thnx nola

 

[Sombastate]

Always new this was a chance with Nola, and the unfortunate reality? That chance happened.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Here we go

 

[Cody Webster]

That's ball game. See ya tomorrow

 

[FLYguy3911]

Lorenzen here? Oh boy.

 

[Svechhammer]

Nola just isn't a bright lights pitcher. Annually he melts down in the biggest moments. I really don't care what his overall stats are when he chokes when it means the most

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Well that’s it for me.

 

[DancingPanther]

Hey look, it turns out they're not going to go undefeated at home for the rest of playoff eternity and in fact blowing multiple run leads in the waning innings of a road game is actually bad

 

[trostol]

how much realistically would it take to keep Nola? And is that money better spent for a different name

 

[Halladay]

So now Lorenzen comes in but not Friday night after Sanchez. Ok.

 

[Svechhammer]

Aaron Nola is the Donovan McNahb of pitchers

 

[Rebels57]

Lorenzen here? Oh boy.

Basically conceding the 5th run. Crazy.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Depending how the bottom of the inning goes, if the game isn’t close to being in reach, I’d save the bullpen for game 7. Have Lorenzen and Walker, or f*** it, even Kimbrel, shoulder the load

 

[Svechhammer]

how much realistically would it take to keep Nola? And is that money better spent for a different name

Too much

Yes

 

[Rebels57]

I felt like we could come back but that 4th run is a killer with how we're swinging

Plus Thomson should have changed the lineup a couple games ago, now you're going into a game 7 and if you rework the lineup you look scared and give that vibe to the rest of the team.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Nola sucked but don’t let the offense off the hook. 1 for 7 RISP tonight.

 

[Rebels57]

Lorenzen keeps us alive..on life support, but alive

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Game isn’t over yet. The top of the lineup has to get something here though. If they don’t I’m taking a break

 

[Halladay]

They need to hit but he colossally screwed up game 4 and all of us could see it except him. Now there will be a game 7.

 

[Sombastate]

Massive out. We can absolutely come back

 

[Rebels57]

Yep ..hes incredibly afraid of change. Its his achilles heel.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Put yourselves back in the game, please.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Oh a fastball! Good idea

Probably looking at a minimum of Carlos Rodon money ($27 million AAV, 6 years). Don’t know if I’d want to be the team paying that, especially with Wheeler due for new contract following next season. Phillies are not the Mets in terms of payroll.
