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

[Gregor Samsa]

Maybe Nick Castellanos is motivated by spite. After getting boo’d badly and muttering something he had 3 huge hits

Stott with a series changing hit and a great defensive play early after lackluster play

Turner actually taking pitches including those low ones he always chases to get on with 2 outs in the 9th

Harper breathing life in the Phillies

Regarding our bullpen, hopefully it’s just jitters. Not sure how often that pitch by Strahm is a home run. We need to rely on these guys if we want to make a deep run. Not sure if you go back to OK or Strahm on Tuesday but at the same time you want them to settle down and get through it

Olbermann might be one of the biggest lunatics on twitter which is really saying something.

There was certainly some takes in this here thread tonight

Get to game 5 for the love of god... all the money i forked over this season and post season, please. I beg of you.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Damn Philly fans in LA.

 

[Flybynite]

If this shit was Philly fans, every other fandom would be demanding a congressional investigation.

 

[Rebels57]

Damn Philly fans in LA.

Whats happening in LA?

 

[Halladay]

Whats happening in LA?

They started throwing things at Profar and Tatis. Game was delayed about 10 minutes. The Dads responded by hitting homeruns.

 

[Danko]

LA fanbase has been terrible for years but because it doesn't fit with the National TV narrative you won't hear about it.

Profar started chirping the crowd in the first and made himself a target...then he's shocked and outraged the fans give it back to him. Team loses so fans start getting angrier and throw shit at him.

I'm not, I'm slaving away at work. Some neonate has an infected bellybutton and we don't have one of the antibiotics we ordered. Super fun stuff

I came home and went right to hockey. I played at 9 and 10:50.

What was your +/-?

 

[DancingPanther]

What was your +/-?

I'd have to think about it but the first game I bodied a dude on the side boards going for a 50/50 puck with 45 more pounds on me, dug it out, made a quick outlet for the primary on the go ahead goal and also had a nice wraparound tuck before that to tie it

Second game 2 and 1 in a stress free win

 

[Phillyfan28]

21 in 67 for Schwarber. 17 in 51 for Bryce. Crazy stuff

 

[DancingPanther]

Who was the doof that was saying Harper was some spoiled brat or whatever. What was that about

 

[Halladay]

They got exactly what they needed in regards to a right handed hitter stepping up. Nick and Trea were great. Going to need at least one of them to continue to produce as it would relieve so much pressure off Schwarber and Harper. I don't expect much from JT or Bohm at this point.

Im concerned about the bullpen. That needs to be better. Just figure out a way to get a split. I'm guessing Manea and Quintana are starting, two lefties.

 

[DancingPanther]

I know we goof around about the whole Liam thing but how can you not think the celly through the net with his pops is the sickest thing ever. I'm not sure I've ever seen that kind of pure joy before.

I'll go to my grave believing it was Jojo. He's been working some never before seen voodoo.

Good morning everyone.

Yes, but have you stopped to consider what a masterful move that was by the first year manager?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Wasn’t me luckily. I don’t talk about Harper because I think the pandering is ridiculous and off-putting. He’s very good at it (and baseball) though.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Enjoy reading the rollercoaster posting from people I'm usually on the same side as sportswise. Playoff baseball is brutal.

I'm praying this doesn't go to game 5 either way, I don't think this house could contain the stress of it. Flyers' opener being right after that emotion bomb would feel a little anticlimactic too.

Wow. 0-0 Tigers/Guardians in the 9th and elite all-star closer Emmanuel Clase comes in and gives up a 3-run HR.

He gave up 5 ER, the entire season. 74.1 IP. Just gave up 3 ER.
