This Is Gonna Suck: 2016 Phillies Season Thread

[SD]

Horrible

[ice grillin you]

why would you squeeze after blanco is gassed from stretching that into a triple...which by the way was great baserunning with one out gives you a chance for the sac fly which is another reason not to squeeze then

Neris hung that out to dry.

bourjos sucks

[ice grillin you]

so does blanco when he cant breathe

either way much higher % play to hope bourjos puts a ball in play than pray for a successful squeeze

[MDS]

you and i could score on a squeeze...its all about getting the ball in play, the condition of the runner is secondary

first pitch after a triple with a shtein hitter up was an obvious squeeze spot and the injuns got them. next time do it 1-1 or 2-1.

Six straight.  How is this even possible?  They might be the worst hitting Phillies team of the last 40 years.  Their bullpen is suspect and the starters are straight unknowns or never-were's.

Just amazing.

42 K's in 18 IP is just insane.  I know he's pitching against a bunch of blueberry farmers' kids but still...
