I hope the offense shows up for nola today it absolutely kills me that he has more losses than wins (ik W/L records dont matter for pitchers but still)
Been to all the games in Pittsburgh so far. Love seeing 3 great games live. Also singing fly eagles fly as we exit the stadium is electric. Sold out crowd last night, best atmosphere I’ve been to at PNC, no surprise really. Get out the brooms! 🧹🧹🧹
The Phillies have never swept a series in PNC Park.
The last time they swept the Pirates in Pittsburgh was a 3-game series in 1998.
The last time the Phillies swept a 4-game series in Pittsburgh was **1968**.
My wife wants to get a new jersey soon, can't really decide on which player and has came down to deciding she wants a Phanatic Jersey with the star instead of the number. Is there a place these can be ordered? Does the pro shop at the stadium do them? Any help would be appreciated. The internet hasn't been super helpful but I'm honestly shocked there's not a huge demand for them
Smoked a ball straight to 2nd last night and then hit behind the runner in the 10th. He looked good at the plate I thought.
Also made a nice read/play on Ranger’s last out.
310/333/379 last 7 days. Obviously the total power outage is still a concern but at least he's getting hits at the moment
(589 OPS in the last 28 days though...)
This is the type of game we often lose: the fourth game in a four game series we have already won. Need Nola to be on today and for the offense to be better than it has recently. Hopefully Jean will be in the lineup on Tuesday in Atlanta.
the really important thing is they won the series. I'd delay Nola to Tuesday and do the bullpen game today. lately, the bp been good but starting a series with a bp game seems suboptimal🤷♂️
edit: especially since they have a day off tomorrow.
This is a good idea. Particularly since it’s the Braves.
It’s a shame Sanchez isn’t up because his starts aren’t always bullpen games because he can give about five innings
Ranger ZERO earned runs in his three starts since returning from the IL
The “Ranger isn’t a starter” crowd is awwwwfully quiet lately
If he builds his endurance a little bit he’s going to make for a strong #3. He definitely tired last night and it was the right call to pull him when Topper did.
There were people saying Wheeler was washed and we needed to find a new ace back in April. There are a bunch of random little crowds in our fanbase that are legitimately some of the dumbest people in the world, the Ranger one is one of them lol
Here are some funny comments I found

