Lamenting to my wife that we don't have a cool saying for when we win a game (Guardians have "BOOK IT!!"). She reminded me that we have a whole game of cool because we have Kruk. I married the right one y'all.
Itās so hard to believe that weāre further ahead of the Braves this year than they were ahead of us at this point last year. The Bravesā season was historic. This was the turning point of our season, and yet it felt insurmountable right from the start.
The runner would've gotten to 2nd, with the error he got to third. You're right, it really doesn't matter. But at the same time, it's just why are you trying to make something happen when you really don't have to.
If youd have told me at the start of the season weād be nearly 10 games up on Atlanta in early June iād have said please share with me whatever you were smoking
Its so amazing what such a hot start can do for a ballclub
Just cus i donāt think he is our best option at closer doesnāt mean i donāt like him as a reliever.
I donāt like him on away games, and i think he is regressing slightly right now with command. Thats all. Still a great reliever.
I just want Strahm in Closer right now
My opinion and modern baseballs opinion.
It is just the Players Union and players want to keep it as "closers" get paid more. BUt it is not the optimal strategy.
No that was a letās go Red Sox I think, that was the one kruk and tom were commenting on. A few moments after that sounded like a few guys going āletās go Yankeesā
Yeah we weren't even that great when we had O'Neill and Casas, but we were sure a lot better than this AAA nonsense.
If we have to lose to anyone though, I'm glad it's Philly. Wife will be happy
Why are they playing Iām Shipping Up to Boston when theyāre down three in the ninth? š
If by āIāmā you mean we Phillies fans, then yes, we certainly are.
Visions in my head tonight:
Kruk pressing buttons trying to close the shades
Kruk pointing a remote at the toilet and pressing buttons
Kruk tiptoeing around the bathroom because of heated floors
Kruk punching Caillou in the face
it sucks knowing we beat the mets of Strahm pitches instead of Soto.
However i wont lie, if Rob brought in Soto there instead it would have been kinda funny
Sundayās game wasnāt even that bad lol. Like yeah he couldnāt find the zone but he was only missing it by like an inch. Couldāve very easily gone the other way
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dduzoi).

Happy June! š
The Phillies are so fucking good.
Good job, guys!
They keep losing players, but they just keep winning.
gg boys
Woo - that's a phillies game!
 Alvy mood rn
10 games up and it feels so good
Lamenting to my wife that we don't have a cool saying for when we win a game (Guardians have "BOOK IT!!"). She reminded me that we have a whole game of cool because we have Kruk. I married the right one y'all.
You did. But also we have āring the bell.ā
10 games up feels so insane lol
This early in the season itās wild
Did I just hear Stubbs say "Stotter wtf man"?
Three!! Ring that bellšš»š
10 Games!
Thatās a this year Phillies game.
I never lost faith, Jose
Phillies undefeated in North America this week.
10 game lead over the Barves. In June. Holy fuck.
Hell yeah Alvy!!!!
10 GAME LEAD
10 games up in June lol
W
Nice
Wasn't worried at all! (Was 100% worried the entire inning)
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
double digit lead over the braves has been added to the menu
More cup talk!!
Krukš¤£Ā
#WINZ
Ouch!
Game.
Great win
Phillies winš
Yeahhhhh
Back to cups

W! Alvarado haters in the mud
I hope tall Gary Coleman is ok.
#DOINK!
How very odd.
Stubbs with a pretty good block on a spiked ball but even with youāre not throwing out that runner
Jose has that pissed off velo right now
CMON ALVY
Ouch. Damn.
Ow
Itās so hard to believe that weāre further ahead of the Braves this year than they were ahead of us at this point last year. The Bravesā season was historic. This was the turning point of our season, and yet it felt insurmountable right from the start.
I donāt care you can quote me all of Alvarado stats, he still stresses me out
he gave up a weak single stfu
Hes just too wild. He never has an easy 1 2 3 inning
Heās not, he statistically is not Also he never has an easy inning, just a lie
All-the-stress-o
I hate him getting to third, but it was pretty funny seeing him throw the helmets without thinking.
I miss Brad Lidge
Can we ban all the whiny-ass doomers who start pissing and moaning as soon as Alvarado has 1 bad pitch?
One more fellas, please
Throwing equipment like that is pretty dangerous. And Bryce was moving right towards where that bat landed.
everyone take a breath itās okay
Fuck Boston š š š š
Getting flashbacks from London.
Oh fucking please
One more
Learning moment for Stubbs. Good time to make that error with this big cushion, considering heāll be playing a lot more the next couple months
No need for Stubbs to try and throw out the runner. He really doesn't matter.
Why? If the runner doesnāt matter, neither does the error. Thereās no downside to trying to throw him out.Ā
The runner would've gotten to 2nd, with the error he got to third. You're right, it really doesn't matter. But at the same time, it's just why are you trying to make something happen when you really don't have to.
Dude Alvy can really suck
Little League catcher.
Guysā¦
Get chonky ass and go eat
Feels like for every great Stubbs pick heās equally good for a garbage rushed throw like that. Needs better discipline
Jose Avocado is back š«£
One more
Jesus Christ we need to get Marchan in these games ASAP
Ok not again, please
geez just get the two outs
Shake it off yall
Blaming AlvaradoĀ
Just fucking throw strikes.
not necessary to throw that
I thought we got rid of kimbrel?
ALVARADO IS BACK BABY!!!!
now if only you weren't
awww how nice
Christ is Avocado back?
What the actual fuck
Here we goĀ
Alvarado can we not
The meltdown ^tm
bruh
Okā¦
Boy when Alvy misses he MISSES
I mean, itās coming in at 1000 mph.
TF you doin, boys?
Come on Alvy you got this!
