OT: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500

[philly_28]

People talking about moving JT and calling Nola trash is a good sign to be leaving this thread again for the time being.

Still cant believe he yanked Wheeler at 70 pitches for Alvarado who has been ass in the World Series. Incredible.

 

[Halladay]

They should try to load manage Nola next year if they can. Maybe have him skip a start here and there.

I'm not sure why some people expect top of the rotation guys to toss up 6+ scoreless innings every outing in the playoffs. Hits and runs are going to happen especially if a team is seeing a pitcher for the second time in a series.

This fanbase views everything through a football lens. Guys have to be consistently good every time out or they will hear about it.

The Phillies had the opportunity with Framber last night. He was gettable at times. They just didn't get it done. Same with Verlander in game 5.

Look, I haven’t spent my summers watching every game during the dog days of summer over the last 11 years and I’m not alone in that but those people that are saying those things just haven’t realized that baseball has changed.

It’s no longer 2011 where you had Halladay throwing 9 CG and Lee with 6 (and 6 shutouts).

Pedro said earlier in the series he would have loved to pitch in today’s day in age with tracking pitches so that they could pull him at the right time.

They’ll catch up eventually but then again “back in my day I had to go to school in the snow up hill both ways!” So maybe not.

It’s a single person that also claims that he would rather win one Cup then multiple so… don’t read too much into it.

And there were hungry wolves prowling! Don't forget about the wolves!

Yeah that was mind blowing

 

[Halladay]

No pitcher this world series pitched 7 innings. Javier could have and Framber went into the 7th game 2. last year Fried was the only pitcher to go 6 innings.

Disappointing but it was still a good run. The better team won and that's how it usually goes in a 7 game series.

Not sure where this team goes from here but they have some decision to make.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We somehow got the wrong directions to the road to .500.

New thread. Magical run and it brought baseball back to the city and for that I am thankful.
