Yup, the weekend was the final nail in the coffin, which was already pretty much shut anyway. No fight in these guys down the stretch. Probably end up with 83-86 wins, they'll say they're pointed in the right direction, and head off to their winter homes. Without a heckuva lot of pitching help for next year, could be pretty much the same, with maybe a few more wins.

Every year is the same - the Phils can't muster enough energy and talent to stay in the race the whole year, and the Nats will lose in incredibly painful fashion early in the playoffs. Oh, and the Astros are still good.89Hen wrote:Would love it if the Phils mailed in the upcoming 5 game set in DC.GannonFan wrote:Yup, the weekend was the final nail in the coffin, which was already pretty much shut anyway.

Playing .500 ball from here gets them to 83 wins. That's doable.Ivytalk wrote:83-86 wins?

Re: 2019 Fightin' Phils Back to Relevancy Thread
But 11 games are on the road against clubs with winning records, and the last 3 are against the Marlins who have bedeviled us all year. I’m saying 81 wins tops.GannonFan wrote:Playing .500 ball from here gets them to 83 wins. That's doable.Ivytalk wrote: 83-86 wins? I’ll take the under.

Look for the Phils to, now with nothing to play for, be able to beat the Marlins. That would be a typical Phillie move.Ivytalk wrote:But 11 games are on the road against clubs with winning records, and the last 3 are against the Marlins who have bedeviled us all year.

Re: 2019 Fightin' Phils Back to Relevancy Thread
Yeah, they've been getting smoked. Not just beaten, but smoked, by the real playoff teams. Hats off to the Nats for getting into the playoffs (assuming they even hold on to that), and hats off for being slightly better than the Phillies, but come October both teams will be watching better teams still playing.89Hen wrote:Nats are in full retrograde.

Re: 2019 Fightin' Phils Back to Relevancy Thread
The Nats have absolutely nothing for the Braves, but the good news is they won't have to play them. They will lose to the Cubs, Brewers or maybe the Dodgers if we get lucky. I see a WC game where Scherzer or Stras takes them through 8 with a 2 run lead only to watch the bullpen cough it up.GannonFan wrote:Yeah, they've been getting smoked.

Re: 2019 Fightin' Phils Back to Relevancy Thread
I fully expect if the Nats get in the playoffs they will indeed find an agonizingly brutal way to lose early in the playoffs. It's just what they do.89Hen wrote:The Nats have absolutely nothing for the Braves, but the good news is they won't have to play them.

The next 6 or 7 games for both teams are brutal...

Nats officially eliminate the Phils in the afternoon game of a double header. Would be nice if they just mailed in the next four games.

Kapler threw in the towel on Sunday night despite his big talk about “winning out.” They should shitcan him next Monday and be done with it.89Hen wrote:Nats officially eliminate the Phils in the afternoon game of a double header. Would be nice if they just mailed in the next four games.

And Nats clinch with doubleheader sweep and Cubs loss. Not bad for a team that was in DFL in late May.

Paternity Leave is not happy with Nats fans. Imagine that! What a pussy. I'm embarrassed for him, letting weak ass Washington fans get the best of him.

Yikers, they pulled out the "hope your kid has autism" card. Who takes the time to have that thought and then actually send it off to someone you don't even know?

Yeah, the fanbase is horrible because of a couple social media folks? Please. The Washington fanbase as a whole is far too disinterested to label them classless.

From what I read, the heckle at the game was "Your son would be disappointed in you." That's not even close to over the line guys if true.
