2024 Phillies Thread

[Grant Green]

Now that wasn’t my intent. But many of us didn’t expect the season to rest on Ranger’s shoulders so soon.

Honestly, I have no idea how ranger will fare. I'm just trying to inject some optimism in the sea of despair that this thread has become.

[RyanSnyder]

Welp, here we go…

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Bohm…. sigh

 

[Relayer]

 

[Erial_Lion]

doesn’t pay to lock up the 1 or 2 seeds…. The byes make you lose any type of momentum you might have had. The dodgers are grim right now too

The bye at last guarantees that you reach this stage. Don't get it, and you could already be sitting at home.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The Fightins had a number of injuries in September. I thought a bye would benefit them. Hopefully, they figure things out today.

 

[Grant Green]

Bohm…. sigh

Yeah, because Sosa is such a better option....sigh.

 

[Pocono Lion]

Phils fouling pitches off they would typically hit hard. Both Schwarber and Harper had meatballs that they fouled back.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

The only reason I’m sitting here is I don’t know why. Painful

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Ranger!

 

[rudedude]

Are the bats still at the friggin’ hotel? Pathetic exhibition of non hitting. Welcome to Cancun Phillies!

 

[CoolBean]

Doing good so far, bases loaded every inning. It's like magic.
0-0-0, time to change that

 

[Pocono Lion]

Phils are allergic to getting the run home from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Love ranger so much.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

It's like magic

damn funny

 

[Relayer]

Using Estevez in a 6-2 game last night was just plain stupid, 26 pitches. They will need everyone tonight.

 

[Colt2169]

This team just strikes out too much - I don’t care where they finished in regular season - too many non-contact at bats with guys on base

 

[CoolBean]

Phillies hitters just suck, 0 and forever RISP

 

[rudedude]

Lead off double and squadooch! Time for the bullpen to implode now.

 

[Relayer]

...and they swing at so many bad pitches. Should have a bunch more walks. I will be shocked if they win this game.

Mets or Phillies?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Hoffman having an inauspicious start to the bottom of the 6th. Single, wild pitch, hit a batter. Nobody out for the Mets.

Edit: another wild pitch makes it 2nd & 3rd with no out for the Mets.

Edit: And then a walk to load the bases ... still no out for the Mets.

Edit: Grounder to SS with the infield in, and Turner throws out a Met at home. Topper is headed out to replace Hoffman, and he brings in Estevez. Still bases loaded, now 1 out, and Fightins with a 1-0 lead.

 

[Relayer]

Hoffman is cooked.

 

[CoolBean]

Hoffman just wanted to go home

3.75 WHIP, 40.5 ERA

 

[rudedude]

Current state of the Phillies

 

[WestSideLion]

What in the world happened to Hoffman? Is he the new Kimbrel? He’s going to blow two good starts in this series.

 

[NoSoup4U]

What the hell if you dont have confidence in your stuff to throw the ball 60 ft get the F out of there and find someone that will throw damn strikes

WTF is it with these guys ???

 

[Colt2169]

...and they swing at so many bad pitches. Should have a bunch more walks. I will be shocked if they win this game.

It’s really unbelievable - pitchers know they don’t have to throw a strike to get them out.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

And Estevez gives up a grand slam to the 1st batter he faces. Mets up 4-1. Good grief

 

[Nitt1300]

wait til next year

 

[WestSideLion]

Wow. What a way to go out.

 

[CoolBean]

Good night folks, see you in cabo

Good call!

Might have been better going for the double play and letting the tieing run score. Could have walker Lindor and pitched to someone else.

BTW, why did Estevez have to throw 26 pitches in the 8th inning last night trailing 6-2?

Because Thomson is a dumb a**

[ILLINOISLION]

I don’t get playing 162 games then having short best of 3’s and best of 5’s.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Phils get 2 on in the top of the 9th, but can't plate them, as Scwarber strikes out for the final out.

Final: 4-1, Mets
