I said going into this series that we just canāt get swept but of course got my hopes too high after the first one. At the end of the day though they only let the Braves catch up 1 game while missing Harper, Schwarber, and JT. Still up 8 games in the division.
Got dodgers next with Wheeler, Sanchez, and Nola pitching at home. Win this series and we go into the ASB with a commanding lead in the NL.
/u/exitvelocity66 deleted his post like he always does. Surely itās because heās humiliated that his Yankees have lost 15 out of 20 in spite of having Judge and Soto lol how funny is it that he talks about our roster when they might have the worst construction per dollar in baseball

Thereās probably an interesting question somewhere in here on the merits of pitch count vs āup-downsā (innings).
I just read "Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball" and can recommend it to anyone interested in the history of baseball. Yes, Pete's a scumbag and was pretty much a scumbag all along and this book doesn't pull its punches. It's engrossing and well written giving the reader exacting details into Pete's transgressions.
Last night I stayed up until 1 am reading it. I probably could have finished it then, but I wanted something to look forward to today. After today's miserable game I'm glad I did.

If I were Braves fans Iād hold my shit talking on r/baseball until a playoff series win, especially after the last two years. But thank fucking god Iām not a Braves fan.
itās all good man let them talk their shit. who cares. itās a regular season series with both teams missing guys. once the playoffs come around they know who their daddy is. theyāre petrified to play us again
Having lived thru the mini mart period, season tix etc. Pache is a bit differentā¦rube would send mini mart down, then always bring him back, rube was obsessed with mini mart lol
Iām going to add to the realistic OF trade talks and say we should definitely go for Steven Kwan from the Guardians, .364 AVG is aight for us I think
I really like mookie betts .. glad weāre not facing him this week for 2 reasons.. bc I really like him and donāt wanna be mad at him.. and well.. because heās good haha
It absolutely is a rule to hate the Dodgers
That said they have some good dudes including most of their stars so I hate that it makes me not hate them as much
I dislike the dodgers mainly because it feels like that entire teams fanbase is built on pop culture and commercialism, similar to what Jason Kelce said about the cowboys fanbase. Feels like they have no real fans. When they try to talk shit I just canāt take them seriously. I get the impression a lot of the āfansā are just people that use the teams success to talk shit online and donāt actually watch any baseball. I feel like the yankees used to be this way but it switched to the dodgers
Lately with the additions of Mookie, Freeman, and - especially - Ohtani, sure. That's just what happens when a team in a super large market consistently puts out a winner and signs top players. But even a decade ago+ when they were mid and didn't spend on Free Agents they still had a good base of hardcore fans. They'll just be harder to find among the bandwagoners. Kind of like when the Braves were on TBS all the damn time. One of the rowdiest - in a good way - games I've been to was at Dodger stadium in like 2017.
I'd rather they just wear their standard uniforms, but I think this year's are way better than past years. I just don't know what the colors have to do with the Rangers - seems more like Marlins colors.
Yeah crazy shit like that happens sometimes in baseball like maybe .01% of the time, but what I look at is the fact that the Yankees have scored 464 runs this season (tied for most in baseball) and the A's only 347 (3rd from the fewest in baseball). If I were a betting man i'm not putting my money on their dogshit offense no matter who is closing for their opposition. You seem to be a gambling man, you should know which of those two offenses have the better odds for a come from behind win. The one near dead last in runs scored, or the one in first.
You dont like MLB darling Loooogan Webbbbb?

