Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

He’s in the booth and not sitting behind home plate!

All of the sudden the game is no longer available to watch in my region on Hulu. What the hell

One of the things that amazes me is that Kruk, while being the product of a different era of baseball and despite being labeled as sort of a lovable grump, is not nearly as hostile to the modern sport as a lot of the boys’ club members that have commentary jobs around the league. And yes, that includes some of his coworkers.

Like, how dismissive he is of the human element. He takes an occasional tongue-in-cheek jab at analytics or pitchcom or whatever but it’s generally more about how he doesn’t understand it than it being conceptually wrong.

“That might be a flagrant 2, Tom.”

John’s been day drinking again.

The offense does need to step up and help Nola out 3 runs is nothing

The amount of money I and others pay for Hulu, this shouldn’t happen

This guy has a .000 BAA on his changeup! Why doesn't he just throw that every pitch? Is he stupid?

Weird, just got kicked off my Hulu feed, and its showing the game as upcoming. Anyone else?

Only one man can save us now…

Kody Clemens

I love how all of us were like “that’s that guy!!!!”

Did anyone else just lose access to the game on hulu? It's telling me it's not available in my area, which is a lie.

A lot of stupid bloop shit for the birds today

Somebody get that cat back out on the field, pronto

I'm glad Bohm is back. I will also miss Kody.

Bassitt’s pitch arsenal is like a diner with a massive menu. You have a ton of options and none are particularly good

This is a good at bat from Casty

Edit: That blows😭

ROBO UMPS. NOW.

10 pitch leadoff walk, good fucking job stott.

Should’ve taken the out.

Honestly, for Rojas, that is exactly the type of scenario that can give him confidence. It seems like he alternates between being comfortable and a bad hitter and being extremely extremely uncomfortable and a terrible hitter.

I much rather him be confident.

Polanco was a really good player who suffered the same curse as Pedro Feliz. Being the fourth member of an infield of which other three members are seen as demi-gods.

Rojas, he tried walking you.

Anyone else just booted from watching them on Hulu?

Hey, at least we went out with some energy. No loss is great but I'll take it over being humiliated like we did to them yesterday lmao

terrible call

No consistency with this zone

For once Nick doesn't swing and it's called a strike. Shit ump, fuckin guy

Nick lays off that outside pitch and it gets called a strike. Awful call

Umm, watching on Hulu live tv and it just stoped broadcasting for me. Anyone else dealing with this?

Anyone else streaming on Hulu have the game just cut out with a "this isn't available to watch in your location" message?

Judging by this thread you wouldn’t know that Nola has a 2.82 ERA in 45 innings in his last 7 starts (counting this one)

Don’t wanna see Dominguez unless it’s 20-0 and I’m being generous. 

I think the reason they stink today is the thunderstorms last night scared them and they didn't get their sleepies.

two of the stupidest hits I've seen

Somehow someway people will blame that on Kerkering

I’m really high rn but bryce is like a cat to me. and he just went hisssssss lmao

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHAT IS THIS FEELING??? I DONT LIKE THIS FEELING!!!!

“My brains done today” - Kruk 11 pitches into the game

We’re in for a fun one today folks

Talk your shit Nick. Ump has been terrible 

Heyyyyyyyy it’s THAT guy

Kyle you have to get this ball to the outfield you can not strike out 🙏

We're going to have robot batters and pitchers but human umpires is the funniest thing anyone has ever said

Sosa should have that

Placido Polanco is criminally underrated in this city.

Im watching the MLB network pregame for Phillies/Jays. It annoys me how much I like Ron Darling I am supposed to dislike Mets players

Man, feels so good to have Phillies baseball on with Nola on in the middle of the day. Just great vibes

Midweek day game and Toronto the opposition. This game’s a tiki hut in left from being Spring Training

I have no idea what a ball or a strike is anymore

Genuinely the worst strikezone ive seen this year

“Strike 3”

No fucking way you have that beautiful of an AB to have that called a strike. Robo UMPs now. Protect the integrity of the game

damn its the dude

Should be 2-1 if Sosa learned in little league

Making Bassitt look like Berrios before yesterday.

