Can't call those strikes, can you, Mr. Magoo?

 

[Halladay]

JT is really bad currently. Nick just swings at any slider off the plate, that was like 2 feet outside.

 

[trostol]

that, Nick, was an ugly swing

 

[ponder719]

Jesus, stop trying to hit one and hit one!

 

[Halladay]

This will be the 6th loss in a row. They were up 5-0 and havent scored since the 5th. They seem to think they are playing little league as they stop scoring after the 6th inning most games.

It's a damn good thing Summerslam was good, or else this evening would have been a total wash.

 

[trostol]

really? walked in the winning run..WTF

That 1-2 pitch was completely in the zone.

Rob needed to get tossed after Bryce got called out on strikes, that was ridiculous this umping.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Ump decided he'd be worse than the phils

ump was awful

 

[Halladay]

This team is lifeless. Hoffman gave up 4 earned runs though he shouldnt have faced Raley, Strahm was up. Bryce gets called out on two terrible strikes and no one in the dugout reacts, nobody saying a word about the bottom of the 10th. They stop scoring after the 5th inning. JT looks horrible, Marchan should be up and catching more. Not Stubbs and his .520 OPS.

Then who the hell's going to pitch?

 

[trostol]

i don't care if it hurts his ego or he is "the team" ya gotta sit Bryce and give him a day to just watch

 

[DancingPanther]

Feels like the Eagles

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Feels like ‘22 and ‘23. We were just lucky those years that we only had to watch it for a couple games. No such luck this year.

Wooooooof.

 

[Svechhammer]

Yep, Topper is officially coaching for his job the rest of the year

That's just a completely unacceptable loss for this team right now. Our managing is completely non-existent, the players are being left up to their own to figure out how to win.

Agree on Bryce, just sit him a few games and reset. The manager really doesn't have many cards to play. He Needs to change up the approach. Pitching wise what can they do?

Wooooooof.

At least most will be asleep while this is happening. They did get hard done by the ump last night. Though the Phillies stop scoring after the 6th inning most nights. It's like they are in little league.

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah he ain't managing shit.

At this point I think this team has had the good play actively coached out of them. Their fundamentals are all f***ed, they're swinging at everything and their pitching is all over the place. And dumbass in charge keeps saying they're just too good to not be good.

f***ing idiot

The 31st anniversary of when a 26 year old Robin Ventura got manhandled after charging the mound against a 46 year old Nolan Ryan.

Exactly what a free falling team needs lol. Just brutal

Dudes and dudettes. Need an assist. For an evening game, is an hour enough time to catch a train and be into center city for a show?

From West Philly? Sure. From New York City? Probably not
