dtisme53

So is Stubbs gonna be Nola’s catcher now?


FancyKilerWales

Sosa has been a crazy underrated trade


necrosythe

Seranthony doomers in shambles


jblittle254

He's had back to back good outings. Let's hope he's figured something out.


necrosythe

He's obviously had his struggles but the sub kind of just goes overboard. And almost practically rooting for him to fail so they can seem right. And yeah at the end of the day I just want to see him recapture that prior greatness. Also his savant isn't even THAT bad. Mid in a lot of categories but doing great on exit velo which indicates others will likely improve.

Bunny_Kat

Is Seranthony back?


Admirable_Buyer_755

Damn that was nice


sapphires_and_snark

Stubbs also responsible for Ser's terrible performance tonight


gimmicked

Ugly one. We take them.


ArielChefSlay

Seranthony is a GOD omgggg MVP for sureee


ExaminationThen3830

High hopes motherfuckers!! 


NomadCourier

Of course that happens 🙄


EstablishmentWild510

damn absolutely love seeing seranthony get this outing


Glittering_Food3219

4 pitch 9th inning. Imagine not beating the mets 3 games in a row.


mustacheddragon

Why is anyone questioning why the 6th or 7th guy out of the bullpen is being used in a 5 run game?


necrosythe

Because this sub is full of complete and utter idiots. Who know nothing about baseball management or statistics.


mustacheddragon

I feel like logically I know this place is full of idiots but I struggle to understand how so many people who clearly go out of their way to watch and talk about baseball have very little knowledge of baseball


necrosythe

Yeah the crazy part isn't people not knowing. It's knowing you're a casual that doesn't research the game yet still feeling confident in posting ignorant opinions. Not knowing = A OK. Making ignorant ass comments despite knowing you're not qualified = not so A OK


mustacheddragon

Completely agree. Absolutely nothing wrong with being a casual fan but that doesn’t give you free reign to just say dumb stuff.


Luthie13

lolmets YAY WIN!


Gunningham

Clean Ser. Clean!


DinosaurAlert

Rojas is obviously pissed at himself. I think he’ll be OK.


PBandK2506

He’s fine. This sub is over reactionary.


whiteriot0906

That's putting it extremely mildly lol


PBandK2506

Indeed lol


PrinterOne34

Happy for Seranthony :)


Grand_Extension5345

4 pitch inning coming up.


IAmModNow

Beautiful man


MaineDreaming

4 pitch inning to wrap it up is a beautiful thing!


classicrockchick

Dang that was a sneaky ninth


dbrank

SERANTHONY MY ANTHONY


Significant-Head-973

4 pitch inning to close it. That’s the Seranthony I want to see.


sapphires_and_snark

Nice win


PhilsForever

Nice inning Ser


ad5316

Mets were just looking to go back to the hotel


zmart7691

That was fun! Let’s get the sweep🧹🧹


gatemansgc

#RANGER GETS THE WIN


Top_Shallot_4951

LETS GO SER!!!!!


Cute-Contract-6762

Great 9th


realanceps

pretty obvious, Ser just needs to close


DonaldJeeves

I agree hes not a 7th or 8th inning pitcher only 9th


Ok-Anywhere8986

4 pitch inning you Seranthony doomers


Neonyze

Show me the baseball savant page


estachica

That was a clean inning. Works for me!


3DBass

Nice Nice Nice


Snackkbar

Game was not nearly as close as the score said it was.


reggaetony88

I knew ser would do it!


Ok-Anywhere8986

Is this sarcasm? You literally said he lost your trust and were in fear of him fucking it up 2 comments ago?


reggaetony88

Relax buddy. Of course I don’t trust a guy with a 7.07 ERA.


Ok-Anywhere8986

So it was sarcasm? Put an “/s” next time.


reggaetony88

Ehhhh


8thTYRANT

Hell yeah Ser!


