Why? Because they overachieved the first quarter of the season and now they're coming back to earth? Come on, they actually have young talent and a rebuilding team. What a fugazi fan statement.
I can't watch when the team sucks. I'm not a big baseball guy. I will come back when some of the young bats come up. It's disheartening to see VV injured and Nola scuffling.

Only the majors, cuzzo.
I have freely admitted to being a bullsh*t Phillies fan. I only care when they're winning, or competing.
Villanova, Eagles, Sixers are the only teams I will watch even if the team isn't good. Just not enough of a baseball lover. If that makes me gutless then so be it.

Tommy Joseph has been trulyterrible for the last two weeks. Still want to see him at first over Howard though.
Do they not stress plate discipline in their player development? This is like 4 years in a row of terrible offense. It's mind boggling.
Focus on the positives!
Howard got a hit and raised his AVG to .143. His OBP is nearly .200!
Morgan's ERA only went up by 0.06. (It's now 6.55)

Hit the Phillies at +260 today. Love it, especially coming off Bumgarner. This is the first year in his career he's been a great regular season pitcher. Rupp is a beast.

Interesting Inky article today about how Rupp is going to get fewer starts even though he is mashing because he ignores their pre-game plan. Let's not make him the scape goat for the freefall this team is in.
Were you referring to Bumgarner? He's had an ERA under 3, a WHIP under 1.1, and 199+ K's in each of the last 3 full seasons.
Very good pitcher but his regular seasons haven't been as dominant as his postseasons until this year.
It certainly is an interesting interpretation of the term "great"
Also, poor choice of words by arak for using great instead of gr8

A guy who just turned 23 and tops out at 91 mph is getting banged around by MLB hitters? Consider me shocked. Next thing you tell me, their manager will be publicly throwing their young catch under their bus for a month-long pitching slump.
Me either - but it would concern me, as it does Conforto. (also 23 I believe) - because when guys get lit up their second or third time through the league, it concerns me. League solves people and spits them out all the time. I don't think Nola has seen the 5th inning in over a month.
Most successful pitchers have had to adjust and re-adjust over time. There are very, very few who do not have to adjust. They're just that good. Nola doesnt have the stuff to be "that guy". Those guys are very rare. They usually throw very hard, lessening their margin for error.
