May 2, 20214 yr Great move to bringing neris in where he’s been bad against the Mets and conforto has good numbers against him.
May 2, 20214 yr On top of Kingery, how much longer do we have to watch this clown Neris? I have to say I'm not impressed with Girardi since he has become Manager. He does things on a consistent basis that makes me scratch my head and usually the team gets burned, aka Hector Neris.

They have a guy that went through an easy inning so instead of going back to that guy for the next inning, they have to go to the "closer". What a joke.

May 2, 20214 yr Only the Phillies can make conforto who’s been pretty eh this year look like an all star

May 3, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: Ugggggh. When will this team start hitting and scoring runs? This is brutal. We might get lucky and have ARoid share his thoughts. He’s seems to be intelligent enough. Really need to get segura back. Then trade for not one but two outfielders. Mccutchen can’t field anymore and is a below average hitter now. Even his OBP is the lowest of his career. And their centerfield is a mess.
May 3, 20214 yr Conforto vs. Phillies 9-30 (.300) 1 HR and 5 RBIs conforto vs. everyone else: 11-43 (.255) 1 HR and 2 RBIs
May 3, 20214 yr Bryce crushes that ball for a single... that’s what the box score will show tomorrow lol
May 3, 20214 yr Why the hell is kintzler pitching the 8th? He Fing sucks. Just use Alvarado from the start. lol cause Rhys and maton not paying attention the Mets tie the game. Great job by girardi as well to use this kintzler who’s not a set up guy
May 3, 20214 yr They deserve to lose this game - just stupid lazy baseball on the defensive end. Why is it that no matter who the coach is, we suck on defense? Oh that’s right - it’s the players.

Oh that’s right - it’s the players. Defense is bad. The bullpen has also been horrible since after the first two series of the year. Been bottom 10 in nearly every statistical category
May 3, 20214 yr Bullpen morphing back to 2020. Also no offense girardi a Fing moron for starting this inning with kintzler to start the snowball
May 3, 20214 yr 6 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: I knew someone would look to jump on the bullpen. I would rather point to what should have been 6 errors tonight. The bullpen has been fine this year. This offense is a joke. And the defense is what cost them this game. You can’t put your pitchers in those situations. Have you seen the numbers from the bullpen since April 9th? They’ve been awful. The defense sucks tonight however their bullpen since the first atlanta and Mets series has also been trash. No offense the bullpen being bottom 10 in almost every category for nearly a month isn’t all on bad hitting and defense. If we just use the NL they actually are bottom 3 in all those categories. The Phillies also suck at fielding and hitting but the pen has been just as bad
May 3, 20214 yr 9 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: 23rd is an improvement. Blaming the bullpen is not being able to see the forest for the trees. They can’t hit. They are like 28th in hitting with runners in scoring position. They kill their pitchers with this ish defense. Yet they got their little handshakes down pat when someone does hit a HR. Hoskins drives me f-ing nuts. He’s Dave Kingman, with less power. Seriously Who hasn’t bobbled a ball tonight? Where did I say the defense wasn’t a problem and hitting wasn’t a problem? However being 23rd in the league it’s not something to be proud of or act like they are good cause it’s an improvement. The bullpen still sucks. Tonight the defense let them down. Some of that was on Eflin one who miss threw the ball to second base and some of that was on Hoskins not catching that ball (and dicking around) and some of it was on bohm we’re not making a double play. However Alvarado had 11 pitches in that game and 9 were balls. I can’t really blame the defense when Alvarado walks home a guy. Kintzler gives up a solo Homer to pilar who’s batting 190 to start the rally only thing this team has going for it is wheeler, nola and eflin at the moment
May 3, 20214 yr 18 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: You can blame the defense for allowing the ish show of that inning to materialize. I turned it off to let the dog out and go after it was tied up. I saw what was coming. So if Alvarado walked in a run then he can F off as well. I just think tonight isn’t the the night to jump on the bullpen. Because it lets the rest of the team off the hook. And it leads to earned runs charged on the bullpen. Obviously not all of them, the pitchers share their portion of the blame too. But that 23rd ranked ERA by the bullpen has a little to do with the fact that this team can’t field. And when they f up it’s not always an error. Like tonight. How is that McCutcheon play not an error? That was ruled a double. Did they charge Hoskins with an error for being a moron? Another thing that has me bent is the constant use of the lineup. Hoskins is too streaky to be hitting 2nd. McCutcheon is not a lead off hitter. I’m glad they dropped upper cut Didi in the lineup. He finally did something tonight with the bat so I’m sure Girardi will change that. I also would maybe put Maton higher up in the batting order. And when Segura comes back Maton needs a shot in CF. I know they have been having him F balls in the outfield. Don’t get me wrong there a defense tonight was Little League six-year-old atrocious. McCutchen had that play that should’ve been caught. He had another play where he completely misplayed the ball against the wall. Hoskins with his dumb dicking around with maton. Maton missing a ball he should’ve caught. their defense is atrocious. It’s been an issue even when kapler was here. Doc that it keeps continuing to get worse is amazing. They shouldn’t be this bad. as for the hitting I don’t know when that’s going to change. The only ones who are consistently hitting night tonight or Realmuto and Harper. (Segura was before his injury). Everyone else is super streaky or haven’t got remotely close to going. I don’t disagree that bad defense and the lack of offense plays a role with the bullpen but the bullpen has their own set of issues. Alvarado, neris and Coonrod have been the only 3 that are been consistent for this year. The rest of the bullpen no one has under a five ERA. That’s not all because of the defense. they really are just not very good outside of those three guys. Brogdon started off hot those first two series and then got destroyed after that. That said the 8th started cause kintzler gave up a homerun to Pilar who is batting .190. Frankly girardi has no business using him as a set up guy. He isn’t good to begin with let alone using him there. The bad defense followed the homer then return to walking home a run then Alonso crushing a ball to the alley off hale. That 8th inning was a microcosm of the Phillies bad defense (tonight and most of the season), bad move by girardi and the bullpen I think segura needs to be leading off when he comes back. However they should try to acquire a outfielder that can be a leadoff guy so you can move segura to 2 hole. It makes your lineup way more potent at the top. Move hoskins to 5th. Hope didi and bohm get going. I’d move mccutchen all the way to 8th tbh. His OBP is lowest of his career and his average is low.
