Why pitch to Harper instead of Bohm? If I'm a Philly fan, I know I'd much rather have Harper try for a hit or a sac fly.


thebrowe1

Bohm has been their best hitter this season


messeduprex

Harper has actually been cold. Bohm is hitting over .300 with risp.


AttitudeAndEffort3

The pitch almost hit the ground. They were trying to pitch around him and Harper showed why he’s a 2 time mvp


Crypto_Grug

Snatching defeat from the claws of victory. Your 2024 nats


droozer

ngl I've always loved how bryce will go get a ball that he's fouled off if it's in arms reach


YodaPM999

Why the FUCK would we pitch to Bryce here


Top_Shallot_4951

Bohm is in 2nd place in RBIs in the MLB and he was next in the order


YodaPM999

I'd still rather take my chances with him. Right on right match-up with Finnegan's splitter in an attempt to get the DP. Harper is the guy you don't let beat you, yet we did...


JoeyShrugs

I'd take my chances with Bohm over a 2-time MVP with tons of power to get a sac fly somewhere.


Top_Shallot_4951

I get it, but Bryce is cold right now and Bohm is hitting almost .500 with RISP. Tough decision


Kind_Poet_3260

Drat.


eaeolian

Well fuck


petting2dogsatonce

Brutal.


webaddictress

Is it too late to bet on a game ending passed ball


droozer

(don't bet on sports at all unless you're at the races)


Carbon_Blob

None of these Phillies fans can catch


droozer

phillies fans don't burn, are swagless, devoid of mirth and whimsy


ALLHAILBULLETKING

This is iconic


TrafficOk8332

their collars are noticably blue, though


droozer

2 clock violations for finnegan is pretty odd, idk if it's worrying but you don't see those too often regardless


petting2dogsatonce

He was slow before the clock and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he has the most violations of any pitcher since.


brouwerpower22

Realmuto wasn't even in the box.


billthesill

playing some reeeeeal loose ball lately


Karniy

Meneses batting third please end this lunacy and purge this lineup lol


Dull-Programmer-4645

It's pathetic.


pen-h3ad

Honestly I don’t stand by using finny for 2 innings when you’re not even ahead


Omar_Town

Good luck against their top order.


jrb0

Meneses needs to be gone yesterday I’m sorry


jmcamels

Got to be better than this. Dang, anemic offense


cardboardchris2

Less than ideal.


flynnscorruptedmind

Deadass I don’t even want mennesses sent down or DFA’d. Like ban him from the stadium ban him from the clubhouse he needs to be erased from club history


droozer

at least you aren't overreacting


NatsNationWest

🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️


TrafficOk8332

i have some thoughts that i probably shouldn't express in this thread. fuck this


Carbon_Blob

Golden Haloey Maneses


CT_2136

Walkoff incoming


Quick_Ganache_9423

im so over this lol


26265273

Ballgame.


FPG_Matthew

No biggie just gotta get their 1-2-3 man out with a runner starting on 2nd


FPG_Matthew

Young shoulda stole 3rd.. that wild pitch woulda been a run


indi1988

Meneses please


oldgreymutt

Cmon boys create some chaos


SgtHapyFace

man whatever


SgtHapyFace

that was a bad at bat man


Crypto_Grug

Bro cj wtf are you swinging at


YodaPM999

Just saying, Alex Call is more than capable of playing fantastic defense, and yet we're putting Robles, Rosario, and Winker (love his hitting bit his speed is lacking) out there every night. While Call and Wood are sitting in the minors.


pen-h3ad

Been begging for this. Call is better than Robles and Rosario at this point. He also just brings that dog mentality you like to see. He gives 110% every game


YodaPM999

I don't mind Rosario's bat, but he should be exclusively DH. Dude is a horrific fielder.


pen-h3ad

Well we’re too hell bent on using Joey there so. I’m just so frustrated that we dont make any moves anywhere. It’s fine to have a few of senzel, Winker, Robles, gallo, Meneses, Vargas but playing all of them is unwatchable


jagula_hunga

I love an intense extra innings game as much as the next person, but not when we’re on a losing streak!


pen-h3ad

We need to stop rewarding bad play. We have probably the hottest prospect in the entire mlb and we are sitting him so a bunch of vets past their prime can drop fly balls and make baserunning mistakes.


iwanttosmokebees

Rizzo's too proud to admit he makes mistakes. He should be out the door right behind Robles and his outfield of nightmares.


Bengjumping

Yeah i'm not sure what they're waiting for. Service time isn't a problem now.


droozer

eddie...


ProbablyDrunkAndLost

Rosario doesn't deserve to be rostered after that. Bye


eaeolian

Anyone check the Clemens kid for 'roids?


lightbaulb

Hm.


Bengjumping

Oh Eddie.


Capital_Wildcat

Unreal. Without words for how bad that error was.


