The amount of sarcasm being missed is impressive.

Stop white-knighting for DP

Stop white-knighting for DP

He’s the only one here that lined my pocket during from the Phillies season.

 

[DancingPanther]

Seems more like a cynical meltdown

Is continuing to not believe in the same team I haven't believed in since March a meltdown?

I don't play hope chess. If the team is a contender, you'll see me optimistic. If you're not a contender, you're a pretender

 

[DancingPanther]

Nola should be a good stopper tonight

 

[Halladay]

Hoffman and Strahm right now are their most reliable relievers. Ideally Nola throws 6+ innings and they tee off against Rea.

It's been an extended meltdown.

And, you were questioning their playoff odds. That's different from stating they're not a contender.

Nah, just insinuating it's never going to be locked up with this team. No one should be getting comfortable

What? Who is comfortable?

I’m pretty glass half full with the Phillies right now — and optimist I am not. Teams blow games all the time. Phils also had some great comebacks to put themselves in position to blow those leads. Their best hitters are firing (the Turnerssance!), Nola/Wheeler have looked strong of late, and I won’t let a couple bad bullpen games/costly errors make me miss the forest for the trees.

They’re probably the best NL team behind the Braves and Dodgers. I’m going to keep enjoying this after that rancid decade of uncompetitive baseball.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

I tried for 3 games. Guess how 2 of those ended

Please stop telling DP to be positive. Let the man cook.

Whoever is comfortable is comfortable. I didn't name any names, didn't call anyone out. I'm just saying stressful times are ahead.

I think this is what many people miss. Almost every team blows games in dumb ways. I mean, look at that game against the Mets a couple months ago where the Phillies scored 4 runs in the 8th inning with 1 hit. I am very encouraged by Turner and Harper right now though I am concerned with the bullpen currently. They have a month to figure it out. If Seranthony can finally get it together, that would go a long way. I want to see Trea continue hit away from CBP because the splits are drastic.

This is a tremendously good point

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Ball go boom

 

[DancingPanther]

But like ball go boom

 

[DancingPanther]

Nola surely won't give up the lead here

 

[Sombastate]

Ball is likely gonna go boom multiple times with Nola on the mound

 

[wankstifier]

Looks like he struck Santana out twice looking on the live tracker

 

[Jack Straw]

Boom boom

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sometimes ball do go boom.

 

[Halladay]

Well the world is ending, JT has homered. Nice being on this board for 14 and a half years.

Why is there a phone in the Brewers dugout to the Press?

I’m sure it’s common but trying to figure out the purpose.

Maybe for injury info? "Will not be returning", etc
