Great post.

I like the post offering data and context, but that March number is the minute sample size of three games. Stott did struggle it seemed for the balance of the year. It’s almost as if he had a sophomore slump in his third full season.

With Ranger pitching game 4, tomorrow is a must win.

My sphincter got quite a workout watching that game.

It’s likely we would have needed a tractor to pull a toothpick out of your ***.

One of the wildest games, regular season or playoffs I have ever seen in 60 years.

I said the same thing! Started following the Phillies in 63 at age 6. Lucky enough to be there last night with my son.

we'll give you a night to recover your voice, deal with your family, contact recruits, etc. But as I mentioned above in a prior post, we'd love to hear details about what it was like sitting in CBP during that roller coaster of a game.

There were many very cool and LOUD parts but the most disappointing was the Phillies are using “Make some Noise” in a too familiar and irritating voice. Lol.

Phillies win 5-3 tonight

Who’s pitching for the Mets? Isn’t it their 1?

I feel like Topper is overthinking that move.

[Grant Green]

LFG! Phils need to build on the momentum of G2 and keep the bats alive.

 

[Relayer]

I feel like Topper is overthinking that move.

Topper overthinks a lot of moves.

 

[Grant Green]

Topper overthinks a lot of moves.

I get the wide arm angle LHP thing, but Stott has 2 hits and 2 BBs in 8 PAs vs Manea. Does Thompson know this? It's easy to google.

 

[LionJim]

So Jesse Orosco is still pitching?

 

[CoolBean]

Still 2 hits after long time?

 

[LionsAndBears]

I can't recall a time when this set of Phillies players made a pitcher wear himself out. Too many early swings and too many swings at balls out of the strike zone. Their approach at the plate is lacking.

 

[WestSideLion]

Welp. Their backs are against the wall tomorrow against a top lefty. Based on this Phillies team’s history, that’s not a good matchup.

They brought this on themselves. Topper putting Alvarado in there was akin to giving up at 4-0.

 

[jp3272]

Why use Estevez there?

 

[LB99]

That stings. They needed that game. Bad time of the year for the bats to go cold. Not sure what the solution is in the offseason, but this lineup is boom or bust at the plate.

They’ve been dead offensively since the All Star Break. This isn’t new. It’s who they’ve been for 3 months.

I saw that Ranger is slated to pitch tomorrow. @Grant Green , time to see if you’re right about him being a good #4 for the playoffs.

We’ll find out what kind of veteran moxie this team has.
