OP you da real MVP for making these in depth threads everyday

Both of these teams are a perfect fit. Long running jokes in their division that had a few fluke good seasons but decades of futility just to fuck their fans over.

Here's hoping for a Philly victory!

Hoping for entertaining baseball and not innings full of errors.

3 batters and already an error.

Jesus christ.

Is that Lopez talking?
So far he sounds better than Jeremy.

Also: Slater's sister is beautiful.
Therefore I have claimed her as my waifu

so how will the giants offense choke this game away for Blach?

As long as you score atleast 3 runs the phillies are done.

We have no offense either atm.

I stopped having faith. Zero reason to with the Hack in charge

Good news, Giants! Your slump has ended!

Fuck this.

Is Eikof just pitching wrong on purpose?

Give it time

You'll eventually get back into the game

It's gotta be coaching. No way is everyone slumping this horribly

Jesus

All those empty outfield seats

>Throw your first strike of the inning
>Loud applause
It's beyond sad. This is getting into 2012 Astros territory

You haven't been paying attention to the Phillies at all, have you?

Not that I blame you for wanting to watch shit, but still.

No matter how bad you think you have it, You're not the slump killing Phillies

okay

i can see what you guys mean now

It's almost time.

Suffering will never stop.

Hmm, I didn't think you could enter tank mode this early in a season, in any major sport

I am strongly considering watching a different team for rest of season.

Pretend to myself phillies are taking the year off.

>The Giants scored as many runs in 1.2 Innings against the Phillies as they have in 27 innings against the Nationals

Heads need to roll at this point. This is beyond pathetic.

And my family has tickets to tomorrow's game too.

Death will be comfort for you, don't watch the Phillies.

The entire coaching staff needs to go. It's amazing how Clearwater, Reading, Lehigh, and maybe even Lakewood are on fire, but the ML team is an embarrassment to the country

I would feel like a traitor to my family unless I watched a team secretly.

I thought about Texas because I wanna move there.

Guys.
I found Slater's sister on instagram and sent her a friend request.
She hasn't accepted it yet.
Should I be worried?

Watch Rangers only when Cole pitches.

She's at the game dingus

Give her a few hours until it's over

>Get two easy outs
>Walk the pitcher in a long at bat
Fuck yeah, I had a sliver of hope for a painless inning

>get two quick outs
>proceed to load the bases
>get pulled before 3 innings

Life of the Phillies starting pitching

I had to change the channel. Watching Tucker Carlson now

Post that shit nigga

Uhh what is happening right now with the Phillies pitching?

Shit coaching.

Bob McClure is happening

>2006 Royals: 5.64 ERA(30th)
>2007 Royals: 4.48 ERA(16th)
>2008 Royals: 4.48 ERA(22nd)
>2009 Royals: 4.83 ERA(26th)
>2010 Royals: 4.97 ERA(29th)
>2011 Royals: 4.44 ERA(27th)
>2012 Red Sox: 4.70 ERA(27th)
>2014 Phillies: 3.79 ERA(20th)
>2015 Phillies: 4.35 ERA(28th)
>2016 Phillies: 4.64 ERA(26th)

Time for Tuck?

He and Coulter just went to town on the religion of climate science

Did you guys cap the guy with the bag over his head and picking his nose?

>Paper bag masks out already this early

Jesus christ filly

whos this cuck in the booth with kuip? affeldt?

I wonder what the record is for most walks or most balls thrown in one game.

Go away, Sup Forums

Javy Lopez and he's a million times better than Affeldt.

Howie Kendrick looks like black cop who is about to retire in every buddy cop film.

baseball is sooooo boring lol it's almost unwatchable

Make me

You know what, fuck it, whatever.

It's not like the game is interesting to talk about or anything, unless Bob McClure gets dragged onto the field and the fans are allowed to beat him to death with baseball bats.

For that post, I'm going to talk baseball. Are there ANY good looking prospects in the 2018 draft? I know people meme about Seth Beer, but I don't see it

Wow Phillies, just wow

Can we just call the game now through some kind of Mercy Rule?

Has any baseball team ever just given up mid season?

2012 Astros? 2003 Tigers?

...

I wish to not have to post this image in every phillies game thread but here we go.

...

Phillies in last 9 games:

>.174 batting average (worst in MLB)
>.246 on-base percentage (worst in MLB)
>.294 slugging percentage (worst in MLB)

>about to lose 11 straight series (first time since 1941)
>outscored 71-22 since start of Rockies series

Wake me up when Eagles training camp begins.

>buster hug!
GG phillbros

Thank God we extended Pete, we would have been competing with so many other teams for him this offseason otherwise

gg phillies. Thanks for the W.


-------------------------
Next game (#2) is tomorrow at 4:05 PM ET | 1:05 PM PT

>Ben Lively called up from AAA to starting pitch tomorrow

Last digit says how many runs he gives up.

Eh, could be worse.

Lively is weird. He'll be terrible for a while, then one day it just clicks and he starts pitching like an ace
