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

[SolidSnakeUS]

I don't think any other team swings at the first pitch and gives them an easy out. Holy shit...

 

[Halladay]

What a delusional franchise to continue to let Taijuan start today.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

13 hits allowed in 5+ innings and he's still there.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Among those with 50+ Innings, Walker was 266th out of 268 Pitchers in FIP coming into today. 50% of his contact counted as Hard Hits. That's with some approach changes like throwing the Sinker more. There's almost no angle you can find that says he should still be run out there besides his contract.

Still worried about the bats more than the pitching.

 

[DancingPanther]

This Astros catcher wants everything. Calm down dude

This is 100% going to be a no hitter lol

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Not to be a WIP caller but Bohm needs to cut it with that shit. Stop moping.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Walker didn’t record a single strikeout through six innings of work. I feel like that’s pretty hard to do in today’s game.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yay, another HR given up!

 

[DancingPanther]

That'll teach em lol

Maybe the Phils could embrace a more effective approach on days like today rather than swinging at "The First Pitch" all the time

Is he ok after Nola's start last night?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Probably one of the last 90+ degree days left, an earlier Wednesday start, & Walker on the bump. The fans that actually showed up today didn’t get their money’s worth.

 

[DancingPanther]

Wait also you guys how hilarious is it that the manager was compelled so hard to protect Walker from The Booing by switching him out after he completed his half of the inning lol. The player's coach!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Oh my f***ing god, another one pitch out for the final out of the period. Phillies have done this for 2 or 3 innings so far.

 

[DancingPanther]

Anyway yeah this is a no hitter for sure

All things considered, this very well might end up being the most lopsided loss in Phillies history and I'm thrilled that Stubbs and Walker have their grubby paws all over it

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m only watching still because I want to see if Ricky Bo goes nuts on the post game.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

And another HR! Keep it going Phils!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

He would hit a Homer to that area of the field. Combine that with a no hitter and we’re cooking.

Now just give me a ridiculous play down the line by a first baseman and the house of horrors will be complete.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Three HRs for Alvarez in this game!

Significant to some

Oh my f***ing god, another one pitch out for the final out of the period. Phillies have done this for 2 or 3 innings so far.

Throwing a 92 mph strike on the first pitch... He deserved to lose that no-hitter. Every 1st pitch should have been in the dirt or chest high. Phillies would swing at it.

They could’ve skipped him if they wanted to after the bullpen game on Sunday. Won 2 out of 3 and now you have your 4 guys against the Braves. No excuse not to win 3 of 4 and put their playoff spot in peril.

 

[DancingPanther]

Well at least it isn't the most lopsided loss in the history of the franchise anymore. Does anyone have the vid of Hays' hit?

 

[Flybynite]

If the Phillies don't sweep the 4-game series against the Braves, the Braves will hold the season-tie breaker should they end up tied. The Phillies are 3-6 on the season against the Braves.

So a the Phillies need to outright win the division by a full game if they lose even one against the Braves.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kruk suggesting putting Walker in the bullpen until he figures it out.
