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

[Sombastate]

Honestly, I think that's a series losing game.

You're up 4-0. All the momentum. You give them a free run.

Just bad all around.

 

[Svechhammer]

Whole lotta people in that crowd who could use a face rearranging via bat

What a bad loss

Positive: we would've considered a split leaving ATL as a success

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can’t lose that one.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Cliff Lee would be proud of that performance.

Offense blew it. Too many men left on base.

Hang another breaking ball while you’re at it.

 

[litflyersfan]

Womp. Nick shouldnt be hitting there in the first place.

I crap on Nick a lot, but that was ****ing two feet away from a homer. Guy is actually showing plate discipline for once.

Honestly, one of the worst managed postseason games I've ever seen. Every call Rob made was the wrong one. His handling of the pitching staff was atrocious.

Which nets out Game 1, but still. You can't coach games to losses like that. f***ing unacceptable

Dodgers are in trouble already

 

[DancingPanther]

The braves bullpen is bad too guys. Maybe even worse!

 

[Halladay]

You had a chance to go up 2-0. They were bigger favorites to win this game than the Eagles ever were in the Super Bowl. They blew it. They arent winning this series.

Absolutely series ending loss

 

[wankstifier]

They've had devastating losses all year. It's a feature

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I always forget what playoffs are like. After every game it’s either plan the parade or the sky is falling

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s over for the Phils.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

ASF creaming himself.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Braves were bleeding out but got revived just in time.

 

[Sombastate]

Absolutely series ending loss

I honestly think so. You knocked around their Co-Ace. Your own ace was fantastic until a terrible error. And then everything else was just bad, bad, bad. That's tough psychologically

 

[trostol]

Nola on Wed....yikes

 

[Adam Warlock]

They went down to Atlanta and stole one. Sucks they had this one too..but 9 times out of 10, 4 runs isnt gonna be enough to beat this team. Glad they got one W but gonna really need the bats to wake up at CBP.

Bullpen sucks. Topper has way too much faith in them. Its pretty much russian roulette with most of the arms out there....hes gotta stop acting like its a sure thing.

Good news is theyve had close games blown plenty of times before so they should know how to shake it off.

I am worried about Trea.

ASF creaming himself.

His baseball opinions suck just as bad as his hockey opinions.

 

[Rebels57]

Just an incredible amount of f*** ups right when we had them on the ropes. Really gutted right now.

His baseball opinions suck just as bad as his hockey opinions.

Is he not right though? Harper should not have kept running there like it was 2 outs already.

 

[DancingPanther]

Devastating losses in a short playoff series are devastating. They won't survive this one. Left Wheeler in too long, threw dumb pitches in big situations, and the offense choked about 12 guys on base. Completely erased everything about game 1.

They have a rookie set to pitch at CBP next game. They better not f*** that up like they f***ed this up. The winner of next game wins the series

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

Wow, the bed wetting here is real! Yes, a terrible and avoidable loss. But a series losing loss? No. Ease up folks.

 

[Halladay]

They blew it, this was their chance.

When you have 3 run lead with 9 outs to go in the playoffs, you have to win it. They didnt. They blew it. Im usually more pretty positive but you cant lose this game.
