Doesn’t matter how great Sanchez or Nola are, this team has scored 2 or less runs in 4 of 6 playoff games. 3 consecutive games

October 5, 20242 yr Wheeler is the only pitcher worth a damn on this entire roster, the bullpen is garbage

Their answer for hitting woes was fixing chase rate and signing Merrifield. That was never the solution that was going to work. Then their big acquisition for the offense at the deadline was Austin hays. Another mediocre fix to their problems. When the Phillies actually realize long is not that great of a hitting coach and actually decide to go all in maybe they’ll win. But they went cheap route and have the same issues

He should have said screw this team and just went to FA. He could have gone to a team that doesn't choke offensively plus gotten paid a lot more than what he got with the Phillies.

October 5, 20242 yr I don't want to hear anymore how great of home field advantage CBP is. Not anymore. They've lost 5 out of their last 6 home post season games.
October 6, 20242 yr Good thing that the Eagles have off this weekend so that we can all focus our angst and hatred at the Phillies general level of suckitude.

Sixers were once a great homecourt advantage until the hawks series where they lost 3 of 4. I look at it this way, before the season started I said they’re gonna lose in the NLDS because they sat around all off-season and didn’t make moves to get better besides whit Merrifield. They needed more than that. They sat there like they were just going to be better. Bring everybody back and everybody was gonna be better and not chase. The rest of the national league caught up to you. The Padres are significantly better than what they were last year and even two years ago. The Dodgers arr better even with the injuries than they were last year. The Mets are better than what they were last year. If Atlanta didn’t have all the injuries, they too would’ve been better because they had Chris sale added. The only team I could say that didn’t get better that made the playoffs that didn’t have more talent then 2023 was the brewers at the deadline when they were struggling, they had a chance to add a big player onto this team to try to put them over the top and regain the juice they had in April and May. They sat around and added Austin Hayes, which is just another Merrifield type guy who was not going to sufficiently change your season outlook. Frankly it was as ridiculous as thinking Castro was going to be good last year. and then this goes all the way back to when Rhys Hoskins got hurt, that was supposed to be a major player in your lineup. It gave you depth. Losing out on 26-30 HRs and 80 RBIs isn’t something you just have everyone else make up. You needed to replace it and you failed to do it in 2023 and 2024. as for the bullpen, this felt like because the offense didn’t do anything and kept the Mets in the game that the Mets were just waiting for Wheeler to leave the game because they knew they weren’t scoring off them. As soon as Wheeler left the game it was like a monkey off their back and getting to see anybody else but him. Offense allowing it to stay close allowed for the Mets to just hold out hope for when wheeler left the game
October 6, 20242 yr Philadelphia teams really do make it hard to stay a fan. Been a sports fan since ‘80 (12 years old) and it just seems for every championship, you get 20 years of misery.
