Is there a worse fastball hitting team in the league? Feels like these guys get beaten by 93 all the time

Braves should be up 3-0 at least. Giolito not fooling anyone…well, except for the guys batting with runners on base

Would be nice if he could catch a few as well

Ozzie is a stupid player doing stupid things. Other than that, that was a really good 9th inning that ended prematurely because of a terrible ump

How valuable that steal by Ozzie would have been!

My point is this: they had an approach in 2023 that was effective but simplistic (look for fastball early in the count, annihilate it, Score early before the pitcher settles in). That stopped working in 2024 (or arguably the 2023 playoffs), as more and more teams caught on to what the Phillies...

This offense continues to be a mystery. It feels like these hitters are constantly getting outsmarted, and are always one step behind the opposing pitcher. They are beaten by average fastballs that should be punished, which implies they are staying back for the offspeed stuff...but then they are...

If Strider is still topping out at 96 in July, it may be time to get worried. But right now, he could still be shaking off the rust, or need some time to fully trust the elbow again.

Strider does not look comfortable out there. Keeps blowing his hands, location is off.

Looked like it should have hit muscle. Hopefully just s bruise for Harper

Bowman's take on this is foolish. There are tough errors that are not the result of poor field conditions. Balls can take unpredictable bounces. I don't think Snitker was throwing anyone under the bus.

You‘re fooling yourselves if you think Snitker is getting fired. I truly believe the club thinks he deserves the Bobby Cox treatment. Best case is him announcing the retirement in the next couple of months, then getting a farewell tour the rest of the season. As I posted a few weeks ago: I...

Machado is top-5 most annoying players. Another 0-2 mistake

Schwellenbach is good and all, but he’s really annoying with the amount of hard hits he gives up with 2 strikes. Too many pitches end up in the hitter’s happy zone. For s guy that doesn’t walk many batters, his control really isn’t that great

I‘m afraid Ozzie is done as an offensive contributor. You see it not so much in the poor ABs where he gets himself out (he‘s always been prone to that), but in the ABs when he actually gets a pitch to hit and puts good wood on it…and the ball still goes nowhere. He‘s never been a big EV hitter...

That was actually a really good offensive showing against a quality opponent. Balanced attack, a couple of homers, but also other key hits. Constant pressure, not relying on one big inning. Some BABIP luck, but also some bullets for outs. Really should have had more than 7 runs.

Now, Harris. Please be patient

Ok, that should be it for Holmes

This. He saw the ball off the bat and had to know there‘s no chance in hell he has enough time to get back to 2B. Hard to blame anyone, really. Certainly not the coach, but also not Eli. It’s not like he wasn’t hustling, or ignored the coach. Just an honest, human mistake. Everyone gets a brain...

No freaking way
