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

[PALE PWNR]

Why is Trout batting lead off?

 

[PALE PWNR]

WTF you doing Rojas

 

[trostol]

this Tucker dude looks straight out of the 80's lol

Can’t help but laugh at Castellanos.

Phillies Wins Above Average by position
Best to Worst
SP (+2.9, 2nd MLB)
3B (+0.9 2nd MLB)
SS (+0.9 3rd MLB)
LF (+0.5 4th MLB)
CF (+0.4 3rd MLB)
1B (+0.4 4th MLB)
C (0.0 18th MLB)
2B (-0.2 16th MLB)
RF (-1.1 30th MLB)
RP (-1.6 26th MLB)

Fangraphs has Castellanos at a -1.0 WAR (worst of any position player).

Phillies just scored a run with Turner on 1st and Schwarber on 3rd with 1-out after the pitcher threw to first base three times trying to pick-off Turner and got called for a disengagement violation/balk which advanced both runners so Schwarber scored.

You can throw over to first twice, but on the third attempt if you don't successfully pick-off the runner it's a balk.

eh...not sure i like that really

Sanchez hasn't been as good this season so far. Hopefully Orion can bail him out here.

 

[Rebels57]

Kerkering failed to get it done. Still not sold on him yet. Kids still raw though.

 

[Rebels57]

Topper bringing Seranthony into a tied game in the 7th. Im sure this will end well.

He's been one of the better back end guys in the league. Shaky tonight though obviously.

Underlyings also paint a promising picture

Difference has been walks thus far. He didn't walk a soul last year. 4 walks/9 this season, 1.5 last year. Once/if he pulls those walks back down he'll be money

 

[Rebels57]

Surprise surprise, Seranthony allowed 2 runs. Could see that wild pitch coming from 1000 miles away. What an absolute f***ing bum. I think that pushes his ERA over 10.00 on the season.

 

[trostol]

i'm not sure what just happened lol

 

[Rebels57]

i'm not sure what just happened lol

The dynamic duo of Dominguez and Stubbs happened.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Seranthany needs to be sent down

 

[trostol]

Rojas looks clueless at the plate

 

[Rebels57]

Marsh fails to deliver in both the 7th and the 9th. Seranthony with another L.

 

[trostol]

Ricky Bo always looks pissed off lol

I was near Baltimore for work yesterday and decided to stay for the Orioles game. There’s just never a bad time in that ballpark. I’ve been to Wrigley and Fenway and Oracle. Camden Yards is still the best place to see a game. I’d take PNC Park over the famous ones every time too.

Clarke Schmidt’s Kunckle Curve is nasty in person.

Get your best hitters in the 1-2 spots it's some advanced metrics thing.

Dude is killing it this year. Glad I took the chance on him for Fantasy Baseball.

Camden Yards, PNC, Great American (slightly biased) are great places to see a game along with the Bank.

I haven’t been to GAB yet, but heard good things. I’m headed out there for the first time in August. Going with a buddy who somehow grew up a giant Reds, Rams, and Nets fan.

Friend is like me.... Reds, Broncos, Flyers.... no basketball team so Sixers get my attention when I watch.



Auto Merge struck again...
I need to ask something is 8 HR and 18 SB good for the month of April?

Was it particular athletes that hooked you? Eric Davis and Eric Dickerson got him as a tiny kid and I understood that completely. Those were top of the world athletes. But I always laugh at him because his Nets fandom exists because he could go to games for less than $5, so he just kept going.

Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan for the Reds.
Gradishar, Tommy Jackson for the Broncos.

Moose and Ed VanImpe... for the Flyers.


And yes the Reds will be seeing a spike in Fandom with Elly DeLaCruz.

I went to a Nets/Clippers game in the late 90’s or so. The toilet bowl of toilet bowls.
