Conceding the series.

#NLDS is like a hemlock chaser after the weekend.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 1d

Roberts just flexing now. They totally overmatched and outclassed us.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 1d

We all know before the game even starts — how do you beat the Phillies? Relentlessly and indefatigably throw breaking balls. Everyone knows except, it seems, for the ones who matter.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 1d

This #NLDS game is either gonna last two hours or four-and-a-half hours.

Gambling gave them something else to talk about, making it all 1000x worse.

I don’t know what I clicked on to deserve this.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 1d

Seems like 1) an overcorrection to “Jalen can’t handle the blitz” noise from last year — to the point that teams don’t even have to actually blitz; and 2) correctable. Which is good news (in theory!).

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 1d

Of course 🤣

Did the barista know about Van Halen to begin with? Important if true 🤣

Move over Godwin and O’Sullivan. We’ve now got @jvl.bsky.social’s Law.

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

The thing is, Donald Trump considers himself and his people to be “center-right.” And the moment we’re in is not about a left-right spectrum.

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 1d

ELLISON: ".. We want CBS to speak to that 70% of the audience that would really define themselves at center-left to center-right.”

Paramount Buys Bari Weiss’s the Free Press for $150 Million

Weiss, who once said she was done with legacy media, is to take control of CBS News’s editorial vision, aiming for “news that reflects reality.”

Why does the president need Abbott’s “full authorization,” under Stephen Miller’s interpretation of federal supremacy, wherein Pritzker’s refusal to accept them is ignored?

I can understand that level of vitriol toward the Phillies, who haven’t won anything and consistently choke, but not this team. Not after last season.

The same pitcher who almost blew the ‘22 Bedlam game takes the loss in ‘25. Winning organizations do not rely on has-beens in big spots.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

We forget, but he almost lost us the Bedlam at the Bank game! And I’m looking at his name in the loss column in 2025. Enough!

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

Not great! But where were we in Dodgers lineup when that inning began? 8-9-1? I could’ve lived with him tying it up with a solo shot. Robertson putting two men on was an abortion.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

Not that anyone cares, but I did groan at the sight of DRob coming back out in a thread with my son🤣

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

As much as Robertson — who’d already been up and down, and did not induce a single swing and miss.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

Kerkering should’ve started the seventh. Strahm the eighth.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

Phamiliar postseason #Phillies.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

It was the decision to send Robertson out again — that was a head-scratcher in real time.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

There was absolutely no justification for sending DRob out there again. None.

Scott Galupo @scottgalupo.bsky.social · 3d

Topper bears some responsibility for this.
