where the fuck has kruk been?

Do you feel it?

I think he said at the beginning of the year he's only on for like 80-90 games. So maybe he's just taking extended breaks at various points of the year

i miss him, hopefully he comes back soon

There's one..

Coulda been worse. Nice run by DOOBS

Guy can't throw 2 no-hitters in a row, r-right?

Dude just getting into baseball.

Literally first game I have watched since I saw one live when I was like 10.

My closest local team is philly (Central Jersey)

What am I in for?

5 long innings of Vince Velasquez

WHY CAN'T HE DEVELOP PITCH COMMAND

I dont know what that means but okay.

Our pitcher doesn't do well at getting quick outs.

Reminder he's gonna be the future closer. He's not meant to be a starter. Dude has no idea how to manage counts.

Why doesn't philly have one of those things that shows who is up to bat/pitching and where the ball goes every pitch?

they do have a pitch tracker but it's not constantly shown

i personally like this because it's distracting when it's up all the time

>We traded a Closer for two relief pitchers
And it's not just VV. Every pitcher we have that isn't Hellickson has problems with pitch economy

That's the Fox overlay. Comcast is a bit behind on that stuff. they just now got a virtual strikezone

what the hell is a shift?

have you seen giles lately tho? he's not doing too well either

A shift is the defensive alignment for a situation. If you have a hitter who likes to pull the ball(hitting the ball towards the side he bats on) a lot, you'll see shifts like pic related, where they take everybody and move them to the left.

Far too many players struggle at adjusting to this

It's a shame. If we move VV to the closer, and Appel takes to the bullpen will, it'll be a win. A sad win though. I'll never forget that 16k game

For more, look at some of the pictures in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_positioning

saunders having such great at-bats lately.

JEB SURGE

GUACLINS

Is it weird that I like the Marlins more now that Jeb owns it?

Feel like Freddie's streak is gonna end lads

New guy here again.

Tfw I like the phillies announcer better but marlins stream has much better interface.

This isn't what I was talking about when I asked if you felt it

I'm surprised; McCarthy is as dry as bread. Might check the Marlins feed to see what they're saying about us

As bad as McCarthy is, the Marlins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Nationals, and a couple others manage to have it worse

tmac is one of the most annoying broadcasters ever, you'll probably hate him if you watch a lot of games

He's actually liked by a lot of the non hardcore base. only people I know in my family that hate him are me, my cousins, and my grandmom

VV!

Oh god VV could've been hurt there

>.183
His BABIP is so low though, he's going to break through soon

franco pls

THE FIRE RISES IN FRANCO

FRANCGOD!!!!!

HOLY FUCK 2ND OF THE YEAR

>tommy joseph making contact

It's something!

rhys hoskins when

There it is! There's the Phillie nibble!

Why do I feel like if philly broadcasters were reading tweets it would be more funny.

they actually tried that a few years ago, as you can imagine it was a disaster

VV's walk rate is insane. He's actually gotten a handful of 0-2 coutns to walks this year too. It's so annoying

>VV with a reasonable amount of pitches thrown through four innings

I'mOkayWithThis.jpg

WTF I just checked before coming home and the marlins were just up 2-0

You got FRANCO'd

This man happened

The streak lives on!

The marlins broadcast were a lot better with tommy hutton. I hope jeb rehires him

Was he the one that has an anger issues?

FUCK

DAT DOUBLE PLAY

cbssports.com/mlb/news/reports-marlins-tv-analyst-tommy-hutton-fired-for-negativity/

nah he was fired because he was because too negative of loria. Even though the marlins have not made the playoffs in 14 years

>trying to learn what stats mean
Nobody told me this sport required math to enjoy.

Also how the fuck am I gonna remember all these peoples names. I feel like a Nazi calling people by their numbers.

which stats do you need help with?

Just looking at formulas for percentage based ones (slugging batting average, whatever that piching one is)

Made my eyes glaze over.

>marlins fedora

god what a terrible idea

basically just remember that lower era = good

and higher slg, avg, obp, and ops = good

If you listen to the game on radio does it have different announcers?

I feel like the commentary on this live tv barely describes what's going on.

yes
the philly radio guys are much better than tv

marlins radio guy is the best and HOF. better than tv too

I'm glad VV is generating weak contact today.

should they let VV pitch the 7th?

If they hit well enough to get to his spot in the order, no.

>A Yankees and Mets fan at a Marlins and Phillies game

FREDDY GALVIS GOAT

...

RIP flowers.

CRAWFORD WHO

NIGGA WE DON'T WANT CARL CRAWFORD'S BROTHER JD

That's the end of VV tonight.

Now just have to hope the bullpen holds up...

Nice double Adieny

Come on ichiro

>joely "i can't pitch to lefties" rodriguez

>that botched double play

What the fuck was that?

Finally Saunders gets a homerun!

>7 runs on 3 hrs

>2nd deck HR

>tfw things are looking up

are phillies games usually this empty or is the weather still too cool for people?

It became empty when they started sucking in 2012.

werent they ok the last two years? around .500?

I havent watched baseball in a while and I remember that place being packed back then

it's meaningless regular season baseball.

>giving up 7 runs on 3 pitches

>werent they ok the last two years? around .500?

No, they've been pretty shitty the last couple years. Even had the worst record in 2015.

>2012
Might have had a chance to make the playoffs, but they sold in July
>2013
Bad
>2014
Worse
>2015
Worst record in baseball
>2016
Big improvement, but still was never a contender past may.
>2017
The wait for more prosepcts continues

Hector Neris! GG Fishfriends!

>that kid in the marlins hat
lol

damn it of course the first game I watched in like 5 years they lose

>tfw winning record

Save this pic from before. Keep them coming

I'm slowly but surely working through my awoo collection. I don't have the Autism I did when I popped out all the Eagles one in a day

I mean the Phillies are looking good. We are actually hitting. I think if this game happened last year we wouldn't be hitting like this. Will we make it to the playoffs? Probably not. Maybe wildcard at best.

If EVERYTHING goes right, we can sneak a WC2 spot. It won't though, so enjoy the progress and prospects. Also, a potential prospect for Hellickson, provided we don't extend him

nothing means anything until the all star break.

I'm liking what I'm seeing, but I don't think the Phils going to make the playoffs. I'd be happy with a winning record this year.

you guys think Neris should be shopped for a king's ransom? Nats and Rags are gonna be in a huge bidding war

I don't think he's untouchable, but I want something tangible in return. The best thing we get can't just be a lottery ticket

New guy here again. tfw at top of 7th inning I went to clean my filthy PTR91 rifle and missed the end of the game.

Phillies won hurray.

I tried in vain to get a radio app downloaded but its hard to do that with your hands covered in carbon and oil.
