GDT 9/21/22 Toronto Blue Jays (Gausman) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler)

[EDmuch]

The complete implosion of the bullpen is a bit hard to understand. They really did a great job thru July and August. But then Labor Day happens and no one other than Alvarez can get out of an inning without giving up runs.

[Philsmania]

Let's get a bloody run!

[kikutaro]

Vladimir Guerrero

Ball (84.1 mph knuckle curve)
Foul (82.7 mph slider)
Foul (92.5 mph cutter)
Ball (87.3 mph knuckle curve)
In play, out(s) (84.8 mph knuckle curve)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounds out, shortstop Bryson Stott to first baseman Rhys Hoskins.

Harper to win it with a homer. I'm calling it.

[LoneStarPhan]

This is kind of why I would have a hard time being an MLB coach. I would want to scream in Siramthony’s face, tell him he is a hopeless loser and that he should apologize to the rest of the team for his pathetic performance.

But A coach has to sit there and watch the tape, make note of the screwups and then sit down with Siramthony and then in a positive manner go over with Sirsnthony about how he needs to improve. That takes a special kind of patience.

So true, but as a fan, I can be and usually am all over the place.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Yet another loss.

… Not so fast. (Or good reverse jinx).

Don’t want to lose on the last dollar dog night of the year.

[EDmuch]

As scary as the thought may be, Alvarez and Robertson are our best relievers right now.

[Philsmania]

As scary as the thought may be, Alvarez and Robertson are our best relievers right now.

Our ONLY relievers right now.

[Philsmania]

Harper's getting squeezed by this ump.

[BostonRoss]

Alvarado hasn't given up a hit this month, in eight appearances.

It is games like this that show we are competitive with the est teams in MLB. It is also why it is so maddening to watch all the stupid ways we lose games.
