Well at least Hector will not be available this evening.

Also: the video evidence was indisputable. It was not a Homerun

 

[PSURAHJ]

Yesterday was the first day that the Phillies, Sixers and Flyers all won on the same day since April 11, 2012

One pitcher, Nola, who is a #3 on a quality pitching staff? Corner infielders who are defensive liabilities and will turn out to be average players at best?
Those GMs have produced no outfielders, no catching, no pitching, and less than average infielders.


The moral of the story is keep Ivy League people as far away from your baseball organization as humanly possible. 🤨

Agree with most of your points, but Nola IMO is definitely a #1 starter and one of the better ones.

Just tonight, he pitched out of trouble in the 6th that few on the current staff could have/would have done.

And the Phillies bullpen immediately starts crapping the bed. hale —— bum.

 

[fkkkjm]

And now a home run to below the Mendoza line Jackie Bradley - jeeze louise

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

The nightmares are going to return. This bullpen is still a huge pile of bullshit.

 

[WaylonJ]

Coonrod is probably the best out there right now. One bad outing that I remember in the past month. The others are a grenade with the pin pulled. Not delighted when he was subbed for Brogdon last night but it worked out tonight, big picture-wise. Guess it'll be Hector again tomorrow. Or who knows.

Guys used to hang two or three inning saves on teams all the time. Now Coonrod struck out the side last night on 11 pitches and came out. I'm sure he was exhausted.

But nice effort tonight and back to level.

The Phils win 5-4. They had four hits with three of those coming in the first inning when they scored all five runs. One hit over the last eight innings and they still managed to win. I can't believe I'm writing this but good job by the bullpen.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

7 straight 1-run games, as the Phils win, 5-4.

Phillies Sign Ruben Tejada

Sweep sweep! Wheeler with the CG shutout.

Great 4 game sweep against a brewers team which was 17-11 before playing us. Phillies didn’t hit much, but somehow scored runs critical times.

 

[Rick76]

Well, just like I said, Cutch is over the hill, the bullpen is terrible, the starters are erratic, the outfielders can't hit, and Bohm makes too many mistakes at 3rd. Then we sweep a team with one of the best records in the NL. Please disregard all future posts of mine. I'm afraid I've got another case of terminal 1964itis.

 

[WaylonJ]

Playoff porch!

Great sweep of a good contender. No gripe today. Wheeler has been on.

 

[kgilbert78]

Sweep sweep! Wheeler with the CG shutout.

That's one way to avoid bullpen problems....

 

[gamblepsu]

I like that Giradi lets them finish.

 

[royboy]

I like that Giradi lets them finish.

What efficient work by Wheeler -- 118 pitches total, 80 of which were strikes. 3 hits given up and no walks.

Both Nola and Wheeler have very good strikeout/walks numbers. Drives me nuts when some of the guys out of the bullpen come in and walk one or two batters right away.

Nice to see Eflin get to the plate before he steps on the mound.

Herrera HR

[rudedude]

Someone needs to beat the crap out of the a-hole screaming every time Velasquez starts to throw an pitch. Bad enough with that stupid tomahawk chop crap.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

VV doing well through 2 innings, as the Phils lead 3-0. He's thrown 41 pitches, so it doesn't appear he'll be going 9 innings. Hopefully, he can keep this going through 5 or 6.

 

[Relayer]

Neris implodes again, he will never be a top closer. Had this in the bag

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Neris sucks. He gets 2 out in the bottom of the 9th (Phils leading 3-1), mostly with his splitter. Then he walks a man, and then Sandavol hits a pinch-hit HR to tie it up. Neris really missed his location on the fastball to Sandavol.

 

[rudedude]

This is Realmuto’s Neris face

 

[rudedude]

You just can’t make this crap up. Go up by three top of 12 and now facing a loss in the bottom. Pitching absolutely blows

 

[rudedude]

And right on cue Matt Moore surrenders the winning run. What a shitshow of a game.

 

[Rick76]

Where's Lights Out Lidge when we need him.

 

[WaylonJ]

I'd take Wayne Gomes at this point. The bullpen is so bad, so horrible if you were up 20-0 I wouldn't count it.

Tonight was unreal. The team, I reiterate, is shit. Never so pissed off. I know, nobody cares how angry you or I get.

This team is trashola. Tonight tells you all you need to know.

 

[WaylonJ]

On a given night you better get 18 or 20 runs as a Phila fan. This bullpen is so irretrievably dogshit I don't even know what it could possibly look like from here. The starters can't go 14 inn every night.

Better start by getting rid of Neris. This is at least the 3rd year he’s blowing saves left and right as the closer. NOTE TO THE FRONT OFFICE AND MANAGER: NERIS IS NOT A CLOSER!!!!!

[cjflyfish]

What a psychological killer Neris has become for the team. Here they are gutting out wins...get on a roll. Velasquez pitches a good game. Mid relievers do their job....and Neris brings all that effort down in the blink of an eye. Losses like that make wins the next day that much tougher.
