Philadelphia Phillies 2024 Baseball Season

[Retroram52]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!! Castellanos homered to left center (365 feet), Bohm scored!!

 

[Retroram52]

Way to go Merrifield. A nice Dub to Center.

 

[Retroram52]

YES, Stubbie!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice. Added two more runs. The Phillies comin' back.

 

[Retroram52]

Pitching change. Keep adding runs at the Top of the Sixth!

 

[Retroram52]

Harper and Sosa still ofer today but Castellanos is 3 for 3.

 

[Retroram52]

Sanchez hangin' in there and still pitching the shut-out!

 

[Retroram52]

Soto relieves Sanchez. The shut-out continues!

 

[Retroram52]

KICK THEIR ASSES!!

 

[Retroram52]

Now our bats are back. Fourteen hits and two more runs. Schwarber singled to center, Merrifield scored, Stubbs to second. Then, Harper singled to center, Stubbs scored, Sosa to third. 6-0 Phillies.

 

[Retroram52]

Sosa is the remaining ofer.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh crap. Dominguez is in.

 

[Retroram52]

That's different. Dude got himself out of the side without destroying the shut-out.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it, there goes the Shut-out.

 

[Retroram52]

Our relievers just don't seem to get it!

 

[Retroram52]

Done!! Should have had a Shut-out for Sanchez but he gets the nice win anyways!

 

[Retroram52]

Except for the one error, Sanchez pitched well in there. Too bad he didn't get the shout-out.

 

[Retroram52]

Our bats looked really good yesterday. Schwarber nails the bomb for the first run. Then, Pache singled to left, Castellanos scored, Stott to second. That sequence was typical of the runs we did score. Perhaps the players really feed off what Schwarber does at the beginning of the order.

It's amazing how travel, long plane rides, and changes in scenery have negative effects on players abilities. Phils managed to salvage 2 of 6 on the road trip and still have the best record in MLB.

 

[Retroram52]

So true jvett, especially with the Phillies. They didn't adjust well after flying having no extra day for it before the Rockies series. They looked out of sorts and we both speculated they def looked like a team who stayed-up most of the night with some partying activities.

Then they just couldn't get going in the SanFran series. If they would have won that extra-innings scoreless affair with SanFran, the overall trip may not have appeared to be so bad.

The win yesterday will carry momentum back to Philly to open the series tomorrow with the Redbirds. They should be back to their dominant selves in Philly again.
