GDT 10/9/24 Philadelphia Phillies (Suárez, R) @ New York Mets (Quintana)

[Philsmania]

Got to admit it's sad to see how Suarez has gone from being an All-Star starting pitcher to bullpen game starter.

[EastFallowfield]

My Phils radio to Fox TV sync is a little off and from Franzke's call I thought the Turner throw was going to be an error...

How is this Suarez's fault?

The guy is pitching his guts out just like Wheeler and Nola did and the offense has.not done anything to help him out. Not to mention the bad defense behind him too.

This is on the offense, 2000%

[owaistabish]

Agreed - this is PURELY on offense.

He isn’t right. I think he is still a quality starter, not the same as Walker, who is clearly toast, but his injury this year derailed his season somehow. Rest, come back next year.

Bryce Harper

Ball (77.2 mph curveball)
Ball (89.6 mph sinker)
Called strike (76.6 mph slurve)
Ball (89.9 mph sinker)
Ball (90.3 mph sinker)

Bryce Harper walks.

[Philsmania]

A run, a run, my kingdom for a run!

[EastFallowfield]

Harper had to take 5 balls to get a walk.

Obviously the offense is a huge problem. Suarez is getting insanely lucky, it could easily be 5-0 right now. Starting him was a huge mistake, leaving him in is fireable, but our luck is holding. It can’t last. We need the offense.

Nick Castellanos

In play, no out (88.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Nick Castellanos doubles (1) on a fly ball to left fielder Brandon Nimmo. Bryce Harper to 3rd.

Better score here, otherwise this is going to be a killer.

[Philsmania]

Please don't strike out here.

[bkeich]

It isn’t just us with bad defense.

Honestly I am not sure they could have cut off the run there, it was very slow and the 3B was facing the wrong way

Why swing on that 2-0 pitch that was at best on the edge?
