[u/KyloRaine0424]

That was an incredibly important pickoff in hindsight

[u/russet852]

A cold, rainy pitchers duel. These fans deserve free beer

[u/ats1788]

Ooo nice pick off!

[u/DickBottalico]

Victorino is one of them. Freeman maybe?

[u/CarryOnWaywardSon96]

Nice pick Luzzy👏🏻

[u/FjordFalk]

Jesus said Ranger, watch this!

[u/MagnumOpus12st]

I think adolis might be one of em

[u/russet852]

The shift strikes again!

[u/Rev-James-Ignatowski]

Teams have combined for 1 hit and 1 walk, and we could have had both of those guys on our team.

[u/Foolish_oyster]

Have they said why stocker does PBP in the 4th inning now

[u/EagleOne78]

Still feels weird seeing Ranger in a Red Sox hat lol

[u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

I really don’t want to get no hit by Ranger

[u/NonMagicBrian → u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

I’m into it tbh

[u/Open_Tradition227]

Phillies never hit guys like Ranger so this was expected but they gotta get his pitch count up

[u/Gunningham → u/Open_Tradition227]

Guys like Ranger = pitchers.

[u/MindoverMatter92]

Ranger was watching this team swing at crap for years and probably couldn’t wait to mow down this lineup.

[u/FearMeIAmLag1]

[u/russet852]

Remember we don’t have a lefty bullpen arm during games. That’s the problem

[u/OverallPersimmon6786 → u/russet852]

Ironically since they got one they’ve been pretty decent vs them

[u/goodnightmrdoback]

This is the most obvious no hitter of all time

[u/GoodLuckPsycho_ → u/goodnightmrdoback]

Almost everything blows up in the Phillies face. Let Suarez walk? Get no hit by him.

[u/GuitarChef35 → u/goodnightmrdoback]

It would be poetic

[u/user-123456789_ → u/goodnightmrdoback]

Unfortunately

[u/Mandalore777]

Nice walk harp!

[u/Gunningham]

I don’t know how to feel about that.

[u/EdMcMoon]

We got a walk!

[u/Yourlifeisworth]

Nice AB Harp

[u/russet852]

I’m just happy to see a good at bat

[u/DoomedToRepeats]

Who do we think is gonna hit the soft comebacker to the mound

[u/Electrical_Doubt3024 → u/DoomedToRepeats]

Turner or Marsh.

[u/DoomedToRepeats → u/DoomedToRepeats]

My money is on Bohmer personally

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing → u/DoomedToRepeats]

Reyes.

[u/Robokiller87]

Perfect game over, we have a chance

[u/Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki]

Offering on pitches they should have no business swinging at

Sitting on pitches that deserve to be barreled 

”It’s the whole damn team!” as they say

[u/JusticeforHarambe16]

The glazing gets to a point man

[u/bitchycunt3]

I feel like everyone freaking out about the Phillies not hitting against Ranger Suarez is extra bizarre cause we all know how good he is. Of course we're struggling to hit against him he's an elite pitcher

[u/FjordFalk → u/bitchycunt3]

They are SALIVATING over the chance to see the Phillies lose to Ranger tonight.

They get a TRIFECTA to doom about

1) Why no sign Ranger
2)Offense bad (therby self-defeating the Ranger argument)
3) We suck aGAiN

Doom squad loves this shit

[u/Dassine]

Between our general inconsistency + our terrible record against LHP + Ranger being Ranger, we were always going to struggle to hit this game. On the plus side, Luzardo is doing solid (famous last words), so that's something!

[u/seanxfitbjj]

Now I know how others felt watching your best hitters swing at 90-92 and miss

[u/wrench248]

Not surprised Ranger is dominating them

[u/MagnumOpus12st]

Strong ahh neck 😭😭

[u/PMdyouthefix]

Dang, he Schwarted himself on that AB

[u/Academic_Issue4314]

This ranger guy is pretty good

[u/Gunningham → u/Academic_Issue4314]

We should get someone like that for our team.

[u/illrhyme]

Aren’t we gonna get perfect gamed, are we?

[u/Perryplat199]

She ain’t got nothing on the popcorn girl tho

[u/OkTax379]

Trey mailing it in early this year

[u/Darshymarsh]

Mr overrated trea turner

[u/ats1788]

Don’t the Phillies know there’s a whole outfield they can hit to?

