Same. Didn’t even get through a full frame before Earl Weaver blew a gasket & got himself tossed from the game.

That's when I stopped caring/watching. Things were starting to teeter at that point and Cutch going down killed it for me. Damn good player, hopefully he bounces back. No bigger waste of life than watching a hopeless baseball team.season pretty much halted really once they lost Cutch
Bye bye 2019 MLB season. Pretty much a disaster of a season based on all the hype going into it for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Odds Kapler is ousted?
I would like Franco to not come back next year. Knapp too
So is Joe Maddon coming to save our asses or what?
This season seemed to fly by. I remember the opening Sunday night game against the Braves and that seems so recent. Going to be an active offseason for sure.
I made a remark about this today to my wife.
It seemed to be the fastest season of any sport that I can ever remember.
Did she make a joke about how the season isn't the only thing that finishes too fast?
Halladay also had 1/3 of an inning lead on Kershaw with one fewer start.
233.2 innings in 32 starts. Check out the leaderboard in 2019. Strikeouts are awesome, but pitching for weak contact outs allows for more efficiency in eating innings.
Though, maybe hitters are more patient now? Haven’t taken a look.

Strikeouts for pitchers are like really really important. You could probably do a reasonable list of all the pitching prospects in baseball just by their strikeout rates.
It's not hyperbole to suggest that a 33-year-old pitcher who strikes out 9 guys per game is going to last longer than a 23-year-old who strikes out 5 guys a game.
if they bring gabe back for a third year, it will be no different even if we had more talent, he would still do the same things that's been failing this team for the last 2 years by checking his computers, telling players to pitch their way and not to their players strengths, favoring vets than young players, sound familar aka dave hakstol?
No manager can over come a completley new roster, the loss of 4 key bullpen arms, the loss of a lead off hitter, and only one good SP who himself had a down year.
If they can bring in a more experienced manager...do it. But this idea that this team would be a world series contender if not for Gabe is ridiculous. If they dont upgrade the pitching and organizational depth, the manager wont matter.
tell that to the yankees and brewers, they lost key pieces and other players stepped up, that's on the manager because of the coaches he brought in, he's responsable for that.