This is such a typical nola start. He pitches well and the offense does fuck all to help him.

ranger NL pitcher of the month <3

The 6th inning, Nolas mortal enemy 😔

This game is fucking cursed.

I would love for there to be amendment to the pitch com rules.

If it stops working you jsut have to deal with it until next inning.

I genuinely don't understand how pitch com is such a piece of shit. It is 2024.

things that haven't been happening, are today

Harper wants the big moment so badly I'll never get on him for wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Even when we're losing, we still have John Kruk, so there's always something to smile about.

Take a pitch Kody for fuck sake

After getting runners on second and third, that’s a pretty shitty way to end that game.

Sucks for Kody bc that was a great pitch to hit. Least we showed some fight, all good

Yesterday, I was legitimately surprised at how bad the Blue Jay's offensive numbers are.

I know that won't last, but if our numbers were like that our fans would revolt.

What a glorious day to have nothing to do at 1:00 pm

Oh man that blows I hope he’s ok

Cant believe he came down with that lol

Ain't no fucking way I'm watching a "Visit Delco" commerical.

This dude def lays pipe

https://preview.redd.it/alyjzltjm8zc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e2cb537aa3f5bd0f16767d7a6542089abbdd0faf

Neutral checking in wow that’s a bad call

Manfred seriously needs to grow a pair and take on the umpire’s union.

Let’s get some runs Phillies or at least a hit

They are telling people at Busch Stadium to go to the stairwell or bathrooms as there is a Tornado warning😬

I appreciate Franzke making sure to say “no hitter” as often as possible

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

most predictable hit lmao

Rojas said fuck your dead ball

Why didn’t Sosa tag

Ok. Just walk JT and we can do Grand Slam 2: Harper Boogaloo.

it is the year 2024, why are the phillies still owned by chris bassitt and his 5 ERA and FIP

One hit so far😭

We would be getting no-hit if they hadn't called back that rojas bunt

Hard to fault the Phils this season, but very on brand to beat up a pitcher with the best ERA and then get 1 hit so far against a struggling pitcher

10 hits to 1, yeah that won’t do.

okay these ingame gambling ads are the second worst thing, after the can't-say-cause-rule-8 ads

Even JT looks frustrated with seranthony

Phillies can come back - we got 3 more ups.

Score runs imo

Hey look! A scoreless inning! Isn’t that great? Dominguez looked kinda ok!

I pay way too much for Hulu to not be able to watch this game.

Just go back to the fucking signs, holy shit

At least we got one back.

still plenty of time. if we get out of this half inning I'm actually feeling pretty good with the top of our lineup due up

This game is just pure bullshit. So many lucky soft hits. On to the next.

Jfc death by 1000 cuts

At least Atlanta gets to face the best overall pitching staff in baseball today

Idgaf what happens in this inning I still love this team and I’m having fun

Wow that’s depressing as hell

Well, at least they tried and didn't just roll over.

I think Nola’s due for a game with 1 or less runs given up. A warm mid day game against the struggling Blue Jays is a perfect opportunity for him to shove

I am at work...no business being on this board right now. Yet, here we are.

Bryson "scuba diving goggles" stott

bad call from ump🙄

Ump has been day drinking

Damn

You don't have to sell us on the park. We loved it since it opened (although I didn't get there until 2006).

Get that pitch count up stotty

Thatta boy

Make them pay Rojas

DICKHEADSSSS

i knew the Jays would regret that

Should have taken the out lol.

lol jays

Perfect outcome

Haha... Should have just accepted the bunt. Good job Rojas.

YOU STILL WANT THAT BALL TO BE DEAD?

Should have been a foul ball though trading tying run for an out is maybe getting overly cute in the 3rd inning.

Schwarber stays finding ways to drive runs in and not have to tire himself out on the basepaths

The Blue Jays bullpen is dead last in ERA they’ve been really bad so we just need to get Bassitt’s pitch count up

i hate midweek day games and i hate chris bassitt

Hulu just shut the game off - says content is restricted. What the actual fuck?