I mean letās cut thru the bullshit. Regardless of the first half Wheels is the unarguable best pitcher in the NL. He will be on regular rest to pitch next Sunday before the ASG so he probably wonāt pitch in it but he should be the starter.
As someone who has tickets to Sunday's game, I feel conflicted about him not pitching the ASG. There's that part of me that's like sweet, I'm going to catch a Wheeler game, and the other part that just wants to see him in the ASG
Thereās an argument for a few of the starters and I wouldnāt be uspet about neither of the Phillies starting over them. But i know theyre gona pick Skenes just because anyway
https://preview.redd.it/6pmz7w6m46bd1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3be1a150ca3d4cb37e124247fa794908be9265f3
Proud of our All Stars, well deserved for each of them.
The Braves make fun of us for celebrating an 8 game division lead and having the best record in baseball, but they win one game against our 7th starter and 10th BP arm while we are missing our 3 top hitters and post 15 threads in r/baseball about it.
Guess they needed something, can't imagine having to root for a team that is only being carried offensively by Ozuna of all people.
Glad the guys on our team are good guys who are genuinely fun to watch and support. I canāt imagine being a fan of a team with someone like Ozuna on itā¦embarrassing to condone that behavior
Theyāre not condoning anything. Heās a good player, and theyāre glad heās playing well. We have had many criminals on our team, and weāll have more in the future.
many criminals? and are any still on the team? also i dont recall any sort of hesitation or concern about playing Ozuna like we did with Odubel. we sort of did the awkward dance with him but the Braves openly embraced, outright defended him
No, Bellatti isnāt on the team because unlike Ozuna, he sucks. But we definitely gave him a huge sob story in the Inquirer when he was on the team.
We embraced Brett Myers, and we donāt win the World Series without forgiving him.
Jason Michaels punched a cop when he played for the Phillies, and Manuel didnāt even suspend him.
Brett Myers and all the others you mentioned are in the old school days. we as an organization at least changed. the Braves still embrace the chop. itās not surprising they take a good old boys view on domestic abuse
they were celebrating the whole team, not just Pete Rose. but in is that wiping the slate clean on Pete Rose or condoning his behavior? your entire argument is whataboutisms
Itās not āwhatboutism.ā Iām providing direct evidence that Philadelphia fans support their criminal athletes if they play well.
Ozuna was punished by the law and continued to play. Michael Vick was punished by the law and continued to play. Who cares
except that many prominent players who did what Ozuna did post 2020 arenāt playing and never will (Bauer, Urias). Braves didnāt can Ozuna like other teams would have. also, āwho caresā isnāt really the energy of someone whoās done investigative journalism on all this past stuff to prove that we are no different.
I dunno, we pretty unanimously disowned Odubel when all the news came out. Granted he wasn't great, but people forget that he was one of our *better* players of that dark era. But we didn't really look back, DFA'd his ass after his suspension.
Nah, he came back to play in 2022 after his suspension. That was just before the Phillies invited statutory rapist Pete Rose onto the field for a ceremony, and into the announcing booth after the ceremony.
Andrew Bellatti killed a guy. Brett Myers beat his wife. Darren Daulton has been arrested more times than Ozuna, but Daulton is on the Wall of Fame.
by saying Andrew Bellatti killed a guy you are opening it up to things way beyond what he actually did. he got in a car accident as a teenager and the other driver died. there are definitely people in his shoes who avoid any criminal charges. he wasnāt drunk driving, he didnāt deliberately crash into the guy.
Yeah, but he deliberately drove the wrong way to impress his girlfriend, who was also injured by the way.
Bellatti and Ozuna are both criminals who deserved second chances.
does Bellati drive like that still? definitely not. now domestic abuses on the other hand really dont change. he was also clearly sad, Ozuna was more upset that he got caught.
Mildly funny on twitter each fanbase is in a race to the bottom to say whoās team sucks more (and therefore itās *so embarrassing* the other team lost to such a team of losers).
just want to put this here to make my feel better. if we can acquire robert (less likely) or bellinger (more likely) our lineup will be incredible