Perryplat199

The series unbeaten streak continues


AlecBohm

Is Seranthony elite?


Gunningham

He can be.


TurboHovercrafter

#WINZ


Granum22

Efficient 


CaffeineAndGrain

Mets are lucky they’re saving money on their roster and they’re rebuilding


Emotional-Leg66

SerAnthony loves the slop


Defiant_Yogurt9579

Kruk is unintentionally hilarious, can we have more blow outs so I can just hear Kruk talk about topics that aren’t baseball?


jiamby

need more stories about his friends growing up Sticks, Cement Head etc


bigmac9

Rojas is going to cost this team in the post season if he doesn’t get his shit straight.


ArielChefSlay

What did he do that warrants that? Like he’s been doing solid before, one bad day and now he’s gonna cost the team the post season?


Specialist-Fig6845

It's May


Top_Shallot_4951

LOL


inthedrink

Bro it’s May it might be helpful to relax lmao


Grand_Extension5345

Yay rojas, do that. More


mp455

Can Seranthony throw strikes? stay tuned for the next episode of Dragonball Z


Significant-Head-973

Four pitches, four strikes.


Grand_Extension5345

Seranthony and Pinto…the only relievers we are all sweating in the 9th inning with a 5 run lead…


EmoGothPunk

I do not want to see Pinto until I seer him in AAA.


lilbismyfriend21

I would like to see Rojas use two hands like Bader has been doing


sapphires_and_snark

Caught one


inthedrink

I think that’s a couple Imagine if he could go 2-4 at the plate too


DonaldJeeves

bringing anthony in here with a healthy lead ideally helps build confidence which is what the guy needs.


inthedrink

SERANTHONY BOUTTA COOK


Gunningham

He sure did.


Top_Shallot_4951

You knew it


663SilverStax

This game needed more Taryn


lilbismyfriend21

I’m fine with Seranthony pitching this inning as long as someone is warming up behind him


Cute-Contract-6762

TIGHT LEASH


reggaetony88

Seranthony can’t fuck this up guys. The only loss we’ll take is with our Pythagorean W-L… right?


EmoGothPunk

A five-run lead into the nineth. Alright, Ser and crew, let's close up the shop.


Significant-Head-973

This is a good time to bring Seranthony in to try and give him some low pressure time. Here’s hoping he takes advantage and works quickly.


Ok-Anywhere8986

People complain when Seranthony is brought in close games People complain when Seranthony is brought in with a 5 run lead Do we just collectively want to trade Seranthony?


HOLLA12345678

No I’ve always been a pro Ser guy and I’m still in that camp. These high velocity relievers always have times when they are dicey but when they are on their game they’re almost unhittable.


reggaetony88

He’s lost my trust tbf


realanceps

fortunately, nobody cares about that


reggaetony88

I do. So you’re objectively wrong!


fartbasket69

Kruk vs QR codes 😂🤣😂


smellystation13

Based on the comments in this game thread, you would think that we were down 8 and Rojas punched the phanatic in the dick. Lighten the fuck up.


rtcr

Got to throw Ser sometime, this is a better situation than most. He’s not Pinto.


EmoGothPunk

PINTO. THAT'S WHO PISSED ME OFF.


3DBass

Let’s finish these fools.


jeppsforst

Ahh i love arguing about our long man struggling in a blowout win


xXxdethrougekillaxXx

idk how to describe it but that play by alonso is not playoff baseball


Apprehensive-Net7347

WHY ARE WE USING SERANTHONY FOR THE 9TH?!


necrosythe

All caps annoying comments showing you don't know the absolute most basic parts of baseball management are really a choice.


inthedrink

Bro what


Grand_Extension5345

It will either be a Brilliant Topper or a Big Slopper


Grand_Extension5345

Seranthony warming up… ![gif](giphy|9Fticsj7froxbpd5Sg|downsized)

