2002 Flyers playoffs vibes

Execution ahead in the count is abysmal.

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.

Buddy. Every year you come in here bitching that a manager isn't a good coach. This is not football. This is not basketball. This is not hockey. He's a MANAGER not a coach.

Rob Thomson did not play above A ball in the 80s. What the hell do you want him to teach Bryce Harper about hitting against guys throwing 100 in 2024?

The bottom of the Mets lineup are outhiting our “stars” right now.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Outside of the lead off HR and the 9th inning when the game was out of reach, it’s been what, 13 innings without a run and only a few base runners?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The bottom of the Mets lineup are outhiting our “stars” right now.

Seems oddly familiar.

 

[Hanover Fist]

2 playoff games and only 5 frigging hits… laughable

 

[Halladay]

Soto is the only way to negate this series.

lol

That's like saying the struggles of the Eagles can't be on Siriani because there are offensive and defensive coordinators. Cmon man, that argument is a f***ing joke. The hitting coach answers to Topper. The pitching coach answers to Topper. If they can't make things work, its on Topper to fix them.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

This had better not work. I'm even confusing myself.

 

[Chinatown88]

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT EXIT VELOCITY AT THIS POINT. GET A f***ING HIT INSTEAD OF SWINGING YOUR HARDEST AT EVERY PITCH.

 

[Cody Webster]

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

Very true

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

There's the one hit for the rest of the game for the Phillies.

 

[Sombastate]

Rojas has been our best player, can manufacture runs on the bases, and is great defensively. So let’s pinch hit him

 

[GKJ]

DINGER

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Life

 

[Svechhammer]

Well Harper makes it interesting

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Well...

Consider me f***ing shocked.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It's bad that i'm not even excited.

"He should have hit a 5 run homer."- WIP Caller

 

[Magua]

Derp derp Harper sucks derpy derpy.

 

[Cody Webster]

Hey now

 

[Halladay]

Well I like that, shouldn't have pitched Ruiz there.

 

[GKJ]

DINGERS

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

What a world.

 

[Chinatown88]

This fricking team

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Momentum swinging in a different direction now.
