2024 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
It makes me wonder how focused the offense is when they know the starting pitcher is going to put them in a huge hole early. Thanks for nothing Walker. The guy has been garbage lately but they keep putting him out there.
I was at the game last Saturday and Severino was dominating the Phils. The only chance the Phils had was when the Mets, inexplicably, took him out.
Pitching Walker is conceding a game, Jeeeze, right after TT ties it.
Agree that he isn't very good, but who are you going to start in his place? Mercado? He didn't fare much better.

Dude has a career high in WHIP (1.67 to 1.54 in 2018) and OBA (opponents batting average: .379 to .357 in 2018)... why Topper continues to put him out there is beyond me. as someone said earlier, him pitching is conceding the game. his relief of Allard was a complete outlier compared to everything else he's done this year. been bad all year. last year the last half of the season he was bad as well. second quarter he looked really good, first quarter was hit or miss. dude just hasn't put it all together....
Walker should definitely miss his last start. Maybe start Allard for a couple of innings, and then use the pen.
The Phillies are about middle of the pack (a little better than ave) in Ks. Pretty close to the Yankees and Dodgers. They are 4th in OPS.
The are also winning 8-2 right now. Is it ok to make positive Phils posts around here?
Bohmer needed a few of these get right games. He's gonna be crucial to the lineup.
I love the Phillies - was at the game yesterday in hostile territory
I still just think they strike out too much
