Phillies

[ice grillin you]

about to watch my first Phillie game this year

happy spencer howard day

[ice grillin you]

The 2020 Phillies have a 7.48 bullpen ERA... here is a complete list of team's in baseball history with a worse bullpen ERA:

1930 Phillies - 8.01
2020 Reds - 7.77

Howard fitting right in.

[ice grillin you]

I didn't really notice but one of the Phillie beats tweeted that he didn't have a single swing and miss on a fastball

[Geowhizzer]

Breaking:  This team still sucks.

the braves were jumping on his first pitch fastball. his curve wasnt there. theres enough in the arsenal to get your puss wet but he really looked like a kid who has never pitched above AA and has been throwing half speed intrasquad games for 3 weeks.

everyone can complain and justifiably so about vv or the pen or klentek but they scored 1 farging run in 14 innings. that...is not good. acuna took over the game meanwhile bryce popped up with the bases loaded. there it is.

i was out the crew that watches from the cf fence today. its a good time even though the team blows. just white people hanging out, drinking, masked up with tons of sanitizer.

VV did alright.  Just can't go long enough into the game.  I know that it's a bit different right now, but he's never been able to do that.  He throws too many deep counts.

SH gave up a couple of bombs.  It happens, especially in CBP.   

The lineup's indequacy and the bullpen's incompetence is of far more troubling.

I'm mentally half-cheked out of this season already.  Go Flyers.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah the offense was a bigger problem.

Can't hit and can't pitch

Other than that? World Series!

If I'm Harper I march into Middletons office and make a fuss.

[QB Eagles]

This is a bad product. Both the state of the game as a whole, and specifically the Phillies.

I have had the MLB.TV on a few times this "season" but I gotta stop. This is not worth paying attention to.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I was enjoying it just bc I was happy to have sports back.

With the ever changing rules on the fly. Cancellations and boneheaded flaunting of protocols. It's turning into a shtein show.

Hell the Cards manager said today that they've had players had to go to the emergency room for symptoms. And now they're canceled again tomorrow obviously. They last played July 29.

So now what? Their season is basically done. It's a joke of a season

The whole series with the Pirates is cancelled.   They'll have 46 days to complete 55 games.

You know how you can tell Howard is the real deal?

The lineup "hit" for him like he's the farging staff ace. 

PS:  MLB needs to shut it down.  Now. 

[Geowhizzer]

Where in hell has this been?

[SD]

Still no confidence the bp can hold this lead

[Rome]

I'm watching this in total disbelief.  This team is just stupid.
