2023 Phillies Thread

Yeah, the Inky story has the entire clip, and maybe it's floating around elsewhere. The Inky story had it, but their paywall can be tough to get around sometimes.

yeah, heard it this morning on either local philly nbc outlet or mlb's quick pitch segment.

The Inquirer article has a Phillies tweet. I'm linking that below:

Harpers expression and body language getting up from his inside the Parker was great

That’s worse than getting coal.

And Trea to boot!!

Was pumped to see Trea get the winner last night.

 

[RyanSnyder]

I was worried when he got hit by the ball last night. I was surprised he stayed in initially.

 

[rudedude]

Lorenzen!!! Kind of fell off since the no hitter. It is getting silly with falling behind early by a bunch of runs.

 

[rudedude]

And Harper says “F’ that lead”!!! Wow he is hot as a pistol!

 

[LionsAndBears]

I don't know what it is about baseball. I'm very anti-superstition with all things but baseball. At the beginning of the 9th I had this strong feeling we were gonna comeback but I didn't dare say it out loud.

Boom goes the dynamite!

Why oh why not have Rojas steal second earlier? Waited until 2 outs, dumb strategy.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kimbrel is attempting to spoil a good come-back story in this game. smh

 

[rudedude]

Phillies blew it in the bottom of the ninth by not getting Rojas into scoring position with less than two outs.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

disappointing that they weren't able to get the W, after tying it with 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th.

Phillies Acquire Brewer Hicklen From Royals

The Royals announced that outfielder Brewer Hicklen has been traded to the Phillies. The return on the deal wasn't listed, …

Kimbrel has proven unworthy of being trusted in those situations. His control is abysmal. I want no part of him come the postseason.

He was excellent for most of the season. Of late, he's been a high wire act, which doesn't always end well for the Phillies. We'll see how things go for him in the next month, but if Alverez works himself back to form, I suspect we'll see less of Kimbrel in the postseason.

The problem with control issues is that they get between your ears and are hard to fix in season.

Gee remember Brad Lidge? He was a baseball version of a cardiac cath!!

This was before Wednesday's game. Schwarber had another HR in Wednesday's game.

Schwarbs is a riddle. He’s a .190 lead off hitter. But he has 40 HRs and 80+ RBIs. But he only has about as many other hits as HRs. But he draws a lot of walks. But he has a -0.7 WAR on the season. Crazy set of contradictions.

Your last sentence is a great description of Schwarber. There is data (some that you provided) that can be used to advance almost any argument for or against Schwarber, for or against him leading off, etc. I've listened to some sports talk out of Philadelphia in recent weeks, and Schwarber is a frequent discussion point, and fans and hosts are all over the place with regards to him.

Guys are you loving the big man in the front row with the phanatic hard hat.

 

[rudedude]

And Castellanos hits another one out so a new record is in place until the next August homer.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Had to know, now I do

And Marsh sets a new record with another bomb!
