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

Ranger turning into a pumpkin.

I'm actually glad to see that his velocity is down, means there likely is something physically wrong rather than him just sucking ass.

Skip his next start or 2, see if that helps.

 

[DancingPanther]

He's throwing 89 :'(

That's not good. Shoulder inflammation coming when

So you'd rather see that he's injured? Wild

 

[Rebels57]

This might be the worst start of Rangers career.

 

[Svechhammer]

Sweep LA and shelled by Oakland

Yeah that tracks

 

[Rebels57]

As shitty as this game has been, they were only down 2 going into the 8th. Bringing in Johan Ruiz effectively threw in the towel..and right on queue he allows a 2 run homer and the game is over.

This better be the last game Ruiz ever pitches for the Phillies.

 

[Cody Webster]

Sorry

 

[DancingPanther]

0-1 in the post whit era

 

[Cody Webster]

Trea threw in the towel

 

[GKJ]

This McFarland guy is in his 12th year in the majors, always as a reliever, and he’s setting career highs for appearances in July

 

[Cody Webster]

That dude can throw fast

 

[FLYguy3911]

That was straight cheese.

Suarez's velocity has been down this year. Maybe he was 0.5 to 1 mph slower tonight than usual? Just eyeballed the Gameday numbers. Was still working around to 92 on his four seamer and 91 on his sinker at times, which are his averages so far.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

That was straight cheese.

Trade Painter ++ for him? That was a conversation on the radio I caught today. I've never seen him before tonight, but that was impressive.

Miller was moved to the bullpen because of a UCL sprain. I'd want more certainty at that cost.

 

[Svechhammer]

This game was lost when they left like 6 or 7 runners on base in the first few innings while only scoring 1.

Ranger wasn't good, and they need to fix that, but the offense stagnated. Can't expect that to be the case most nights going forward

They drew 5 walks in the 1st three innings and somehow only scored 1 run. Just one of those nights. Im less concerned with the loss and more concerned with Ranger.

Caba has 34 SB in 44 games. Plus contact, defense, and baserunning. Potential superstar if he has any power?

He’s amazing but trading premium assets for a closer that may or may not be a ticking time bomb is risky.

I’d probably take some combo of Painter, Miller, Crawford, and maybe whoever they pick tomorrow. Abel too I guess but the star has dimmed there.

Power is a big if but he was getting top 100 hype before playing a game in the US so yeah if he can hit even a little he’s a star.

More guys left on base. Stott looking atrocious

Those two swings he took on that same pitch today were the worst I can remember from him. Needs corrective lenses against this guy apparently.

 

[DancingPanther]

That's my boy

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Great AB by Trea. Throw me that bullshit two times in a row? Nope. Gimme the pitch I want. Smoked it

 

[Svechhammer]

Well, pitching is collapsing late again. Kerk only manages 1 out after coming in before being pulled. Not ideal

 

[Halladay]

This game is getting interesting. Oye. Soto in.
