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

[Halladay]

Thats fair. Hopefully adding one of their SPs to the bullpen will help. These are the ebbs and flows of a baseball season. Its just crazy how this team seems to only lose in heartbreaking fashion.

I think Ranger would work best but they might need him to start. They have had a bunch of terrible losses but I think alot of teams are like that that to be fair. The Jays probably lost a game the other night cause Kirk is so fat .

Also, should have Sosa been a replacement for Bohm? I mean that makes sense. They had a 2 run lead.

When Jasson Dominguez homered in his first AB I think the only person happier than him was prob this dude

Spoiler

Two brilliant losses in a row. Terrific

Has a player ever had a strikeout count that’s higher than their average?

Good morning to everyone except Alvarado

Bullpen needs to be better.

Expecting a big game from Bohm today

Really great to see Alvarado, Dominguez, and Kimbrel faltering. Bodes well

Dont forget Soto.

Dont forget Soto.

Dude's been massively inconsistent the entire season.
March/April 2.84 ERA and 0.947 WHIP in 12.2 IP
May 9.64 ERA and a 1.821 WHIP in 9.1 IP
June 0.96 ERA and a 0.643 WHIP in 9.1 IP
July 4.00 ERA and a 1.444 WHIP in 9.0 IP
August 7.45 ERA and a 1.241 WHIP in 9.2 IP

Who was responsible for shifting guys around between the rotation and the bullpen last season? Thomson seems like a ride or die kinda guy. If the team makes another run, it'll be chaos again.

Down to 2.5 now over the cubs. Luckily this team is simply penciled in to the playoffs by most of our fanbase

There are 3 wildcard spots. I'm not penciling them in, but their playoff odds are >95%.

Did you really think there was only 1 WC spot? Lol

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The amount of sarcasm being missed is impressive.

Yeah I totally forgot about the 3rd wildcard spot that enabled the Phillies to enter the playoffs last year

 

[Jack Straw]

But you did remember that they were in the playoffs last year? Seems… odd.

Seems more like a cynical meltdown

Not a meltdown if it’s the same stuff that’s been said all year by the same person.

The meltdowns occurred after the game last night.

Kimbrel's gotta be down again tonight...give that man time off