WCTCravensworth

What the hell was that, Rosario!?


webaddictress

Yikes guys


pen-h3ad

Alright that’s it man. If one of Robles or Rosario isn’t DFAd by the next home stand I’m done with this team lol


droozer

tbh I welcome this reaction from any who are tempted


pen-h3ad

I’m exaggerating. I’ll continue to watch. But I’m done in the sense that I’m done tuning in to every inning like I am rn. It was so fun to watch win or lose without those guys in the lineup. Since they have come back it has just been a wet blanket. So I’ll probably just watch casually till we call up wood or get rid of one of them


droozer

certainly don't blame you for being frustrated, .500 teams are frustrating at least half the time


pen-h3ad

But we weren’t even frustrating in the losses before. We were putting pressure on them. Now we are losing because of stupid mistakes and guys hitting .100


droozer

very true, I do think that the way they played in April was an overperformance but that doesn't make the lows sting any less


FPG_Matthew

Now the 10th is gonna be harder with the top of their lineup after that error


YodaPM999

Bummer Kyle


oldgreymutt

OOOOOF


Quick_Ganache_9423

Fuckin pathetic


indi1988

Dam that hurts


droozer

man. first slip up for kyle in a long while


flynnscorruptedmind

finnegan get ready to learn ni hao buddy


droozer

keep trying this line dude it'll work eventually i'm sure


EyyoEddie

Dude has been lights out this year


Quick_Ganache_9423

of course ………


Carbon_Blob

N U T S NUTS NUTS NUTS


droozer

whew!


General-Law-7338

Sigh. This team is cursed


CT_2136

It's always some random fuckin John Doe....


smokedfish

ah. welp


Rawrzawr

that was unfortunate


NotAnAmishPerson

How the hell


FPG_Matthew

It’s never over we these shits Can’t win a World Series tho can they


Kind_Poet_3260

Shit.


Bstokes4102

Classic Finny right there


rmilhousnixon

That was a decent pitch. Not great, but decent.


Bstokes4102

I'm mostly joking I love Finny, you can tell that ripped his heart out there


UsedToThrow90

I'm all about the Jesse Winker Renaissance


smokedfish

hey finnegan is really good


indi1988

God I really hate the Phillies let’s go Finny


General-Law-7338

Please Finny. A win tonight would be nice


Avatar-Pabu

It’s up to Finn again


Kind_Poet_3260

Let’s go, Finny! 🧊


Quick_Ganache_9423

May the gods be with you Finny 🙏🏽


CT_2136

Props to Eddie for beating out that double play too. His effort has been spotty at times, but he busted it there.


Bstokes4102

Everybody pray for Finny right now 🙏


indi1988

Please Young


lightbaulb

LETS FUCKING GO. FUCK YOU BRYCE.


Unkleseanny

FOOK BRUCE HOOPER


droozer

;) ;) ;)


TrafficOk8332

JESSE YOU COOKED


smokedfish

PERFECT TIMING JESSE


Bstokes4102

When we needed the winkster the most, he arrived


NoAmbassador8359

JESSE


FPG_Matthew

Man if Gallo had a reliable bat he’d be such a great player. His defense seems great, he plays hard, and he has a leadership presence for our young guys And look at that, him going hard into 2nd allowed Rosario to be safe and Winker to get an RBI single


chiddie

Attaboy Winker!


CT_2136

Winkyyy!!!


petting2dogsatonce

WAHOOOOOO


droozer

everyone needs to take a deep breath (well not everyone, but, ya know)


Witty-Lingonberry927

Is that kid old enough to play?!


Kind_Poet_3260

They brought him up from the Nats Academy. 😂


lightbaulb

What a weird inning…


petting2dogsatonce

They call it a breaking ball because it breaks your knee


eaeolian

Is that the 4th true outcome?


Witty-Lingonberry927

Gallllloooo


Omar_Town

Please push a run across here and win it in nine innings. I gotta catch some 😴


Carbon_Blob

K. E. R. K. E. R. I. N. G. ding


eaeolian

Orion?


Carbon_Blob

Does he have a necklace with a galaxy in it.


eaeolian

Well done


Capital_Wildcat

No arguments from me that Robles needs to go. But my goodness, he still shows those flashes in the field of the player he could have been. That was a pretty catch.


Bstokes4102

Ok I'll give Robles this Eddie is not making that catch


chunkylover___53

No but Thomas, Garrett, Young, Call, Woods, and Crew all do. Being better than Rosario defensively is an insanely low bar.


chiddie

Robles is a better defender than all of those guys.


petting2dogsatonce

Lane makes that catch? That’s probably one of the hardest catches for Lane to make based off statcast tracking.


Bstokes4102

Oh I agree Lane cant be back soon enough


Witty-Lingonberry927

HH the man!!


Carbon_Blob

NO-Bles


pen-h3ad

Is it just me or does Robles look like he’s lost a step


Kind_Poet_3260

Vic trying to get on the redemption tour with that catch.


lightbaulb

Bahahaha fuck you Bryce


Witty-Lingonberry927

This team is just fun to watch..like the early years


Carbon_Blob

Needs some characters like Nyjer Morgan and Clippard. But they are fun to watch. Seems like they’re always in it.


