Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread - Still can't hit for crap

Featured Replies

Thomson lost this game. The lefty combo losers of Falter and Hand are nothing short of a disaster. For some reason Belatti was taken out after a whopping 9 pitches and who does he go to? The junk ball throwing Brad Hand.

Nice of Hand to give the lead right back after the Phils clawed their way back in

In defense of Thomson, we've had a few pitchers in this game that should not be in this game.  At that point, it's a staff issue.

Great inning from Hand.  

There is no excuse for Hand over Syndegard, this game is most likely over because of it

Brand hand should not be in this game, Thomson has cost this team, horrible use of staff

The more I think about it, you guys are probably right.  This was always going to be a high scoring game due to pitching staff issues, but handling it differently probably could have shaved 2-3 runs off the board from what we are seeing right now.

Nah, he chose to pitch Falter instead of Syndergaard. He chose to take Belatti out after 9 pitches and went with a worse pitcher. Those are decisions he is in control of.

What makes the hand decision worse is 2 out of the 3 batters he was going to see were right handers. The first two batters were. 4 of the 5 hitters he faced were righty. The one batter that you brought him into this game specifically for was soto and he went yard on him. They should’ve went with the bellatti for the first two batters and then brought in hand specifically for Soto if you wanted him to match up against him because he’s a lefty. Which frankly hand has been terrible in this series 

It would actually be agonizing if Thor came in dealing.  I don't think he will, but that would hurt more.

yep

Game over. The offense isn't going to bring them back. 

 

It's not a nationally televised Philly sporting event without clips of people making cheese steaks.

Hand was garbage for the Jays now the Phillies, maybe if he thinks I am a mets fan he can go destroy them

Bet they don't get another run this game 

Possible. If I’m the padres with a two run lead I’m using Suarez and hader 2 innings each for the 6-9. I have darvish tomorrow. I’d just hope he goes 7 and then figure out the 8th and 9th then.

The Hand and Familia signings I questioned when they happened. Didn't like either of them.

Less of an issue with hand. Familia everyone knew was a dumb move and completely overpaid.

Hoskins swung with his eyes closed.  Lucky.  

Whooop there it is!

Holy crap

Rhys!!

Hoskins has gotten a ton of crap this series but has stepped up at times. But realmuto is 1-12 this series. 

With Harper on fire, Rhys heating up, and Schwarber getting base hits...this October is as good of a shot as they'll ever get.

Glad they tied it but I'm sick of how many they tend to leave in scoring position and how many dead spots they have in their lineup

They got rid of some of the garbage, next is Hand and Falter

I will never bad mouth hoskins again…. 

This is one ugly bullpen game.

They left Manaea in. Is that like surrendering?
