Yeah, I would be shocked if he is booed.
2024 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
It will be loud and long and I’m sure there will be a video ending with the bat spike. Rhys is going to feel the love, zero doubt.
They better give him a standing O. I have tickets for the third game of that series. Wish I had them for game one. I’ll still be standing though.
Fair point. No way that dugout would appreciate that.
The good news: Phils offense collected 8 hits and 3 walks
The bad news: 0 runs, 13 Ks, 0-8 RISP, 8 LOB, 3 GIDP
The bad news: 0 runs, 13 Ks, 0-8 RISP, 8 LOB, 3 GIDP
Is JT OK? Was only following gamecast and saw he was replaced for injury after wild pitch. Did not see video.
Better than I expected after those first few innings. Hopefully it was more weather related than anything else with his velo. They have been working on the mound this whole game.
Per the radio postgame show, every pitcher (Phils & Cards) in today's game experienced velocity that was a few mph below their norm. The conditions were pretty bad, and with mud caked to their cleats the pitchers couldn't get as much into their throws.
Ricky Bo pretty much said the same in the TV postgame show:
Never been a fan of alternative uniforms, particularly in baseball.
There are games you can’t wait to get back on the field to get the bad taste out of your mouth. That’s today after that debacle last night. That game last night needs to be flushed.
They're the ugliest uniforms I've ever seen.
Last night Phillies perspective - "We were mostly inept and could've won if we hadn't played like a small town American Legion team."
Pirates perspective - "The Phillies were struggling and we didn't take advantage. We should have put 10 runs on the board."
Both are correct.

Both are correct.

They look like they're just going thru the motions. Let's say I'm not a fan of Thompson.
It’s now official but what we all knew. Strider to miss remainder of year. Game changer given that I can’t believe Sale can stay healthy. Phillies let one slip last year, everything is in front of them now and they need to capitalize.
Go get them boys.
Go get them boys.
Losing Strider for the season certainly is significant. But don't forget the Braves won a division title in 2021 without Acuna for half the season.
Their lineup is other worldly so they will still be formidable for sure. But lineup and no Strider versus lineup with Strider are obviously night and day different. They don’t scare anyone in a short series pitching wise.
#1’s are like elite QB’s. When the 1 is gone, you ask everyone to step up. That’s really tough and Atlanta doesn’t have an answer. Sale was a 1 but you can’t expect that now. The rest of their rotation, no way.
I don’t have to tell you any of this, you already know. But when you look for advantages, the Phillies just got the biggest advantage against the Braves that you can hope for. They need to do something with it
