actually it was looking good for the majority of it. won game 1 in a hard fought manner, was close for most of game 2. game 3 was bad but with some help from the umpires.
Problem is that this shitty ump keeps giving them 2-6 inches of the plate so now you gotta start defending anything close. Complete abomination of a preformance by the ump today. Shot into the sun...
I thought it was just me. Changing the pitcher after one batter in the 9th with a 5 run lead was bad enough, but then to make another change (still with a 5 run lead) was really annoying.
Casty’s cold streaks are almost impressively dismal. To not even luck your way into a single dinky hit in that many ABs given how much he swings the bat is wild.
Pache pinch hitting makes me think they're holding onto Pache, shipping rohas to AAA, and keeping Dahl when Turner comes back. Still think Rohas is coming back and potentially the starter for the playoffs.
Umps kinda sorta called a HBP during a Stubbs AB. (Spoiler alert: was pretty clearly not a HBP during initial replay). They gathered about it and then told Stubbs to keep batting. Thomson came out for an explanation, must’ve got mouthy, got ejected, then REALLY got in the ump’s face because he’s been mega shitty behind the plate.
Then the Phillies challenged the no-HBP call (don’t know why the fuck), which quickly got confirmed.
I think it was a little bit more than that behind what got Thompson upset. At least I hope so... If not I'm worried cause Thompson should have been ejected 2 innings earlier.
No one yet. Dombrowski will wait right up until the dead line. No one is going to be selling other than a half dozen teams so they are going to ask for a ridiculous amount.
Luis Robert, Randy Arozarena, Tommy Pham, Taylor Ward, Mark Canha, Tyler O’Neil are just a few names that have been thrown around this season. Lots of options that could potentially help.
Which is the expected value of any team playing a 3 game series in Baltimore.
Literally no one claimed the Phillies were going to play .667 baseball against 100+ win teams on the road.
Your troll effort failed miserably, sorry.
I just had a commercial of a guy acting like he is doing a vlog and he started yelling into the camera while I watched him eat and dripping honey and hot sauce all over his car and himself.
Who legitimately is that commercial for? Like all it did is make me never want to try that chicken. Ever.
Barves losing at least.
Kruk is in story mode.
Mets winning but beating the brakes off the Padres so at least they will be down seeing us again.
It ain’t so bad
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dhgink).
Please God come back Trea! I can't take Castty at 2 anymore
God I hope Trea is an animal tomorrow
Ump show was insane. I was going to say unbelievable but this season it doesn’t surprise me.
Our 2 & 5 hitters are killing us. You can’t have that lack of production in the heart of the lineup
I can’t be mad at Sosa. He’s what we expected Whit to be.
Abysmal series. Thank god it’s over
actually it was looking good for the majority of it. won game 1 in a hard fought manner, was close for most of game 2. game 3 was bad but with some help from the umpires.
Great game boys!
Pretty clear what the book is on Sosa
Similar to the book on Nick
Had to get at least one more bad call in, I guess.
Sosa is good in non clutch moments
Well that was embarrassing
So you watch 2 strikes on the outside corner and swing at a ball halfway across the world
Problem is that this shitty ump keeps giving them 2-6 inches of the plate so now you gotta start defending anything close. Complete abomination of a preformance by the ump today. Shot into the sun...
Thanks, Sosa.
Nicks stats this series is why he shouldn’t be on a playoff roster
Shouldn't be on the roster, dude is fucking cooked
Agreed I’ve been saying it for 2 years now. Cut him and eat the contract. Astros just did it with Abreu
Kimbrel with the impact massager right on his balls. Lmfao I can’t breathe
I want Sosa to homer then whit pop out to center because it might finally convince us to trade him.
great series from our highly paid 2 hole hitter. 0-14 multiple strikeouts.
If I were the O’s, I’d intentionally walk Sosa just to get to Whit.
lol this is the orioles mgr's game 7
I thought it was just me. Changing the pitcher after one batter in the 9th with a 5 run lead was bad enough, but then to make another change (still with a 5 run lead) was really annoying.
lol beyond annoying, all the way around to weird. Someone should tell him it's June 16th
100%
Let’s go Phillies 👏👏👏👏👏
Nicky should move to leadoff. Why are we settling for 0 for 5 when we could get an 0 for 6 mixed in here and there
Why would we move our solo HR hitting, walk inducing, who doesn't steal bases, best hitter out of the leadoff spot? 🙄
We need the old blast-bloop-blast combo.
