7-4... Yankees' game 3

[UNCBlue012]

They'll add at the deadline too.

I'm sure we will as well but I expect them to add Machado, bullpen arms and maybe more. They'll probably go all-in because Philly.

I only speak for myself here, but I think the most frustrating part about this entire experience is that Atlanta has been really solid all year and the Phillies have been coasting and barely beating teams but could be 1.5 games behind after today. Just really unfortunate.

46-37 is coasting?

And the Phillies month of June was all vs teams above .500

But it is sad we could be in 2nd after this weekend.

Well, looking at the bright side, it was a 94 MPH fastball.

That makes me think their gun is slightly off, haha

If we don't plunk judge or Stanton, I'll be pissed

+7 run diff is pretty much coasting. For comparison, we're still at +81, Yankees are at +112. All other teams around the Phillies' run differential (Rays, Cardinals) have like 3 less wins (all of this is probably as of last night). Their pythagorean record has them at .500 (42-41). We "should" be like 7-8 games up on them.

I thought the gun might be hot when Chapman was throwing 104, but according to statcast he threw 4-5 that would have rounded to 104.

This. The Phillies are an OK to good team but that’s about all they are right now. +7 is decent.

I came back to see Freddie coming out. Surely it’s nothing serious?

Agreed. The Braves are clearly better than the Phils.

That can obviously change if the Phils go big at the deadline though.

We really need to consider moving Julio out of the rotation. The guy has been throwing meat all year.

Hope so. Announcing crew haven't really said anything other than "Ooh, was hoping Freeman could stay in after that and was just going into the locker room to take practice swings".

 

[striker42]

Freddie needs the all star break

I’m thinking it’s just the elbow swelling and stiffening up. I hope I’m right and nothing is fractured.

Honestly...why? Newcomb was trash yesterday and Tehran is expected garbage today...why be mad? Pitching has lost us this series...

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Why is a team from Atlanta complaining about sweating?

I honestly didn't understand how Newcomb had a problem last night compared to normal home games either, but every time he tipped his cap, like a liter of sweat dripped off. I thought it was raining for a sec.

Freddie needs more than that...

Because they injured Freddie? Even if it's a "fake" injury because he knows they're gonna lose. Not like Teheran throws hard enough to hurt anyone anyway.

For clarity, I don't actually want them to throw at Stanton unless Sabathia hits another guy.

I don't like our best player on the bench from getting hit.
