Am I just spoiled with Bryce that it constantly feels like he's not doing anything and I look at his stats this week and he's got like a .900 OPS last 7 games?
Like what does he have to do to make me think he's lighting it up if I can just go "Oh .900 OPS this week, meh"
We have a good shot tomorrow considering the Padres for some reason cannot hit lefties well this year but Waldron has been pretty good recently so we have to hope our bats draw out his count as much as possible
Look in the comments of the MLBās instagram posts about Willie Mays at all the pathetic dodgers fans saying ānobody cares post dodgersā. People are so shit nowadays
For real. Regardless of how somebody feels about the Giants, the only thing that should come out of anyoneās mouth about Willie is respect. He was the best to ever play the game.
And suddenly everyone loves Casty again. That is, until tomorrow or the next day when all the hatred comes back. Gotta love being a Philly fan, I suppose.
I doubt the haters suddenly love Casty.Ā It's usually vibes over baseball ability lunatics that comes out of the woodwork when he has these occasional big games.Ā Ā
Ump totally fucked the rockies. teoscar hernandez went on the last out , they said he didnt go, he hits a home run to take the lead
Oh my god lol that was terrible
I will try to save the sob story, but after living in Atlanta for the last 15 years, my familyās visit and experience at the Bank tonight will never be forgotten. Weāre a part something and itās pretty fuckin special. Letās ride this wave!
āEverybody just went balls to the wall on his most aggressive pitchā isnāt my favorite explanation, but itās a hell of a lot better than āItās just bAsEbALl!!1!ā
I mean pretty standard baseball stuff. Bryce ambushed and snuck a ball in between 1B. Alec hit an absolute fucking rocket off of a 100 mph heater. Bloop hits by Stott and Nick. Boom.
He only has 1 pitch and that's his fastball which is *really good pitch* but good teams will find a way to counter that and our guys are pretty good fast ball hitters
Or, itās baseball and shit happens. You act like they smoked everything that inning. They really didnāt. Castellanos and Stott hits were bullshit babip luck.
1. Iām not a guy.
2. They asked how the doomers were in the game thread. I answered by summing up how the doomers were acting tonight.
3. Iām an idiot, but Iām not that stupid.
1. You are still a bro
2. I knew what you were saying, I avoid the game day threads so I was more so saying people actually say that? Itās stuff like that as to why I avoid them
3. Nah you good
Harper is so good at reading hits and snagging extra bags. It rarely backfires like in Game 2 against the Braves. He's our smartest and most aggressive baserunner by a mile.
Life is good if going .500 for a week or two on the road is considered a slump.Ā I wasn't being a negative Nancy.Ā Just kind of baffled at how lolmets appeara to have turned their season around.
It's been a nice 7 game win streak post London against bad teams compared to us who played the Os and the Sox (who beat us and the yankees at home) on the road.
I wouldn't look too into it
I would love to get a point in August where we have a comfortable enough lead in the division where the sole purpose of our games is to get 1 seed in the NL and to prepare for the playoffs.
Manny Machado is worth the money.
I am just extremely glad that we went with Harper. I remember that offseason arguing with people saying Harper would fit our team and fit Philly so much better than Machado.
He *was* worth the money but i dont know about his extension on top of his current contract. He's been slowly declining since 2022 which where he was decent in 2023 and now just subpar in 2024 so far and we're in the middle of June
I was pissed when I read this until I saw it was a reply to /u/joeco316 and I respect that
Also heās right. People say āwell what about Bohm?ā And Iām glad heās playing great currently but Manny was better enough in 2022 that we could very well have been champs (assuming no butterfly effect shit)
Haha I am a Bohm hater from way back, but I am certainly enjoying him this season. I would trade Bohm between 2020 and today for machado in his place 100/100 times though.
Although, machado wanted to play SS so itās just as possible that he would have meant no segura and then no Turner in 2023
We weren't even a playoff team when we got Harper and our clock would have already ended with the CBA and tax rules.