If youd have told me at the start of the season weād be nearly 10 games up on Atlanta in early June iād have said please share with me whatever you were smoking Its so amazing what such a hot start can do for a ballclub
š¤
What the fuck man
Oof š
What the fuck was any of that
Hector Neris blew a save just now lol
Iām getting flashbacks
common dp
100 inside and hits it up the middle. Jose hasn't been fooling guys recently. Kinda weird.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll be right over
need more Mets losses. Just 'cause.
I'm not listening to audio; why do they keep showing Topper?
Because I asked them to. It's a must to show that man as much as possible. My hero
Alvarado zealots right now 
You have some of the best takes then some of the worst takes with like no in between. It is honestly crazy to see.
Just cus i donāt think he is our best option at closer doesnāt mean i donāt like him as a reliever. I donāt like him on away games, and i think he is regressing slightly right now with command. Thats all. Still a great reliever. I just want Strahm in Closer right now
The fact you want a closer is a bad take to begin with.
My opinion and modern baseballs opinion. It is just the Players Union and players want to keep it as "closers" get paid more. BUt it is not the optimal strategy.
Sometimes ya gotta take the path less traveled
Lol š
not 100% sure, but I don't think the Phillies have had a double-digit division lead in June since the '93 team.
jesus christ. does alverez get paid per pitch? i'd like one inning where he doesn't go deep to one batter. just a quick 1-2-3.
I dont agree that Alvy needs the work today after that 35 pitch outing.
Duran's pesky I *hate* pesky
So nice of alvy to use this inning to give a tribute to former teammate ācardiacā craig kimbrel
I have 0 faith in Alavarado in the playoffs. Downvote away im sharing my feelings. Yordan homer gives me PTSD
Sometimes good pitchers give up runs.
he's not good though
He has a career 3.09 ERA before tonight
that was a call back joke from be4. sheesh follow along. easy W
did you send that before or after the awful wild pitch?
Wait, how many runs did he give up that inning? š¤”
im assuming you sent that before, and then sent this after. make it make sense!
Fuck off duran. Stop fouling off all these good pitches
Hate that they donāt have their names on the back of the unis ā¦ itās giving dollar tree
Something something, the name on the front is more important than the name on the back
I guess they don't like money
Did I hear āletās go Yankeesā there a moment ago?
I was trying to figure that out too, but couldn't tell. The two girls right?
No that was a letās go Red Sox I think, that was the one kruk and tom were commenting on. A few moments after that sounded like a few guys going āletās go Yankeesā
Alvy pls
Kruky roasting red Sox fans except for those 2 kids šš¤£
haha hector
What the fuck is that thing on her bottom lip. Like why?
Did that dude have a gage in his fucking lip??
Pretty sure that's a indigenous Boston woman.
That one dudes ears were full of bad choices.
Dude looked like he was gonna suicide off the green monster
The Phillies fan in that shot had a very tiny baby
Caillou and Walton correct takes ā¦ Kruk doesnāt miss
That pitch.
Huh, just realized how kinda fitting (maybe not the word I want) it is that we went from London to Boston.
Rememver when Chick fil A had a 5 count
Typical neris š
Iād like to order one Schwarber daycare, please and thank you
Dead heads, sound off!!!
Oh look Hector Neris still blows saves.
Look at that sea of Phillies red out there!
Satire right
Bc they both have red in their unis idk how u can tell but idk
Red Sox lineup is minor league. Woof
Itās basically Duran and Devers
Yeah we weren't even that great when we had O'Neill and Casas, but we were sure a lot better than this AAA nonsense. If we have to lose to anyone though, I'm glad it's Philly. Wife will be happy
Get back on that horse š“
alright Alvy clean inning here or else we need to start having a discussion on what to give up for Mason Miller
Barvs fans are infighting on Twitter. Love to see it š„°
Oh jeeze. They were shut out. Theyāll be under .500 by the all star break.
Reddit too š¤£
Confidence builder time for Alvarado. Letās get back on track.
ā4 count. Iām that guyā
That dude's voice is nails on a chalkboard.
Why are they playing Iām Shipping Up to Boston when theyāre down three in the ninth? š If by āIāmā you mean we Phillies fans, then yes, we certainly are.
Theyāre playing Shipping Kruk to Boston by the Dropkick Gregg Murphys
Wow, where did you find such a great representation of the doomers in this sub when the slightest thing goes wrong?
This is me if we lose this game
Strahm has 39 K's in 27IP. Dude is unreal and no one knows who he is outside Philadelphia.
Outside of Boston, San Diego, Kansas City, Fargoā¦
He's the reliever that got away
"Alvarado up? Get ready for Boston to walk-off here." - u/Feisty-Recording-978
Alvarado pitching? Omg I'm stressed out! My heart is racing! I have no confidence!
š¤£
3 batters. If he shows he doesnāt have it again. Bail
Bring it home Alvy
Visions in my head tonight: Kruk pressing buttons trying to close the shades Kruk pointing a remote at the toilet and pressing buttons Kruk tiptoeing around the bathroom because of heated floors Kruk punching Caillou in the face
Edit: I forgot Kruk and TMac riding a tandem bike in the Combat Zone
Love Kruk. Never change.Ā
it sucks knowing we beat the mets of Strahm pitches instead of Soto. However i wont lie, if Rob brought in Soto there instead it would have been kinda funny
TIME TO MAKE SOME BOSTON TOAST.
Ok. 3 outs boys. 3.
If he has a second straight bad game this sub and its bandwagon shitters are gonna be insufferable
The number of Iron Pigs we could deal straight up for Mason Miller would increase from 8 to at least 12. Ā
Don't worry we aren't a threat at the plate
Sundayās game wasnāt even that bad lol. Like yeah he couldnāt find the zone but he was only missing it by like an inch. Couldāve very easily gone the other way
