November 4, 20223 yr the Eagles winning doesn't even add any degree of comfort. They have plenty of time to F it up. Now's the time for the Phillies though
November 4, 20223 yr That was agonizing. A big F you to Rhys Hoskins. I cannot wait to never see him again.

November 4, 20223 yr Author Hoskins and Castellanos need to be gone after this season. Absolutely disgusting performance by both of them.
November 4, 20223 yr It's going to 7 like I thought, just not the way I thought. Need to give Ranger a shot.
November 4, 20223 yr You guys are being too hard on players. Truth is we had no business being this far. We got hot at the right time but we're playing a team that is overall much more talented than ours. Just give the Astros credit where it's due without pissing all over our guys. Jeez, at least let's lose gracefully and with humility.

Third, shut the freak up. Hoskins is dog crap.

Hoskins is dog crap. okay then challenge him for the job next year if you're so Fin' good. Secondly, I know how to spell. It was a typographical error. I'm sure you've never made one though, Mr. Perfect.

Someone has to lose. I agree that it sucks. We're just not as good as the Astros. We knew that going into this.

November 4, 20223 yr Sucks that they probably won’t finish this run off but hard to be too mad about it. Hell of a run. Offense went cold at a bad time but it happens. Make a couple moves and hopefully they’ll be back here next season. Hoskins really does need to go though.

I've just seen the movie too many times as a Phillies fan. Yeah, they got there a year early, but that doesn't change how much we love them and die inside when they lose.

It's 20 min after a heartbreaking loss in Philly, so one of many overreactions coming. No, I don't think Thomson should go, but he should get a ton of crap for basically doing nothing to get his team going when they were something like 0-20 with RSP. Throw down a freaking bunt to get runners on. Mix up the lineup to start the game moving NC down. Tell RH not to F'ing swing at the first pitch after he just walked 2 because we all knew he was hacking at it. He shouldn't have risked another inning with Thor either. They got lucky after the first run. Take the 3 he gave you and call it good. What makes him a good coach is being even and calm....but sometimes you need to make moves and he didn't do crap tonight.

Wheeler with more rest. Let’s go.

Jeez, at least let's lose gracefully and with humilty. No offense castellanos as been bad all yea r hitting and his approach at the plate as been atrocious for a while now. Even stott and bohm who are basically a rookie and a guy in his first full season were able to get going and figure it out which tell me it’s not the coaching. Castellanos hasn’t. As for hoskins I’m less irritated with his hitting and more irritated on routine Fing plays at first. average fielding first basemen make the plays he’s not. That’s the second time in two series he’s had a ball hit to him like that where he Fed it up. I’m not asking him to be a gold glover. I’m asking him to make the routine plays at first. How many times has he Fed up a routine play at first this postseason? at least 3 by my count and they’ve all killed the Phillies. So he was not a good fielder in the OF and he stinks over at first. Stinks putting it lightly the analytics say he’s arguably the worst fielding first baseman in the league.

The only criticism I have of Thomson is not dropping Castellanos in the line up. That’s a slam dunk.
November 4, 20223 yr Author Game 6 should go... Segura JT Harper Schwarber Hoskins Bohm Stott Castellanos Marsh

Segura JT Harper Schwarber Hoskins Bohm Stott Castellanos Marsh Stott is likely not starting as it’s Valdez who’s a left so you are likely getting sosa and vierling. With that I’d probably go schwarber rhys (besides game one he’s actually been better than realmuto who’s 1-17 with 11 Ks in games 2-5) Harper realmuto bohm segura Castellanos Vierling sosa They need some sort of change in the lineup to spark them.

If they are going mess with the first 4 they have to move up bohm to 5 hole. He’s 5-18 for the series which is .278 average and has a .350 OBP. Right now castellanos is 3-20 (.150) with an OBP of .190. That’s awful. Only stott has been worse at 0-13 but his OBP is better at .235