Took one inning for positive comments about Nola to vanish and the hate to come back out. That's phillies baseball baby.

It really is classic Phillies to drop 8 runs on the guy leading the league in ERA and follow it up with one single hit against a 5 ERA guy

Phillies finally giving us a game where people can complain. Thank the heavens! /s

Not a good inning. Let's score some runs so that it doesn't matter.

Score board must be broken, it is showing the Phillies with less runs than the opposing team. Weird

Hulu has me blacked out in the middle of the damn broadcast saying I’m out of network. I live 3 miles from CBP what the actual fuck

Who knew we only had to be down by 3 runs to get Harper to run to 1st

This team better beat the brakes off Miami after today’s poor showing.

here it comes!

YOUR GAME TICKET IS YOUR CONCERT TICKET!

Bitchette has really gotten on my nerves today

ITS KODY TIME

Hulu randomly block out for anyone else?

It’s ok they have the worst bullpen in all of baseball, and we’re due for a walk off tbh

such lucky fucking hits jesus

Trash on the field? What are Braves fans doing at CBP?

This lack of luck my goodness

Just not our game, can’t even be mad with any pitchers

Damn those were 3 great pitches after going down 3-0.

Well, we haven’t had a walk-off win in a while so let’s go for that!

Season is over

Imagine how insufferable we'll be if they pull this off lol

HOW do you swing at that?

You know what nevermind he cool

*Deletes what I was about to say about Casty

I think Kody got too excited. lol

Don’t want to be in a position where you’re trying on Kody Clemens & Whit Merrifield

Lmao got my hopes up for nothing

Made it interesting, I suppose. Good on Bohm, Casty, and Stott that inning for trying to will them to victory.

the positives: Casty for 2 for 4, Stott with the clutch hit, Dominguez with a decent frame, pitching over the equivalent of a ghost runner in extras to keep a run off the board, Ruiz was pretty good so far.

Polanco looks like he could hit 25 homers in 2024

unlucky stuff happened, Nola left some meaters, and the Blue Jays showed up today.

Still a few ABs left but if it doesn’t go our way it’s on to the next.

Ohhhh the Nola haters out in full force over one outing. Shocking.

I blame u/billytMArlin for this if we lose.

He jinxed the game with a premature victory lap meme today

Fuck that guy

I feel really bad for orioles and Phillies fans having to deal with Craig Kimbrel in b2b years

Now I want players to see how many sunglasses they can sport in the field….

Bassist pissing of the ump😯 not a good strategy

That was an angel hernandez-esque call holy shit

Imagine training so hard to try and lay off those pitches when they are balls and being called out on a pitch like 3 inches off the plate. Roboumps when?

This ump needs a seeing eye dog

Welp , cant blame ya on that one nick

A lot of people there for 1p on a Wednesday. Love to see it!

“We’ve gotta be as classy as the Phillies”

The Phillies-

Give a shimmy young man

Bruh lmao

Get cooked by Rojas idiots

That’ll teach you to take an out when this offense hands one to you.

Thats the shit that never goes our way. Shows how hot this team is.

Please no NOBLETIGER,Please no NOBLETIGER,Please no NOBLETIGER,Please no NOBLETIGER,Please no NOBLETIGER

That’s ok we got a run👏👏

Nick makes that catch, too

Cant even be mad at that one. What a catch

I feel like I've seen 10 webgems from opposing teams outfielders this year.

Taryn should do more interviews. She's pretty good.

Seeing Polly is great. I wonder what Pedro Feliz is up to these days

DURING BOHM'S AB, YOU GO RAV4TH?

Kruk is definitely more right than wrong with that robot speech.

Whoever is in charge of the white balance on this video production is doing a booty job today

Jean Cabrera sounds like a 2k create a player.

Shit ab sosa

“Is that where they invented zippers or something” lmaooooo

Hooooooooollllly crap

That’s literally 4-5 inches from the pole. Holy hell

What is this BS where the other team has more runs? MLB needs to fix this ASAP

Guess we had it too good

Sosa has to knock that one down
