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

[Rebels57]

Benching Marsh, their only hitter worth a damn, is a f***ing joke.

Meanwhile, Castellanos never gets a game off.

Rob is a coward. Nick should only a platoon player at best. His past 2 seasons have shown this. He will continue to trot him out there like he did Kimbre though.

 

[Rebels57]

Ive had enough Stubbs forever too

“RBI Guy.”

“Also, gorgeous weather for a 5 mile run.”

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Another squandered opportunity by this offense.

 

[DancingPanther]

Schwarber has always been a singles guy.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Harper is absolutely horrendous right now.

 

[DancingPanther]

Harper absolutely lost in the sauce up there. Worst AB I've seen from him in ages

Harper is absolutely horrendous right now.

He was pretty locked yesterday. Hit the ball on the screws each time up and was taking good pitches. Thought it was a sign of a slump buster

Another squandered opportunity by this offense.

Hold my beer

Woof. Let Hernandez off the hook too.

 

[wankstifier]

Can Castellanos just step into the strike zone here?

 

[Magua]

Better drive it in after Merrifield didn’t go on that ball to the backstop.

Castellanos is up so….

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I was just waiting for them to f*** that up to be honest.

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh my God he did a thing!

 

[DancingPanther]

At least Merrifield broke home on that one! I've always been a believer in Nick

 

[Magua]

I feel like Castellanos’ confidence in himself is Kelly Oubre level after going 1/17.

 

[wankstifier]

Never in doubt. Bat him 4th

“RBI Guy.”

“Also, gorgeous weather for a 5 mile run.”

The Pirates fear the RBI Guy

Baggy too. I thought something was off.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

@Hollywood Cannon

They also looked more like cream instead of piss yellow. I hope they actually did change them as I'd like to get a Harper one. Then again, if they don't it's probably saving me from myself as I usually get exactly one use out of white shirts.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Taking Brogden out of the equation their bullpen has settled in nicely so far. It probably doesn’t help how many close scored games their offense has been keeping them in so far.

 

[Rebels57]

You were saying?

This is what I do. You are all witnesses.

Castellanos walking us off right into WWIII is too perfect.

Nick fits right in.

The 1980 World Series: The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals 4-to-2: Double-dip recession

As Fed Chairman Paul Volcker was fighting stubborn inflation with aggressive interest-rate hikes, the US economy dipped into a brief recession, which was then followed by a swift recovery. That recovery was then followed by a deep recession as businesses adjusted to the sky-high interest rates, which peaked at nearly 20%.

The 2008 World Series: The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-to-1: The Great Financial Crisis

An ongoing housing crisis morphed into a financial panic as banks became insolvent due to their exposure to subprime mortgage loans. The pain soon spread to automakers who had too much debt and were impacted by a pullback in buying by consumers.

"From World War I to the Great Depression to the financial crisis, all took place after a team from the City of Brotherly Love won it all.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Off to a great start at the plate again.

wasn't the plan a couple of years back to move JT to first?
