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

Sadness

 

[Halladay]

Lopez is a good pitcher but if you look at his underlying stats he isn't anywhere close to a CY Young candidate. Of course facing the Phillies 3 times will help work that though. Ranger wasn't good enough. Need to split the next 2. Think they will.

 

[DancingPanther]

What do they have 2 wins in those stupid jerseys?

Who the f*** is Max Lazar and why is he pitching in this series?

Lazar is a SFA they picked up (similar to Ruiz), only 25, topped out at 94-95, long relief type.

Marsh is plus fielder in LF, but lacks range for CF. Play Rojas, Hayes isn't hitting much better.

Ranger only second start back, command was off and that's what got him in trouble, but stuff is there.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

How they let John Smoltz and the local Braves guy broadcast this game nationally is a travesty.

 

[Rebels57]

Seriously, why the f*** is Wilson playing 3B in an extremely important game?

Thomson is a f***ing JOKE.

Bohm hurt his hand on a swing 2 nights ago. Sat out last night too.

Im aware. I watch the games. So you play Sosa at 3B and Stott at 2B.

Glad we get in dugout interviews with a Braves pitcher and now the manager.

For the first time in my life, here is some John Smoltz broadcasting praise:

Yes, things have been going well with all 3 major sports teams in town. Excellent analysis.

He’s apparently a hockey fan too. He’d ask my cousin to turn it on whenever he came into the bar he worked in.

He might not necessarily be the absolute best this year but Wheeler retroactively deserves a Cy Young at this point.

Atta boy Arcia

I agree with you though so does Sale. Someone he never has actually won it.

Wheeler was awesome tonight. They probably won the division with this win.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Happiness.

 

[DancingPanther]

Estevez is nasty

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Phils needed a win like this.

 

[Rebels57]

Well that was f***ing awesome

I'm assuming there is a fatal flaw that we don't know about yet. Seems like too good of an arm to give up for Soto.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The other piece in the deal is pitching well too albeit he’s older. I guess the hope with Johnson is getting a quality backend of the rotation guy?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Schwellenbach reminds me of Gallen.

 

[DancingPanther]

Wait lol it's Schellenberger tonight? I'm just gonna turn this off now lol
