May 25, 20214 yr Isn't it a bit weird seeing Amaro there on the postgame while they're talking about how horrible this team is when the guy has had a solid hand in why they're at where the are right now?
May 25, 20214 yr According to Todd zolecki the Phillies are exactly .500 when wheeler, eflin and nola pitch.
May 25, 20214 yr I don't entirely agree with all the anger and disappointment over the Phillies. Sure, be mad at the administration/leadership/drafting side of things. But this is just an OK baseball team. Never should have expected more. Harper is a .264 hitter as a Phil. That's who he is and will continue to be. Not bad, not great for your franchise hitter and the guy carrying your lineup. JT is a tick above his normal, but he's going to give you high 270's with just OK pop. Segura is actually the best they have at just getting the bat on the ball, but he has 0 power. For a team whose strength is actually supposed to be their lineup, that's really weak. Maybe it's the league-wide emphasis on launch angle over contact, but this lineup has so many high strikeout low batting average hitters, it should not be some mystery why the lineup is always so hot and cold. It's not flashes of brilliance as to what the lineup *could be*. This is who they are. And the rotation...Nola is a really nice starter, but he's no ace. So we've got a rotation with no true ace and no back end depth. Erratic lineup with occasional power surges (and outages) and a think, ace-less rotation. Cherry on top is the abysmal fielding. That kind of fielding can be tolerated when you are putting together a stacked lineup of big bats, but that's not the case here. Put it all together...this is a .500 team that belongs just outside of the playoff bubble. I'm not sure why anyone expected otherwise. The really disappointing part is that there is no help on the horizon. It's just so reliable for every Phillie prospect who generates hype to fall flat on their face. We no longer know what we have in Bohm. Spencer Howard is going backwards. No exciting bats in the system.

May 25, 20214 yr Phillies attempting to become one of the no hit teams alright we are actually beating the marlins
May 26, 20214 yr Wow velasquez finally learned how to pitch.... still confident this bullpen will blow it
May 26, 20214 yr Double V, baby! Is there still hope for him to be something at least decent/solid or is this a teaser and he'll revert to going through the order once and then he'll start getting hit? We won this game with TWO friggin hits. TWO. Luckily one of them was HR with a man on base. This team is still trash.
May 26, 20214 yr Only 5 thousand fans there tonight, they need to move to a baseball city, miami is terrible

I expect him to crash and burn eventually but for now I'm enjoying the ride, it would be awesome if he is finally able to put it all together consistently.

Watch him continue this through the end of the season then sign a mega deal with another team in the offseason.

May 27, 20214 yr Nola finally has a good start after what seems like 3 bad ones and it's ruined by another terrible offensive showing
