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

Bullpen is saving their shutdown innings for the playoffs

 

[FLYguy3911]

In hindsight, they probably needed a 0 in the 10th to extend the game.

 

[Rebels57]

Yeah I think I might be done after that one. Its a f***ing disgrace what this pitching staff has done to this team.

 

[CutOnDime97]

 

[DancingPanther]

They'll be back with a vengeance in game 2.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Cave playing both games while Bohm sits game 2? Seems legit.

 

[trostol]

this dude cant get the ball over the plate

 

[CutOnDime97]

Good start

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

You just don't waltz into CBP expecting to beat the Phils twice in a day.

 

[Rebels57]

Only need 7 more runs to hang on

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’ll push one more run across from here on out & Lorenzen/the bullpen will give up like 8 between that time.

 

[trostol]

good lord that was launched

 

[CutOnDime97]

You knew that one was coming

 

[DancingPanther]

We all know this team has almost no shot of missing the playoffs (95% playoff odds!!), so it's a good time to consider their strengths and weaknesses. Sure they strike out a lot, but the 2 biggest keys to success in the playoffs are clutch hitting and good pitching. This squad is exceptional at both of those facets. Looking forward to another deep run this October

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

I didn't think they would be a playoff team this year, yes even with the Turner addition. Compared to NHL and NBA it's actually somewhat of an accomplishment making MLB postseason, so I'm a happy camper.

They're not a Playoff team yet.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Two more innings to not give up two runs. Can they do it?

Unlikely.

 

[DancingPanther]

This lead will be blown. 4 runs is what they need. The Braves have 3 more in them for sure

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yeah, that's not going to come back to bite them.

[Hollywood Cannon]

Full faith that Kimbrel won't blow this.

 

[Magua]

 

[DancingPanther]

Punkd by Jackson Stephens and Pierce Johnson. Nice

Full faith that Kimbrel won't blow this.

We all know how this ends

 

[DancingPanther]

Nice play by Sosa there
