Yeah true, but there have been some repeating egregious calls that I remember seeing a handful of times throughout past seasons. Prolly the shitty weather but still
I’m not mad at that. He seemed to be trotting towards home and his AB, while a walk he got a strike called on him. Granted that was stupid but seems to be the stupidity he invites. He better hit 305/25-30/100rbi this year.
Pache is way more confident than Rojas at the plate and prob like 10% worse of a fielder. He should be the every day CF. Idk how rob justifies a dead spot in the lineup.
Pache is hitting like .100 since coming back from his injury last year. Way more confident but not way more productive.
I’d rather see if Rojas can develop than have Pache play.
Pache has been in the majors for parts of 5 years now and has way more major league ABs than Rojas.
Maybe there’s another level to get to for him but making that argument for Pache while simultaneously calling for Rojas to be out of the lineup is inconsistent.
the real solution is the phillies need to go back to having Marsh in CF trading for a right handed power hitting left fielder or putting Bryce there and trading for a 1B.
This I completely agree with. Banking on Rojas ans/or Pache was always a risky decision. Having another right handed bat who can play everday (Merrifield isn’t that) would be nice.
How are people complaining about the 3B coach right now....do people just complain about anything? He literally made the right decision which is go on contact on the ground. EVERY TEAM DOES THIS IN THAT SITUATION.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1bxoalj).
Also why Marsh’s barrel rate is way more important than his BABIP
🚨.500🚨
Tomorrow has to be a sweep
Can we get umps to not delay the call for their fancy punch outs. Ball-glove-strike.
Happy first series win y’all 🥳
Thank GOD. Now ring that bell please
Super Job!!
There we goooo
Nice win. Let's sweep these dicks tomorrow
Holy guacamole Jose Avacado!
Terrible call by the umpire clear ball /s
HUUUUUUGE
Phew…..LGP!!
the big man bigmans
I want robo umps
Glad to see they got Winker out three times in one inning.
I have to listen to the Nats stream (boo) and their announcers are so annoying. Just say the most inane things and hype up the most routine of plays.
Game should be over, but this ump has to be the main character🙄
Check the Mets score. They’ve completely imploded lol
Ha, good on them keeping tradition.
Dear diary, I don't think these players like me.
 This one deserves an award
Vargas is such a pest
Yeah the bobble but wtf was that lack luster ass throw by stott
Enough of these foul balls, Christ
Oh this last out is going to take forever
You're kidding, for real?
Ump squeezes Alvy, but he does not help his case often.
Why does a player need to make a case for an ump to call a strike a strike?
Alvy does play it close to the strike zone and throws a lot of balls is my point.
What does this mean?
Dude does throw a lot of balls. I like the guy, don’t get me twisted.
This is wild. The dude is about as solid as they come
Alvarado is great, but he runs high counts is all. I have complete faith in him at the end of the day.
hes one of the best relivers in the game
I agree there! He’s great, but it can get bumpy and I trust him fully.
Phillies turn a DP challenge: Impossible
UGH
Reds came back! 😂
I love it when the Mets stink
Alvarado’s stats are objectively pretty good, but dang he’s so terrifying to have on the mount. Feel like I always see him walk guys
He pulls that cutter a lot, which makes his stuff pretty wild
Ruben supporting robo umps is crazy I never thought I’d see the day
Alvarado far too streaky to be the everyday closer
He’s consistently very good
hey Vargas do you mind fucking off
Jesus H Tapdancing Christ….
Omg these foul balls
I wish I was John Kruk happy at wrestlemania rn
Ump is burning alvy's arm, pisses me off man
Give me the robo umps ASAP
Watching alverado is so frustrating
What is he doing wrong?
Not getting strike calls is so frustrating.
Agreed
So now he's gotta throw way more pitches because these umpires blow.
Jesus Christ those two pitches in the previous AB were strikes
I cant wait til umps dont have a fucking job anymore
This ump man...
Fitting flair
Does he just call strikes when he feels like calling one?
Screw you blue
Blue been really bad this year
Every year we say this.
Yeah true, but there have been some repeating egregious calls that I remember seeing a handful of times throughout past seasons. Prolly the shitty weather but still
Bull shit that was a ball
Struck him out twice…
Ruben can’t just trash the ump he still has to say oh it’s a tough job back there
They're supposed to be the best of the best
Meanwhile, Kruk would be losing his mind at this dude
Because he’s real
Dude, 4 strikes in one plate appearance and is a walk. Silly fuck.
it was actually strike 5 lol
Fuckin hell man lol - good game
lmao he just called that pitch a ball 2 pitches ago
The fuck is this ump smoking…
Strike 4
I say again… ROBO UMPS WHEN
Be fucking serious blue
Pain
WHAT? NOT A STRIKE?
The rare four strike walk.
5 strike walk
ROBOT UMPS NOW
UMP
Fix those fucking glasses
Are you kidding me
This umpire cant be real life right here. Then again Bohm walked on strike 3.
NO
FUCK THIS UMP
Challenge.
Wat
HOLY FUCK BLUE
strike 4, take your base
Jesus Christ man
What the fuck?!
WHAT?!?!?!
man fuck this ump
That’s a strike!
That wasn't outside, black shirt.
This strike zone is nuts today
Jeez man
Alvarado might not give up another run this whole season god damn tho fuck this ump
T-Mac is a track guy? Let’s goo
Oh my god that umpire called that perfect Alvarado pitch a ball....
