Nola shut out @ Citi Field.  That's my prediction.

Idk my expectations for Nola in this game is that I don’t have any. He could be lights out like last year up until the dbacks game 6. He could just get lit up like after long breaks like atlanta the first week or right after the all star break or Mets that Friday night a couple weeks back.

So Walker should become a bench coach lol 

 

Credit to Walker for handling it that way.  It's easy for a fan to say they'd take $72m to cheer in the dugout...but it's got to be tough to stand tall in there and cheer for the team when you are embarrassed about your contributions.

Now, with that said, with the leadup that article had...I thought he was going to tell Castellanos something real...like a tell in the motion or to look out for something.  "I need something from you here" wasn't exactly make or break in the at bat. 😆

Motivational bench coach 

Even if Nola does come out and pitch a gem, our offense will lay an egg and we'll still lose

If he gets thru 7 with 3 earned runs allowed I’ll take it.

Feels like it’s going to come down to which bullpen holds up in the end

He is giving up at least 3 home runs

The last couple of years, in each series, there is a game where the Phillies just lay it on the opponent's starting pitching with a crooked number.....I'm feeling it this game and like in the 1st or 2nd inning.

3 solo HRs and nothing else works.

 we really have struggled in citi field over the years. Manaea has been good this year but the Phillies have hit him well over the years. Quintana has really been hard on the Phillies. We forget that 2022 run when he was with the cardinals he shut down the Phillies and it was the cardinals bullpen that imploded.

The one benefit that  Nola  pitching in citi Field is it’s not a Homerun  Park. That Park plays big. So he really should be able to keep the ball in the stadium. If he’s giving up home runs there then we are definitely losing this game.

This is what worries me 

 

Don’t love Bohm hitting 5th. Hays and Sosa both playing. i get it but i think Sosa’s chase rate is not good  

 

I am feeling this way, either the Phillies are gonna go out there and get blasted or they’re gonna somehow win a close game. I don’t think there’s gonna be any in between. Like I don’t think they’re a blow them out. And I don’t think the Mets are gonna win a close game. I think this comes down to either Nola just gets hammered by the Mets or the Phillies somehow pull out a close victory late

Certainly possible. Got lit up last time at citi field and his era with 6 or more days off is bad

We all know it's coming. Probably after one or two innings and then the floor drops out

Tbh 1st 3 innings is going to be big. If the Phillies can take the crowd away i think it bodes well for them. If the Mets get momentum and the crowd is allowed to just go into more of a frenzy we are likely getting blasted. 

ya feels like nola is going to snowball 

Well. There goes my prediction.
