[DancingPanther]

Doug Pfister, Mariners legend

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Just saying, I'm not in a hurry to spend the night in something associated with the word "Phister," naw'mean?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think I watched like two games during their whole western road trip which were both the Sunday day games.

 

[Halladay]

Taijuan returns tonight. Exactly what this team need.

 

[Rebels57]

Taijuan returns tonight. Exactly what this team need.

It's his birthday too.

 

[Cody Webster]

Taijuan returns tonight. Exactly what this team need.

I picked him up in fantasy...go heavy on the Marlins

 

[Danko]

So Walkers back...looking as Walkery as usual

 

[DancingPanther]

At least Josh Bell isn't on this team anymore

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Just admit defeat on Walker’s contract at this point.

Just admit defeat on Walker’s contract at this point.

They kind of have. He didn't throw one postseason inning last year. Still, I'd like to see them go the whole 9 and dfa his useless ass. Saw this coming from second #1

 

[Rebels57]

Dombrowski should be fired for the Walker contract alone. Take Long and Thomson with you on the way out you.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Riveting baseball.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Yeah that’s a channel changer for me, what a joke of a team right now.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Marsh wearing Stubbs’ helmet explains a lot.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lulz.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Marsh, Stott, Turner, & Realmuto (am I missing anybody else?) are totally useless right now at the plate.

 

[Sombastate]

Marsh, Stott, Turner, & Realmuto (am I missing anybody else?) are totally useless right now at the plate.

Basically 5 automatic outs when you include that Rojas is normally a guarantee, too

 

[Rebels57]

Marsh, Stott, Turner, & Realmuto (am I missing anybody else?) are totally useless right now at the plate.

Again, how does Kevin Long keep his job?

 

[Sombastate]

This really is the Eagles season repeated

 

[GKJ]

Turner finally under .300

 

[Rebels57]

I am now fully convinced that the only way the Phillies are going to turn it around is if they lose the Division lead. They need to get the desperation back in their play, but the rest of the division seems to suck too much to let that happen. So they are just going to limp along and lose in the Wild Card round and then do nothing in the offseason again because Dombrowski stopped making impactful moves the second the ink was dry on the Turner contract.

Also, they REALLY need to fire Kevin Long.

 

[Halladay]

This game couldnt have gone more to script, Taijuan pitching and they fall behind in the 1st inning. Who couldnt see that coming. Getting shut out.

 

[DancingPanther]

8 ip 4h 1 er 9K 2 bb for Seranthony btw. Very thrilled a high ceiling reliever with a track record was traded for a fourth OF

 

[Sombastate]

The Phillies really have an interesting approach to batting

Option 1: swing at the first pitch
Option 2: eventually strike out
