GDT 7/23/22 Chicago Cubs (Stroman) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler)

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Umpire is awful.

At least we got the make up call after strike 3 was called ball 1.

[LoneStarPhan]

Steal of third. Looked like Bohm went over the runner with ball in glove and never got a tag on him.

[LoneStarPhan]

Throw home off center and run scores.

[Philsmania]

The beginning of the end of our season is upon us. We need to sell at the deadline.

[Patchmk88]

Bohm is just an awful defensive player.

Scoring 1 freaking run against a team that is playing 20 games over .500 is inecusable.

[LoneStarPhan]

The weak schedule is the Phillies undoing. They seem to play poorly against bad teams. These first two games with the Cubs are absolutely pathetic.

Chicago Cubs 5 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Bad fielding + Anemic offense = Big loss

[LoneStarPhan]

Bohm having a rough tenth inning. Didn't get tag down on steal of third. Went home late on FC and didn't get an out. Now an error.

[Philsmania]

Phillies will not win a game this homestand.

[Philsmania]

They should trade Bohm while he still has value.

[kikutaro]

Willson Contreras

Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Andrew Bellatti replaces Jose Alvarado.
Ball (94.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (87.2 mph slider)
Hit by pitch (95. mph four-seam fastball)

Willson Contreras hit by pitch.

[LoneStarPhan]

Horrendous start after the break. Team doesn't seem to have any energy.

[Aquapong]

I’m ready to send Bohm somewhere as a change of scenery candidate in the next two weeks. Every time you think he’s turned a corner, he has another brutal game. At this point he’s pretty much a throw in in any trade.

[kikutaro]

Willson Contreras

Ball in dirt (87.4 mph slider)
In play, run(s) (84.9 mph slider)

Willson Contreras doubles (19) on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Schwarber. Nelson Velazquez scores.

Chicago Cubs 6 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[Channel22]

A 3rd baseman that doesn't hit for power and is below average defensively doesn't have any value.
