Charles Perez
OP you da real MVP for making these in depth threads everyday
Austin Davis
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.
Jacob Roberts
Here's hoping for a Philly victory!
Hoping for entertaining baseball and not innings full of errors.
Jose Rogers
3 batters and already an error.
Jesus christ.
Jonathan Allen
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
Camden Sanchez
so how will the giants offense choke this game away for Blach?
Adrian Cruz
As long as you score atleast 3 runs the phillies are done.
We have no offense either atm.
Tyler Cook
I stopped having faith. Zero reason to with the Hack in charge
Juan Cox
Good news, Giants! Your slump has ended!
Fuck this.
James Brown
Is Eikof just pitching wrong on purpose?
Jayden Phillips
Give it time
You'll eventually get back into the game
James Parker
It's gotta be coaching. No way is everyone slumping this horribly
Eli Martinez
Jesus
All those empty outfield seats
Caleb Garcia
>Throw your first strike of the inning >Loud applause It's beyond sad. This is getting into 2012 Astros territory
Brody Watson
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.
Levi Perez
No matter how bad you think you have it, You're not the slump killing Phillies
Wyatt Hughes
okay
i can see what you guys mean now
Tyler Russell
It's almost time.
Mason Powell
Suffering will never stop.
Gabriel Carter
Hmm, I didn't think you could enter tank mode this early in a season, in any major sport
Gabriel Phillips
I am strongly considering watching a different team for rest of season.
Pretend to myself phillies are taking the year off.
Samuel Brooks
>The Giants scored as many runs in 1.2 Innings against the Phillies as they have in 27 innings against the Nationals
Andrew Diaz
Heads need to roll at this point. This is beyond pathetic.
And my family has tickets to tomorrow's game too.
Jonathan Green
Death will be comfort for you, don't watch the Phillies.
Cameron Brown
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
Evan Ward
I would feel like a traitor to my family unless I watched a team secretly.
I thought about Texas because I wanna move there.
Jason Lee
Guys. I found Slater's sister on instagram and sent her a friend request. She hasn't accepted it yet. Should I be worried?
Henry Perez
Watch Rangers only when Cole pitches.
Justin Baker
She's at the game dingus
Give her a few hours until it's over
John Richardson
>Get two easy outs >Walk the pitcher in a long at bat Fuck yeah, I had a sliver of hope for a painless inning
Jonathan Rogers
>get two quick outs >proceed to load the bases >get pulled before 3 innings
Life of the Phillies starting pitching
Luke Hernandez
I had to change the channel. Watching Tucker Carlson now
Joseph Richardson
Post that shit nigga
Oliver Davis
Uhh what is happening right now with the Phillies pitching?
He and Coulter just went to town on the religion of climate science
Dylan Foster
Did you guys cap the guy with the bag over his head and picking his nose?
Gabriel Wood
>Paper bag masks out already this early
Jesus christ filly
Brody Allen
whos this cuck in the booth with kuip? affeldt?
Hudson Ramirez
I wonder what the record is for most walks or most balls thrown in one game.
Nicholas Richardson
Go away, Sup Forums
Jonathan Anderson
Javy Lopez and he's a million times better than Affeldt.
Mason Cook
Howie Kendrick looks like black cop who is about to retire in every buddy cop film.
Matthew Richardson
baseball is sooooo boring lol it's almost unwatchable
Logan King
Make me
Nolan Nguyen
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.
Liam Taylor
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
Logan Mitchell
Wow Phillies, just wow
Charles Gomez
Can we just call the game now through some kind of Mercy Rule?
Robert Lee
Has any baseball team ever just given up mid season?
Luis Sanders
2012 Astros? 2003 Tigers?
Chase White

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

Isaac Rivera
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.
Jason Gonzalez
>buster hug! GG phillbros
Hudson Smith
Thank God we extended Pete, we would have been competing with so many other teams for him this offseason otherwise
Aaron Jackson
gg phillies. Thanks for the W.
------------------------- Next game (#2) is tomorrow at 4:05 PM ET | 1:05 PM PT
Parker Barnes
>Ben Lively called up from AAA to starting pitch tomorrow
Last digit says how many runs he gives up.
Cameron Ortiz
Eh, could be worse.
Liam White
Lively is weird. He'll be terrible for a while, then one day it just clicks and he starts pitching like an ace
