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

[Rebels57]

Hopefully Turnbull is healthy soon because Ranger cant start a playoff game.

Ranger is looking unplayable heading into postseason.

I cant figure out why he (and whoever is catching) keep throwing his atrocious curveball in the zone. Its legit a high school level pitch right now. Baffling.

Ranger is looking unplayable heading into postseason.

Which is so unfortunate.

Thank god for Sanchez

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Don't think we have the horses this time around.

Grab Soto and we go again in April.

Wheeler, Nola, Sanchez is still one of the best Top 3's in Baseball and our Bullpen is elite.

Sanchez has a 400 ERA away from CBP and Nola is prone to random dogshit starts. They would have to be almost perfect.

Bryce is also clearly dealing with an injury.

Every rotation has issues. Dodgers have 1 good pitcher and Kershaw might not be returning.

Bryce is hitting like .350 the past month. His elbow is really on driving down his HR totals.

 

[Schwarbomb]

2nd seed it is.

 

[Halladay]

I don't mind getting the 2nd seed and avoiding the Padres in a potential 5 game series. There is a major Ranger problem though.

Rhys hit a grandslam as the Mets have imploded early. The Tigers have secured a playoff spot. Number 121 for the White Sox.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Ranger has to be coming out of the pen in the PO’s, right? Something is really wrong. He was stellar the first ~half of the season but after the injury he fell off a cliff. If he’s not healthy he shouldn’t be pitching. The way his ERA (I know it isn’t a be all, end all stat) ballooned is concerning

 

[DancingPanther]

Dodgers up 6-1, can pretty much kiss the 1 seed goodbye at this point.

 

[FLYguy3911]

When this team loses they really lose.

 

[swami24]

2nd seed will have better matchups

 

[Flybynite]

Dodgers got 10 runs in their 'hangover' game after clinching the NL West.

[DancingPanther]

I don't know what to think of the Mets/Braves. The Mets scare me more being so hot (cooling down lately), but we have to keep Whit very, very far away from the Phillies in the playoffs. Believe me

 

[Halladay]

The Snakes pretty much have to win the next two against the Dad's to have a chance. Both Atlanta and the Mets hold the tiebreaker over them.

We gonna have a situation where the Braves and Mets agree to each forfeit a game? That even allowed?

This friggin guy.

Wheeler, Nola, Sanchez is still one of the best Top 3's in Baseball and our Bullpen is elite.

Post-season you can do a bullpen game (game 4) as long as 3 RPs are saved for game 5 and then day off for bullpen to rest.
So that can happen each series.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Aaron Judge with the 5K performance to help the Phillies now only need one win in the last two games to clinch home field in the World Series if they’re to get there.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Offense is inspiring.

Edit: And that’ll do it.

 

[Rebels57]

Gonna get swept by the horrendous Nationals and limp into their bye week. Their offense goes missing for too many consecutive innings to be excited for the playoffs. They needed one more legit bat at the deadline but instead added that bum Hays who cant stay healthy for more than 17 minutes in a row.