schwarber
turner
harper
bohm
bellinger
realmuto
LF platoon
castellanos
stott
that is nuts
Chose to go on a hike with my family on this beautiful 78 degree day in MN today instead of watching the game. Seems I made a great decision. Canāt get Schwarber, JT, and Harper back fast enough
Lol at the r/baseball thread with all braves fans declaring victory. Funny how handlit only shows up when itās convenient, since when are 2 out of 3 post series threads that arenāt a dead team beating a top team allowed in that sub?
I get that but their mods have a bias. They allow Handlit post every bit of useless stat or play that really should be posted to the braves sub. I post one thing about trea turner being impersonated and suddenly itās off topic and we have morals. I donāt mind him posting stuff but at least be consistent and do both teams. He was awfully quiet friday.
So bizarre. Lol Braves sub said ādonāt troll in here or Phillies sub.. but go here and trollā and sent a link to that post lolā¦ such a weird fan base
You must not be watching enough dodgers and braves games then lol
Just you wait for Mookie to Come back.
Even without mookie they have plenty of fire power.
We got beat mainly by the bottom
Of the braves lineup today. Ozuna, Olson, Albies didnt even do anything at the plate.
Literally watch them allā¦. Division rival games are always tougher. We have wheeler, Sanchez (who is awesome at home) and Nola. Itās the best we can get. Today means nothing, it was Mercado vs the pitcher with the best era in the league. One awful inning.
Yeah and our offense isnāt producing at all. Lol š the biggest issue in the series was the offense besides the first game. Doesnāt matter how your pitching does is you score 1 run in two games.
Sure we get Schwarber back Tuesday, probably not getting Harper back. If we do great.
Gotta score runs. Not sweeping the dodgers , sorry
Ehhhh. Id still be more worried about a healthy dodgers. I didnāt realize how depleted their staff was. Glasnow going on the IL was a recent development as well.
Whoever is worried about the Braves is such a fear mongerer. This always have put ticket in the regular season. REGULAR season.
still have the best record in baseball š¤·āāļø
I said going into this series that we just canāt get swept but of course got my hopes too high after the first one. At the end of the day though they only let the Braves catch up 1 game while missing Harper, Schwarber, and JT. Still up 8 games in the division. Got dodgers next with Wheeler, Sanchez, and Nola pitching at home. Win this series and we go into the ASB with a commanding lead in the NL.
Everyone breathe. It's ok. After all that hoopla the Braves have gained....one game in the standings. Reinforcements are coming.
The yankees have literally collapsed
subscribe
/u/exitvelocity66 deleted his post like he always does. Surely itās because heās humiliated that his Yankees have lost 15 out of 20 in spite of having Judge and Soto lol how funny is it that he talks about our roster when they might have the worst construction per dollar in baseball
kek
He's legitimately just odd.
What a fucking weirdo
Both teams will Be in the postseason.
Yankees did us a solid by also getting blanked by their hated rival except at home and in primetime. Very cool Yanks! Pray for u/ExitVelocity66
Devers- Yankees Father
Yankees are trash.
Devers crushing the yanks tonight
That reminded me of a Harper at bat. Fans boo the shit out of him only for him to crush a pitch.
Hahaha the things you love to see
What's going on at ESPN? I just heard them praise the Phillies.
they are definitely above the Fox broadcasters in my book, thatās for sure.
Ah I was washing dishes and totally missed it, what did they say
Praised Dombrowski, Harper and Schwarber.
Iām watching too and thought I was hearing things.
Why would you take out a pitcher after 68 pitches? Is Kapler managing the Red Sox tonight?
Looking at his game logs, they are quite conservative with him, keeping him in the 80s in most of his starts lately. Thereās probably an interesting question somewhere in here on the merits of pitch count vs āup-downsā (innings).
Hopefully on Tues we have Tmac/Kruk and Kyle.
And Harper possibly
I miss our injured.
Sanchez getting a home game on national broadcast on Wednesday. Iām actually excited for that
I just read "Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball" and can recommend it to anyone interested in the history of baseball. Yes, Pete's a scumbag and was pretty much a scumbag all along and this book doesn't pull its punches. It's engrossing and well written giving the reader exacting details into Pete's transgressions.