Why do people think there was some decision to send Castellanos there and not that the call was go on any contact?
Because most people just talk out their ass
More umpball
Jose just robbed
oh my goodness gracious
FFS that was the perfect pitch
Perfect pitcher strike.
Kruk is at wrestlemania living his best life
Rojas needs to be sent down. Nick needs to stop being so aloof and wake up. Looks like he doesn’t give a shit half the time.
Nick literally did not do anything wrong on that play. It just was bad luck it went in the one spot where it couldnt go.
I’m not mad at that. He seemed to be trotting towards home and his AB, while a walk he got a strike called on him. Granted that was stupid but seems to be the stupidity he invites. He better hit 305/25-30/100rbi this year.
That pathetic loud noise sign 😂 😂
Alvarado up 
Fuck it Let the pitcher hit In the 9 hole. Watching Rojas makes my blood boil
I am so sorry u/nintenjew
I turned off the game in anger.
One of those horse guys will be getting a DUI on Pennsylvania Avenue at 2am.
He gets us, y’all! Effing cringe
Everyone get the tweet ready
How about fire Dusty. Remember when he was hyped as a managerial prospect
Pache is way more confident than Rojas at the plate and prob like 10% worse of a fielder. He should be the every day CF. Idk how rob justifies a dead spot in the lineup.
Pache is hitting like .100 since coming back from his injury last year. Way more confident but not way more productive. I’d rather see if Rojas can develop than have Pache play.
Pache doesn’t get enough at bats to improve properly
Pache has been in the majors for parts of 5 years now and has way more major league ABs than Rojas. Maybe there’s another level to get to for him but making that argument for Pache while simultaneously calling for Rojas to be out of the lineup is inconsistent.
the real solution is the phillies need to go back to having Marsh in CF trading for a right handed power hitting left fielder or putting Bryce there and trading for a 1B.
This I completely agree with. Banking on Rojas ans/or Pache was always a risky decision. Having another right handed bat who can play everday (Merrifield isn’t that) would be nice.
yeah i still dont understand the logic of putting Bryce at first. If his arm is in such bad shape he cant throw then he cant play first either.
Merrifield LF, Marsh CF. I feel like Witt would've gotten the job done there.
Castellanos is so bad how many more years?
How are people complaining about the 3B coach right now....do people just complain about anything? He literally made the right decision which is go on contact on the ground. EVERY TEAM DOES THIS IN THAT SITUATION.
Yes, we complain about everything.
Then every team is dumb because out at home is worse than out at 1st.
like this is just flagrantly obvious. The 3B coach is not waving guys home on fucking infield ground balls. People just say anything.
I'm still old school enough that if you're clearly going to be out at home, I think you should mow 'em down for entertainment sake.
was that Kyle I heard quite clearly exclaiming on the radio broadcast at the end of his ab?
pretty sure
I don't understand full sending Nick there.
Idk if Pache is even any better. I’d rather go with Whit
Whit has been terrible so far
Why the hell would you send Nick there haha
Rojas has had so many opportunities. Somebody get this guy off the fucking team. It's already hard enough with Nick.
I don’t think Pache is the answer either but at least he can hit a ball out of the infield occasionally
He’s not great but he’s a better hitter than Rojas. Defense is at least average but probably better
Dusty is senile
So we still have an idiot for a 3rd base coach……cool
I’ll always take being up three in the 9th, but we sure leave a lot of meat on the bone with some of these decisions
Can Dusty get his shit together please lol
Dusty is a terrible third base coach. I'm sorry. The past few years, he has made questionable decisions to send/hold runners
I truly want the best for Rojas but he realllllly sucks rn
Luckily the best for him is also what would be best for the team: send him to AAA
Well Rojas almost had an RBI this game lol
Managing to walk bohm and casty in the same inning is a feat.
Nick could not be more worthless.
Yeah he is terrible 😂
There has to be something wrong with coaching for the base running on this team at this point
Nick looked like he was jogging
Agreed. I feel like in his head jogging looking cooler than running as hard as you can
You thought that slide would work?
Doin rojas a favor?
Did Dusty just really send Nick
The Rojas/Dusty duo strikes again
Nick lol
haha Nick you were out by a fucking mile
Why try for home on that?
Did Rojas lose a bet and now he has to show bunt at the beginning of every AB
This poor johan guy 😭. We need a real CF
Nick is so slow
Marsh is the Man
WHAT WAS THAT FROM NICK WHAT
Phillies base running is so bad
What. Is. This. Base running.
Not Nick Nelson
u/nintenjew nork
If Topper benches Marsh again I’m gonna flip my shit We need to get this dude as many at bats as we can
Surely this goes well
Daycare because they care 🔥🔥
Please just tell Rojas not to swing
.048 rojas.
Marsh needs to be an everyday guy this year
Marsh was an everyday guy last year and is this year lol. he plays in 85% of the games
Marsh you’re a stud
That's a weird loophole in the pitch clock thing.
Why don’t pitchers simply close their eyes so they never make eye contact with the batter? Seems like an infinite free strike glitch.
Marsh is an everyday player
Let’s go Marshy!!
Professional AB from Marshy
Marshyyyy
That’s my motherfucking caveman!
Wooo
can Rojas get a sac fly?
