April is such a grind! A day off.. WTF! It’s the Dodgers, playing to win the series AND you have a day off tomorrow.
It would benefit
Yeah, at least an occasional out would benefit the team.
The manager is in mid-season form. Let's bring in the 15.75 ERA guy to pitch in another high leverage situation.
Great win for the Phillies, a very entertaining game. I caught the big LA inning and then the Phillies comeback. Well done, good win. Harper with two hits, you can thank me.
Very very satisfying win, to come back and shut them down in 8 and 9 is huge!!!
So Corky Romano once again was lit up like a Christmas tree. I count 4 appearances and 7 runs given up so far this year. That’s an ERA of about 16, but I’m sure the advanced analytics like him better. (Sarcasm)
Man, great win today. It was far from perfect, but I loved seeing them rally and keep fighting. It's early, but I like what I'm seeing so far.
Yeah, this probably needs it's own thread. It's super annoying. I'm sure there is some kind of ad blocker that will fix it, but I haven't looked into it yet.
I cannot watch him pitch, and not because he has been doing bad. His delivery and him yelling at himself just irritates the hell out of me. Then when he doesn't get a call he gives a stare. You had 1 and half good seasons, you are not good enough to be acting that way.I can tell him right now, no need for tapes, you suck!
I know he was a good prospect, but Sanchez has come a long way over the past year. He still has his moments, but he solidifies this rotation.
Next up the Braves. The Phils could put them in a very big hole early in the season if they win that series.
My hunch is that Sanchez’s development has them feeling ok about letting Ranger walk after this season. That and Painter.
The Phillies may have just shown the league how to pitch to Ohtani. 1 for 11 with 5 K’s is impressive. Kudos to the advance scouts, assuming it was their work that went into the game plan for him.
Ohtani also looks like he has an issue with his right arm/elbow. Don’t know how much this affects his swing.
He has had two UCL surgeries on the same elbow and surgery on his left shoulder for a torn labrum. Having him pitch again is a crap shoot IMO and perhaps bullpen sessions are irritating that elbow?
Well the wackiness of sports blackouts continue as the Phillies are blacked out for me on friggin TBS!!!l Luckily, because of free MLB Extra Innings, I can get the game on a little screen on the multi game view channel. Can’t make this crap up
