OT: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500

[FLYguy3911]

These balls sound loud from the shitter.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Moron is one strike away from getting out of the inning with no runs and then he proceeds to hang 8 straight pitches

 

[Flybynite]

He gave up 4 HR in the first inning?

jesus

*edit*

FFS they were back to back to back to back?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Said. Said.

 

[Jack Straw]

would think it won't be too long before he's back up, plus hopefully Brogdon is back from Covid soon as well as he was one of their best in the pen at the time he got covid.

Schwarber killed that one

Familia got a 1-2-3 inning.

 

[Jack Straw]

Darick Hall- lean mean hittin’ machine.

 

[DancingPanther]

Braves are winning. Shocker

 

[snoop88]

Sosa, McGwire, Bonds, Schwarber

So at what point can it officially be said that Joe Girardi was the problem?

The main problem, sure. But this is a flawed organization and team.

 

[deadhead]

It's a flawed team, but the bullpen is coming together, and someone is finally doing something right, while Knebel and Familia are overpays, Bellatti and Nelson were "finds," Appel seems to found himself, Alvarado seems to be back on track, SD is back, Brogdon is another home grown arm, and Romero and Coonrod are on their way back from rehab.

I think Thomson's patience is paying off, Stott is getting more comfortable (BABIP of .218 says he's had some bad luck), Veirling is gradually working his way into respectability, Hall is showing promise as a LH platoon bat.

However, they have to fix Castellanos.

The one untouchable in the system, other than the young arms (Painter, Abel, Brown) should be Rojas - because they're going to be stuck with two of Schwarber, Castellanos and Harper in the corners - they need the next coming of Gary Maddox in CF, and Rojas may be that player.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

While there are some weird inconsistency issues, whether it disappearing for whole games or real bad outings by the bullpen, I think Girardi was definitely one of the major issues with the team.

Also, good on Thomson to actually not let Knebel be the closer considering how bad he's been.

 

[Halladay]

They've also had a much easier schedule this past month. They are exactly half way through the season and they have the 4th easiest schedule left. If they are able to have a winning record for this next 6 to 8 weeks without Bryce, theyll be in a decent place. Though who knows when he comes back, They are 5-3 since he got hurt.

Nothing like holding a playoff spot that was just added.

Only way Philly teams can make the playoffs
