I think that sounds about right, BC

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 1d

I think you need to deal Orion to do good by him. He will never be a functional baseball player in this city going forward and a change of scenery is his only saving grace.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 1d

just meant from being an Eagles villain/cocky Giants player perspective, but stylistically, definitely.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

another good comp!

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

yeah, each game individually doesn’t touch those, but I think doubled up in quick succession was extra, extra brutal.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, it’s hard because being simply an X’s and O’s sharp play-caller doesn’t automatically transition to being a great head coach/great leader. So they’re just winging the mix and it’s worked phenomenally every other year, but a temporary crash down feels inevitable with this structure. not great!

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

He shouldn’t be allowed to hire his own OCs, but if a head coach can’t do that, then what’s the point of keeping that guy in “power” anyway then, right?

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

I’m typically pro Nick, but it’s times like these where you wonder how fragile this entire house of cards is. He’s the best coach in franchise history and it still may be justified to move on! only here!

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

probably best to just unfollow then, John.

Cam Skattebo is Gen Z Jeremy Shockey.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

fair, but they were also missing maybe two best offensive guys there in AJ and Lane.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

yeah, maybe, we didn’t realize 2023 was a “down” year yet though and the idea of that repeating this year only heightens tonight’s sting, to me at least.

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

I was anti 2023 comps because of the defense, but if Mitchell and Carter are missing time and the rest of the unit looks like this, well, uh…

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

I’m obviously in doom & gloom mood with the Phillies, but this feels like the entire Eagles operation falling apart. It will/would be their worst regular season loss in the Sirianni/Hurts era given the opponent, every single previous strength being neutralized and the injuries piling up.

Nick Castellanos has looked like the worst baseball player I've ever seen this series, apart from two enormously clutch doubles

I need at least one (1) Phillies run before the Eagles game kicks off

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

looking up motivational Rocky quotes on my phone and holding them up to the TV in the hopes that they’ll seep through and inspire the fellas

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

I thought that was game off the bat

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

😫

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

clean up hitter who can’t hit for power while also being a third baseman who can’t field his position 👍

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

they should wear them every game, homer or away, if they somehow advance

shamus @shamus.bsky.social · 2d

furious that Kepler caught that!
