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

[Danko]

He should have a statue now. Wall of Fame, whatever.

 

[DancingPanther]

Will they just shut the f*** up and own up to it?

 

[Svechhammer]

I'll tell ya what I've been watching baseball since I was a kid, there's no one that rally's the troops and wants guys to go to war for them more than Bryce Harper. He embodies and embraces this city unlike any athlete we've ever had. I love this man, and idgaf what anyone says that's a bad mother f***er, bad bad bad mother f***er.

The Braves mouthed off about the ONE person in the Phils clubhouse that the entire team rallies around. In one news story, the Phils clubhouse went from downtrodden over the choke to absolutely pissed and focused to make them pay.

And now you damn well know that if they have the opportunity to go for a kill shot tonight, they're doing everything they can to make it happen. Last night was about making them pay, tonight is about sending the message.

The killshot is something I've felt like they struggled with all year. Whether it's something "small" like a shutdown inning or a little more tangible like stranding runners on base, they always loved to keep the other team hanging around.

Hopefully they twist the knife tonight. If they need to get motivated again with the Arcia stuff or find something else, whatever. If the crowd is enough, whatever.

The key is going to be the first 6 outs. The top of the braves lineup is going to come out wanted to mash. Can't let them.

Today the Braves bleed out for good.

Strider will give them his best shot, but I do think the environment is in his head a little. I know he was joking earlier about the crowd noise and not wanting fans at games, but there's always truth to jokes, and if he's even joking about it, its not a great sign for them. Crowd is gonna be all over his ass like they were against CC in 2008 & 2009 and even the best pitchers can break in those situations. If the Phils take advantage, we could be seeing the 1000 yard stares by the 7th inning.

Given the state of the world, I find this to be offensive #ISideWithBravesAnnouncers

DUMBEST take of all time. They're not mocking the chop, they're not mocking Native Americans. They're mocking a bunch of whiny a** white people who normally do the chop. Really not that hard to understand.

Is it really any surprise that 2 of the most popular teams in the southeast are the Braves and the Redskins?

Honoring history is definitely at the forefront of attention for the inebriated crowd watching a sports game

The Braves were on TBS for years where anyone could watch them and the south doesn't really have any other baseball teams before the 90s really. That's the reason.

Has “Maybe it’s a coincidence” ever accompanied something reasonable?

Maybe it's a coincidence that Harper and Castellanos both wore Coach Prime apparel and they both hit two dingers.

They didn't even create it, it came from FSU. And this is the same team that had Cheif Knockahoma until the late 80s.