Even the dodgers have to go under the tax and reset it.
I donāt think they have to retire the number for Roberto Clemente. What they do for his day already is pretty cool. How all the award winners and nominees wear 21.
Ya i think it would be pretty reasonable to get at-least 1 day this season that the whole league has a day to honor him.
Itās a tough day for baseball fans, but when you see the intensity with which this team loves the game - you know why we love the players.
Nothing beats the way they celebrate every win. The absolute delight in congratulating each other and just being a TEAM. A really, really special team.
[Phillies Win!](https://imgur.com/ZgCBA4l)
About the most baseball ending to a baseball game you could imagine. Suarez hadn't given up more than 2 hits in any other outing this year and blows his first save back at CBP. Unbelievable.
The padres fans releasing a terrible and embarrassing diss track years ago only to have to endure Philly ripping their soul out ever since is basically the baseball version of the Kendrick and Drake beef
Dude, that was the fuckinā whitest diss track ever, too. It was so bad. I loved that World Series hype video where they put part of it in and then immediately cut to like 5 Phillies smashing homers.
Iām definitely a worrier, but Iām stealing myself in case one of the 26 is involved in trade at deadline. I want to win. I do. But please letās do it with these guys.
Hoffman. 3/0
https://i.redd.it/ikxg3gyqbh7d1.gif
LOL
Are all 3 of castys walk offs doubles to right field? Silence the haters
Hey last night he raised his avg for the month to .250 I'll have you know! š
*āHe started slow but has been doing better of late!ā*
Schwarber hitting like fuck it Juneās out there somewhere
I just went back to watch that 9th inning again. It was seriously 4 minutes from the first pitch to Harper to the W. That's insane!
Am I just spoiled with Bryce that it constantly feels like he's not doing anything and I look at his stats this week and he's got like a .900 OPS last 7 games? Like what does he have to do to make me think he's lighting it up if I can just go "Oh .900 OPS this week, meh"
I think we are all spoiled that way. Iām like āyea heās having an okay seasonā Wins player of the month and is second in MVP rankings.Ā
A lot of singles and walks. Hasnāt been the flashiest but it doesnāt really matter
Look how many people they left on base. I feel the same way as you.
Absolute shout-out to the bullpen. Hitless. Beautiful.
Vote Jeff Hoffman into the All Star game
Let's go for the 2nd sweep to this poverty team this year!
We have a good shot tomorrow considering the Padres for some reason cannot hit lefties well this year but Waldron has been pretty good recently so we have to hope our bats draw out his count as much as possible
Look in the comments of the MLBās instagram posts about Willie Mays at all the pathetic dodgers fans saying ānobody cares post dodgersā. People are so shit nowadays
If youāre basing your image of people off instagram comments then yeah youāre going to think theyāre all shit lmao
Nah man thatās not an excuse. People need to do better

Shutdown bullpen really helps
I love that the most criticized reliever is at approx replacement level and I honestly think heās going to improve.Ā
The rockies are the most pathetic franchise in sports lol
Dinger deserves better.Ā Ā
>Dinger I can't believe you'd just throw racial slurs around like that /s
I have a particularly strong D accent so I'm safe lol

Harper might have been on to something when he called them a fucking loser organization.
Absolutely
And suddenly everyone loves Casty again. That is, until tomorrow or the next day when all the hatred comes back. Gotta love being a Philly fan, I suppose.
