Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2023 Edition)

[Hollywood Cannon]

He had a bad first inning in the game 2. He was fine in game 6.

Now I have PTSD about the discourse of Rob taking him out “too early” against the Padres and then the Astros.

No pitcher can avoid the blowup outing

 

[DancingPanther]

He didn’t choke.

The staff is a big reason that they’re halfway decent this year.

6 earned in 10 innings in the world series is a huge choke job. Nola and Wheeler folded like a house of cards in the WS, appropriately foreshadowing the house of cards that is the 2023 season

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

1-2-3 inning. Nice response there.

Yeah I mean the Nationals blow up a lot of pitching. Can hardly blame Wheeler here. Just like Nola and the Royals, sometimes you have to tip your cap to the opposing lineup

 

[trostol]

so..never turned it on..may as well go watch The Sting

Glad to meet ya kid you're a real horse's ass

 

[trostol]

Bryce's hat looks weird

also did they do the Field of Dreams game this year?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Williams is BP so this isn't out of reach but that's a huge outfield.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Interviews during live action? Do they do this every year?

Not this year.

Next year they’re doing it in Birmingham at one of the Negro League’s fields. I think it’s the Giants and Cardinals.

 

[Halladay]

They hit Williams the other 3 starts this year, time to score some runs.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Not their night.

 

[Rebels57]

88 fastball down the middle and Stott misses...these ABs are pathetic

 

[Rebels57]

He didn’t choke.

Wheeler only gave them 10.1 innings over 2 WS starts, allowing 9 hits, 4 walks, and 6 ER. He stunk in the WS.

They were trying to carry him to the finish line. His arm was cooked. He was put on the IL in August last year with arm issues and were trying to get him rest.

People forget that going into the World Series we weren’t even sure if he was going to pitch. Alvarado gave up the bomb to Alvarez and those were the only runs he gave up in the second game. He did as much as you could expect from him given the situation.

That’s not choking.

It’s also 2022. That’s what happens now. Pitchers aren’t going 7 or 8 anymore and they had what they thought was a lights out bullpen. I don’t even know if he broke 70 pitches in either of those games.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is my fault, I’m sorry. Technically I bet on the Phillies even though it was a prop.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Castellanos should be mic’d up every game.

 

[Halladay]

They should be hitting Williams like they did their previous 3 times this year but instead they have 1 hit.

 

[DancingPanther]

When does the Schwarber experience end? I'm ready for it to end. Throw that annual money (and Nola's) at Shohei.

What a potent lineup this is. Mashed Williams around as expected

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is my fault, I’m sorry. Technically I bet on the Phillies even though it was a prop.

Prop cashed. No longer sorry.

The books took an absolute shelling on Wheeler UNDER 1.5 BBs.

 

[Halladay]

Most pathetic performance of the year.

 

[DancingPanther]

Most pathetic performance of the year.

They have a new one of those every other week. This team is garbage

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Extending this game another couple of minutes is tragic.

I want to go to bed.