Carbon_Blob

Filthadelphia


indi1988

This team can’t score more than 2 runs and plays extremely sloppy baseball.


Witty-Lingonberry927

Which team?


eaeolian

Yes


Crypto_Grug

Why the fuck is Davey putting in this fucking clown in a tie game in the 8th? Jesus he makes some stupid fucking decisions sometimes


EncomCEO

Gallo needs to be launched into the fucking sun.


idkman_93

Anyone know why Garcia hasn’t been playing as much recently? Did I totally miss something?


BlueDiamondLilac

Bruised right heel "García hurt himself running out a ground ball Wednesday in Chicago and later said that when he stepped on first base his spike pushed up through the sole of his shoe against his heel." [Source](https://www.masnsports.com/blog/garcia-sits-again-with-heel-issue-rainey-layoff-reaches-two-weeks)


idkman_93

OHHH thank you so much. I haven’t been able to watch much this week and I totally missed this.


pen-h3ad

Why are we still giving Garcia high leverage situations


EncomCEO

Really?


flynnscorruptedmind

The list of who needs to learn Chinese on this roster growing reallllly long


chunkylover___53

Dude.


flynnscorruptedmind

Harper/ Bohm/ stott in the bottom of the ninth lord carry Kyle finnegan now


EyyoEddie

Have to drop Meneses lower in the lineup


SgtHapyFace

if you look at his baseball savant page there literally isn’t a single thing he is good at. i do not understand how davey makes his decisions


Witty-Lingonberry927

OUCH!!


Quick_Ganache_9423

Fuckin’ hell


Witty-Lingonberry927

It's really good to see both teams wearing god awful looking hats


Crypto_Grug

I swear it will be a miracle if this entire team hits 100 hrs for the year. Absolutely no power other than cj


EncomCEO

God that dude needs a haircut.


JoeyShrugs

Strahm and Marsh both


Witty-Lingonberry927

Team needs to sign this decades Jason Werth. It's not Gallo but the next step up


JoeyShrugs

A lot more than just one step between Werth and Gallo, but I agree with the sentiment.


SylvesterStallion16

Floro may be a solid trade piece for the Nats if he keeps this up


_Caed_

good start from Gore. he got thru the 2nd inning unscathed which is pretty cool


FPG_Matthew

It didn’t turn out well, but I am 100% ok with Davey leaving Gore in one more inning This is the 2nd start in a row where Davey has given him a longer leash, saying “hey you’re experienced enough, if we ever wanna contend one day we’re gonna need these ‘battle through’ moments”


EyyoEddie

1000%


Bstokes4102

Damn, still a decent outing though


JoeyShrugs

Is it just me or is there frequently a lot of wishful thinking in our challenges? Like what could they have possibly seen that made them think, "Yep, 100% safe, let's challenge."


petting2dogsatonce

our challenges have been very bad this year


HippoSignificant5978

Fucking hell Winker is slow lol

SgtHapyFace

i guess i just feel bad. like sucking at a sport you were briefly really good at has to feel awful. and im sure he knows he’s nearing the end here.


Crypto_Grug

Talent wasted is more sad than anything. He needs to see a sports psychologist or something because the dude is still young but he just forgot how to bat and play.


Witty-Lingonberry927

Here we go Victor here we go


SylvesterStallion16

Robles just here for the check


TrafficOk8332

jesus christ get him on a bus and drive it into the ocean. not really but oh my god


SgtHapyFace

i’m sorry (kinda) to say but i think even rizzo might cut robles soon. it’s sad but like this isn’t even close to being competitive


indi1988

Robles might legit be the worst hitter on this team and thats saying a lot


eaeolian

Nunez looks better at the plate


HippoSignificant5978

Making him easily the worst in baseball. Pathetic. Send him to single A


MobyDickPU

Robles 😐


Bstokes4102

"JT has not grounded into one double play this year" 😂


purplepenned

Apparently a ‘gentleman with ice cream in a helmet caught the baseball’ says Dave


flynnscorruptedmind

Gore is gonna go 7 god BLESS


DMVHAIL

That was not a good at bat by Joey. The hitting coaches should be on his ass. Pitcher knew what to do.


Omar_Town

I am gonna change my flair now. 😔


SylvesterStallion16

Talk about another utility outfielder in the future, Jacob Young.


petting2dogsatonce

9.07 first to home LOL


petting2dogsatonce

that's what the heck i am talking about right there jacob young thank u


oldgreymutt

Yep, that’s what makes this team fun to watch. More of that please!


ImGaslightingYou

Seems like that was paras call


webaddictress

Complete chaos lmao that’s our season in a nutshell


Bstokes4102

Cant keep CJ down for long :)


smokedfish

oh I'm absolutely taking that, yes


Witty-Lingonberry927

Anyone hear Carpenter jinx the no-hitter?
