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

[Svechhammer]

Biggest f***ing choke job this city has seen since Andy Reid. Losing 4 out of 5 to this team, including back to back elimination games at home is f***ing unacceptable.

Topper isn't getting fired, but his ass needs to be held to the flame.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Game 6 and 7 Harper and Turner are 0-15 with one walk between them. Way too much money for that type of performance in pivotal games.

Mostly I blame Thompson. Too many bad decisions or lack of decisions

But it ain’t quite over yet

 

[Halladay]

After Rob blew game 4 I had an uneasy feeling. Cant mess around find out. A BABIP game like this could always potentially happen. So best not get in this scenario.

 

[Flybynite]

half a billion+ for some fly-outs.

 

[litflyersfan]

Wheeler body language reads like he just doesn’t give a **** right now, can’t blame him.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Wheeler doesn't have his command either for the cherry on top of this shit sandwich.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

I need a hug.

I need one of those MIB memory eraser thingies

 

[Halladay]

half a billion+ for some fly-outs.

Byce hit that really well tbf.

 

[Svechhammer]

Score 3 f***ing runs in elimination games

Our hitting sucks

 

[Magua]

It is so hard to get to the World Series. Even for the best teams. I didn’t think after last year they’d sniff it again for a long time. That 2 days ago I thought they could (should!) is such a gut punch.

 

[GKJ]

It’s felt like it’s been an inning later than it’s been for like 3 innings

 

[DancingPanther]

House of cards

 

[Magua]

House of cards

We needed you 1 hour ago!

 

[Halladay]

It is so hard to get to the World Series. Even for the best teams. I didn’t think after last year they’d sniff it again for a long time. That 2 days ago I thought they could (should!) is such a gut punch.

After 1964 this is the biggest choke in Philadelphia sports history. Maybe the 1977 76ers but that Blazers team was great. 1981 that was a great Celtics team too.

 

[Embiid]

I prefer some hits from Turner...

 

[DancingPanther]

We needed you 1 hour ago!

Yup I would have changed everything

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Gotta give Arizona credit, they’re a better team than they appear. Beat the Brewers, Dodgers, and about to be Philly

 

[Svechhammer]

After the last 2 runs the message is loud and clear. You absolutely cannot have black holes in the lineup. Castellanos and Stott have been black holes both years, and Rojas is one this year.

You stick with Stott because his defense is too good, but Casty sucks in the field. You just can't have him playing anymore. He sucks, it is who he is, he's a regular season guy who sucks in the clutch.

 

[Magua]

Yup I would have changed everything

You change everything for me.

 

[djw99]

we need hits.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Just string some baserunners together. Only a 2 run game. They ain’t dead yet

 

[Halladay]

Time is running out but this isnt over. But with Nick and Pache it probably is.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Gotta at least get enough traffic that the top of the order gets one last crack at it. Seems like a stretch. This is slow and painful.

 

[Rebels57]

Get someone on base here and suddenly its 1 pitch away from a tie game.

 

[achdumeingute]

After 1964 this is the biggest choke in Philadelphia sports history. Maybe the 1977 76ers but that Blazers team was great. 1981 that was a great Celtics team too.

I think the 2002 NFCCG, 1997 SCF, and 2000 NHL ECF were FAR worse, personally.

Edit.. it was 2000 vs NJD
