Perfect lousy week to break out The Big Beer™️

Some moves in sports are done out of respect more than organizational purposes. I think it would be unfair to Orion, and to the city, for him to stay here.

I think they'll keep Orion. He's a kid and he made a mistake. He did well in late innings. I'd keep Thompson too. He's had multiple winning seasons. I'd let Schwarber go. I'd trade Bohm and put Otto at 3rd. I'd keep Stott too. Not Marsh, not Kepler, Realmuto one more year. I'd keep Bader.

The headliner in a Taijuan or Castellanos salary dump to either get a better prospect back or have the trading team eat more money.

Could easily find 7-8 worse losses than this just since 2022 for the Phillies, but this is by far the dumbest. For a collection of guys who have no rational thoughts during 95% of games, this was the perfect way for it to end.

Well thank God that didn’t happen in a NLDS Game 5 or any other Game 7 because that might have forced me to stop watching the sport, it was so much of a cataclysmic blunder.

This win also ends a very dumb Phillies pattern of getting worse during each consecutive playoff trip.

Will ask him tomorrow if he thought that it would mean watching Taijuan Walker pitch

Phillies at 6
Flyers at 7
Eagles at 8:15

Tomorrow gonna be headache inducing

Kershaw out there pitching with duct tape and crazy glue and Roberts sent him back out there for the 8th. Insane.

If I gotta watch Ranger pitch elsewhere next year and continue being an October God I’m gonna be pissed.

Dad just said he’s staying up to “watch the Dodgers bat in the bottom of the 9th” and boy does that sum up Philly Sports in a perfect bow.

My bagel place has pulled off the rare feat of moving to a bigger building in their strip mall, raising the price on my go-to sandwich, BUT delivering remarkably better quality.

Shoutout Moore Bagels in Marlton, NJ for going against conventional methods in this day and age.

Maybe Gannon is viewed differently if he spends SB57 preparing a defense instead of tanking it so badly the Eagles rushed Fangio in to salvage what they could. I don’t know, I didn’t get caught red-handed by the NFL so badly that the punishment came in a league-forced draft day trade.

Weird guy. Just an old fashioned Weird Guy. Everything is awkward. Doesn’t really earn respect, but people have to respect the job title. The kind of weird guy to spend ten minutes telling you why this $.50 raise is actually a good thing.

Schefter: HC Jonathan Gannon fined $100,000 for sideline altercation with Emari Demercado.

The Castellanos quote will likely slide through generally without scrutiny, there’s so many other things going on to talk about, but using the atmosphere at the stadium as a negative is heartbreaking.

Step 1: Get hired as NFL Coach

Step 2: Have terrible introductory press conference

Step 3: Win a lot

Lot of similarities between runs to the championship to start it.

Brian Coulter @philabcoulter.bsky.social · 4d

Not the current Sixers or the Andy Reid Eagles, this run of Phillies baseball is reminiscent of the early 2010s Flyers

Ticket sales will be the justification as why they’ll keep him and not sign Realmuto.

Brian Coulter @philabcoulter.bsky.social · 4d

You can figure on so many guys that will be traded, released, or not signed after the year with an NLDS loss, that it’s pretty remarkable how little they seem to care or know that.

Oh I’m Alec Bohm, I swing at a 2-0 pitch at my cleats, I’m soooooo mysterious

Sanchez-Luzardo-Wheeler in May next year? Smells like another 90+ wins
