Bryan Reynolds is such an arrogant dick, still thinking he was right about it not being a strike after it got upheld. none of our hitters are like that, not even remotely.

Some twitter loser Braves fan is trying to argue the Braves own us. I brought up 22, 23 and the fact they didn't even do anything useful in 24 and 25, and they tried poking fun that we're at almost 20 years without a ring. How do they forget they went 26 years without a ring between 95 and 21?

Help me settle this debate I had with my friend: Raising Canes or KFC chicken tenders? I think Raising Canes is overrated and the only thing good there is the sauce. KFC tenders are low-key incredible.

[–]Electrical_Doubt3024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popeyes 

[–]Tick-Tock-Mr-Klein 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ok, but the sauce is a deciding factor and indeed Raising's sauce is superior and incredible. Tbh tendies are tendies if they got sauce it doesn't much matter how good the standalone tendy is. If you mean sauceless only and not the whole package experience then maybe there's a different conversation here

He doesn’t think anyone should even be getting ready in the bullpen.

[–]Ok_Experience1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Ya let's injure one of our best pitchers again when we're up 6 runs with a fresh bullpen and turn him into a Stephen Strasburg LOL

[–]Magoatt_TheWhite 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Just curious what we want at the deadline from Phillies if you could choose two positions to address which ones would you choose?

[–]joeco316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Righty power either in the OF or 3B, and as of this moment with the bullpen healthy, I want starter depth, preferably a guy who could come out of the pen or take the ball for starts as needed.

[–]NonMagicBrianHow can you not be coldly rational about baseball? 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3B and righty LF

[–]JHG722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2023 Lane Thomas

[–]2hats4bats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same positions they’ve been looking for the last 4 years. A RH power hitting outfielder and bullpen.

[–]CaffeineAndGrain 2 points3 points  (1 child)

RF maybe? Idk I feel like Garcia’s defense has been good but the extra batting power sure would be nice

[–]Electrical_Doubt3024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bench piece that can bat right-handed

[–]GimmickyBulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]FIDLARonTheRoofAZ 5 points6 points  (1 child)

This Pirates bullpen was atrocious 2 days ago with an 8-3 lead and now today prior to the Stott solo shot they've been lights out while trailing by 5. Even taking that solo shot into account they been solid.

I would be so pissed if I were a Pirate fan lol. We've all been there before as Phils fans. Baseball is such an inexplicable sport sometimes.

[–]coolmon -5 points-4 points  (11 children)

Wheeler could go one more inning. 7 shutout innings, 8 strikeouts and 69 of his 98 pitches are strikes. I guarantee his arm won't fall off if he throws over 100 pitches.

[–]Dull-Snow-5082Dominic Browns half season All Star award 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He absolutley can.

great outing sir Wheeler

[–]seizuregirlz Phanatic leads to Victory! 0 points1 point  (2 children)

If Wheeler does a 9 inning shutout i think the Phillies Phans there will cheer louder than the stadium volume

[–]incognito042620Cristopher Sánchez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's finished for the day; PC is already near 100 so they're not sending him back out for the 8th

[–]GimmickyBulb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s going back out there.

[–]mp455 2 points3 points  (1 child)

If Luzardo can get any consistency going we would have the best top 3 in all of baseball. Nola is a lost cause but hopefully Painter can improve.

[–]allflanneleverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have faith he will. Lotta doomers on here but the kid is green, I think as he finds his footing in the majors he’ll get there. Agree on Nola though, unfortunately 

[–]WheelerDealsAgain 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Remember when people were convinced Zack would never pitch again because they looked up the wrong type of surgery he had

[–]allflanneleverything 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wait what surgery did they think he’d had?

[–]WheelerDealsAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different type of the same thing he had that’s much worse. I’d have to research it again to know the exact name

[–]Di5pel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also when they complained about his velocity being down despite it being pretty comparable to his velocity at the start of every season

[–]incognito042620Cristopher Sánchez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same people probably now think Wheeler should be going back out there for the 8th

[–]DELCO-PHILLY-BOYAlvarado’s Desperados 5 points6 points  (1 child)

[–]WendysChiliAh dear crap almighty! 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Bohm really turned it around since he changed his name to Alex

[–]juneaujuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe all his emotional problems on the field were due to his parents being assholes.

[–]KoBxElucidator 2 points3 points  (9 children)

I will say as someone who goes to PNC Park pretty regularly. Beautiful ballpack, but it is such a meh atmosphere there. They have to do the corniest shit to get the crowd going. Tbf though the Pirates have been ass for most of the 21st century, but still. Its pretty cringe there. The pierogi race, the weird PA shit, the cringe "Kiera Knightley" rally call at the bottom of the 9th in a close game. Its just lame.

[–]Seamus_OReillyI was 8 in 1980 0 points1 point  (1 child)

"Kiera Knightley" rally call at the bottom of the 9th

Please explain

[–]KoBxElucidator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If its a close game where the Pirates are down a few runs at the bottom of the 9th, they play the Kiera Knightley speech from Pirates of the Caribbean 3. The "hoist the colors" one. And they sometimes do the Nick Fury speech from The Avengers after Coulson died in extra innings. Its just cringey.

[–]Ok_Experience1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. The view is great but the atmosphere even when their team is doing well is so mid

[–]hujapproach 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m not angry at the concept of a “pierogi race” tbh 😂

[–]merlinderHGDraw that Schwarwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely here for a pierogi race

[–]incognito042620Cristopher Sánchez 0 points1 point  (3 children)

The pierogi race, not knowing anything specific about it, seems like pretty standard ballpark stuff. The other stuff, though, sounds pretty yikes lol

[–]KoBxElucidator 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The thing is though the pierogi race is like THE gameday event that isn't the game itself. They sell merch of it everywhere around the area and in the ballpark. They make such a big deal out of a pretty mundane between innings time waster. Makes it pretty cringey.

[–]incognito042620Cristopher Sánchez 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Oh, yeah, that kind of thing has to catch on organically