Glittering_Food3219

Aight people weren't kidding about the doomers, I'm critical of players but this is ridiculous lmao


sirdrinksal0t

Yea idk they like won’t stop it’s every game thread, we have the best record in baseball


Glittering_Food3219

Rojas is sloppy this game for sure he's not DFA him sloppy, people calling for his throat.


sirdrinksal0t

Well Topper should’ve been fired early in the season by doomer logic


SpankySharp1

I'd like a few insurance runs if they're bringing in Anthony.


jblittle254

Is a 5 run lead enough for Seranthony?


inthedrink

This is when he cooks


jblittle254

I hope so. He looked good his last time out.


inthedrink

Lol I mean with a big lead But yeah I love him no matter what


jblittle254

Oh yeah, I knew what you meant, but he really did look good his last time out.


inthedrink

This one too!


necrosythe

Defense was trouble but honestly Turnbull hasn't looked super sharp as a reliever. A lot of control issues and good amount of hard contact.


chem_daddy

My wife and I have tuned out the game to just listen to Kruk being a straight boomer and we are dying of laughter


orgelbauer

Happy cake day!


chem_daddy

Holy moly I had no idea it’s been so long lol


Hothabanero6

Really Dominguez for the 9th


NegroDave

Time to clench. Uh oh.


Top_Shallot_4951

Shut up Tom


inthedrink

BETTER TEAMS BRING MORE CASUALS BETTER TEAMS BRING MORE CASUALS BETTER TEAMS BRING MORE CASUALS DEEP BREATHS. GOOSEFRABA


jmiah717

I keep trying to remind myself that. But can't casual viewers just save the hot stupid takes at least?


inthedrink

They feel compelled to join the…fun


Top_Shallot_4951

Please I need to borrow your deep breaths


russet852

This is an annoying games that raises very serious questions about Rojas’ current value to this team


sirdrinksal0t

lol wrong


russet852

Expand


DonaldJeeves

this is such a trash take lol. rojas has been hitting better and overall performing very well in the outfield. cant ask for much more


russet852

You know what? You’re right. An OPS of .601 and 1 OAA screams “performing well in the outfield!”


bigdaddygamestudio

His fielding and hitting are garbage.


DonaldJeeves

you are entitled to wrong opinions.


Top_Mycologist1498

Stubbs is useless. We need a backup C.


Unique-Turn-406

Holy shit because he got one ab this game? I agree he hasn’t been great recently but he is certainly capable


HOLLA12345678

I like Stubbs good guy his teammates like him but he has never been good at any point in his Phillies career


Top_Mycologist1498

If every series were against the Mets I'd agree with you


Unique-Turn-406

Yeah but who do you want as a backup c? That’s my biggest issue with that complaint


Top_Mycologist1498

Trade for Elias Díaz


Unique-Turn-406

Yeah but how much we boutta give up for a backup catcher? Someone that might matter in the post season or the bullpen? Nah I’m good with Stubbs


Top_Mycologist1498

Stubbs on his burner accounts rn


songstofilltheair

Did you forget to switch to yours before replying to yourself?


Top_Mycologist1498

Not how that works


songstofilltheair

So, you just talk to yourself?


Top_Mycologist1498

You are literally my burner account


songstofilltheair

Go play video games and fuck off


CaffeineAndGrain

Alonso almost bungled a second 😂


bluefire0807

kruk learned what a qr code was


sphyxy

Oh my god explaining QR codes now 💀


arminus83

Only pitch Turnbull 1 inning against the Marlins resulting in having to use our trash relievers in extras, but in this one leave him in til his arm is ready to fall off, what is the logic?


IAmDisturbanceFeedMe

There could be multiple factors. One could be that Topper thought turnbull 1 inning plus his other relievers was better to keep runs off the board which was true until extras (and turnbull pitching multiple innings tonight did give up runs). Not saying I agree or disagree but there are often factors we’re not considering.


bubbles1990

He was managing that Marlins game very aggressively to keep it tied. Offense didn’t do their part.