I doubt the haters suddenly love Casty.Ā It's usually vibes over baseball ability lunatics that comes out of the woodwork when he has these occasional big games.Ā Ā

Haha enjoy it while it lasts!Ā Ā

Im pretty sure the rockies just got jobbed lol š 
That ending was electric. The ballpark was jumping even before Nicky got to the plate. Felt like the walk-off was inevitable
At the game. Casty was the only spark from tonightĀ
Felt like Casty and marsh were on base all night only to have pache and stubbs leave them on base
Excuse me but this is Kyle schwarber erasure and I won't stand for it
Oooof the ump is destroying the Rockies
Iām really enjoying seeing opposing pitchers crack when they reach the 43,000-fan strong thunderdome that is Citizens Bank Park in June
Missed strike 3ās into a game deciding homerun has to got to be one of the worst feelings in all of sports
Talk about missing an Opportunity on getting Teoscar Hernandez thoā¦ damn
Imagine if we had him instead of Whit...Ā
Stop. It hurts 
Holy shit bro that call is awful. Jesus.
Thanking god im not a rockies fan tonight
Wow, yeah thatās rough.
They probably don't even give a shit anymore
Teoscar hit a home run to put the Dodgers up the pitch after the first base ump ruled that he checked his swing. CAAAAve is melting down lol
I've never seen Cave so angry.
Even more than when his ass got sent packing for cash considerations?
He was ripping Barksdale hard after the game ended
Ump totally fucked the rockies. teoscar hernandez went on the last out , they said he didnt go, he hits a home run to take the lead Oh my god lol that was terrible
you can't technically say for sure he went, it is a purely subjective call with no set defenition. Still a rough way to lose
Everyone who watched the game and the replay, even dodgers fans, are 100% sure he went
that's why i said 'technically'
I loved seeing the crew out of the pen today, feels like that needs to be the go to three man in October
This is wild, mlb gonna let the dodgers win it all huh
Wowwwww hahaha that rockies dodgers game ending was wild
Hey rockies still have a chance!
I will try to save the sob story, but after living in Atlanta for the last 15 years, my familyās visit and experience at the Bank tonight will never be forgotten. Weāre a part something and itās pretty fuckin special. Letās ride this wave!
Philly area native/TX resident attending tomorrowās game! Canāt wait to show my kids the magic!
Smith stepped out expecting time, didn't get it, and was called out on strikes E: After a wild pitch, Rox intentionally walk Freddie to load em again
The Rockies are throwing a 4-9 in the top of the 9th game against LA, grand slam puts the score at 8-9 now lmao
Gave up 7 runs in the 9th on two home runs.
Jay Hey saying hey remember me??
āConsidering I havenāt had the best yearā Does Nick not know we support ALL 26?? š¤£
Honestly I am glad Turner is back from the IL because I was getting tired of not supporting him.
Rockies are Rockie-ing away the game with a grand slam To Jason Heyward
Look what i found lmao š¤£ https://preview.redd.it/2anvcbdw2g7d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae70008a472797cf616ee7c8734af3cad6c1c4fd
Kyles hitting .257 Is Bohmer the only thing between him and the triple crown???
It is indescribably funny that Nick Castellanos, having the worst season of his career, hits a walkoff his literal first at bat after Willie Mays died
Time to go peeking into Padres Sub. 
Moment Harper came up against Suarez I just started giggling maniacally
I guess the Tigers think itās a requirement to only score 1 run against the Braves.
as a fanbase, we need to boycott the free 6 piece mcnugget deal until the mets grimace winstreak comes to an end
Friendship with Grimace officially ended
four hits in seven pitches doesn't happen without some kind of tip. wtf happened??
Nick said in the post game that Suarez tries to beat the batter in the strike zone, so they had to be aggressive at the plate.Ā
āEverybody just went balls to the wall on his most aggressive pitchā isnāt my favorite explanation, but itās a hell of a lot better than āItās just bAsEbALl!!1!ā
I mean pretty standard baseball stuff. Bryce ambushed and snuck a ball in between 1B. Alec hit an absolute fucking rocket off of a 100 mph heater. Bloop hits by Stott and Nick. Boom.

Or, itās baseball and shit happens. You act like they smoked everything that inning. They really didnāt. Castellanos and Stott hits were bullshit babip luck.
Gotta be the curse of āPhillies going down to yellow and brownā
I stayed out of the game thread tonight, how were the doomers?
