Fire somebody please

[LoneStarPhan]

Another fielding blunder as Hoskins dives in front of the second baseman to knock the ball on the ground, rolling toward second base. Again, NO out. Ball was hit right toward Kingery but Hoskins ranged wide to bat the ball away.

Phillies now looking like the team of late last season when they were clearly one of if not the worst team in MLB.

Now another DP ball where they appear to be a hair late on throw to first. Called safe but replay underway. If not an out, another run scores.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Good thing we saved our best bullpen arms last night for the weekend games.

[EDmuch]

OK, Ok, I don't oppose Eflin for Mark Minor.

[kikutaro]

Albies

Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Ranger Suarez replaces Zach Eflin, batting 8th, replacing pitcher Zach Eflin.
Called strike (91.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (92.5 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, run(s) (83.4 mph slider)
360 ft line drive (exit speed: 107 mph, launch angle: 23°)

Ozzie Albies hits a grand slam (15) to left field. Tyler Flowers scores. Max Fried scores. Ronald Acuna scores.

Atlanta Braves 11 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[EDmuch]

Ok, now we are into pure comedy.

[LoneStarPhan]

Again, this is only one game, but back to back beat downs like we are seeing here could be the end of the Phillies chances for anything for a long time. Maybe they come back after this but I would not be at all surprised to see the Phillies drop below .500 by the end of the season. Braves are showing they are head and shoulders better than the Phillies this season.

0-2 count grand slam.

Remember the Braves came into the series not really playing very well of late.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Hard to believe, Harry.

Called strike (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)

Doesn't someone have to get fired? Just as a matter of principle.

[Patchmk88]

Time to fire someone please!

[kikutaro]

Foul (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Swinging strike (85.1 mph changeup)

Maybe they should burn these uniforms after the game.

[LoneStarPhan]

In spite of the results, the uniforms can't be blamed. They didn't wear them last night. Although I guess this game is turning into an historic beat down.

Fair or unfair, it might be time when someone has to be fired.

[bkox]

Correction: Zach Eflin has allowed 35 runs in his last 26⅔ innings after all 3 runners he put on scored on the grand slam. Braves up 11-1.

[LoneStarPhan]

Like last night, the Braves again have several more runs than hits. You have to help them for them to be able to do that.
