[TheSnowdog]

Let’s go Clemens

 

[TheSnowdog]

Damn it

 

[Cedrique]

Back for the Winter meetings I guess.......

 

[DJ Fieri]

What happened, @Retroram52?

 

[Four4Four]

Retrorram52, ur the real MVP for keeping this board running. Give yourself a patio on the back sir.

 

[Four4Four]

I'll will only bring back Harp and Schwarber on the offensive end.

 

[TheSnowdog]

I'll will only bring back Harp and Schwarber on the offensive end.

And Turner

But ffs put Turner in lead off
Put Schwarber in clean up or maybe 5th
I don’t know but just take him out of lead off

How do Phils explain this and worse, how do Phils correct it?

4-game NLDS. Phils (.172 BA) vs Mets:
Schwarber 2-16
Turner 2-15
Harper 4-12
Castellanos 7-17
Bohm 1-13
Realmuto 0-11
Stott 2-11
Marsh 0-8
Hays 0-3
Sosa 1-4
----------------
19-110 = .172

In the 4 games, Schwarber, Turner, Bohm, Realmuto, Stott, and Marsh hit less than .100 or 7-74 (.094).

This is truly pathetic

The Phillies have no catalyst
No one that stirs the pot so to speak who gets under the skin of the opposing team

Like a Dykstra or a Victorino

Turner might be able to be that guy but he doesn’t seem to have that irritating aspect
Great player but not a player that the opposing team wants to plunk just for being up at the plate

The Phillies are a bunch of choir boys

[Retroram52]

What the hell are you smoking? Castellanos and Harper are the only reason this postseason hasn't been a complete embarrassment.

I think weed smoking is your department Cedrique!

Harper, like Castellanos are done in Philly. Both have done little in the last couple of games of the regular season and certainly in this series with the Mutts. Time for some young blood and getting Schwarber some help going forward.

This time, Harper can't come through, and Phillies' season is on life support

The Phillies are in danger of moving backward for the third straight postseason, needing two straight wins to avoid ending the year in bitter disappointment.

Did you even read the article or are you like the usual Cedrique making proclamations on your own??

Just go down that list and nearly every one of these overpaid bastards disappeared in the latter part of the season and def in the playoffs. They didn't want to go any further than the Mutts series. It was evident in the latter part of the season losing many series they could have easily won.

 

[Retroram52]

Another factor that doomed the Dildoes in the latter part of the season and this series against the Mutts.

The Mets can prematurely cancel Red October Wednesday with one more victory over the Phillies.

Man those stats are mind blowing! I the bats get tight in the postseason, but damn

No swag on this team. I believe the Phils had a chance to get Jazz Chisholm before the yanks got him. He would have been perfect for this choir boys.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn straight, Four4four. Dombrowski and that idiot Thomson did little after acquiring Hays. Chisolm would have been a very good addition.

Also, when Charley was around, he lit a constant fire under the Players that motivated them to be good in the Post Season.. Not Thomson. Just keeps his mouth closed and sits there.

Yeah I read the article and I'm not sure how you read it and came away with the conclusion that Castellanos and Harper are done in Philly. And by the way you should trust my "proclamations" a lot more than most of the clowns writing articles on yahoo and bleacher report and any other internet site.

See you in 2025, (when Harper is still on the team)

I disagree, retro. Harper was 4-12 (.333) with 5 BBs. Castellanos was 7-17 (.411) with no walks. The only guys who really showed up ready to play. The Mets pitched around Harper because they feared him. Trouble is, nobody stepped up when he was on base, the main guys in the lineup hitting less than .100 as shown in the stats. The guys in front of the two were zeros as were the guys behind them. It has to be a team effort. I'm dumb founded as to why the rest of the team could not hit.

 

[eaglesnut]

Everybody trying to hit homeruns
Nobody trying to hit singles

The offense can't work in the post season like that. We made every Mets pitcher look amazing.

The Mets really deserved this one and humiliated this Phillies crew. Hope that lights a fire for next year.

 

[jvett77]

I think the Phillies have had their shot with what seemed to be good starting pitching and seemingly solid lineup despite the second half decent from horses into sheep. Next year, they'll go nowhere. Sounds harsh, but nope, they will not recover and get any better for the next few years as age becomes a factor. They've simply proven they are losers even after an exciting first half. As has been said above, they're like choir boys, no swag, no attitude, no fight, etc. Maybe they need a skilled, egotistical Black or Latin player with an axe to grind.

With the Phillies losing, I've just about lost interest in the playoffs. Mets - Yankees seems like a good bet for the WS. San Diego and Detroit could be in the mix if I'm thinking about upsets.