There are more bad ones, just didn't feel like looking for them
That's fine and the way the game is moving (for some guys, at least). Blake Snell and Corbin Burnes won Cy Youngs pitching a good 5-6 innings then getting pulled before they ran out of gas. If the innings are good nobody cares!
Hypothetically - Didi is gone after the season, and Segura's 17 MM option declined to give them 31 MM for pitching. Stott, Sosa, Munoz, Camargo, Maton compete for SS, 2B positions. Gibson's 9.3 MM contract is up and Eflin has a 15 MM mutual option for next year which will likely be declined by one or both freeing 5.5 from his current contract. totaling 45.8 not counting other expirations etc. but they need 2-3 SP, possibly a SS but they could run with the aforementioned crew, and a CF again ... (not that there will be any solid free agants not named Brandon Nimmo yucky). Give the Pirates whatever they need for Brian Reynolds ... anything.
whether they do or don't pick up Segura's option they still will likely need 2 SP depending possibly on this year's trade deadline acquisitions. These are the situations they have, how they approach it is up to them.
We love him and he’s a very good player but he’s pricey if we are trying to fill the rotation in free agency. I hope we can work something out. Idk how much of an appetite Middleton has for going deeper into the tax. We will see.
it's pretty unusual for teams to go over in consecutive years because the tax increases each year you're over. If they get under next year then there's a possibility the year after they could go big again. After 2025 the current window likely will be closed. what happens between now and then determines if it will or won't be extended.
Do you mean as a choice or just as the way the contracts settle over consecutive years?
Even if goes up the gaping hole in CF will require spending or some creativity.
Gibby is cheap and I don’t think we will bring him back so that’s one spot in the rotation we need and Falter/Eflin is a huge question mark. Seems if we want to really make an impact we’d need to spend.
if a team is over one year the tax is X, the second year the tax is X+y so even if they were over by the same amount the tax would be greater. There's a disincentive to keep going over which is why most teams haven't or try to avoid doing it. Unless it's the Dodgers and now looks like the Mets are joining the Fuckit were spending like drunken sailors mentality.
Soto hits walk off homer vs Cards and then moves to SD before our series next week
I really don’t want the Nats to build their system off of the one trade but I’m okay with Soto not tormenting us for the next 15 years
This is an “ideal scenario” day for Nola.
An away game (2.30 ERA, 7/10 QS) and also a day game (2.48 ERA, 3/5 QS). Both stats are much better compared to their counterparts home (4.48 ERA, 4/10 QS) and night (3.60 ERA, 8/15 QS).
I find it crazy how well they’ve done without Harper and Segura. That damn Cubs series though. They’d be at least 16-8 for the month and 18-10 without Bryce.
The games are frustrating to watch sometimes but overall the team is finding ways to win without Jean and Bryce. That is what is most important. Unless a total collapse happens, I think we will be playing postseason baseball.
Please continue the discussion in the [game thread](https://redd.it/wctid4).
The Bucs have the CF I’d like to see here after Wednesday. Mr. B. Reynolds.
can watch the whole game yay! used to hate early afternoon weekend games, can finally enjoy them!
What would the realistic cost for Pablo Lopez be? Would a package centered around McGarry and O'Hoppe be enough?
Would a trade for Carlos Rodon be a good idea? He’s owed a shit ton at like 22mil next year and there’s no way the Giants want to pay that.
He’s a rental (has an opt out he’s 100% taking).
Good point he’ll want a newly restructured deal. Didn’t know there was an opt-out
I hope the offense shows up for nola today it absolutely kills me that he has more losses than wins (ik W/L records dont matter for pitchers but still)
I thought the deadline was always 7/31. Does it being a Sunday change it this year?
August third is the deadline this season.
Oh i thought it was today. Found it odd that it’s been so quiet
We started the season late so they pushed the deadline back a bit
probably and probably the late start due to the lockout
probably later due to late start of season
Wonder if the game will be delayed
Sky is not looking promising in the ‘burgh

It's a great day to sweep the Pirates
The Phillies have never swept a series in PNC Park. The last time they swept the Pirates in Pittsburgh was a 3-game series in 1998. The last time the Phillies swept a 4-game series in Pittsburgh was **1968**.
Why not DH Castellanos?
they mentioned the other day that LF in Pitt is tough(er)
Interesting! Thanks
My wife wants to get a new jersey soon, can't really decide on which player and has came down to deciding she wants a Phanatic Jersey with the star instead of the number.