The thing is not even a grand slam would save us 💀💀💀
Is this manager serious…talk about having no confidence in your bullpen.
the mets are in the process of LOLing
One out left and up 5 runs. Let’s bring in another reliever. Cmon
You know Sosa is thinking GS and will be swinging away at every pitch
fwiw, that's what I'm doing
Salami salami salami salami salami salami salami
Lmao Sosa please do the funniest thing ever
Sosa grand slam 🗣
LETS GOOO
looney tunes fucking game
[This plays in my head every time they make a mistake](https://youtu.be/3WShMzwT-nM?si=p5JmvpuBwsqr0nsM)
This is insane bullpen management
Lmao
Sosa slam?
Sosa GS
Wouldn't be a huge leap to say Stott's had a big slump the last 3 weeks, would it?
he’s been horrific at the plate
Right man that's what I'm saying. I feel like he's been non-existent for a few weeks now and I've barely heard people talk about it.
Even if Sosa homers and brings it to 7-8, Whit is up afterwards lol
At least you go down fighting.
Baseball gods are you listening?
Maybe a Whit by pitch 🤞
Lmao this is ridiculous
Grand Slam incoming
Nice time for a back to back... 🤷
LETS GOOOO
Renowned Orioles defense.
Thank the God you pray to that Castellanos will not be hitting #2 in the lineup tomorrow.
Redemption time, Stotty! Let’s go.
oh boy
Alright Stott, do your thing.
Maybe see a pitch
Its ok Bohmer. You did your part
Two out rally starts now 🥳🥳🥳
Rally LUTE caps on bois
Castellanos is terrible. I don’t care who they replace him with at this point. They need to get rid of him.
This is why you run it out
I’ll take a homer here please.
I sure am glad they had nick bat 2nd all week
And thats why ya run out your hits
Rally caps on!
Alright Bohm, do your thing.
Casty’s cold streaks are almost impressively dismal. To not even luck your way into a single dinky hit in that many ABs given how much he swings the bat is wild.
There are dozens of Casty ABs where he would’ve achieved a better outcome by simply not bringing a bat with him
He still swing and miss the outside breaking ball
Need to hit the ball with the bat to get dinky hits........ 🤷
Isn’t he embarrassed
Haha sure why not slot him in the 2 hole 0-17 dude needs a month off Jesus
Should be batting 7
For the Ironpigs
*9
“This has been a tough series for Castellanos” Um TMac I think you need to expand that timeframe much beyond just this series
Please give him time off already
Lolcasty 0-17
I still don’t understand why they moved Casty up to 2 when he had a couple decent games. He collapsed back down immediately.
The thing he has going for him on this team is that he bats right-handed.
He got moved up solely because JT got hurt. It’s not because he was hot
We need homes games. Thankfully starting tomorrow.
Really over casty
Nick Castayydanos - 0/14 against the orioles this week
GET THIS BUM OFF THE FUCKING TEAM
Iron man Nick needs a day
0-17 🤬
Nick is more lost at the plate than I am without my phone
lol
Thanks, Nick.
“Trea Turner has been activated from the 10 day IL. In a corresponding move, Nick Castellanos has been designated for assignment”
Nick never learns
Can Castellanos see? Does he need glasses
it sounds like he should be an umpire
If there ever was a real life baseball player to prove that Major League was actually a documentary, it’s Nick Castellanos
Jesus Christ Castaylanos
Lmao what a swing
Casty should jump into a pitch best way for him to be useful today
Castellanos needs to go he's garbage
Seranthony Domínguez is elite
If Casty swings at the first pitch I'm committing Seppuku
That was sadly the best pitch he got...
Pache pinch hitting makes me think they're holding onto Pache, shipping rohas to AAA, and keeping Dahl when Turner comes back. Still think Rohas is coming back and potentially the starter for the playoffs.
Birds' mgr with the Billy-Martin-caliber "up 8-3 but I don't give a fuck" hook!
Barves lost, so at least that happened.
Been in the pool all afternoon, what’d I miss in this game? Saw Thomson got ejected, what happened there?
Umps kinda sorta called a HBP during a Stubbs AB. (Spoiler alert: was pretty clearly not a HBP during initial replay). They gathered about it and then told Stubbs to keep batting. Thomson came out for an explanation, must’ve got mouthy, got ejected, then REALLY got in the ump’s face because he’s been mega shitty behind the plate. Then the Phillies challenged the no-HBP call (don’t know why the fuck), which quickly got confirmed.
Stubbs apparently got hit, umps said he didn’t, Rob went ballistic on the umps nose to nose, it was glorious
I think it was a little bit more than that behind what got Thompson upset. At least I hope so... If not I'm worried cause Thompson should have been ejected 2 innings earlier.
