Why did they send phillips back out? Do they not think they need a win.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Bee Tee Dubs...

That dude paid $15,510 for that opportunity.

I like when the Phillies can actually score runs.

Jose...

Team meeting worked. Just sayin
They probably played Dancing on my Own in the background.

Seven 2 out runs. That's the difference between the first half and the second. Honestly, just hits with risp if you want to be as basic with it as possible

That Marlins starter stunk. As many balls as strikes and his stuff was so flat. I'm so glad they finally got to him

Bullpen threw a shutout.

Also I got this text from my dad

 

[DancingPanther]

Also I was 100% the first one up on the Schwarber salami

 

[DancingPanther]

I just can't believe they survived the J Bride game

We will remember this.

We will remember this.

I mean I've been leaning positive throughout the entire season so don't put this evil on me. Blame the Flyers, the unfortunate ebb and flow of baseball luck, and IBX

Somebody stop Manfred.

Pitchers are blowing out at an alarming rate. Hey let’s force every starting pitcher to throw 200 innings per year. Minor league pitchers are throwing like 100 innings per year so you would be doubling their workload in one year (in theory). Skenes will blow out by 26.

 

[Halladay]

Says don't expect it to happen anytime soon bit if someone like this were to happen before an automated strike zone contract the league.

Dude how the f*** can this "MLB official" say he wants to reduce the amount of injuries and "return the starting pitcher to prominence" IN THE SAME f***ING SENTENCE

Mindblowingly stupid. This idea needs to not just be buried but shoved into the Earth's core. Holy f***

"We are interested in increasing the amount of action in the game, restoring the prominence of kick returns, and reducing the prevalence of head injuries," an NFL spokesperson said

This is the equivalent. The actual real equivalent.

 

[DancingPanther]

Everyone is saying "well you see it's easier on the arm if you throw 6 innings at 80% rather than 4 innings at 110%"

People are actually saying this in real life.

I am enraged by now myopic and audacious this is. Pretty clear the old heads behind this just want to watch a REAL pitcher pitch again, like Nolan Ryan! Bring back the real pitchers!

I think the thing I would do, if I were to ever do anything, is go 1990’s kickball rules and have a foul out. Used to be 4 fouls and you’re out. That would max out AB’s at 9 pitches. Maybe I’d go to 10. Because that’s far enough to where it doesn’t happen often, but if you’re going further then that, everyone’s wasting our time anyways.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I generally have liked their new rules like the pitch clock, the three batter minimum, the hard count amount of mound visits, etc. but this one doesn’t really make much sense.

 

[Magua]

”Major League Baseball […] wants starting pitchers to be much more of a ‘main character’ type player.”

Hahahaha.

The Ghost Runner is awful too.

 

[Magua]

Can you imagine paying a lot of money for good seats at a Phils game to not have to listen to Ben Davis and RAJ…..and then you’re sitting next to them in the stands? Awful.
