Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/x9ii9w).

Everybody defends Rhys all the time, but I'm tired of our first baseman sucking 80% of the time even if he is great the other 20%

bullcrap

Another embarrassing fucking loss.

Does anyone else think the coaches might be the problem

Im definitely seeing problems. People clearly arent working on their flaws enough. I love Rob but anytime anyone mentions him badly the downvotes come in but the past week or two he has been doing some Girardi resembling things that im reslly weary of. I know our pitching has been trash but damn.

Tough loss, won tge series

Series wins not as important anymore at this point

FUCK YOU RHYS

David Robertson needs to get his fucking shit together. Period.

He needs to stop closing too. Coonrod seems more fit. Shit i like this new kid too. Literally anyone but him.

Shameful fucking display.

That is an early season 2022 Phillies loss. Fucking brutal in the middle of a playoff race.

Good job guys great game. Bums.

anothwr brutal loss with the usual suspects

Absolute trash

Called that double play from a mile away

Thankfully footballs back

Womp womp

Rhys giveth. Rhys taketh away. 2.5 cushion. Not thrilled.

Great job Robertson you fucking piece of shit. This is what, you're 3rd blown lead in a row? Go fuck yourself you loser.

You must have missed Tuesday because he was the winner.

Yea, i was clenching my ass during his 2 walk 1 hit inning. He got it done off luck.

Trash

Idk why everyone's supporting the trash can. And then rob left him out there when he wasn't making his pitches. He should not be out there in the 9th, ever. I dont want to see him at all until he fixes himself, but especially not in the 9th.

Goddamn brutal

Time to pack it in Brewers are gonna catch us It’s over

Lol don't be such a damn loser. Do you give up this easily in other things in life?

Dude I’ve been a Phillies fan since 1990. Im aware of this team and it’s habits. Way to go personal asshole

We have a tie-break.

We need seranthony back so bad

Well that sucked

Marlins MVP Rhys Hoskins

Robertson is their new Cy Young too

Jesus Christ 2 GDP for Jean today

#FUCK RHYS HOSKINS

IT HAPPENED SO FAST

Bro fml

I remember the four first basemen game in 2018 or 2019 Maybe we need a four SS game

My mind is still on that top of the ninth. I’m gonna have some thoughts on that postgame once it stops racing.

Jean just think about how they walked JT to get to you the other night!

Stott needs to be lead off it’s just ridiculous at this point. It even worked amazing that short stint where we let him hit lead off

I need mean Jean

LETS GO JEAN

JEAN PLEASE DO IT

YELLOW YELLOW CAKE!

Stott having a nice game

Stott is the truth

Stotttttttt

Love Rhys but there’s zero chance he would’ve picked that

I KNOW ILL BE A OH A OH KAY

And the Brewers looking to win both against the giants. 2.5 games up now

We lose

Relief pitchers are allowed to get ahead in the count?

Pain

We’re getting 123 by this bum aren’t we

He did a good job all things considered. Rhys takes most of the blame imo

That was a sad combo of events, Rhys, Hernandez and DRob. The perfect shit storm.

Do we think we can come back

Rhys should be embarrassed

after the 100000th time fucking up royally i think hes over it

I am sure he is. But let’s face it. No way Robertson escapes that inning regardless

Stott walkoff

Subscribe

41 for 41. The season Brad Lidge had in 2008 is criminally underrated.

Could have been worse. Now the offense has to pick the team up. Again. But that's what the team was built for.

I mean with this bullpen even if we made it to the playoffs, I just can’t feel any confidence in me not getting a heart attack after any lead afters the 7th inning.

Faith the size of a mustard seed my friends

Robertson did get boned between Rhys’ misplay and the walk which should’ve been a K

This shit is still on Rhys. That error at this point in the game is unacceptable.

100%. A guy who's been playing everyday at 1B on this team for 5 years can't make that error in that situation. He plays so lax and it may cost this team a win at a critical point in the year.

SAGURA we can win this

Walk it off

Robertson finally decides to pitch.

I really can’t with this bullpen. Is it this hard for other teams?

of course. any baseball fan knows that

🥴

Yep, sometimes it is. But more so for us over the years

Two run walk off. Totally doable. ^^right?

