8 for last 92 isnt gonna cut it no matter who did what in terms of getting plunked..bats froze at a bad time
This day all started with the Union choking away a lead in the final minute. It was over before it started.
It was a good, unexpected, ride. Would certainly be different if anyone but Bryce hit over .200 for the post season, but that didn't happen. Know idea how they made it as far as they did with 8 dead weights in the lineup.
That is true, but that is the margin of error against this team. Had to be near perfect. The Astros just suffocate you.I am once again here to remind you that the Phillies have had TWO shitty pitching innings in the last four games and are going to lose three of them.
Analytics should inform decisions, not make them. If it had been Sydegaard pitching that's one thing. But Wheeler is the team's ace, and he hadn't really been hit. If you can't trust that guy why do you trust anyone else?
The game hasn't really changed THAT much.
Wheeler at 100%? I don’t disagree but……
I don’t know what’s second guessing and what’s not, truthfully. The manager isn’t deciding alone, and it’s not like Wheeler wasn’t gasping for velocity in his last start. But a 3 run jack will obviously color perception versus a groundout. Maybe it was a no win. They can’t hit anyway.
