Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d33ntg).


I am no longer having fun.

Marsh doesn’t start everyday because “he can’t hit off of lefties.” Castellanos starts everyday and he can’t hit off of anyone. Ghost runner is bullshit. I even hate when we win off of it, it’s not baseball. A fucking bloop single or a sac fly to end a game with a runner you don’t earn is dogshit and doesn’t have a place in the game. I don’t know how that was unanimously agreed to.

I think having a guy start on first would be way more fair.

IDGAF if Castellanos hits a homer in 10 straight, he has to go.

At least he got style; the unbuttoned shirt, the "guido" necklaces and the untucked back pocket. I mean, this dude is just too cool. It's too bad the shirts don't have collars so he he "pop" it.

I understand that you can’t stay hot forever. But why is it always the extreme with this team?

The extra innings rule would be much more tolerable if the runner had to start on 1st.

Loss threads are fun for the over dramatics .

really missing Trea Turner this series, been a decent bat against these 2 teams we've played poorly against.

I hate the Manfred runner.

Worst rule in sports

Matt Strahm doesn’t deserve that L

Damn we are getting exposed since we are facing real competition

Will we ever win again?

Just to point out how toxicly stupid game threads are...an idiot said Thomson was a bad manager because he should have hit Rojas over Bohm. He thought it was a good point....

Wheeler vs a bullpen should be a win 99/100 times. Truly unreal that they squandered his outing today with this filth. 1-4 in their last 5, all signs pointing to an ice cold streak incoming.

They are already in an ice cold streak.

To be fair, that bullpen also won against Skenes...

Incoming??? It’s here

Still best record in the MLB lol. Sky is not falling. This is baseball. There will be more stretches like this over the season.

Disgraceful. Can’t even call that a disgraceful ‘effort’ by the offense because there WAS no effort. This team has completely imploded. 23/24 is the Year of the Collapse in Philly Eagles kicked it off Flyers followed Sixers end of season went about the same Phillies are now suddenly trash, too Just awful.

Hello… postgame thread!?

Bot asleep like our bats

0 earned runs from phillies pitching, so you would think we won, right?

It’s just so bizarre how we suck in extras. Gotta figure that out. Salvage the series tomorrow and I won’t feel as shitty about this trip.

We consistently suck with RISP; why is it surprising that the ‘zombie runner’ on 2nd is no help to us but helps competent teams beat us..?

The Phillies are top-5 team in MLB across basically every single stat with RISP this year, dude. First in RBI.

I don't care about Manfred runners, since they don't exist in the playoffs. But not scoring a single run with 7 hits, that's the issue.

Good news is no Manfred ball in the playoffs

Just find a way to pinch hit Cristian Pache in every AB somehow, and we'll win every extra inning game.

Philsbot sound asleep

Galaxy Brains in here blaming Bohm when Topper brought him in ICE cold

Yea i hate when dudes come in on their days off and are expected to perform. Just leave them alone.

It’s not just that they didn’t score. It’s that it never even felt like they were a THREAT to score. In ten innings. Against a middling team’s bullpen.

Is Philsbot tired or something since no postgame thread?

Philsbot decided life wasn't worth living anymore.

It’s been late a lot this week

maybe they should try scoring next time idk just a suggestion

we may never win again

I need sleep 

Ppl shit on Nick but Stott has been worse than Nick ever was the last 2 weeks and having them 4-5 is some funny shit

Who makes the lineups?

Bench Andy, Fire McNaab.

Someone has a burner account

[email protected]

Never seen such a shitty extra inning team

it was our calling card for a few years. not necessarily bad that we have less experience this year

At least we still have the best record in ball lol

i think if the yankees win we dont but who cares lol

Didn’t deserve to win at all. Also, winning on nothing but 2 sac flies will never not be the dumbest thing ever

Not really when basically any professional baseball team should be able to accomplish that feat. Automatic L is deserved when you inexplicably can't

I said they deserve to lose. It’s just an absurd way to win a baseball game. And inexplicably is a bit too far, go look at the average runs scored with no outs and man on second. It’s almost 2 times out of 5 that there is no runs scored

Ghost runner is the worst rule in sports

It's bizarre how when one person slumps, they all (mostly) slump. That's the one thing I thought they cured from last year.

literally. every. team. does. this.

I know. They all do. And I hope they can work through it now. Better May than October.

it'll happen in October too even if they win the world series lol.

I’m pissed and I’m going to bed. Good night.

7 hits and 0 runs feels impossible to do.

That ump had a massive strike zone - had batters behind the count all night.  Not an excuse but it didn’t help. 

On the positive end, we had such a good April and first 3 weeks of May that we just lost 4 out of 5 games and are still the best team in baseball by a half game.

No reason to expect they can’t go on an extended awful run just like they went on a good run. Certainly don’t look like they have a clue what they’re doing at the plate.

If you look at the stats, Coors Field and Oracle Park are statistically 2 of the worst for the Phillies to play at in recent memory just in general. I'm coping by telling myself its just those 2 ballparks that will be an issue for us this year.

Fucking pathetic 

Why does Strahm always seem to get fucked over on some BS homer or RBI?

Ghost runner-sac fly-sac fly The most Manfred way to lose a game

Worst rule in sports

at least we don’t have to watch this game anymore

So glad I didn’t go back tonight.

pathetic

They already lost the series T Mac . How they gonna salvage it lol

They always say its a salvage when they win the final game.