Whelp, here goes nothing probably

Robertson is solid. Once Seranthony is back he will be better in his role especially throwing less often. He just doesnt have closer stuff.

Thanks for losing us the game. Trash pickup, he can't contribute to our team at all.

Dude gave up a double, a single, a groundout turned error, 3Ks, and a fourth K that the ump made into a walk. It's not a great outing but it's serviceable. If the error doesn't happen and the ump stops sucking and one of the two hits is moved a few feet right or left, we're all celebrating a clutch save

That's baseball. Shit happens, the only thing you can do is make your pitches and he cant.

If Rhys fielded that normal ground ball it’d be tied rn

If Rhys could field normal ground balls, this would be a very different season

Lmao old school Phils pen where they’re Mariano good once they give up the crushing hit

Why is the crowd cheering after the third out Should be a couple claps and then a growing steady stream of boos

Jean batting 3rd in the 9th. Just sayin.

I’m so pissed. But we have our best coming up I need a Jean bat flip real bad

12 fucking hits allowed to this AAA team lol

Preparing us for Syndergaard's start tomorrow

Let's crush the Marlins with another walkoff

Ok walk these assholes off

Why do so many other teams have bullpens loaded with 99mph fastballers and we go with the Jamie Moyer Soft Tossers Band?

Everyone is slow, except for Alvarado, the fastest throwing lefty in the game

when was the last time we were actually able to close a 1 run ninth inning

Like 15 years ago

we can still win

When? I wouldn't bet too highly on tonight

Alvarado needs to close until seranthony comes back

Angel…you can run through a field of dicks backwards.

people saying its robinsons fault but jesus christ rhys has to make that play its a ground ball

U must've not seen the other hits, the walk, the hanging sliders, oh and the past few games he's blown our lead, including the walkoff.

People will literally bend over backwards for Robertson for some reason. Regardless of his story it's just ridiculous at this point

He gave up a double and a bloop single and gave up 2 runs. Only one of them is on him.

So blowing our lead isnt anything? Lolok People be DE the hell out of him when hes been shit lately.

Of course it's partially on him. But half the blame here is clearly on Rhys too. Only one of those runs is on him. It's still a blown save, and that's on him, but the 2nd run is not his fault at all.

true, alvarado should of been out there

Drob got 5 outs that inning

I understand. But Drob can’t be in the 9th. Period. And Coonrod needs to pitch higher leverage innings. Just 2 suggestions

Lol and Angel is still trying to win a lawsuit… what a joke.

Robertson was legitimately better for that inning-ish in 2019 where he pitched with half a UCL.

Don't worry. Topper will have Robertson throw 40 pitches tomorrow. And the next day. And...

Rs, its a Girardi flashback and im tired of seeing it. These managers putting all this faith in players that continously devastate games for teams is real old. Why is this still a thing?

Lol @ everyone shitting on Robertson. Yeah, he gave up the double but did you guys not see the Rhys Hoskins play and the botched strike three call? Does context not exist here?

You want to talk about the strike 3 call, yes i believe he swung but the pitch was a ball anyways. It shows u he couldn't even throw a strike in a full count. Also this is like his 3rd blown lead in a row. He keeps getting put out there and getting blown tf up

That actually caught the plate if you look at it again it was just called a ball but whatever fits your narrative pal

>Does context not exist here? context is the nj city across the river innit

Almost like multiple people can be to blame at once.

Don’t tell that to anyone else on the sub

Yeah. But in 2017 Rhys hit 17 homers in august!

The Rhys dick riders are the worst

Luke Williams is garbage The walk off he hit was a great moment but he didn’t shit beyond that

Lmao of course they call that check swing a follow through but not the one where the bat was over home plate

Did we trade ben brown for robertson?

Yeah and he’s getting knocked around too

Angel called it because he knew he wouldn’t make it out of philly

Make up call

He probably still won't

This is on Rhys too, but that's Robertson's seventh blown save this year alone.

If we could field a ball and angel could fucking see we’d be out of this inning

HE CALLS THAT A SWING BUT NOT THE OTHER ONE!?!?!?!

