I’m betting it’s an analytics thing which is dumb cause analytics isn’t going to help a pitcher that’s just not good They think Phillips is going to eat innings but the guy can't go 2 outs without giving up 6 Fing runs. This is the mariners game all over again
September 3, 20242 yr lol at this point topper is just going to leave him in there not to kill his bullpen. However Phillips is Fing awful he might not be able to get 3 outs.

This is the mariners game all over again Id say it has to do with a RHP vs. LHP vs. blue jays thing but blue jays are worse vs. LHP. Allard gives you 4-5 it’s fine if you go Ruiz for 2. The fact Phillips got hit hard in his last 2 minor league starts should’ve told you he isn’t going to fare well in this game.
September 3, 20242 yr So apparently the reason Allard isn’t pitching is due to not being able to be called up til September 10. If they had DFA Walker then I believe they could’ve had Allard on the roster. But since they just sent him down they had to wait til September 10.
September 3, 20242 yr If they were going to start this stiff on the mound they should have just sat Schwarber, Harper, Turner, etc.
September 3, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, nipples said: If they were going to start this stiff on the mound they should have just sat Schwarber, Harper, Turner, etc. them having to start Phillips again, goes back to them not DFAing Walker. If you designated Walker for assignment, then you could’ve kept allard on the roster. Allard would’ve been the one starting today instead of Phillips. This keeps going back to the fact the Phillies don’t want to admit they made a $72 million mistake and they falling into this sunk cost fallacy. Now it’s hurting you even when he doesn’t Fing start. or even this
September 3, 20242 yr If they're willing to throw just anyone out there I'm willing to give up 10 runs for way less money
September 4, 20242 yr The blue jays pitching is bad so they’ll score runs. Problem is you are gonna have to use Walker at some point to get through this and he likely gives up runs
September 4, 20242 yr 2 is better than nothing. But to have bases loaded twice and only score two runs is awful

Not that i want him to pitch. But his only role is long relief to get you 2-3 innings and not have your bullpen need to go 8.1 innings

Nice to get Alvarado some work coming back from his absence

He's making $18 mil isn’t a reason to keep a guy if he can’t give you 2-3 innings here without imploding.

They knew he wasn't good enough then
