Thomson is def part of this problem and maybe it is time for him to go, Snowdog!

Everyone now knows that the Dildoes' bullpen is one of the major problems as they continue to lose leads especially in Innings 6-9.

Phillies' stunning slide continues with another bullpen collapse

Protecting leads has gone from one of the Phillies' greatest strengths to their biggest weakness since the All-Star break and the ominous trend continued Saturday in a sixth straight loss.

We hate the losing but let's not get too excited about this unfortunate turn in Phillies fortunes. Teams going cold over a few weeks in not normal but it happens and can't be explained. It happens. Look at the Yankees with their powerful lineup and good pitching. They also hit the skids in July, going 11-13 and have recently come back. Phils will recover. I'll put money on it.

I am parroting some sports pundits outside of Philadelphia, jvett. Peeps are always ahead of what is but we shall see. Usually extended performance negative results are beginning indicators of what IS happening internally. The Dildoes are beyond panic. They have some legitimate catastrophic problems they have yet to fix.

If the problem is large and deep (thus the term Dildoes), then you will see Thomson go. If it is periodic and superficial that fans want to believe, then there will be no worries.

It is indeed uncommon for a league-leading ballclub to suddenly go into a horrific tailspin that apparently has no end in the short term, but you and I know (being Phillies lifers) that this disaster is not temporary but symptoms of greater unresolved problem(s).

For sure, you know this. We have witnessed this before where the Dildoes don't recover and the season becomes an unmitigated train wreck. We have also seen them come-out of their funk and go on to better things.

If the latter becomes the norm, than the Dildoes will disappear and the Phillies will return. If the former becomes the norm, we are effed and the season is pretty much done.

Here we go again. 1-0 going into the 7th Inning and this is where the Dildoes lose the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Harper has decided to play but except for Schwarber and Harper, everyone else is ofer, stuck in Dildoes land. No offense leading to just one run. The Marinators have won the series so they are taking the Sunday off!

 

[Retroram52]

And Wheeler is still pitching.

 

[Retroram52]

Close. Maybe it is time for Wheels to get some relief. Maybe it is time to leave him in as long as he blanks the Marinators!

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Wheels is looking good enough to maybe go the distance. He has comeback well from that disaster where he gave up 14 runs.

 

[Retroram52]

Schwarber is the only player to get a homer today and it was in the First Inning.

 

[Retroram52]

O.K. Stott. Time to put your bigboy pants on and get out of the ofer category like the rest of the order.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, well, well!! Wonders never cease!! Stott gets a homer and we add an insurance run.

 

[Retroram52]

Stott homered to Right Center Field (404 feet)!!

 

[Retroram52]

The Dildoes have reached their runs total for the last several games. That being 2 runs. Time to close up shop for the day. lol!

 

[Retroram52]

I'd like to see Schwarber nail another homer!!

 

[Retroram52]

Close!

 

[Retroram52]

Good news is that the Bitches and the Indians both lost today so we aren't totally out of the picture, yet!

 

[Retroram52]

Turner got walked!!

 

[Retroram52]

Realmuto is still pathetic at the plate!! Ofer today.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's go Harper. Get Turner home!!
