2023 Phillies Thread

[LionJim]

A lot of Phillies apparel on the Rehoboth Beaxh boardwalk today.

 

[psuro]

Chicks dig the long ball…

That was something Tiger Woods was also known to say....

 

[Colt2169]

8-10 last time anyone said anything. That was last offseason.

Wow
Too many for sure at his age

smh. And I liked Jimmy Eat World

[WestSideLion]

Shameful.

 

[Rick76]

All the pressure is on the snakes for this afternoon's game. They have to win at least two out of three at home to have any sort of chance. Winning back in Philly will be next to impossible for the snakes. Our guys should be loose.

There’s always the Ranger Danger dynamic, but the Phillies should have a decided pitching advantage in the games in AZ.

That bodes well given how the lineup is smacking the ball.

agreed. Ranger can drive the opposing batters crazy, or he can drive Phillies fans crazy. You're never quite sure which Ranger will be on the mound.

The DBacks pitching is also questionable after their two top starters.

Basically, I have more uncertainty about this game than the prior two.

@RyanSnyder -- I was pretty surprised when the DJ played this song at the wedding I attended on Saturday evening. But it was quite a hit with the bride's family and friends.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

LOL, these fans are crazy

 

[manatree]

LOL, these fans are crazy

On Tuesday, I think the tickets were as low as $20 and I thought this might happen.

 

[Grant Green]

Let's go Phils!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Grant Green]

Atmosphere in Arizona is like a regular season game. They know that they are allowed to stand and cheer right?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I wasn't expecting a pitching dual in today's game.

The Phightins are making Brandon Pfaadt look like Cy Young.

 

[LionJim]

I cringe when I see slo-no video of a pitcher throwing a fastball, how the guy’s arm doesn’t twist off is beyond me.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

smh

So is the umpire with some of the outside of the strike zone strike calls

 

[NittPicker]

I was hoping the Phils were past the point where they make mediocre pitchers look like all-stars.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

yeah, he's not having a stellar game. At least his inconsistency seems to be pretty balanced between both teams.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Phightins pull Ranger in the bottom of the 6th, with 1 out and Marte on 3rd. Hoffman is coming in.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

And Hoffman with a K and a ground out to Turner to get out of the inning. Scoreless thru 6.

 

[rudedude]

Harper scores on a wild pitch, Phightins up 1-0 going to bottom of 7th.

 

[Relayer]

I would say the Kerkering experiment is done for the post season.

 

[rudedude]

Don’t understand why you don’t trot out Hoffman for another inning.

 

[Relayer]

Thankfully Avarado only threw 3 pitches and should be ready for the 8th.

 

[Relayer]

The home plate ump has been so bad for both teams.

 

[BW Lion]

It’s hard to win with just 3 hits

 

[rudedude]

He is awful and the first base ump too as he totally blew a swing call that gave the Dbacks life

It did work out though as Turner threw out the runner at home. So instead of first and third, it was only first and second. Still, the umps were brutal

 

[yboby]

Pathetic offensive performance. No way that rookie Brandon Pfaadt with his 5.72 ERA should have been able to shut out the Phillies over six innings. That's where the game was lost.

This is who the Phillies are. Feast (home runs) or famine. Nobody should be surprised. The good news is that Ranger pitched well. That’s a big plus if they need him in a game 7.

I think Arizona wins tomorrow facing Walker. So a lot falls on Wheeler in game 5.

 

[Relayer]

How does this guy get a job in a huge post-season game?

Thompson said in his post game PC that Sanchez is starting tomorrow.

 

[PSUJam]

By default I'll post this here.

Got it. That’s good news. My aunt had told me she heard Walker.