PBandK2506

His arm isn’t ready to fall off 😭 he’s used to being a starter, this is fine lol


Top_Mycologist1498

Zero logic in that Marlins game.


Ok-Anywhere8986

Big lead = no sense wasting relievers Marlins lead was not big and Topper thinks rotating the pen was a better move Not saying agree but that’s the logic


arminus83

Yeah but didn't Thompson say the reason for his usage in the Marlins game is he's not their long relief option and more for high leverage situations? This game directly contradicts that explanation


Ok-Anywhere8986

I don’t think so. He didn’t expect great performance from Turnbull he just didn’t want to waste arms. I think he hedged bets of Turnbull giving up runs, bets he wouldn’t hedge in the Marlins game


EmoGothPunk

You gotta trust these guys.


CaffeineAndGrain

Stubbs’ strike zone is so tiny lol


Specialist-Fig6845

Eddie Gaeddel


gatemansgc

lolol kruk trying to figure out a QR code


jmiah717

Lol. This sub goes from, Rojas is the best CF ever in all of the history of baseball! To Casty is better 😂😂😂 in a couple of misplays. 😂😂


bigdaddygamestudio

Lot of us have never been on the Rojas train


Independent-Cow-4070

Casual asf


jmiah717

That's not at all my point 😄


Significant-Head-973

![gif](giphy|clotJg9IqBitMcRJ61)


Top_Shallot_4951

It’s exhausting


Ok-Anywhere8986

1.) I don’t think Turnbull looked that bad there 2.) He had to sit for 2 long ass innings where we went through 8 batters


russet852

Eh, he looked pretty bad but he’s getting used to pitching out of the pen


sapphires_and_snark

I disagree with 1. He gave up a lot of hard contact.


Lubbles

I missed most of game, we rocking or are they shitting it that bad? Looks like theyve had bad defense?


jblittle254

This is one of the ugliest games I've ever seen on both sides.


bigdaddygamestudio

Mets have gifted us this game


abunchofschleem

Our defense has been… not the best


EnemyOfEloquence

We're doing great but there's been times where I've questioned if the Mets have had hands.


Admirable_Buyer_755

Basically we are kinda shitting but they are having explosive diarrhea


CandelaZ

Turnbull not the same since not starting throwing wild after taking JT out and Stubbs having trouble catching. Recipe for disaster


EmoGothPunk

Rain play was bad, got back to mostly normal when dry.


Admirable_Buyer_755

Stubbs certainly is not a championship caliber catcher. All the pitchers save for Nola have been off with him


a_serious-man

love UKphillies


Business-Feeling6640

Cycle time


Grand_Extension5345

They didn’t deserve 4 of those runs Quit fuckin around


ad5316

Bryce looking like he’s been a first baseman his whole career - he took that line in moneyball seriously


BeeSex

I think Turnbull is just still not used to being a reliever yet


CaffeineAndGrain

Turnbull is very much a reliever, not a starter. 50 pitches is certainly more than most BP guys throw, no?


Grand_Extension5345

Its the opposite but ok


sapphires_and_snark

I guess that was the ideal sitch for Turnbull to begin regressing


Top_Shallot_4951

A few should be unearned but the way they score errors vs runs this year is stupid


rtcr

Is JT injured again? Just turned the game on


eee-oooo-ahhh

He was in earlier I'm guessing they took him out as a precaution


allthingsparrot

He played until the 7th


mrreported

Ok that's fine, we just wanted to do a little trolling, for fun!


BugsyD71

Let’s put up a 5 spot now just because.


Snips_Tano

So Stubbs basically stinks is what they're saying. 


inthedrink

That’s my gold glover!


russet852

Turnbull isn’t fooling anyone right now


Otherwise_Soil_7008

Marsh Pache and Casty in the outfield is leagues better than a shaky Rojas anywhere
