Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2024 Edition)

[Rebels57]

Leadoff double and nothing...gonna be a lot of that with the stiffs in the lineup. Nick is incapable of moving a runner over against a righty. A high-schooler can strike him out.

 

[Flybynite]

Add another lead-off double wasted without any runs.

 

[Halladay]

Nick coming up small when they need him most now, no surprise.

 

[Halladay]

The f***ing Sanchize, he is Cole lite. Ugly game offensively as expected but the pitching will carry them.

 

[Rebels57]

Wheeler and Nola are the 3rd and 4th best starters we have this season

La Viva La Raza!

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Well Sanchez had a game at least

 

[Rebels57]

I waited 3 months to go to this game tomorrow and get to watch THIS offense lol

My only Flyers game ever was a 1-0 shutout for the Flyers.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Senor Nasty

 

[Flybynite]

This offense is like a spring training split squad

 

[DancingPanther]

There's so much pressure on the pitching right now. They're going to score 2 runs a game until mid July probably

As a Guardians fan... oh dear

SP is gonna be the death of us in the postseason

 

[GKJ]

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah they're going to lose a lot of games over the next couple weeks

If the Braves could get their shit together the Phils would be in 2nd by the time they get healthy

 

[Flybynite]

Phillies pinch hitters are .154 on the season

 

[Rebels57]

Worst game ive ever attended, as expected

 

[DancingPanther]

Gonna be a lot of games like this these next few weeks lol

 

[Rebels57]

Imagine pinch-hitting with CHRISTIAN PACHE in ths 9th. I am deceased.

 

[FLYguy3911]

And that's the guy people wanted to pinch hit in the 4th inning of a game 7.

 

[Rebels57]

If they go .500 between now and the AS game, its a Miracle.

 

[Rebels57]

6th loss when leading after the 7th and people think the bullpen is World Series calibre

Their relievers league the majors in WAR, FIP, and are tied for 5th in ERA. They're 22% better than the average MLB bullpen park adjusted. They miss barrels at the 5th best rate in the league. Some of those late losses have to do with the offense not scoring for 6 innings, etc. The bats need to pull their weight too in crunch time

I'm in the boat where you can never have too many guys back there and would like to add one, but they're absolutely good enough. Still you should never shy away from any opportunity to improve your team.

This bullpen is really good. Strahm was pitching at an unstainable level and is due regression. Still think they need to add another arm in the pen, but the problem right now is they are so impotent> maybe give Trea another ovation, cause right now either he or Nick need to get hot because there is so little power in the lineup. Last year the two months of the season he had an OPS of 1000. We need that for the next 2 weeks or so. There are 13 games left til the break, if they can get 5 or 6 wins that is good enough for me.. Then after Bryce, Kyle, and JT should be back. Just need to hold on til then.

 

[Rebels57]

Team has completely fallen apart in a manner of 72 hours. They might not win a game the next 2 weeks. Forget about their Division lead.

 

[Halladay]

Rob going with Soto in the 8th. There is an off day tomorrow and none of the other top relievers have pitched both of the last two games.

He got it done.
