really surprised to hear that this morning. Figured they were powerful enough to avoid the layoffs. Nick better get his resume together he is next. They really are a great morning show.

Yeah when they were leading to the buildup I thought someone from the station had died or was terminally ill. Although this is almost just as bad. Wonder why her, but yeah I would have thought Nick before her. :sad:

Nice comeback! And it’s way better to be the road team in zombie runner extra innings.

The Juggler · May 9

Possibly the best win of the season last night. Plus Painter throwing 98 in his debut. Good test this weekend.

It'll always be the FU Center to me.

I'm a Corestates guy, myself...

And that thing in Camden is still the Sony Blockbuster Entertainment Center.

I feel like I have never really known the name of the Camden amphitheater.

I think it's wild that people think this team stinks. Love the Birds but when the bar is set to 'Super Bowl Champions' and is applied to the Phillies it's lunacy. I've got text chains with buddies being like "Turner sucks", "this team just isn't that good", and I feel like I'm seeing a bit of this. Which is just nuts.

They are playing better now. April was pretty mediocre TBH. They were .500-ish and their wins were mostly struggles. This is more like it.

Yeah but still. It being April was kind of part of my point. There's no way to be grossly disappointed in this team in April unless they were playing like the Rockies.

They're gonna sleepwalk to 90 wins based on their starting pitching alone.

Yeah but sleepwalking is mediocre. Also they could win 90 games and not make the playoffs. Especially with the NL West feasting on the Rockies 12x each or however many it is.

I agree with JP. I blame it on people constantly having an Eagles NFL mentality when it comes to baseball.

The point I'm making is that's on their starting pitching alone.

And I'd rather have them be chasing than be the favorite. I AM convinced they're not great as the favorite.

Can I just say how irritated I get when Topper does the stupid righty lefty shit and Marsh pinch hits for Rojas and strikes out on 3 pitches? This guy has, what, zero home runs this year.

Johnny Abruzzo · May 14

I wonder if Jordan Romano took #68 to match Jordan Mailata. Nice to see that he remembered how to pitch again.

Yeah when he came in I thought we might lose the game. Didn't he strike out the side as well? Only thing that kinda sucked was Schwrabie ending his on base streak at like 46 or something like that?

Arrgh Marsh is horrible.

Yes, yes he is. Rather just have Rojas out there every day until they bring Crawford up

PA license plate for the show looks sweet, but they really missed an opportunity to have it say "You've got a friend in..."
