Philadelphia Phillies 2022 Baseball Season

[Retroram52]

All right then, Nelson starts the Parade of Douchebag Pitchers. Let's see if he has improved at all since his last outing.

 

[Retroram52]

Typical Nelson still the Douchebag Pitcher giving-up run after run after run! Why we keep this douche is beyond me!!

 

[Retroram52]

Realmuto answers with the big homer and gets Bohm home as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Typical Bellatti. He gives-up a couple of runs. Again, I don't know why Bellatti, Nelson and maybe Hand-Job isn't reassigned.

 

[Retroram52]

Alvarado is in. Bellatti was on the same path as Nelson. The two of them should reassigned.

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin Knebel.

 

[Retroram52]

Knebel is back to walking batters with no outs. He does this routinely and he just can't get past the notion that you don't do that because it puts you and the defense in an immediate hole.

 

[Retroram52]

This Douchebag is going to fool around and give-up a homer with no outs and suddenly we are walking the edge of losing.

 

[Retroram52]

The Phillies should bring-out the new closer and sit Knebel before he effs-up this in-the-bag win.

 

[Retroram52]

GET HIM OUTTA THERE!!! THE BASES ARE JUICED WITH ONE OUT!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Good grief that was close.

 

[Retroram52]

So the Bitches lost again to the Mutts and now with this win, we are only 4 back of the Bitches. Onward we go tomorrow for Game 4 and I hope a complete sweep of this series. We are 9.5 back of the Mutts and if we keep playing like this we may be able to catch at least The Bitches and maybe the Mutts.

Three 58-48 teams. It appears that STL has an edge with 29 games vs .400 slackers, CIN, PIT, CHI, and WSH, plus 6 with .431 COL. No place for Dildoes in the final 56.

One of them is the division leader. It just displays it as a 3 way tie.

 

[python3]

Good for him.

He got hit in the hand last night, attempting a bunt. Probably done

Damn, that sucks. After they lost that game with 7 solo homeruns someone probably got in the managers head about small ball or some shit and look what happens

 

[Retroram52]

Hall is back on track with another homerun!

 

[Retroram52]

Castellanos walks as Abbott continues to get hammered by our offense.

 

[jvett77]

Wow that is a lot of money. I guess they did win the World Series in 2019 but he looks like he's done

Then, look at Strasberg. He’s back on the IL again this year. They had signed Strasburg to a $245 million extension that runs through the 2026 season. He's owed the balance of a $35 million salary for 2022, and then will make $35 million in each of the following four seasons. They’ll be in the hole forever.

 

[Retroram52]

Stubbs is playing today in the place of Realmuto, obviously.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea jvett. It looks like the pattern with everyone is if you give a monstrous contract to a given player, they often just crap-out. Seldom does a player get better or explode into the stratosphere. Seldom does a player that "gets paid" reflect the worth of the contract unless your name is Aaron Donald in pro football.

Back in baseball with the Phillies, look where Castellanos was headed until some trade (and his wife apparently) got his attention. Only recently has Bryce Harper started to play-up to his salary level. And he is hurt. So this is definitely a case of buyer beware!