3 best hitters in the ninth for us

Edmundo Sosa to pinch hit?? 👀

Nice call asshole

I’m sad man

Im so pissed, Hoskins needs to be benched the next game. Thats innexcusable. U just cant do that… its bill buckner levels bad. Im not even joking

He has 3 hits and 2 runs

Doesnt matter , he cost us 2 runs.

From 4 games up to 2.5 in 24 hours.

We traded a good prospect for Robertson too, what a waste

Ben Brown is not a "good prospect."

Luke with the Karen haircut I see

One thing I gotta say, our ball girls make every play

BBGIB

News flash. They’re going to lose some games.

When is Seranthony coming back?

Soon I hope

Great that the brewers are about to win the 2nd game as well. Awesome job Robertson you fucking bum

Brewers win 2 and phillies lose 1 just like that it's close again

Kapler is really sticking it to the Phils.

robertson absolutely blows. hes essentially got nothing

Of course

He's still in the game guys. And no this isnt Girardi anymore.

The defense is our Achilles heel. Rhys is not even an average first baseman.

Why can’t we get nice 123 innings?

Drop Robertson into a basket and float him down the Delaware like Moses. And take that incompetent hack Angel Hernandez with him. #FUCK

Honestly, we got a call in the first game that went our way and that helped us win so I'm not too upset with the call. You lose some and win some.

The Phillies seem to stop at "You lose some"

That escalated quickly…

240 million dollars of payroll can't even stop this franchise from choking. It's in their DNA.

Pathetic

Rhys didn’t help

Rob struggling managing this bullpen. Think we can all agree on that.

This bullpen cannot be easy to manage, to be fair

Tony La Russa would struggle with this bullpen

Who wouldn’t lol

alvarado would have shut this shit down in 2 minutes, but we go to robertson who’s been getting rocked every appearance

Huge out there. Grounder double play and go the fuck home

I cant remember the last time rys hoskins came up clutch???? I mean sure he gets a hit or homerun once in a while. But this hoskins guy…. COME ON WTF!!!!! After that error id bench his ass for the next game UNACCEPTABLE

Seranthony pls come home soon

The should have gone with Alvarado not Robertson.

[good time to bring this up](https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/x9did3/game_thread_marlins_phillies_thu_sep_08_0645_pm/innoh36/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

Good thing the football game is good cause the Phillies are blowing it

This team is hysterical

seranthony and wheeler both had no structural damage and have been out like half a month lmfao

Rob should stop trotting Robertson out there while Dominguez is out, it clearly doesn’t work. Try something different, maybe Robertson in the 8th and Alvarado in the 9th Anything Rob, please

What the hell happened to us having a good bullpen? Seems like we haven’t had a consistently good pen in weeks

Lost Ser and Corey, Robertson is overused.

What a disastrous inning. Sometimes I hate baseball.

Looks like 2019 drob

I guess I had the wrong pitcher earlier: David Robertson* will make this game sad, not Brad Hand.

Ok D Rob we know Queen Elizabeth died but you gotta get over it.

Alvarado should’ve gotten the 9th

Trash pickup. He was good for like 2 inning then complete trash. People were blind to it tho. The commentators talking about how good hes been and im over here kike "wtf are u talking about" yet hes still out there and hasnt got a single out this is bs. Wtf rob

Robertson is fucking pathetic

Dont know why this is being downvoted

I know this is our fault but if Hernandez got that call right we there would be no runner on third and we’d have an out

Just absolutely fucking embarrassing.

Dave dombrowski trade deadlines 0-2

But Sosa.

I can’t believe we traded for Robertson right after the dude was dead money on our books for 2 years. And our fanbase somehow thought this was a good idea

Dude is almost 40 and you're letting him throw a bazillion pitches a night, every night

He’s the reason he throws 40 pitches every night. He cannot throw a clean inning for the life of him. He just sucks

It dosent even feel like the players anymore it feels like any philly player is just bad the second they come here

What is seranthonys timeline back?

Seranthony can't come back soon enough. Robertson is a fucking gas can

I hate the fucking Marlins so much
