Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: Red October (2024 Edition)

Bryce Harper's one of the most overrated players in sports. Tired of hearing how he's the heart & soul. He's a pampered self-centered spoiled brat.

*sniff*

Does anyone smell something burning?

He's 2nd all time in postseason wRC+ (>200 PA) and has a 2B and 2 BB today. Holy derp, Batman.

I demand apologies btw

I think Sanchez will deliver tomorrow, don't think the lineup will produce much though.

I usually don't take the bait on things this stupid. But this is the most Pejorative Slured post I've seen in a long time.

I think things like this are why I watch cricket and aussie rules football lol

Should have had coaching changes after the choke last year

It's already costing us this year

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Hoffman, Strahm and OK had such great years so I’m not sure to improve the bullpen unless it’s Thompson just not having the right feel for which reliever to put in.

The offense is more concerning and they seem to struggle to manufacture runs a lot in the postseason. Few guys that can work counts or come up with a slap hit in a crucial spot when the going is tough. It almost feels like an approach philosophy type of problem. When they are feasting everything is grand but they struggle to string together anything when the ball isn’t going boom

Still just the first game though but it makes game two a must win

I dont like Rob though how did he blow this game? Only Schwarber had a hit through 7.

 

[Chinatown88]

Need more slap hitters

 

[The Last Red]

Ok?

And the Phillies have the 2nd best record in MLB this year despite having every 5th game a guaranteed Taijuan loss. It ain't worth losing sleep over this matchup, we've got this

You were saying? Must win tomorrow obviously.

 

[Adam Warlock]

100%. Im expecting us to get absolutlely rocked in game 1. My only hope is we lose like 8 to 5 so at least it means our bats are awake at least.

Aaaaaand we got rocked. And didnt score runs. Nothing to hang our hat on in game 2.

So predictable.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

This lineup overall just has never felt like they are good enough. Stott especially just feels useless. Marsh and Rojas aren't giving anything either

99 drag bunt cheese.

 

[Chinatown88]

99 drag bunt cheese.

Stop reminding me of things related to pizza. It's painful. @Starat327

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

That went about exactly as expected with this team.

Give me Soto.

 

[Halladay]

I'm quite confident Sanchez will pitch well tomorrow and that the lineup won't appear again.

Mets gonna win the world series. Really don't want to see their owner win anything.

Theyll fizzle out. I cant see them beating these better teams in a 7 game series.

If this was a 7 game series id feel a lot more confident the phillies can turn it around...but a short series is gonna favor the hot team.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I still like their chances if they win game 2 but game 2 might as well be a game 7. The Phillies certainly can beat the Mets 3 times in a row but it is unlikely. Offense has to show up tomorrow and pitchers should be on tight leashes

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The Phillies using as many pitchers in this game as the Mets used even with Wheeler going 7 is kind of hilarious.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sirianni and these bums being at the game explains a lot too.

 

[Halladay]

See what kind of intestinal fortitude this team has. The last 13 winners have been down in a series at some point, many more than that before. See if they respond.
