Loser needs to find a church slow-pitch softball league to pitch in.

Hard fought series with the Nationals. I'm way more worried about them than I am the Phillies the rest of the way. The good news is, they both have terrible managers who actually make Snit look good. While the hope is always to win a series, it's very tough to take 3 of 4 at Wrigley from a playoff Cubs team. I'm okay with a split, anything better is fantastic. Julio vs. Lester should be good, Fried vs. Alzolay is tough. Alzolay has only made 1 appearance and gave up 1 run over 4 innings to the Mets. Keuchel against Darvish on Wednesday gives us some great star power. No starter announce for us on Thursday but assuming Newk should be back by then? Would have been Folty's spot.

With Soroka only throwing 2 low stress innings yesterday, if he’s feeling alright, he’d be ready for Thursday easily. He basically just pitched a side session

Snit essentially said just after the game they wouldn’t throw him Thursday.

Motherfucker. Guess it’s a good way to save him some innings

It sounded like if he was feeling good they would still throw him Friday. Just not moving him up.

Kyle Wright called up. Dayton sent down

Snit..........is shit.

Earn it, motherfucker.

He's probably just gonna be the long reliever role.

Tomlin won't be available for a few days, and Newk is probably gonna slide in the rotation.

Did Jon Lester not lose to us that first game in the first series this year?

No. They led 4-2 when he left. We beat their Bullpen

No one gonna mention how the shift got that out? Or do we only complain about it here?

The shift is fucking stupid. Stats prove it doesnt make a big enough difference

That’s just not true

That’s just not true

I saw it on sportscenter last season when Arrieta was complaining about the Phillies shifting they showed stats. The Batting Averages vs Shift and not against Shifts we’re almost the same

There’s a reason why every team has moved to them...

It’s called follow the leader.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Look it up. It was like less that 5 points difference in batting average.

It evens out, you get a lot of outs you wouldn’t normally get but it cost you a lot of outs You would normally get