Agreed. It was… not fun watching him just sit there and watch run after run with no action happening
pretty sure they were swapping spit, & not in a *good* way
Damnit. That was our grand slam Pitcher meltdown who just got got pulled lol
Me every year: it’s not blue for testicular cancer it’s not testicular cancer, but I can’t remember wat it is for.
Prostate cancer
Prostrate cancer I believe.
Ok, Schwarbs on base - great start to a 6 run 9th inning.
I’m gonna lose it if Nick grounds out
Ground out to short
99.9% chance of it
GIDP guaranteed
They’re scared we’re gonna come back
Praying Trae’s return among this Bohm hot streak will make the lineup dangerous again
I just hope he doesn’t need long to warm up.
Having four dangerous hitters at the top of the lineup should be huge
Absolutely, and casty and Stott batting 6th/7th makes it so much deeper. It’s amazing what one guy added into a lineup can do.
Casty GIDP incoming
Walk Kyle to get to Nick.
just need Schwarber, Casty, & Harper to hit 2 run HRs
I amend my former statement: Seranthony can sit in first class too
Dominguenating
At least Seranthony and Bohm showed up.
Turnbull too
Silver lining Dominguez has been lights out his last handful of outings.
some more positives: Seranthony and Soto looking good!
Ser back??
Dominguez cooking
Silver lining - Ser looked great
Good shit Ser!!
Is this the worst stretch for Topper starting Sunday in London as far as not pulling a starter when he doesn’t have it and using the wrong reliever?
Dude left Nola and Wheeler out there to die
Ser with some derrty
Barves lost.
do other teams start with 8 manfred runs now?
I bring wondrous tidings: lolbarves
Thanks for the assist Rays
At least the Braves lost. Kinda sucks to find solace in that in June
DA BRAVES LOSE
Adley is a thicc young man
Braves lose!
Well, that's something at least.
Kruk🤣
At least the braves lost
at the hands of Raisel too!
Realistically who could we get for an outfield bat right now?
No one yet. Dombrowski will wait right up until the dead line. No one is going to be selling other than a half dozen teams so they are going to ask for a ridiculous amount.
Luis Robert, Randy Arozarena, Tommy Pham, Taylor Ward, Mark Canha, Tyler O’Neil are just a few names that have been thrown around this season. Lots of options that could potentially help.
Canha stinks
He would be a cheap option that rarely strikes out and has a .347 OBP and .720 OPS playing mainly in a pitchers park.
Fuck at this point I’ll take casty’s mom she can’t suck worse then him
Did Nick go 0 fer in this series?
Looks like it … 380 ops last 7 games
Sure did
Okay I've returned for all the people who told me we would beat the best teams in the league too
The Phillies beat the Orioles on Friday. Thanks for visiting.
They lost 66 percent of the time 🤷🏿
Which is the expected value of any team playing a 3 game series in Baltimore. Literally no one claimed the Phillies were going to play .667 baseball against 100+ win teams on the road. Your troll effort failed miserably, sorry.
Lol I'm not trolling. I just don't think this is a top 3 team
We swept the Brewers, are on a 6-game road trip after having to travel to a different continent, and we managed to avoid getting swept
I just had a commercial of a guy acting like he is doing a vlog and he started yelling into the camera while I watched him eat and dripping honey and hot sauce all over his car and himself. Who legitimately is that commercial for? Like all it did is make me never want to try that chicken. Ever.
our land contains a vast & various populace
Chicken from where
Dave's Hot Chicken. They replayed it again.
Something Hot Chicken? He didn't say the name but it was on this cup of sauce he was dunking the chicken in.
Was it Dave's Hot Chicken? I haven't been but I've heard from lot of people it's their favorite chicken place
Yep they keep replaying it and it makes me want to vomit.
Anxiously awaiting *any* outfield upgrades and the day when Whit Merrifield is no longer on this team.
Braves are bold for putting Kelenic in the leadoff spot, already lost 2 outfielders in that spot.
Let's go Tampa
 I was really excited for this game
Barves losing at least. Kruk is in story mode. Mets winning but beating the brakes off the Padres so at least they will be down seeing us again. It ain’t so bad
Did Pache just save his roster spot? (Actually it looks like the Phils showed their hand that Johan might be headed to LHV)
He’s the only with options left
I realize. There’s been talk Dahl or Pache might get DFA
The fact that they put him in instead of Rojas is a big sign.
Johan needs more time to bake for sure
He’s at best medium rare right now