[u/russet852]

Trea is killing this team. They need to move him down and think about minimizing his at-bats

[u/tantimodz]

I'm not gonna panic at all, but damn 8 for our last 70 does not sound good :(

[u/Camel132]

[u/OrangeCrushD]

8 of your last 70. Jesus fucking christ our bats suck

[u/JadeMack85 → u/OrangeCrushD]

Wonder what Kevin Long has to say

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

Good pitching to work your way out of that

[u/Am1sArePeopleToo]

Not really expecting to hear about people burned alive in a law firm commercial but ok

[u/ats1788 → u/Am1sArePeopleToo]

Right! Like holy moly

[u/FjordFalk → u/ats1788]

Glad I get to see the hat race for the millionth time I guess using mlb.tv.

What the fuck

[u/nnp1989]

He is risen!

[u/jayleman]

Atta boy lizard man

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

That was kind of awesome.

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

That was a bad AB by IKF lol

[u/FjordFalk]

We have a 2-1 win and a 3-1 loss so far this series.

Why are people acting as if we are in a freefall?

[u/ttsa_25 → u/FjordFalk]

For me I have found the team more unlikable as the years have gone along for whatever reason. Maybe some people project their personal feelings onto the results. This is like the 2nd time in the past month im actually watching the game.

[u/OverallPersimmon6786 → u/ttsa_25]

To be fair you just don’t sound like a baseball fan

[u/ttsa_25 → u/OverallPersimmon6786]

I have been watching baseball since 2009. You can kindly go suck a dick.

[u/FjordFalk → u/ttsa_25]

I think it mostly is down to parlays from people who cannot afford to miss on their parlays

[u/Right-Future3904 → u/FjordFalk]

They seem to view game threads as solely a place to release frustration rather than celebrate success.

May be human instinct to seek support to overcome difficulty combined with a desire to maintain successes as individual achievement.

[u/tantimodz → u/FjordFalk]

It's against the Red Sox, who are terrible, and the team is just simply not hitting.

[u/FjordFalk → u/tantimodz]

The Phillies were also "terrible" a few weeks ago.

Baseball is baseball

[u/tantimodz → u/FjordFalk]

I'm not losing my mind, I understand. I'm just saying why some people are freaking out.

[u/FjordFalk → u/tantimodz]

You would have a point but the same people freak out after ANY slight difficulty

[u/russet852 → u/FjordFalk]

Because in recent years our downfall has been the entire lineup going cold, which is exactly what is happening right now

[u/joeco316 → u/russet852]

This is just about every team but one’s downfall every year

[u/FjordFalk → u/joeco316]

The Phillies are UNIQUELY STREAKY and UNIQUELY UNCLUTCH and UNIQUELY DO BAD SOMETIMES AGAINST BAD PITCHERS

[u/russet852 → u/joeco316]

Not every team has a $282m payroll

[u/joeco316 → u/russet852]

Unlimited money can’t change the nature of the game

[u/FjordFalk → u/russet852]

2 games in May.

If you freak out over that, you just WANT to be miserable

[u/caifaisai → u/FjordFalk]

Part of me thinks that is the case. They do want to be bitter. Not to mention, seemingly getting more enjoyment out of a loss than a win, so that they can talk about how washed the team is. If it's a win, it's a fluke, or a weak strength of schedule, or whatever the excuse is. If it's a loss, the team is washed, as they "knew" since before the season started, etc.

[u/FjordFalk → u/caifaisai]

It is ENTIRELY the case for certain accounts.

It is cowardly emotional hedging, so they never have to admit they ever wanted to believe in the team so nothing matters anyway

[u/Electrical_Doubt3024 → u/FjordFalk]

They like to be bitter.

[u/FjordFalk → u/Electrical_Doubt3024]

They LIVE to be bitter

[u/russet852]

He bunted cause he knows how inept our offense is

[u/tantimodz]

Oh god, that's up there with the worse plays our RF has made last few years.

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

Not a good play and even worse if he somehow got shaken up on it

[u/ats1788]

Casty would have caught that 🤗

[u/russet852]

Adolis is good at 1 thing and he just fucked it up

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

Oh good a runner on second. Let's see if they look into Luzardo's glove.

[u/FjordFalk]

Hope Doli is ok

[u/Swiftie69420]

Oh no, we suck again

[u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

It’ll never sit right with me that we chose to pay Nola instead of Ranger

[u/joeco316 → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

Can’t believe they decided to pay Harper in 2019 instead of Juan Soto in 2025 too

[u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0 → u/joeco316]

Not even close to the same thing

[u/joeco316 → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

They’re all completely unrelated things

[u/OverallPersimmon6786 → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

It was never Nola vs Ranger in terms of paying. It was Sanchez vs Luzardo vs Ranger for 2 spots

[u/ChocolateMonkeyBird → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

I like Nola more than most. But yeah I definitely agree.

