NL East smack talk

[Xeliou66]

Goddamn it, Devers with a walk off dinger, total bed shitting by the Braves bullpen

 

[bksballer89]

Can’t lose that game

Oh fuck!

 

[Xeliou66]

Bravos up 2-0 early, Baldwin comes through again with an RBI hit

 

[Xeliou66]

Shit, Devers hits a grand slam, he’s killing us. 4-3 Sox lead the Braves now

 

[Xeliou66]

Clutch hit by Riley to tie the game at 4, good game today

Mick Abel making his MLB debut today. 8 Ks and 5 hits. No earned runs through 5.

Final line was 6.0 innings 9 Ks (Phillies record in a major league debut). No walks. No earned runs. Phil’s up 1-0 trying to get Abel a win.

Braves win it 10-4 and take 2 of 3 at Fenway, should’ve been a sweep but we choked last night

Phil’s held on. Skenes of the Pirates is the real deal. He was still hitting 97 on the gun in the 8th inning. It’s a shame the Pirates aren’t a serious organization.

He has had an odd path. He was seen as a top 100 guy back in 2022. Then he struggled with control in 23 and 24 and he just dropped out of everybody’s plans. He’s been pretty good this year in the minors.

I’d like to see him play a role in the bull pen for the big club. Phil’s pen is really hurting for decent arms.

 

[Xeliou66]

Strider returning to the rotation and will start tomorrow, and Acuna should be back in a few days

Phillies back in first place. In fact, they have the best record in the National League. This is despite having bull pen issues. Kyle Schwarber is having a career start. He hit his 300th career HR last night. His OPS is .963 with 16 HRs and 36 RBIs.

He's striking out less than ever this year. His 21.2% K% is well below his career average (28.2%). It's not like he's rocking some high BABIP either, it's just .252 granted his career BABIP is .264. He's also brought the whiff rate down to 10.1%. If he can sustain those figures I think he's gonna finish with a career year

Contract year. I’ve been hollering for the Phils to resign him and not let him hit the open market.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Phil’s are taking care of business. 19-3 vs teams with a losing record. 7 in a row after today’s win. Also a 7 games series sweep of the Rockies. That’s the first time in team history they get a season sweep of a team when they’ve played 7 times or more.

Up 2 in the division. Weekend series in Sacramento vs the A’s.

He's back
