2020 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
As the season was approaching I was ready, then the virus, I lost interest. Once they got ready to play I was "revved", bought the package, watched every inning of the first three games. Disappointed in the team's performance but it was if I set my schedule to watch the rest of the games. Now, I don't care, they made a mistake, and whether due to ignorant players they should cancel the season. Owners are groping for a few TV dollars.
Phillies vs Bluejays series postponed this weekend
Just when I thought I could watch real sports again. The Bluejays are staying in Washington for now and the Phillies may travel to NY to play the Yankees next. No players were infected but two clubhouse personnel were.
in other news the Union play tonight and the 76ers are scheduled to open this weekend from Orlando.
Also I believe Rutgers has shut down workouts after a number of players were diagnosed after attending some kind of social gathering. Sports is really a mess right now.

The Bluejays were tweeting the series was postponed around 1:30-2:00. I am not sure why the phillies website has been slow to post these postponements. If the Phillies have no additional or very limited positives through Sunday, the Phils playing the 2 games in NY makes sense. They are supposed to play Miami starting Tuesday though. They could move the 2 game Mets/Nationals series starting Tuesday to Wed and Thursday and have Marlins play 2 games against Nats on Mon and Tues. They can then have Phils and Marlins play a doubleheader to get the 3 game series in.
NBA and CFB should not be compared. NBA is in a bubble with limited interaction and no travel. CFB will be 19/20 Year olds living in dorms and apartments traveling to multiple states.
NHL and NBA are good comparisons and MLB and CFB are somewhat. However, CFB has much more close interaction between players
Although naysayers will point to nba being in their bubble and CFB players socializing.
OL
My point was that if the NBA can't pull it off even with the bubble then you can forget CFB.
what a stupid article. since the Phils are at a disadvantage, cancel the season? how does that make any sense at all. What they should do is allow the Phils to expand their roster for some amount of time in the pitching staff to make up for it. Or come up with another creative solution. Brookover appears to be as intelligent as a maybe 10 year old who takes their toys and goes home.
Brookovers is pretty much an idiot about everything I totally agree with your post
Just need to hold down the Yanks in the 7th for the win, since they're playing a doubleheader.
Well, nothing easy; Yanks score 4 so far in the bottom of the 7th, Judge with 3-run HR
11-7 with one out
Doubleheader scheduled; 7-inning games for doubleheaders this season (a rule change along with the extra innings protocol of starting in the 10th inning with a runner on second base)
Nola pitches great, could have gone into the 7th, but here comes Tommy Hunter who gives up 3 hits a run and now plunks Sanchez on the elbow. Bullpen implosion. Bases loaded now no outs.
They discussed that on the radio broadcast during the 2nd game of the doubleheader, before and after Hunter had his meltdown. Girardi has a firm policy of not pitching relievers in two games on the same day. Neris only pitched to one batter in the first game of the doubleheader, so he didn't exactly throw a lot of pitches, but Girardi doesn't seem to deviate from his policy. FWIW, LA disagrees with the policy. He said that many times in his career (i forget if he was speaking just of his pro career, or combing his amateur and pro career) he had thrown in multiple games in the same day. He feels that it's not very hard for most relievers.
Yankees not happy with fans outside of CBP. l liked the drums being played on Wednesday night.

Phillies play 2 vs the Braves today.
Vince Velasquez goes in game 1, and touted rookie Spencer Howard scheduled to start for game 2.

It is simply the policy of the network not to broadcast a game in which, two teams that nobody in America wants to see on TV play, play on their TV.
Simple really.
Lol. I can't get Pirates games here either G LuvIt is simply the policy of the network not to broadcast a game in which, two teams that nobody in America wants to see on TV play, play on their TV.

To protect local broadcasts.
I could not see the NBC sportschannel Jackets broadcast the other day on that channel for that reason. And only one of the FS Ohio channels had it (the other had the Reds). In Columbus, I get both. There's a few spots in NE Ohio that can't get those channels but are blacked out for both Jackets and Pens broadcasts anyway, due to the radius thingy.

Hope we can say the same about the Phillies bats sometime soon.
Ten games in (which is obviously a bigger chunk of a short season), and check the batting averages:
Kingery .097
McCutcheon .133
Hoskins .172
Segura .172
Realmuto is one bright spot with 4 HR, 9 RBI, and .290 average, with Haseley and Gregorius also doing well, but need much more to play winning baseball.
