  1. Well he sucked in ST before he took it off.
  2. It is just sad watching Buxton keep getting suckered on the way out of the zone low and outside slider. Over and over and over. It never even starts in the zone. He must tell himself repeatedly to not go for it. And then still does. It is like an automatic strikeout with two strikes on him for the pitcher. And every pitcher knows it. Just sad. And with bases loaded killer Lewis coming up on the walk. Damn.
  3. And having him back will only make the mocking more massive.
  4. I like the knife on the tree part, whatever and however you carve it up.
  5. Who needs more pitching when we have discovered Wallner’s secret weapon?!?!
  6. And that’s a list that is both virtually and literally impossible to get on these days!
  7. Timing. 15-2 against the Mets. Great shape. Yup.
  8. There goes our run differential. Best pen in MLB. I thought we got rid of Jackson. Maybe just changed name to Stewart?
  9. The best move they could make is just DFA Theilbar. It is pathetic that they keep throwing him out there. They should have done it in ST.
  10. People may laugh, but you are right. You can never have enough elite arms in the pen. And Duran is not reliable as you need to make the run for the trophy.
  11. Duran has become the Lopez of the pen. The expectation is there for excellence, but he just can't live up to the consistent performance. And it seems so many, not just the Phillies, make contact against him now. Even his high speed fastballs. Rarely does he have a clean inning. Someone always seems to make contact, if not all the hitters. We had the same opportunity, and we gave it to Jeffers, and the Phillies had Marsh. Damn. These last 3 series have been telling for being able to perform in close games. We were really rolling before Reese, Correa, and Miranda all went out at the same time. Plan Bs just can't quite do it.
  12. Jeffers is best to just hope for a walk these days, especially with the guy pitching and he has a strike to give at 3-1. He has got to be smarter than that. A one month wonder this year. Kinda sad. What a wasted opportunity.
  13. SNOWPIERCER! Time to get back on the train.......
  14. The bullpen gave up 11 runs in the last two games. All in 5 innings. Granted 2 of those innings were fake baseball, and 3 unearned as it goes.
  15. Pinch hitting an 0-22, now 0-23 pinch hitter doesn't help, eh? Jax giving up an 0-2 two run homer is on Jax, though.
  16. How does a manager managing to lose, ever win? 1-4 out of the last 5. Three game losing streak. Hello Phillies.
  17. My contention is that you play to the game. In the 7th, it makes no difference what happened in the first 6. And Ryan held the lead in his last inning pitched. It is now a 3 inning game and you were spotted one run. 5-4. 9-8. 1-0. It matters none. But you know that.
  18. Damn Joe Ryan. He let the bullpen give up another homerun.
  19. So your starter goes 6 full, leaves with a one run lead and the bullpen only needs 9 outs, and it is all on the starter. He gives the team the lead, holds the lead in the last inning pitched, and it is on him when he is not even in the game, and left with a one run lead with 3 innings to go. I would say it is on the last three batters of the 8th inning. That was pathetic. And Baldelli bashing his head against the proverbial wall continuing to pinch hit Margot, now 0-23. Way to go Rocco. Living up to your nickname. Jeffers is about worthless right now.
  20. Lee has been involved in a couple of costly defensive lapses late in two different games now.
  21. Impressive that Yelich bunted a runner in. Our hitters would never do that, nor would the manager be smart enough to call for it. Perhaps because our guys can't bunt even if they try?
  22. If Jeffers ever learns to backhand the ball...... Sands wild pitch could have been caught, but his glove was not turned. He sits, and then never backhands the catch. Sometimes, especially is you sit catch, backhanding is the best option.
  23. Absolutely. It hit the ground untouched and made a dive for foul territory before he even touched it. It was a foul ball for sure. It was inches away from the line and trying to go foul quickly when Okert reached down and helped it out, but now he had touched it.
