May 25, 20242 yr Sanchez the last two innings just hasn’t had it. 4 hits and a walk in his last 9 batters.

May 25, 20242 yr Our hitting has been atrocious tonight besides realmuto and Sosa. The fact blach had a 5+ era coming into this game and only 71 pitches through 6.2 innings is ridiculous. idk wtf pache is swinging at. That ball was into the batters box at the time the pitcher threw it Probably a good time to point out 4 of the 5 outfielders on the roster are hitting below .215: Rojas, Castellanos, pache and merrifield
May 25, 20242 yr That is super close. I think cause they called him safe it stays as that. wow they overturned it. That’s big. Looked from behind first they just got him but didn’t think umps would overturn it
May 25, 20242 yr Playing like crap tonight and still finding ways to be in for the win. Hopefully we can get insurance here

Realmuto has looked good. Even his DP was smoked. And Sosa has looked good. Everyone else just looks like they flew cross country last night

May 25, 20242 yr Had a feeling 2 runs wouldn’t be enough. Gonna have to actually hit to win this game. Fact we haven’t against the worst team in the NL is more frustrating
May 25, 20242 yr Why the F are we pinch hitting for Sosa when he’s been one of our best hitters of late? Might as well pinch hit for merrifield or pache who are bad
May 25, 20242 yr 4 minutes ago, RoadToHell said: Really bad game by the Phils Poorly managed too. Should’ve had marsh replace Harper. Not Rojas who’s hitting 3rd in the lineup. At least marsh you want getting as many at bats as possible. Add on you pinch hit for Sosa who’s been hot lately and let merrifield hit schwarber trying to hit a HR instead of just getting a hit.
May 25, 20242 yr Of course swing at the one out of the zone and the one that’s close you just stare at wow jt didn’t swing that’s bs

May 25, 20242 yr 6 minutes ago, RoadToHell said: He’s gotta get a bunt down They need to trade for an outfielder. Can’t have 2 of 3 outfielders consistently hitting this poorly. Rojas can’t hit well enough to justify being an everyday player and Castellanos is too hit or miss. Rockies RP had a 8.38 ERA yet. None of our guys could do anything lol

May 25, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, RoadToHell said: Are they seriously looking at Jazz? I didn’t see that rumor. Frankly it’s gonna cost too high of prospects. Just go with a solid rental bat that’s going to be much cheaper. Unless they are giving up Rojas and McGarry in the deal as the package i wouldn’t do it. I’m guessing the marlins want someone like Abel or Crawford
May 25, 20242 yr 7 hours ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: As much as I like winning every game we play, none of this makes any difference if we go out and lose in the playoffs. The only thing I worry about is if they’re playing at this level and they have no shot at setting the wins record are they going to just coast the last month then have to turn that urgency back on. It’s a problem i think the dodgers and even Braves have had. That said losing the way we did to the dbacks i’d be surprised if this team isn’t completely focused throughout the playoffs. I think that loss taught them a valuable lesson. that said with how baseball makes the first wildcard the 4 seed and the central winner the 3, might be better off being the 2 seed. Cause the 1 seed is highly likely to play Atlanta in the nlds and the 2 seed is getting the NL central winner. Potentially as the one seed going through Atlanta and then dodgers. Whereas the the dodgers might get cubs/brewers then Phillies/braves We can cross that bridge when we get to it. The Phillies may very well slump in July or August, and then their record is a little more even with other teams. I cannot see them winning 110 games. In the meantime, win these games and build a lead in the division. It is asinine to say they should lose more games, and then have to catch up with someone or sweat it out in September.

They are eventually gonna go into some sort of slump. It’s inevitable with how long the season is. However the biggest concern I have right now is their outfield besides Brandon marsh is not very good. Merrifield has been downright awful outside of a week. Pache has also not been very good and is hitting .209 but at least he has a solid OBP. Rojas has been horrible hitting outside of the Rockies and white Sox series in April. That series he hit .438 (7-16) with a .500 OBP. The rest of the year he’s hitting .184 (23-125) with an OBP of .221. that is absolutely atrocious. Like Castellanos hasn’t been good but Rojas outside of the five game stretch has been atrocious hitting. He should be in the minors learning how to hit. Because he’s not getting better in the majors. He’s staying pretty consistently bad. Like this game should’ve been a game where he plays well cause the Rockies are not good and he look completely lost up there. And then there’s Castellanos who’s hitting .206 and has an OBP of .278. to me, you can’t have four of your five outfielders hitting below .215 and 3 of 5 below .280 on base percentage. i think you have to go out and get an outfielder if the other four guys besides Brandon marsh are going to be this inconsistent or this bad. In the playoffs you are putting a ton of pressure on the 7 other guys to continuously be consistent and not go into a slump. If one or 2 do now you have a much bigger problem. It’s kind of what happened to them after game 5
