Philadelphia Phillies 2025 Baseball Season

[Retroram52]

Hernandez gives-up a homer.

 

[Retroram52]

End of 8th Inning and the Phillies lead 11-5.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Marchan is getting some playing time.

 

[Retroram52]

Game over. Phillies are 2-0.

 

[Retroram52]

I suppose the Phillies are doing their oft-used MO on Sunday games. They look asleep. Marchan in for Realmuto and Bohm 0ofer.

 

[Retroram52]

Nola has been struggling early on as well.

 

[Retroram52]

It is lookin' more and more like the Phillies are just takin' this one off.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. Now it is official. Phillies dow 0-5 as Nola gives-up more homers.

 

[Retroram52]

Game over. Typical Phillies taking the game off and the loss because it is Sunday I suppose.

I haven’t seen any games until today (Colorado - I live in the Denver area) so most of my sample size has been box scores

Overall Phillies are playing well as they should be against the bottom feeders like Washington and Colorado

With the exception of Aaron “shit the bed” Nola starting pitching has been solid

Relief pitching has been so-so

And hitting has been feast or famine

In short it looks like this is a carbon copy of last year which makes sense since they did not make any major changes and we all know how that turned out last year
Oh I forgot though the “Daycare is closed”

Hitting goes through stretches in the game where they look lost

I would like to see the offense put more pressure on opposing pitchers throughout the game from the start

The good news is they are 3-1 and should sweep the Rockies but the Dodgers are looming and that will be a good litmus test even early on in this season

 

[Retroram52]

Phillies come back against Colorado. We are tied with the Marlins at 3-1. Looks like the Phillies may bolster our already decent bullpen with another potential trade for a Lefty Reliever.

Phillies Trade Pitch Lands Three-Time $75 Million All-Star

A new trade pitch has the Philadelphia Phillies trading for St. Louis Cardinals three-time All-Star Sonny Gray.

Nice win.

Phillies explode for 3 late homers to send 45,000 home happy in Game 1 at The Bank

The Phillies trailed late but again exploded once the opposing bullpen entered to win an entertaining home opener, 6-1.

[TheSnowdog]

Phillies up 2-0 on the Rockies in the 2nd game of the series against Colorado

They manufactured the scoring with good base running by Schwarber

Wheeler pitching well as usual

 

[Cedrique]

Damn, Freeland struck out murderer's row

 

[TheSnowdog]

Fuckin Phillies

Bottom of fifth they load the bases with nobody out and the neat of the order coming up - Harper. Bohm, and Schwarber and those 3 go down meekly - all striking out

 

[Cedrique]

Come on Bryce get with the program. That ball is outta here if he used a torpedo bat.

 

[Retroram52]

Phillies up 3-1 in the 8th.

 

[TheSnowdog]

I think Strahm had more pitches thrown in that one inning than Wheeler threw the first 7 innings

 

[TheSnowdog]

Come on Bryce get with the program. That ball is outta here if he used a torpedo bat.

That torpedo bat reminds me of a product you would see on those late night infomercials

The “Ron Popiel” torpedo bat
But wait there’s more….
Included with your torpedo bat is the one and only veggie-matic

 

[Retroram52]

Turner started today and he was lead-off. Did well. Schwarber is midpack. I think Schwarber might like that a bit better. I don't why, but Wheeler just seems to serve at least one homer nearly every time he pitches in the early going of the season.
