Some much of the world simply sucks right now. I wholeheartedly declare that if all feels better when you get out in a crowd and experience live music. The Alex G show at the Filmore was just what I needed.

Kerk is so not a high leverage guy. He struggled with men on base. He struggled with back2back appearances. He struggled to field his position. He struggled to have basebal instincts. I'm tired of having those guys on my team.

On Kerkering - If a baseball player hits a ball, the only instinct is to run to first base. If the player stumbles out of the box, they don't panic and run somewhere else. The only instinct is to run to first base. 1/2

Well the instinct is ingrained in you at age 5. "With 2 outs the play is at first". That's the only instinct I want on my team.

Just another soft Phillie. Not locked in. Not ready for the moment.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

His catcher is yelling "first base!" His catcher is pointing. To first base. The baserunner is still in his view to the left. I'll never forgive him for not being able to handle it. Another soft Phillie.

Blow this gaggle of chokers up. Choke after choke after choke. I don't want "The Day Care" I don't want "Scooby Doo" , or the Giraffe. No more lovable characters. I want baseball players. The kind that know the play is to throe the ball to first place!

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

Human moment? You played the game. Before every pitch you tell yourself what you're doing if the ball comes to you. Completely inexcusable. He could literally see the baserunner to his left.

THAT IS THE SINGLE WORST PLAY BY A PHILLIES PLAYER IN OVER A CENTURY OF BASEBALL!!!! Orion should never play another MLB game ever.

Kerk with the winning run on 3rd. What could go wrong.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

The manager is loyal to veterans. He'll use D-Rob.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

The whole team seems done in by the manager. They look like a bunch of guys who believe they've been put in a terrible situation, and it's not their fault.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

But hey! At least "Topper" likes to drink Labatts and likes Ice Hockey!

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

Mookie Betts is made for this moment.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

Closers close. This is a disaster. And "Topper" has to go.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

Garbage call changes everything. Sanchez is flustered, pitch count goes over 100, lineup flips. Totally game changing call.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

The whole stadium knew that was a strike

Ce down to too many guys in this lineup (Turner) unable to barrel-up fastballs over the heart of the plate.

SCoar @scoar.bsky.social · 2d

I'm more excited about the next Phillies season than I ever was about this season. The pitching staff is gonna be electric. And next years lineup is gonna be a great mix of players that battle and don't wait for Harper or Kyle to rescue them.

It's alway Freddie Freaking Freeman. Always.
