September 4, 20242 yr 10 minutes ago, devpool said: They should've dropped him after they left him off the playoff roster last year. They knew he wasn't good enough then This goes back to the Phillies sunk cost fallacy. They’ve invested so much into him with the $72 million that they don’t want to admit that it was a mistake. The fact that they’re gonna pay $72 million for a guy to be a long reloef pitcher is insane to begin with. Because you didn’t designate for assignment you had to start Phillips who’s been bad. Allard has actually been decent at the MLB level this year should’ve been starting that game. Maybe he sucks in this game. But he at least showed you through 4 starts he earned it as he was consistent to give you 4-5 innings and three or less runs.
September 4, 20242 yr Sosa faced 11 pitches tonight. Swung at 9 of them. Again why when Sosa begins playing more and more he gets exposed more. Literally swung at crap his first at bat to strike out and this at bat he struck out on a horrific pitch to strikeout

But his second time through the avg jumps to .339 and 7.62 era. And third time it’s a disaster of .340 with a 9.69 era. Thomson should’ve pulled him as soon as he got to the second time vs. vlad

And the Phillies use analytics a lot. So the fact that it was still a two run game, should’ve been in his mind I have to get him out before facing guys the second time because where he tends to struggle. If they were getting blown out still then it makes sense to just let him keep going. But since you got it down to 2, you can’t leave him in there to face guys a second time because it’s been proven he implodes then .
September 4, 20242 yr If we weren’t 3-16 with RISP we likely are winning this game even with the awful start from Phillips.

It’s skewed. Because if you watch them enough, they have these games like against the Royals. Were they just go bananas and it boost their stats are. Meanwhile, if you watch them enough, they do this will be good for two games and then be bad for like 4 to 5 to even 6 games were they just can’t it was runners in scoring position. And it’s shown that in the playoffs going back to the Astros series.
September 4, 20242 yr lol not pinch hitting hays for marsh against a LHP. I get Castellanos is out and removed Rojas but really can survive two innings if hays comes up with a hit against LHP that he hits well.

Runners 1st and 2nd no outs. LHP on the mound which a Stott doesn’t hit well against. That’s the time to bunt and Stott has shown he can get a bunt down