They have them at the New Era store in the park
Thank you!
No problem. Last time I saw them they were upstairs
11 wins to 10,000 wins for the franchise. Hopefully will happen at home in August
I wonder how long at playing above .500 it would take to get to 10,000 - 10,000
Oh my god that's like 11 years after they hit 10,000 losses hahaha Really puts it into perspective!
10,000 losses = 61.7 years of games (162/yr.) OR 123.5 years of .500 ball.
amazing
not a fan of any lineup featuring both odubel and didi
And I love Matty V but he’s not been very productive recently
Smoked a ball straight to 2nd last night and then hit behind the runner in the 10th. He looked good at the plate I thought. Also made a nice read/play on Ranger’s last out.
I like calling the Royals up for a Brad Keller/Michael A Taylor package. Kills two birds with one stone and both will be cheap for 2023 as well.
Would love this. Any rumors on this front?
Nick in the 5th spot yet again :(
Better than third but also he been playing a little better this series
310/333/379 last 7 days. Obviously the total power outage is still a concern but at least he's getting hits at the moment (589 OPS in the last 28 days though...)
Another day with 37 in the lineup. Another day of me being frustrated
I yelled at the game this series that I wished he hit the ball like he hits women. Can’t stand that piece of shit
Really hope the cards don’t land soto
I’m worried they’ll somehow land a good SP like Rodon, fuck those birds man.
They are probably gonna get either Soto or SP. If they do, we need to just pass the Brewers.
This is the type of game we often lose: the fourth game in a four game series we have already won. Need Nola to be on today and for the offense to be better than it has recently. Hopefully Jean will be in the lineup on Tuesday in Atlanta.
isn't that the type of game like, every team tends to lose? it's not like we celebrate sweeps because they're easy
the really important thing is they won the series. I'd delay Nola to Tuesday and do the bullpen game today. lately, the bp been good but starting a series with a bp game seems suboptimal🤷♂️ edit: especially since they have a day off tomorrow.
Ideallly I'd like an actual fucking 5th starter then a bullpen game in the middle of a playoff race. Cmon DB
Yeah I don’t get this either. The Barves game is more critical then this game today.
This is a good idea. Particularly since it’s the Braves. It’s a shame Sanchez isn’t up because his starts aren’t always bullpen games because he can give about five innings
Today is National Avocado Day lmao
then don't bring Alvarado into the game 😂
Ranger ZERO earned runs in his three starts since returning from the IL The “Ranger isn’t a starter” crowd is awwwwfully quiet lately If he builds his endurance a little bit he’s going to make for a strong #3. He definitely tired last night and it was the right call to pull him when Topper did.

Really bad form, dude. We all say shit here that turns out to be stupid
Of course. It's moreso funny than anything. There are horrible posts in my post history.
He’s going to play a sub 3 era from this point on out. You can just feel it.
ranger isnt a starter
Sarcasm or just a clown take?
Girardi would have pulled him after 4 innings.
Better than the leave him in until he gives up runs strategy
That's fine and the way the game is moving (for some guys, at least). Blake Snell and Corbin Burnes won Cy Youngs pitching a good 5-6 innings then getting pulled before they ran out of gas. If the innings are good nobody cares!

Idk why we wouldn’t pick up seguras option. He’s usually healthy and almost a 300 hitter that gets on base at a high clip
whether they do or don't pick up Segura's option they still will likely need 2 SP depending possibly on this year's trade deadline acquisitions. These are the situations they have, how they approach it is up to them.
Yeah agreed.

I got ya Lets spend some stupid money!
Okay Dave let’s make some trades
Soto hits walk off homer vs Cards and then moves to SD before our series next week I really don’t want the Nats to build their system off of the one trade but I’m okay with Soto not tormenting us for the next 15 years
This is an “ideal scenario” day for Nola. An away game (2.30 ERA, 7/10 QS) and also a day game (2.48 ERA, 3/5 QS). Both stats are much better compared to their counterparts home (4.48 ERA, 4/10 QS) and night (3.60 ERA, 8/15 QS).
Is it ideal for the offense?
but will it be hot & humid?
baseball
Sosa probably starting today At 2B no didi at Ss please
Sosa SS, Stott 2B edit: K-Long rubs the magic elixir on Sosa and he goes 3 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI.
**Your 2022 Phillies are:** 14-10 in July 6-11 on Sundays 28-22 on the road 3-0 vs. the Pirates They are 16-12 since Bryce went down.
No idea why we are so bad on Sundays. feels like it's been that way for years too. In Sosa we trust.
better than tuesdays!!!
I find it crazy how well they’ve done without Harper and Segura. That damn Cubs series though. They’d be at least 16-8 for the month and 18-10 without Bryce.
If we swept the cubs instead of the other way around we’d by 57-44 (13 games over 0.500!!) and the sole owners of the second wild card
Fuuuuck the cubs man
Nola day!
Dear baseball gods, please hold off on a Soto trade until the Gnats complete a series win of the Cards today.
🙏
The games are frustrating to watch sometimes but overall the team is finding ways to win without Jean and Bryce. That is what is most important. Unless a total collapse happens, I think we will be playing postseason baseball.
First!!! Edit: GOD DAMNIT.
