OT: Philadelphia Phillies: Feels Like Another Listless Regular Season

[Kermit the Prog]

Who's Ron Reed?

Super effective middle reliever for the Phillies in the mid-70s - early 80s. Spent eight years with the team. One of those guys who could give you multiple-inning saves and/or take the hill in the fourth and finish the game for the beleaguered starter. Tall. Played two seasons in the NBA, too.

They do know they do not have to add someone to the wall every year right?

Apparently, I'm going in next year. Just had to pay the application fee.

Thanks. Sounds like a shoo-in for the wall

Ump f***ed up a pitch, called it a strike when it should have been ball 4 on a 3-0 count, and Harper made him eat it on the next pitch. Tie game.

 

[Sombastate]

It was so clearly a ball, too. CLEARLY.

Good for Harper

Like, in the end, it greatly benefited the Phillies, but f*** me I would of called that a ball.

ROFL. This ump....first pitch to Rhys was way inside and called a strike. Pitch right down the middle which should have been strike 3 was somehow called a ball

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

This game is ridiculous.

 

[Jack Straw]

Whew.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

14 out of 16….

 

[Halladay]

Won another series.

Can't wait for the obstruction breakdown. I haven't seen the play yet

It was pretty clear that the SS had no real chance to field the ball. He dove for it anyway and interfered with Hoskins in the process.

 

[Jack Straw]

This is kind of a weird explanation. They're saying the fielder had a chance to field the ball, didn't, and then failed to get out of the way of the runner. Doesn't sound at all like what actually happened.

I don't get how you can look at the fielder, when he made contact with Hoskins and say "WELL HE HAD A CHANCE TO FIELD IT. SHOULDA MOVED OUT THE WAY"

He makes contact with Hoskins when he's diving. The argument/question should be. He dove at something he had absolutely *ZERO* chance of getting to unless he was ****ing Superman. So the argument should have been obstruction from that standpoint IMO.

Hope they go out and get a couple solid bullpen pieces. Even another starter possibly. Cant keep wasting Harper, JT, and Whelers prime years. Time for Middleton to step up and walk the walk.

While I agree..they really don't have anything on the farm they can part with to get quality arms

 

[FLYguy3911]

Phillies are 2nd in starters WAR in the entire league.

They may need to add an arm if and when someone goes down because there's not much depth in the upper minors but cross that bridge when you get to it. They will have to add bullpen arms but that is every playoff chasing team really.

 

[montreal]

While I agree..they really don't have anything on the farm they can part with to get quality arms

it's at the point they may need to, one of Painter/Abel plus one of the young catchers no named O'Hoppe, throw in some of Bohm, Moniak, etc.. in a quantity for quality kind of trade. Unless they think they can get the parts they need by next season, you kind of have to go for it now.

 

[Jack Straw]

Nola is absolutely dealing

 

[DancingPanther]

Wow I can't believe today's scrub blew the save. If you're excited about this team I'm sorry

 

[FLYguy3911]

Fletcher would have traded Nola after last year.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Good shit by Hoskins.

Damn it let people have hope after the worst winter of hockey in my life lol