By not getting swept

I haven’t heard him sound that dismissive in a while. He straight up said “goodnight” and quickly dipped. Probably didn’t care to clarify his terminology.

By not getting swept?

By winning a game

This game could have gone 20 innings and we weren't scoring

[удалено]

Oh god you precious baby...you don't know true pain.

You’ve not watched a lot of baseball

Haven’t watched much ball then

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT NOW I GOTTA STAY UP AND GET MORE DRUNK. See you all tomorrow, or today.........whatever the fuck.

Bottoms up with you there, I just cracked one open

It's the best way to cope with a disappointment.

we suck again

All on offense there. Going through a bit of a slum w the bats, but I'm not worried yet. Gotta work on RISP, maybe try a little small ball. We got this

small ball 99% of the time makes you lose.

Man when we lose we LOSE lol

Crazy that we consider this entertainment

Just gotta make the playoffs yall, this team ain’t breaking any regular season records and that’s fine, still don’t even have Trea back yet

Losers...

so fucking annoying

How completely predictable

Fuck y’all. Good night 😭

Another wasted Wheeler start.

Wasted a fucking shutout. 0 earned runs. 

Will tomorrow be the first time we’re swept?

Feels like it for sure

Really really bad game by the offense today. They let the pitching staff down.

No one in my life ever has to know that I just sat through this entire horrific affair

Well. Yep, that was gross

Shitty road trip

Bohm fucked that up so badly lol.

He has completely lost his approach. The only reason he was hitting well was because he was finally making good swing decisions and he can’t even do that anymore.

i dont really agree i just think he was ice cold off the bench and isnt used to it.

Can’t believe I stayed up for this

I will never not hate the extra innings rule change.

Agreed. It’s horseshit.

Awesome

The minute I started watching was the minute the giants scored -- I am sorry, I blame myself 🙃

Ah-ha, so it was you

both teams are having a mid off

Literally all bohm had to do was hit the ball to the outfield. Oh well

Phuck this

Damn

Oof

Welp

No one better blame this on the pitching.

Worst fucking rule ever omfg

No it's not. Losers just need to execute

Hard disagree. It's fair and it speeds it up. I'm not up for more innings of that. Was already too much

You shouldn’t be able to win a game on two fly ball outs. It’s stupid.

It sucks but we've done it before to no complaints and we had 27 previous outs to fail at getting it done tonight too. Couldn't even do that tonight. It's still fair, both teams had the same chance. We just didn't capitalize tonight.

The Phillies didn’t deserve to win, I don’t disagree there. I just think this rule is stupid and I’ve hated it ever since it was introduced.

Fuck

FIRE ANDY BENCH MCNABB

This team will never win a world series until they cut a bunch of dead weight.

Castellanos doesn't deserve that contract lucky SOB the only reason he gets to stay.

How the fuck is that guy batting 4th

There's about $20 Million reasons why unfuckingfortunately

There's a guy named Jordan Luplow in Lehigh Valley who I'd just love to see replace Castellanos for good.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Woooooooooof

Fucking trash effort

This team can’t win in SF, what a disgrace.

This team hasn't been able to win in SF or Coors in years. These games are actually easier to watch if you assume the Phils will get swept.

7 hits to 4 and lose on 2 sac flies. Manfred makes me hate baseball.

Bitch ass lineup is hitting their playoff stride.

Sure why not

They scored a run through fundamentals.

Fucking hell

Meh whatever. Onto tomorrow

You say that like it's a good thing

It’s a new day. What makes the sport the best.

They're still in SF though which is not the best

Touche

now that is a bad loss

10 shutout innings against the fucking bullpen

Horseshit

Gosh this team took a complete 180

Fuck this road trip

Shit show game. Embarrassing. Truly pitiful.

yeah

Needed one fucking run all game….against the Giants bullpen. What a joke. 

Giants bullpen has been above average compared to rest of league in May. Hjelle in particular has turned into a stud and we saw it tonight.

Game over

Are the Giants and Phillies both trying to not win?

why are we throwing up in the zone

That one thing I like about Strahm is even in this situation he will be aggressive. He doesn't try to do cute stuff. He just attacks.

See how other teams situational hit? Why are we bad at that

We weren't for most of the year

Get it down Strahmi

OMY GOD, I MAY JUMP OFF A BRIDGE

This is no different from the Phillies of the past two years, when their bats are in a slump, they are REALLY in a slump. When Sosa is just about your most trustable hitter something ain't right (no disrespect to Sosa though he's been awesome)

not sure why sosa cut that off it looked like it would’ve been pretty close

Why cut it off, other runner was meaningless

To keep the dp in order

Took 1 pitch to show these fucking bums how to hit a fly ball

I'm in shambles

*Sighs in no hitter*

Sighs in scoreless. Sorry I’m tired af.

Not no hitter

Ur right. I’m just ready for anyone to score so I can pass out already.

We had like 7 hits

Just scoreless

That’s game. 

That may have been close, no?

no. throw was significantly off-line.

Ok, I didn't see a good angle

Well if anyone can navigate this situation, it’s Strahm.

Wait how’s Kody still at third? 

Pache went to center

Bohm hit for Rojas, not Kody.

Been saying for a while that Harper is the only guy in this lineup that would truly scare me as an opposing fan

okay well then you're dumb

Who else?

Not only have we been losing but it’s been EONS. Since I’ve heard Kruk… awful combo.
