I’d have preferred tanner scott for what they gave up. I do wonder if they would’ve gone all in on the A’s closer if he didn’t break his hand. They got estevez two days after that and 4 days before the deadline. Knowing the price was high for estevez and they paid that, I’m not convinced they wouldn’t have given up klassen, Abel and a top prospect like Caba for miller considering he was cheap for multiple more years. He injury basically made that unlikely as he is likely out 6 weeks and you couldn’t just have that be your move as you needed the help immediately

August 17, 20242 yr Just now, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: Ah yes just like last year with kimbrel The Phillies bullpen will be the Orioles downfall, hilarious

Even more annoying……we get every Reds game televised here on Spectrum. 🤮 What gets me in NC is you can’t watch the Braves or Nats. You miss 50% of the divisional games. The fact that they also black out the Reds and Orioles games is just piling on… (on mlb.tv)

I’m probably the only dope that still has Spectrum, so I can at least see all the Braves matchups. I thought I saw a few Pirates games on mlb.tv this year though? Maybe not?

I switched to Hulu tv the other week so now i can’t get dbacks or padres games unless i illegal stream it. It’s ridiculous
August 17, 20242 yr O’hoppe and moniak helping the Phillies tonight. Have all 3 rbi against the Braves.
August 17, 20242 yr Man if Harper didn’t go into that slump after the all star break he’d have a chance to win MVP
August 17, 20242 yr The first two Nats hits in the 9th were soft and the 2nd one was on a really good pitch. The run tying hit was grooved though. Can't make that mistake again. Still a W which is what is needed at this point. Style points can come in a couple weeks IF they can get some consistency winning games first.

Tbh i still think when BP guys get rest down the stretch due to the division lead being what it is that they’ll be fresher for it and it’ll help. estevez was hitting 98 and 99 night. Did it 10 times so his velocity isn’t the issue. I think it was more like Alvarado where his location wasnt great cause of how hard he was throwing. He got some swings and misses on those 98-99 mph pitches but just 2 of them were actually in the zone if guys didn’t swing. Remember reading the angels had him lower his velocity to 95-96 cause it helped with his control. When you look at his 90-96 mph he threw more strikes consistently. imo more irritated with the offense allowing Corbin to keep the Nats in that game. Corbin Fing sucks. He wasn’t good last night but they kept missing pitches and swinging at crap outside of the 3rd inning. Add on after the Nats took out Corbin, the Phillies didn’t have a hit from 1 out in the 5th til the 9th inning. Like we’ve seen at times they have these stretches where their plate approach is awful and it feels like they are just sleep walking through games

All I saw were the highlights for this one so I can't really have too much of an opinion but there was only one grooved pitch that was hit in any case.

Imo just win tonight and figure a way to win around Walker pitching. The 13 games after the Nats series are going to show us how back the Phillies are. That’s 13 games in a row vs. current playoff teams. Don’t need to go 13-0 or even 10-3. Just go 7-6 or 8-5 that’s good enough. Just can’t be like 6-13 like they were for the 19 games they had against twins, guardians, Yankees, mariners, dodgers and dbacks.

I saw Nola gave up 7 hits were they scattered or did he have a bad inning?

Actually don’t think he had his best stuff but he did a good job of getting out of innings and trouble. He had at least one base runner on every inning.
