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

[Halladay]

I know the Braves finished 16 games ahead of the Phillies but Bryce missed the first month and came back super early from TJS. The gap wasnt really 16 games. Probably 7 or 8 in reality.

 

[Sombastate]

Harper is the absolute f***ing best.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

2 run lead is a much more comfortable cushion in a game like this. Gracias Harper

Against the Braves, anything less then five is all the same.

 

[DancingPanther]

They can't keep walking the tightrope. They need Alvarado here big time

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

ILY Bryce Harper

Granted it was in a jam but their best reliever only got 1 out. Not ideal. So this will be a tightrope the rest of the way.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

That HR was the hardest hit ball Strider has ever allowed by 3.5 mph.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Schwarber would have gotten that.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Against the Braves, anything less then five is all the same.

I’d still much prefer if the tying run wasn’t walking up to the plate every at bat. Any breathing room

 

[Jack Straw]

Schwarber would have gotten that.

… on the 2nd bounce

We have now reached the point in the bullpen game where I rock back and forth muttering. I am scared to see to whom they might give an inning before Kimbrel even gets it.

Just wait til Kimbrel comes in .

Orion’s warming up.

Relax.

 

[Magua]

Orion’s warming up.

Relax.

But after! Lorenzen?! Soto?! TAIJUAN?!

 

[Halladay]

Orion’s warming up.

Relax.

Can he get more than 3 outs????

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

But after! Lorenzen?! Soto?! TAIJUAN?!

Orion for 3 innings, IMO.

10 strikeouts, one extra just for fun.

As you can tell, shitposting to hide my fear is my defense mechanism.

 

[Magua]

I just realized who Strider bases his foot stance on.

 

[Jack Straw]

Orion time

We have now reached the point in the bullpen game where I rock back and forth muttering. I am scared to see to whom they might give an inning before Kimbrel even gets it.

I’m hitting the scotch

 

[Halladay]

I think Orion will be great in the future, but can we get more than an inning out of any of these relievers? I mean their best reliever only got 1 out ffs. Im not ready for Kimbrel. Bottom of the order for Orion granted, but there are no easy outs in the lineup!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sanchez maybe?

 

[Jack Straw]

Apropos of nothing, Brian Anderson might just be my favorite PxP guy. Great on NBA games too.

 

[DancingPanther]

Here we go kid

 

[BrindamoursNose]

That HR was the hardest hit ball Strider has ever allowed by 3.5 mph.

I haven't believed in Angels in the Outfield ever in my life...but that ball was crushed with such intensity, I think the supernatural had to be involved.

Or, the alternative I guess is that Bryce Harper is just a f***ing beast of a man.

[Cody Webster]

What a great inning