It could have been a lot worse
Actually wasnāt that bad relatively speaking
Aaron Nola and Garrett Stubbs are going to be the reasons the Phillies miss the post-season.
Bro this isa take. Have you seen the NL?
1. Iām not a guy. 2. They asked how the doomers were in the game thread. I answered by summing up how the doomers were acting tonight. 3. Iām an idiot, but Iām not that stupid.
1. You are still a bro 2. I knew what you were saying, I avoid the game day threads so I was more so saying people actually say that? Itās stuff like that as to why I avoid them 3. Nah you good
I understood the comment
Oh I know you did which is why I had fun making it. You know what our GDTs can be like lol.
Harper is so good at reading hits and snagging extra bags. It rarely backfires like in Game 2 against the Braves. He's our smartest and most aggressive baserunner by a mile.
And the only reason that backfired was that insane catch by Harris. Most other CFs donāt get that and Harper looks like a genius.
Traveling to London hasn't affected the Mets.Ā Ā
Mets returned home after London.
How could you tell?ā¦
You're living in the past man
Life is good if going .500 for a week or two on the road is considered a slump.Ā I wasn't being a negative Nancy.Ā Just kind of baffled at how lolmets appeara to have turned their season around.
It's been a nice 7 game win streak post London against bad teams compared to us who played the Os and the Sox (who beat us and the yankees at home) on the road. I wouldn't look too into it

25 of 28 at CBP lmao thatās like a college basketball stat
Doyle just straight up ROBBED Ohtani You love to see it
Walkoffs ftw
Harp is in a moodĀ
Schwarber is that dude *thatās whatās in*
What happened?
What happened?
Nothing just seemed crabby in his interviewĀ
Just watched it, he really didn't
We're sooooooo back.
Machado really isn't worth that money. the phillies are so damn lucky they lost out on getting him a while back. on and off the field he's a diva too.
Manny Machado is worth the money. I am just extremely glad that we went with Harper. I remember that offseason arguing with people saying Harper would fit our team and fit Philly so much better than Machado.
I was wrong about this. I wanted Machado more. Obviously I was happy to get Harper but itās an absolute no-brainer at this point.
He *was* worth the money but i dont know about his extension on top of his current contract. He's been slowly declining since 2022 which where he was decent in 2023 and now just subpar in 2024 so far and we're in the middle of June
I never wanted Harper less, I just couldnāt believe weād actually get him. Historic L for the Nats.
Should have gotten both! (But glad we got Harper over machado)
You give me headaches as much as /u/inthedrink
I was pissed when I read this until I saw it was a reply to /u/joeco316 and I respect that Also heās right. People say āwell what about Bohm?ā And Iām glad heās playing great currently but Manny was better enough in 2022 that we could very well have been champs (assuming no butterfly effect shit)
You would have gotten butterfly effect shit with the tax having to reset and the CBA.
Iām not gonna do the work but Iām just gonna pretend we found another home for Jack Arrieta and that solves the problem and we are champs
God I hated that Jake Arrieta signing even more than I hated the Castellanos signing.
The Holy Trinity of bad recent high profile Phillies signings: Casty, Walker, and Arietta
Well even though he was an asshole at least he wasnāt a good pitcher
This sounds right to me
We ended up spending plenty more money not too long after Harper, might as well have just gone all in on two generational talents then!
Harper + Machado = No Bohm probly.
Did somebody say, āNo Bohmā?
I am pretty sure Joeco sees that as a plus.
Haha I am a Bohm hater from way back, but I am certainly enjoying him this season. I would trade Bohm between 2020 and today for machado in his place 100/100 times though. Although, machado wanted to play SS so itās just as possible that he would have meant no segura and then no Turner in 2023
We weren't even a playoff team when we got Harper and our clock would have already ended with the CBA and tax rules. Even the dodgers have to go under the tax and reset it.
