The change in lineup, in theory, did work. The guys just didn't execute. Personally, I don't think they should fuck with what worked for most the season but what do I know.
Saw Bowman say the Phils would have done the same thing in their clubhouse if the shoe were on the other foot. This is just a big nothing burger. It pisses me off that Arcia is being painted as some trash talking villain. Harper is an incredible player. I just think it's kind of shitty for him to stare down a guy multiple times, and make a scene of it intentionally. Let's be honest Arcia doesn't merit that kind of attention. He's virtually a nobody having a decent year but nothing special. Finishing with the throat slash was just pure trash.
100%. You would think Harper would be above this at this point in his life being a grown ass man. I could see this behavior if it was earlier on in his career. Because who doesn't act like an idiot in their early 20s.
All I can say is Harper is who he is. He's an emotional guy and never won a World Series. Just thought he had grown up more than that shit last night. He knew the Arcia thing was a big story and fed into it. It was WWE level shit. Bottom line we're lucky to even be playing game 4 today because of how shitty the bats have been in the first three. Even if Snit managed the game better last night I doubt we would have won. The bats have failed us once again for the second straight season in the NLDS. I don't understand it.
listening to Strider say that was very funny. Pretty sure he smirked at the camera Michael Scott style. I'm sure there were some idiots on twitter who thought he was serious.
The entire Philly fan base 100% believes he is being honest and referencing his time there in the playoffs
They do. Now they're rallying around that shit tonight. Already seen a sign saying "Sleep well Strider because it's going to be a lot louder tomorrow night."
I’m starting to believe again. Game 3 was always going to be tough. We’ve got the pitching advantage tonight and Game 5 is at home.
Comes down to the offense. This is supposed to be a historically good offense but half of the bats are black holes of late. Happened last year too. Wake the fuck up bats! Wake up you wooden ass holes!
Yup. Strider has dominated the Phillies the last 2 regular season then got his shit pushed by them in the playoffs. Not sure I'm confident in him. Offense needs to come alive and score 12
Tonight’s P2C: Oly despite the lefty on the mound With tonight’s special promotion sponsored by Quickrete, we’re guaranteeing at least one XBH by Oly, and if you like this post before first pitch you will receive one (1) HJ courtesy of Toby’s soft Jergens hand(s) if it doesn’t hit.
he threw 6 innings of 1 earned run ball saturday and got rocked last year because he was hurt and our idiot manager didnt pull him in time what world do some of you crybabies live in i swear
We should go with Murphy imo. While TdA did get that home run hardly anyone is swinging a good bat now. Id much rather load up on defense in the lineup and plan for a low scoring game with Strider pitching. This includes playing Pillar in place of Eddie, even if a righty was starting. Luckily a lefty is on the mound today so Pillar should be starting by default.
I'm going to suicide by cop(tegg) myself as an offering to the baseball gods. This team is done. They're going to come out like they don't give a shit just like they have the first three games. A season full of records will end tonight with Philly fans ironically chopping on our graves.
