They could even do a hybrid where they play a 10th inning without GR and then go to HRs.Kind of like the 10th inning hybrid. Try to resolve it with standard baseball. Once you get through 10, do something fun to get it over with.
July 17, 20251 yr Tried watching the Phillies show podcast after over month and oh my god what trash it has become between the constant in show ads and Amaro being an even bigger tool, and great analysis like if they hit better and the bullpen pitches better they will be better.

I still watch it but man, it seems like half the show is talking about their sponsorships. It's really annoying not only hearing about Parks Casino, but they have the stupid Parks advertisement at the bottom of the screen. Horrible.

Sometimes mercifully ending the game and saving the pen is more important than even getting the win. I think it would be interesting to toy with it. Ghost runner is terrible. 3 players 3 swings each team with the most HR winning...kind of fun.They go regular extra innings in the playoffs. Which frankly makes sense with games of that magnitude. Imo if you are going to do the stupid ghost runner they really should do it starting in the 12 inning. Go 2 innings where you see if anyone scores then do it. Especially cause the game is way faster now with the pitch clock anyway and it’s still an advantage to teams who have a better bullpen that they get 2 innings

I do like Salisbury when he gives you some nuggets. Better podcast is Phillies therapy with Matt gelb. Hitting season used to be much better. Frankly not a lot of great Phillies podcasts. Philly special when they bring Anthony on is good but he goes down some deep rabbit holes about analytics

July 17, 20251 yr Jim Callis, who runs MLB Pipeline for MLB.com and is the former editor of Baseball America said the Phillies got one of the biggest steals in the draft. Hopefully they can sign him. Since they drafted a bunch of college players they shouldn't have to go over slot on them so they should have the money to sign this kid.
July 18, 20251 yr Luzardo is nothing more than a #4, which is fine. But those first 2 months of the season were definitely flukey as hell.

But those first 2 months of the season were definitely flukey as hell.That said I’ve put out there the guy i want as a bat is Jo Adell. Would also like it known i wanted Randy arozarena last year who is an all star this year with another season of control.
July 19, 20251 yr Couldn't even get through 5 innings against the Angels. Wow. He's definitely going to the bullpen come playoff time. Guess Nola will be the #4.
July 19, 20251 yr Starting off the 2nd half just great. Luzardo not only cant even get through 5 innings, but also coughs up a 4-1 lead and the bullpen chokes the game away. Oh and the bottom of the lineup is a GIGANTIC blackhole. 1-7 with RISP. Rinse and repeat.
July 19, 20251 yr Good game. This team has potential, Love the bullpen and lineup, Kepler and Stott are ready to break out ,Marsh is a wizard in CF