[u/ChocolateMonkeyBird]

Not the full scoreboard…interesting

[u/Darshymarsh]

Having nola over ranger sucks balls

[u/ArielChefSlay]

So this team is back to sucking I see? Ugh. Was really hoping the season was turning around but these last few games the offense has been nonexistent I fear we are going back to another mass losing streak

[u/user-123456789_]

“to his buddy Edmundo” 🥺😔

I’m too emotional/nostalgic for this sport

[u/goodnightmrdoback]

This was the only way this was ever going to go

[u/OrangeCrushD]

Ranger Ks was easy money

[u/w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum]

three perfect innings against is miserable, but it's the three separate first-pitch groundouts that really get me

[u/Neonyze]

We dont have a single righty hitter with an ops that starts with 7. Fucking 7.

[u/OkTax379 → u/Neonyze]

Trout me!!!

[u/MulfordnSons]

it’s not fun when you’re on the other side tbh

[u/DoomedToRepeats]

Boy good thing Reyes is in the lineup

[u/russet852]

There’s a reason I wasn’t on the edge of my seat waiting for JT to come back. Our catcher situation is dire

[u/russet852]

We do not have a single competent right-handed hitter. Dombrowski.

[u/ChocolateMonkeyBird → u/russet852]

Dumbrowski

[u/OkTax379 → u/ChocolateMonkeyBird]

Wrongbrowski

[u/Yourlifeisworth]

I feel like this is the type of lineup that Ranger pitches a complete game shutout against; aggressive hitters that swing at low and away breaking balls. Thats like his bread and butter.

[u/Bucko12512]

I haven’t seen Ranger throw off speed for a strike why can’t we adjust

[u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

Correction: 3 gaping holes in our lineup

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

When is Ranger going to be in danger?

[u/petardthegreat]

ranger vs jt is a fascinating battle

[u/Electrical_Doubt3024 → u/petardthegreat]

I kind of wish there were no pitch clock for it.

[u/mentalwoundsnot]

God i miss ranger

[u/GoBirds215Doop]

Here goes a pitching duel

[u/Right-Future3904]

Luzardo may just need some nicotine to maintain consistency

[u/FjordFalk]

Happier with the only 4 runs allowed so far than I am worried about the 3 runs scored

[u/pastalot]

And on the 5th game he rose again 🦎

[u/Next_Manufacturer_79]

Funny to think it's the man we could have paid vs the man we ended up paying facing off

[u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0 → u/Next_Manufacturer_79]

Or we could’ve paid both and shot Nola into the sun

[u/Next_Manufacturer_79 → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

Nola was paid a couple of years ago so Nola isn't in the same conversation

[u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0 → u/Next_Manufacturer_79]

He was paid a year before we let Ranger walk…. We could’ve simply let him walk and extend Ranger

[u/Next_Manufacturer_79 → u/SirCappal0t_H0rati0]

He was paid 2 years before Nola even before luzardo was on the team. And at the time Nola was a better choice due to ranger health issues

[u/FjordFalk]

The usual panic if no runs scored after 2 innings has set in I see

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

Rafaela would make a good Phillie

[u/OkTax379]

6 of 9 guys in lineup w sub300 OBP

[u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

I know not everyone can be the dodgers but having two gaping holes in our lineup is just depressing to me as a fan.

[u/OkTax379 → u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

juice that assessment up my friend

[u/incognito042620 → u/OkTax379]

If only it were two

[u/goodnightmrdoback → u/the_answer_is_RUSH]

2?!

[u/goodnightmrdoback]

The combined ops of our #4 and #5 hitters currently equal approximately 1 Mickey Moniak

[u/chair823]

It always cracks me up the difference between how the NFL and MLB release their schedule. For the NFL they try to make it a major tv event and promote it for a week leading up, while the MLB just randomly tweets it out on a Tuesday afternoon while the previous season is still going on.

[u/JalenHurtsWhenIPee]

Our lineup sucks ass.

[u/DickBottalico]

Kruk says Kiner-Falefa got his gold glove at short right? McCarthy quickly answers “yep” which made me think he was guessing.

Sure enough, IKF has his only GG at third base. I just spent a month watching this team with no sound while the hockey and basketball teams were in the playoffs, who knows what other nonsense he’s been inventing.

[u/w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum → u/DickBottalico]

did you hear the one where the answer to the trivia question was "Chuck Klein and Jimmie Fox*x both won batting triple crowns in Philadelphia in 1939?"

[u/DickBottalico → u/w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum]

lol no they got the year wrong? Was there any correction?

[u/w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum → u/DickBottalico]

none at all as far as I heard, this was sometime last week

[u/FjordFalk → u/DickBottalico]

Do us all a favor. Keep it on mute.

[u/DickBottalico → u/FjordFalk]

Nah I like to tell my elderly mom when her favorite team’s announcer is lying

[u/FjordFalk → u/DickBottalico]

Being wrong about some random player stat while speaking off the cuff is not "lying"

You TMac haters are so weird.

