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

[Ben Grimm]

Phils in 6!

 

[Magua]

Craigy gave up a 2 run pinch hit shot to a kid with a career 75 OPS+. That’s your World Series closer? I’m dying.

This pitching has been too good until now. Regression is a bitch.

 

[Halladay]

There is a reason Rob was only a bench coach for all those years.

 

[CutOnDime97]

I's all a mirage until the bullpen gets figured out. Middleton has a lot to work do

Some posters clowned on me for calling this all a house of cards because of the bullpen. Well the house of cards is crumbling.

3 losses. 3 leads blown within the last 9 outs. What WS winning team has that to their name? Hoping chess is losing chess. Back to the drawing board! Will be hilarious when the bullpen blows another Wheeler gem tomorrow.

The clowning was well deserved.

Absolute loser way to watch sports.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

One of the worst losses ive seen

TBF, Will Smith closed for the Braves two years ago .

You're right, ignorance is bliss!

 

[Magua]

I wish they could dump Kimbrel and add Yunior Marte to the roster.

This team needs 6 from Wheeler tomorrow. Strahm, Alvarado, Hoffman, Prayer. Those are your horses.

 

[Lord Defect]

f***

 

[CutOnDime97]

You're right, ignorance is bliss!

Ready to admit this is a playoff team?

Season was over after game 2 vs Atlanta? Couldn't make the Braves bleed?

Horses of what? The apocalypse? They rode the horses into the ground last year too

 

[Svechhammer]

That's back to back absolute f***ing unacceptable losses on Topper. f*** this guy

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sure, Charlie.

 

[litflyersfan]

Late inning bullpen was absolute trash. It’s still 2-2 with home field and Wheeler, Nola, and Suarez coming up. They recovered well from the Braves debacle. Eerily similar spots in the series too. How they come out will say a lot. Either way, the series goes through Philly now

It’s not just the bullpen. They need to stop spotting the other team a run or two due to crappy defense. Bite them in butt in the Braves series and again tonight.

 

[DancingPanther]

Sure, Charlie.

Yeah chuck, it's the ump's fault

 

[Ben Grimm]

Kimbrel may be past his peak.

 

[trostol]

Sure, Charlie.

his baseball takes are as good as his hockey takes I see

 

[DancingPanther]

Kimbrel may be past his peak.

I think you might be on to something here lol

 

[Halladay]

Phillies start off as -135 tomorrow and that is with Gallen at home. I think Wheeler will be good again.

 

[Svechhammer]

Toppers bullpen management is just criminally incompetent. I'm sorry but f*** this guy for continually putting guys like Kerkering in key spots. And then bringing in Kimbrel in non save situations has always been the weakness of his game. What the f*** are we doing.

It's stupid f***ing management from guys who have to know better. What the f***

 

[CutOnDime97]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Phillies start off as -135 tomorrow and that is with Gallen at home. I think Wheeler will be good again.

Obvious statement here but they’re gonna need him to be better than good.

 

[Svechhammer]

It doesn't f***ing matter if Topper is f***ing clueless with the bullpen again.

 

[flyershockey]

The high leverage guys have been dog shit out of the pen. The high velocity guys are all over the place. Kimbrel is cooked. Can't locate to save his ass. Walker getting zero appearances is just baffling.

Marsh had every right to be pissy about the zone expansion.

The Astros exposed their approach last year at the plate. I fear that's coming again.

You have your two aces still in the tank. No reason not to win 2 out of 3 here to move one, but their rotation is still going to be upside down if they get past Arizona.

 

[Cody Webster]

Move the A's to Vegas then move the Phillies to Oakland. Absolute bums
