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

[Kermit the Prog]

I like how the New York teams - combined - still come in at lower odds than the Tigers.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

What changed?

All the Boston everywhere made me physically sick.

 

[DancingPanther]

Still kind of in shock after two pretty clean wins in a row

All the Boston everywhere made me physically sick.

Boston was my AL team growing up since the Phillies largely sucked for most of my childhood (I was only like 2-3 in 1993). Nomar was my favorite player in baseball back then.

I liked Fred Lynn as a kid, which was how it started. Then in the 90s they had my fave, Mike Greenwell, with Ellis Burks. They just always had a bunch of players I liked. Since they traded Mookie, that has really changed, which is another reason I don't care anymore.

Oh no. He’s starting to bolieve.

The Phillies have the perfect antidote to that though. Aaron Nola is on the hill today.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Shut up guy who wanted to trade Harper a few months into his contract and then Turner a few months into his.

He had another tweet touting the Schwarber signing.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

He had another tweet saying Schwarber’s one of the best free agent signings in team history.

I'm sure that spawned a healthy and fun debate between the factions that are already raging against each other on the Schwarber topic.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Ready for the home run derby today.

That tweet is a little misleading. Doc really fell off in 2012 and 2013, which hurt his numbers.

Not taking away from wheeler...hes has been a fantastic and consistent ace for us...but i feel like people look at that tweet and think it means Wheeler is as good as Doc was when 2010/2011 Doc was on a whole other level.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Also a different era of baseball.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Great camera work.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Well the usual suspects ruined that.

 

[Flybynite]

 

[DancingPanther]

Great call blue.

Phils score first AND get a shutdown inning from Nola? Who stuck me through a wormhole to an alternate universe when I wasn't looking

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The last thing I want to see after the Phillies strand two runners on base for the second straight inning is Michael Rapaport’s annoying ass.

Not to mention, all the stats per IP framing loses the fact that Doc was pitching deeper into games. I know that’s across the league, but it still matters. I would guess Doc averaged 7ip vs Wheeler closer to 6, which matters

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Back to back quality starts for Nola.

 

[FLYguy3911]

@DancingPanther is in shambles.

 

[Halladay]

Excellent start by Nola. Johan was 3-3 too. Great job sweeping them. Almost been two months since they have had a sweep.

[Gregor Samsa]

Dominant back to back starts by Wheeler and Nola. Maybe I’m naive and optimistic but if Harper gets his power back, Turner performs more like his norm, and Nola and Wheeler pitch how they are capable of, I think this team has the potential to go places