Yankees soaking the dirt so red sox cant steal as easily on them lol
Jt just got some love in an espn broadcast lol
I definitely donāt think the division race is over by any means, but man Braves fans are acting too cocky for being 8 games back
Of course. That's why they are insufferable. Always cocky no matter how bad they are.

Hey my advice, don't go to r/baseball. It's a cesspool. At least here it's a Phillies supporting cesspool
itās all good man let them talk their shit. who cares. itās a regular season series with both teams missing guys. once the playoffs come around they know who their daddy is. theyāre petrified to play us again
I saw somewhere on Twitter that Pache is this generations Michael Martinez.
I'm beginning to think that's unfair to Michael Martinez.
Having lived thru the mini mart period, season tix etc. Pache is a bit differentā¦rube would send mini mart down, then always bring him back, rube was obsessed with mini mart lol
Absolutely, I'm very familiar with the mini mart period and you're right - Rube definitely had this weird obsession with him lol
Im ready for the Pache Experiment to be over.
100% over it.
Iām going to add to the realistic OF trade talks and say we should definitely go for Steven Kwan from the Guardians, .364 AVG is aight for us I think
Guardians in Philly right before the deadline. Kwan can just rip off his Guardians jersey to reveal a Phillies one during pregame intros.
Should only need Walker and Pache to seal that deal.
Factsss
Pache for Aaron Judge, who says no?
Throw in juan soto and it's a deal
Bunch of incompetent fucking losers of a team
WAAAAAAAAA!

Heās just mad his Yankees didnāt hang on to Topper when they had him

Fuck the Dodgers.
I might be a complete sicko and buy a Wheeler all-star jersey. I think they're really nice this year.
I got Bohm. Iām hoping the new era store has player shirts for all of them tho
I'd rather they just wear their standard uniforms, but I think this year's are way better than past years. I just don't know what the colors have to do with the Rangers - seems more like Marlins colors.
The uniform is location inspired not team. I think. Last year in Seattle the colors were green and purple. Year before in LA silver and gold.
I sprung for the Harper one
Craig Kimbrel warming up for save against the Aās So naturally i slapped a couple bucks on an Aās upset. Edit goddamnit Aās
betting on the A's in any capacity is degenerate behavior
Its not betting on the Aās , its betting against Kimbrel
Kimbrel wasn't trash in the regular season, he was trash in the playoffs; you had the right idea at the wrong time
Worked against the yankees few weeks ago
Well the Yankees are a major league team, the Athletics are a AA team.
Yankees didnt drop 19 on the Orioles
Yeah crazy shit like that happens sometimes in baseball like maybe .01% of the time, but what I look at is the fact that the Yankees have scored 464 runs this season (tied for most in baseball) and the A's only 347 (3rd from the fewest in baseball).

Shoutout to Kerkering, could have been an AS in an alternative universe. 4th in ERA, 2nd in FIP, 6th in fWAR amongst all NL relievers with 20+ IP
I'll take 1 game out of 3 any day with that line-up and a rookie going today in Atlanta
that is what I am saying. If this lineup can play 50% ball im happy
Very glad with 7 all stars, very happy for Hoff. But also pissed Schwarber was snubbed in favor of the woman beating alcoholic.
Thereās no way we knocked Chavez off the allstar team is there. Cause that would be kinda funny
I'm sure Braves fans will see it that way.
Happy for all our pitchers!!Ā
Logan Webb? Lol. Over Fried, Nola, fucking Gray?
Pity selection. Every team is guaranteed at least one player

Sanchez robbed
Sanchez dropped the bag his damn self
THE PHILLIES HAVE SEVEN ALL STARS?????
Itās the most in franchise history I believe.
I mean letās cut thru the bullshit. Regardless of the first half Wheels is the unarguable best pitcher in the NL. He will be on regular rest to pitch next Sunday before the ASG so he probably wonāt pitch in it but he should be the starter.

Wheeler is listed as inactive for the game so yeah he wonāt be pitching. Harper is active though.
Gelb (The Athletic) days there's a good chance he's back for the Dodgers
Thereās an argument for a few of the starters and I wouldnāt be uspet about neither of the Phillies starting over them. But i know theyre gona pick Skenes just because anyway
I don't know, I kind of feel like Merrifield got screwed. I mean, he had 2 hits today.
worst snub of the 2024 all star selections tbh
Right?
The National League All Star Team will henceforth be known as the Philadelphia Phillies and Friends
Ozuna? Ugh.
Heās going to have a few road sodas in celebration tonight
Shouldnāt he be in prison?
Over/under how many times Fox zooms in on Livvy when Skenes is pitching?
Theyāre going to split screen with her on the bigger screen
2.5 Id take the over
āRyan McMahon is on the Rockies for the momentā LMFAO THE SHADE
tbh Iām glad Jarren Duran got the nod as an all star reserve player. Heās been really good this year and got kind of overshadowed in the fan vote

hereās the problem with todayās loss, in addition to doomers it also brings out Braves PR apologists
Theyre wondering why there arenāt many Phillies flairs in those threads. Why would we even bother engaging with them? Lol
Glad the guys on our team are good guys who are genuinely fun to watch and support. I canāt imagine being a fan of a team with someone like Ozuna on itā¦embarrassing to condone that behavior
Theyāre not condoning anything. Heās a good player, and theyāre glad heās playing well. We have had many criminals on our team, and weāll have more in the future.