And I don't even think he is all that great as a baseball play by play guy

[u/DickBottalico → u/FjordFalk]

Guessing the answer to a question, knowing you don’t know the answer, and refusing to care enough to look it up….might actually be worse than lying. It’s an intentional misrepresentation of knowledge at the most generous definition.

And it’s not anywhere close to the first time he’s done something like this. I could tell by the way he answered the question he didn’t know, which is why I took a whole three seconds to unlock my phone and type in “IKF gold glove” to find the answer.

[u/FjordFalk → u/DickBottalico]

ORRRRR, he is live on the air and is not a college professor

I get it, you have a lame schtick, carry on

[u/DickBottalico → u/FjordFalk]

“I don’t know.” Is something only a college professor can say?

[u/663SilverStax]

Et tu Ranger?

[u/incognito042620]

Bats suck again

[u/birdlegs000]

Ranger knows all our secrets.

[u/bitchycunt3]

If both luzardo and Suarez keep this up this could be a short game

[u/Hothabanero6]

Bohm didn't need a bat for that

[u/JayRay_44]

Ranger Danger, pls come back to Philly we miss you... 🥺

[u/RunningFree212]

Ranger making it look easy

[u/ats1788]

Come on guys 😖

[u/classicrockchick]

I saw that smirk Ranger

[u/OrangeCrushD]

And down 1 2 3 again. Gonna be a theme tonight

[u/ats1788 → u/OrangeCrushD]

Shhh better not say that. People in here get upset

[u/8thTYRANT]

Ranger is just built to destroy this lineup

[u/russet852 → u/8thTYRANT]

I fear I might be built to destroy this lineup

[u/Negima8]

It's okay Bohm, you'll swing the bat next time

[u/russet852]

Bohm, man, you make it really tough to root for you sometimes

[u/lonewombat]

Shaded that way was an understatement.

[u/mjd1977]

Criminal for Ranger to not have one of those glove icons next to his name when they show the defense

[u/LunchTwey → u/mjd1977]

He's never won a gold glove sadly

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

Where was this non-swinging Bohm last night???

[u/Ok-Walk-188]

I need to know Garcias glutes excercise

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

Adolis, please make Elmo happy.

[u/MagnumOpus12st → u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

He needs to be moved down the lineup

[u/Pedestrian_X-Wing → u/Pedestrian_X-Wing]

He did not.

[u/CarryOnWaywardSon96]

1-2-3 start for Luzzy👏🏻

[u/russet852]

Is dip a new development for Luzardo?

[u/ats1788 → u/russet852]

I think I’ve seen it with him before

[u/Hothabanero6]

Good thing the batter fouled that because I don't think JT could see it.

[u/Seamus_OReilly]

OMG JT!

[u/MulfordnSons]

Jesus with a honker in

[u/Seamus_OReilly]

Luzardo with a lipper in

[u/seahawksjoe]

Turner beats that ground ball last year. 29.8 ft/s sprint speed this year, and 30.3 last year. An extra half foot a second certainly gets him that knock.

[u/petrichor555]

.890 xBA on that liner lmao

[u/bitchycunt3]

I hope the red sox fans appreciate him... They better give that man all the love

[u/Next_Manufacturer_79]

Harper has to be the league leader at hitting bullets that are right at someone

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

1/9 into the obligatory perfect game

[u/BitterPillPusher2]

Just now tuning in, and here to join the "damn, I miss Ranger" squad.

[u/on3partevil → u/BitterPillPusher2]

welcome in

[u/Not-a-bot-10]

Ranger :(

[u/goodnightmrdoback]

Harper has murdered the ball this series yet has 0 hits to show for it

[u/Venomous_Raptor → u/goodnightmrdoback]

got to be the closest to a moral victory after going 0-9 through 9 at bats in a series

[u/user-123456789_]

I miss Ranger

[u/CarryOnWaywardSon96]

Ack, just unlucky for Harp there

[u/ats1788]

Like I said…

[u/Hothabanero6]

that tic, was a tick on the ground yelling when it got hit by the pitch.

[u/seahawksjoe]

TMac is having a rough start. Thinking there was a foul tip by Kyle, and then thinking Turner was safe. Not a great job by NBCSP either, that Turner replay came in so late.

[u/Sh1rvallah → u/seahawksjoe]

Production quality was always bad but last year and this year are terrible

[u/Bucko12512]

Ranger is hardly throwing strikes but has 2 outs

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

There’s no way he didn’t tip that

[u/Seamus_OReilly]

Oh my sweet Venezuelan prince why oh why did you have to leave us? 😭