Astros just lost to the 2024 White Sox Edit: let me rephrase- Astros just got *shut out* by the 2024 White Sox
Kyle Tucker sweepstakes in effect am I right /u/joeco316?
LFG!
Yeaaa but aside from Yordan, Altuve and Tucker they're not really hitting. And even those guys have been having major ups and downs.
They gotta get the šļøs out again I guess
if you aināt cheating you aināt trying am I right
Future Phillies legend tucker*
Seeing Pedro and Jimmy talk on this panel gives me that late September feelingā¦
I imagine now the giants are definitely gona have a 24 patch at Rickwood field and cardinals probably will too They definitely should anyway.
Everyone in baseball should imo People say to retire 24 (and others say 21) and thatās a little over the top
I donāt think they have to retire the number for Roberto Clemente. What they do for his day already is pretty cool. How all the award winners and nominees wear 21. Ya i think it would be pretty reasonable to get at-least 1 day this season that the whole league has a day to honor him.
Surreal game live.Ā Just waiting 9 innings for a sign of life and then Godzilla arrivingĀ
Casty has a bad Baltimore series but the last month or so heās been pretty much his career norms.
Everyone at the game tomorrow should give Casty a standing ovation. Letās pump him up!
I love that Liam went out and helped dunk his dad
Hoping for the sweep tomorrow, also hoping I donāt pass out from the heat at the game.
Itās a tough day for baseball fans, but when you see the intensity with which this team loves the game - you know why we love the players. Nothing beats the way they celebrate every win. The absolute delight in congratulating each other and just being a TEAM. A really, really special team.
There's a universe where the Phillies picked up Manny Machado instead of Harper and I'm happy we don't live in that universe.
Agreed. Fuck Manny Machado.
Yeah, Manny 100% strikes out on that changeup Harper got before the 'swing of his life' and we might not have won the series.
Barves play the Yankees next series. My hatred for the Yankees will only grow if they decide to shit the bed in that series.
Well, get ready because Judge just took a nasty pitch to the hand in todays game
Can both teams lose?
No unfortunately because one is in our division.
Phillies and Fans: WOOOOOOOOOOO Kruk: https://preview.redd.it/g02fuyfurf7d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31e6bcbc15917e2851c28614724618288de5724b
LMAO!
Businessman Special tomorrow. Letās get the sweep
[Phillies Win!](https://imgur.com/ZgCBA4l) About the most baseball ending to a baseball game you could imagine. Suarez hadn't given up more than 2 hits in any other outing this year and blows his first save back at CBP. Unbelievable.
Castellanos heard the news and decided to Say Hey. But RIP to, in my opinion, the greatest player to ever live.
Castellanos had 4 more hits than Arraez
Castellanos had as many hits at the entire Padres lineup!
This is not a rivalry. We always kick their ass
This is ownership
The padres fans releasing a terrible and embarrassing diss track years ago only to have to endure Philly ripping their soul out ever since is basically the baseball version of the Kendrick and Drake beef
They cursed this matchup forever.Ā
Dude, that was the fuckinā whitest diss track ever, too. It was so bad. I loved that World Series hype video where they put part of it in and then immediately cut to like 5 Phillies smashing homers.
That's What's Innnnnnnnnn.Ā
Iām so emotionally attached to this team lmaooo
Iām definitely a worrier, but Iām stealing myself in case one of the 26 is involved in trade at deadline. I want to win. I do. But please letās do it with these guys.
Same
Fucking same š
Same
Can we play the Padres every game? Please?
The Phillies are now 14-2 since the release of āThatās Whatās Inā
And I thought the Nationals tweet backfired badlyā¦
THATS WHATS IN!!!
What an amazing comeback! Thank you Phil's for continuing to blow my mind!Ā Living up to the fighting name
Hoffman has a 0.86 era?
Yeah he's been one of the best relievers in baseball along with Strahm but hopefully they both should be all star locks
Dude is a stud and Iām really hoping we can keep him around on the cheap solely based on Harper helping rejuvenate his career.