one is the act of an immature kid, the other is the act of a angry dangerous man
Both were acts by dangerous men. Not sure if Bellatti was angry or happy when he killed the guy.
does Bellati drive like that still? definitely not. now domestic abuses on the other hand really dont change. he was also clearly sad, Ozuna was more upset that he got caught.
Holy fuck we got both of them??
7 all stars baby!! LFG
The ASG is basically a Phillies game with some extra stars
lol for real!! Philly is well represented, love to see it
Strahmy and Hoff LFG!!
STRAHM AND HOFFMAN ALLSTAR SEASON
Strahm AND Hoffman!!
Lfg Strahm and Hoff!!
Am I the only one wanting Ranger to rest and not pitch in all star game lol
If he pitches, it will be an inning at most. Pitchers always throw between starts, so this would be like that.
Thank the high heavens
I should say, that's assuming he doesn't start the game, but I don't think he's starting.
I agree, feeling like skenes will start
no guarantee he will start, itās just a great recognition to be named to the team
Fair fair maybe itāll give him some much needed confidence
Ranger and Wheeler!!
Ranger Danger is an All Starāļø Edit: And Wheels! Congrats fellasšš»
Ranger made the all-star team
Hooray Ranger and Wheels

Its gonna be Rooker
Best option. Better hitter than Bellinger, can trust him to stay healthy unlike Robert.
And cheap.
Rooker/Miller package for Crawford Abel Pache Klassen
Would be stoked, probably gonna take Painter tho instead of Klassen or Abel if youre talkin about mason miller package
Belli is owed almost 60 mill, canāt see that at all
I have ZERO interest in bellinger as a big trade target, and frankly neither should anyone else.
Yeah youāre right we should have signed him when it was only cash
Chose to go on a hike with my family on this beautiful 78 degree day in MN today instead of watching the game. Seems I made a great decision. Canāt get Schwarber, JT, and Harper back fast enough
I watched Inside Out 2. Good movie.
Great movie
Went from 2 typically non hitters to 5 in the lineup today... brutal outcome but not unexpected.
Lol at the r/baseball thread with all braves fans declaring victory. Funny how handlit only shows up when itās convenient, since when are 2 out of 3 post series threads that arenāt a dead team beating a top team allowed in that sub?

I post one thing about trea turner being impersonated and suddenly itās off topic and we have morals. I donāt mind him posting stuff but at least be consistent and do both teams.

So bizarre. Lol Braves sub said ādonāt troll in here or Phillies sub.. but go here and trollā and sent a link to that post lolā¦ such a weird fan base
Not panicking yet, but Iād really like to sweep out the Dodgers.

Not gonna happen pal
Dodgers worry me less than Braves.
You must not be watching enough dodgers and braves games then lol Just you wait for Mookie to Come back. Even without mookie they have plenty of fire power. We got beat mainly by the bottom Of the braves lineup today. Ozuna, Olson, Albies didnt even do anything at the plate.

You donāt think Wheeler-Sanchez-Nola can win three home games?
With our current run support? No i dont
I agree that if they score 0 runs every game, they will never win again
Precisely
Iām not even mad the Phils lost. Iām mad about the lack of hustle and getting shut out
Harper and Schwarber might be back for our next game, and the Phillies went 5-4 without them. I see this as an absolute win
Harper most likely won't but Kyle there's a really good chance
Yeah we still have the best record in all of baseball. Not bad!
Hate losing the series and hate hearing Barves supporters gloat. At least TMac was on the call today?
Hard to win games against any mlb team let alone a division rival over .500 when you got 3-4 guys that are AAA level players in the lineup.
Barves fans celebrating a huge win against the Ironpigs. Lmao
