Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 Continues Into Red October (2024 Edition)

[Cody Webster]

Well, at least Bryce has turned into a vacuum at 1st

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Time for the bullpen to give up 5 more runs. Phillies maybe get one more hit the rest of the game.

 

[Svechhammer]

That’s what they employ. How many free swinging guys aren’t in their lineup? Like Schwarber & Stott? The latter which has sucked at the plate this year regardless.

So just shrug your shoulders and say you can't do anything because players can't change?

f*** that, good coaching brings out the best in everyone, sometimes necessitating a change in approach. I've never seen Topper and his staff do that, and that's damning.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Thompson will probably be sacrificed if a switch isn’t flipped soon. Move on from one or more of Stott and Marsh. Give Bohm one more year as he was great the first half of the season. Cut bait with Nick anyway you can. Get a couple guys who have good eyes and can get on base

It’s all too common for the batters to embarrass themselves in the postseason

 

[Halladay]

Nick cannot be a full time starting outfield. Hellen Keller can see that yet DD cant.

 

[Rebels57]

Legit feels like watching a funeral in real time.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Riveting stuff.

Severino and an assortment of Mets pitchers are the four horseman of the apocalypse.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They aren't a better pitching team, the rest I agree with. JT, Nick, Trea are too free swinging.

Would love to see what Sanchez and Wheeler would do facing their own lineup.

I'd like to see September Ranger against this lineup. Hell, they did in the intrasquad game the other day and he did well.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

A team that truly doesn't give a shit and just wants to go home. Braves put up more of a fight. Think about that.

I totally agree. You don't need to throw this team strikes. Was apparent from last season. Those 3 hack at everything. Time to finally figure out a platoon option for Nick.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean when you think about it, is there anyone in the lineup who has gotten noticeably better under Topper? Anyone?

Seems like the entire lineup is suffering from the same issues that plagued it 2 years ago, the same issues that led to the collapse in the World Series, the same issues that led to the collapse in the NLCS, and now is leading to a complete collapse in the NLDS.

He's not a good manager. You can't win on good vibes alone, you need to actually be able to coach and make players better.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

There's one of 5 runs the bullpen will give up.

 

[FLYguy3911]

It's like watching a crash in slow motion.

Absolutely going to piss away two great starts.

Well he put that one on a platter.

 

[Rebels57]

Great job bringing in Ruiz to face Alonso you f***ing numb skulls.

 

[Cody Webster]

It's all over

Bullpen doing wonders

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well it was already over but it's really over now.

Bullpen's ERA is impressive AF.

 

[Svechhammer]

Great job bringing in Ruiz to face Alonso you f***ing numb skulls.

Topper with another dumbass bullpen decision?

Why I never

 

[BiggE]

They’re just shooting the corpse at this point

 

[Halladay]

It's all over

Bullpen doing wonders

It was over at the 2 runs. Rob bringing in the white flag.

 

[Sombastate]

Thompson needs to go

 

[BiggE]

Can Tortorella’s horse pay Thompson a visit?

 

[Svechhammer]

Fire Topper, clean house of the entire coaching staff, DFA Castellanos, desperately try to find improvements for Bohm, Stott, and probably Marsh as well.

Do that, and then maybe the team can take the next step. As it is now, they're stuck in the mud and only sinking.

 

[Halladay]

Sanchez was at 88 pitches. Could have started the inning.
