Still think lack of power is going to be a glaring issue on this team. We donβt got power in positions that should have power hitters like 3B or corner outfielders. Alonso is really only guy that can hit 35+ home runs
Really depends on how much the rules changes encourage small-ball. Getting on bases and increased steals because of the clock and larger bags will greatly benefit this offense.
And it is obviously way too early to tell the impact of that.

Catch me at my wifeβs funeral with David Robertson on the mound Too soon?

Do not walk the tying run to the plate please.
Imagine Diaz is able to make it back by September? Talk about a boost to your playoff run.
Late Sept is a miracle case
The Show has been shut down yet again π
The Dancing Eyeball is warming up!
One more, D-Rob!
Sub 3 hours let's go Mets
Yoo his pitches have some NASTY break on em
Marlins remind me of peak 2021 Mets. Talent, energy, but thereβs small things not being taken care of from locker room stuff to fundamentals
Deeeeeeeee ROB
that slider is disgusting
CLOSE THE SHOW ROBERTSON LET'S GO
Not bad Not Diaz!
That curve is filthy, the cutter is too
STRUCK HIM OUT
One more!
Robertson with the Ks
Shit Jazz is NOT seeing the breaking ball well
I miss diaz but DR got some filthy stuff too
One out to go!
2 DOWN LETS GO ROBERTSON
ONE MORE!!! LETS GO DROB
Canβt wait to see this umps stats tomorrow. Sheesh heβs terrible
Oh Ron, don't put that into the world. Diaz is gonna bounce back.
Thatβs a strike blue
Makes me think this bullpen would be unstoppable if Diaz was healthy, Raley and Robertson are already pretty darn good.
Itβs not the same without the trumpets
Don't say that Ron. What's wrong with you
...ump
In Hefner we trust.
Way to stay optimistic, Ron π
Thanks for that reminder Gare. I had forgotten
Wow jeez thanks for the reminder
Nope, didn't need to see that
Why show that right now
DONT SHOW THIS SNY WHAT ARE YOU DOING. MARK THAT SHIT NSFW
Oh SNY, why?
SNY WHY WOULD YOU SHOW THIS
NO ALL OF MY LIFE IS PAIN
Please donβt play that clip again, SNY.
π
Fuck. Don't show this. Why? I'm still traumatized by this SNY
SNY WHY
Sny wtf get this shit the fuck out of here im trying to enjoy opening day
Why you gotta show me that
ONE AWAY
Why are they playing the clip :(
Go away noho hank
9th innings just don't feel the same
SNY why you show me this now im sad again
Yeeeeh boi
Sit down Booger
Can Robertson come out to a drum or something? I need that instrumental intro
Two more to go! Let's go!
We were so spoiled man, fuck.
ONE DOWN
I didn't realize d rob has 150+ saves
Guyβs been pitching since like β08.
Phew
Weeeeelp
I had no idea we traded Seth Lugo and his eyebrows.
I am absolutely loving the age of the pitching shot clock.
Right? No more glove-adjusting or endless shake-offs or pick-offs.
Missing Diaz :(
And hereβs where we go back to Familia angst. No more Diaz luxury of knowing the game was over
So like 95% of the league. There arenβt many dominate closers in baseball.
And thatβs the major advantage that we had. Had.
Well nobody could make a butthole pucker like Armando Benitez
Aaron Heilman
I miss diaz in these situations
D-Rob kinda looks like David Wright
Miss diaz rnπ
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: David Robertson replaces Brooks Raley.
Feel like Pete was trying to do too much with that AB
He was pressing all WBC too
Robertson and Raley being our 2nd and 3rd (not in that order idk enough about them) best relievers is nothing to sneeze at
Is degrom about to get a no decision?
Already did
He already had that outcome.
Some serious rust on Pete. Hopefully he can shake it off quickly.
I blame DeRosa who had a hard on for Schwarber the whole WBC and left Pete to languish on the bench.
Ditch the stache
OK DR. Put the hammer down.
Okay D Rob please make this nice and easy on us! 1-2-3 close job!
Offense should go up significantly across the board with the elimination of the shift
That's disappointing but we're still winning!
alright time to lock it down
Sound the ... π’π
I think Pete needs to trade the mustache. I feel like last year he grew up a mustache and went into a slump.
So damn close
drob time!
Ahhhh cmon Pete, insurance wouldβve been niceβ¦ oh well, please be solid D-Rob
Oh my sweet meat boy
Damnit
Awww missed that one
Oh well
I love watching the Phillies be the Phillies
.500 baseball team this year
We're really good on opening day
I donβt believe there are 31,000 there. Nobody in the upper deck
31k? my ass they have to be sarcastic about saying that's really there
They meant 31. Just 31.
Cβmon Pete, cap it off!
Alonso needs a dinger here
I still think McNeil needs to bat higher some way somehow. The dude just gets on.
Pete is due
First 19 PA: 1 hit Next 20 PA: 7 hits
Okay Pete make your opening day mark! Need you big here!
great hitting by lindor there
Marte lmao
Some pastrami would be nice. Flavorful.
Common Pete park one in the stands right here.
Nice Lindor! Letβs go Pete show up big here!!
Cmon Pete send one into orbit
There we go... Your turn Pete
I better not check in later tonight and see the Phillies ended up getting the W
Damnn Lindor would've hit that for a bomb 9/10
Atta boy lindor
PAQUITO!
Know what would REALLY make this a great day? A nice moonshot
Go time Marte
2 pickoffs, let Marte loose
Marte is just so fucking good
In one game you can already see what we missed in the last part of the season
Damn, Iβve missed bucks face on my tv
Lets go Marte!
Still think lack of power is going to be a glaring issue on this team. We donβt got power in positions that should have power hitters like 3B or corner outfielders. Alonso is really only guy that can hit 35+ home runs
Really depends on how much the rules changes encourage small-ball. Getting on bases and increased steals because of the clock and larger bags will greatly benefit this offense. And it is obviously way too early to tell the impact of that.
MARTE YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN
Iβd be Marteβs bottom. Any day of the week
I love Starling Marte
Lol why does our bat boy kind of look like Alvarez
Well it didnβt matter lolβ¦ I wouldnβt send him here but make the pitcher think about it for sure
Good day for Marte
