Do you feel it?

>>75519016
I think he said at the beginning of the year he's only on for like 80-90 games. So maybe he's just taking extended breaks at various points of the year

>>75519078
i miss him, hopefully he comes back soon

There's one..

Coulda been worse. Nice run by DOOBS

Guy can't throw 2 no-hitters in a row, r-right?

Dude just getting into baseball.

Literally first game I have watched since I saw one live when I was like 10.

My closest local team is philly (Central Jersey)

What am I in for?

>>75519361
5 long innings of Vince Velasquez

WHY CAN'T HE DEVELOP PITCH COMMAND

>>75519405
I dont know what that means but okay.

>>75519422
Our pitcher doesn't do well at getting quick outs.

>>75519405
Reminder he's gonna be the future closer. He's not meant to be a starter. Dude has no idea how to manage counts.

>>75519437
Why doesn't philly have one of those things that shows who is up to bat/pitching and where the ball goes every pitch?

>>75519508
they do have a pitch tracker but it's not constantly shown

i personally like this because it's distracting when it's up all the time

>>75519461
>We traded a Closer for two relief pitchers
And it's not just VV. Every pitcher we have that isn't Hellickson has problems with pitch economy

>>75519508
That's the Fox overlay. Comcast is a bit behind on that stuff. they just now got a virtual strikezone

what the hell is a shift?

>>75519539
have you seen giles lately tho? he's not doing too well either

A shift is the defensive alignment for a situation. If you have a hitter who likes to pull the ball(hitting the ball towards the side he bats on) a lot, you'll see shifts like pic related, where they take everybody and move them to the left.

Far too many players struggle at adjusting to this

>>75519605
It's a shame. If we move VV to the closer, and Appel takes to the bullpen will, it'll be a win. A sad win though. I'll never forget that 16k game

>>75519603
For more, look at some of the pictures in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_positioning

saunders having such great at-bats lately.

JEB SURGE

>>75519719
GUACLINS

>>75519745
Is it weird that I like the Marlins more now that Jeb owns it?

Feel like Freddie's streak is gonna end lads

New guy here again.

Tfw I like the phillies announcer better but marlins stream has much better interface.

This isn't what I was talking about when I asked if you felt it

>>75519869
I'm surprised; McCarthy is as dry as bread. Might check the Marlins feed to see what they're saying about us

>>75519909
As bad as McCarthy is, the Marlins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Nationals, and a couple others manage to have it worse

>>75519869
tmac is one of the most annoying broadcasters ever, you'll probably hate him if you watch a lot of games

>>75519958
He's actually liked by a lot of the non hardcore base. only people I know in my family that hate him are me, my cousins, and my grandmom

VV!

Oh god VV could've been hurt there

>.183
His BABIP is so low though, he's going to break through soon

franco pls

THE FIRE RISES IN FRANCO

FRANCGOD!!!!!

HOLY FUCK 2ND OF THE YEAR

>tommy joseph making contact

It's something!

>>75520169
rhys hoskins when

There it is! There's the Phillie nibble!

Why do I feel like if philly broadcasters were reading tweets it would be more funny.

>>75520248
they actually tried that a few years ago, as you can imagine it was a disaster

VV's walk rate is insane. He's actually gotten a handful of 0-2 coutns to walks this year too. It's so annoying

>VV with a reasonable amount of pitches thrown through four innings

I'mOkayWithThis.jpg

WTF I just checked before coming home and the marlins were just up 2-0

>>75520473
You got FRANCO'd

>>75520519
Was he the one that has an anger issues?

FUCK

DAT DOUBLE PLAY

>>75520532
http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/reports-marlins-tv-analyst-tommy-hutton-fired-for-negativity/

nah he was fired because he was because too negative of loria. Even though the marlins have not made the playoffs in 14 years

>trying to learn what stats mean
Nobody told me this sport required math to enjoy.

Also how the fuck am I gonna remember all these peoples names. I feel like a Nazi calling people by their numbers.

>>75520589
which stats do you need help with?

>>75520621
Just looking at formulas for percentage based ones (slugging batting average, whatever that piching one is)

Made my eyes glaze over.

>marlins fedora

god what a terrible idea

>>75520697
basically just remember that lower era = good

and higher slg, avg, obp, and ops = good

If you listen to the game on radio does it have different announcers?

I feel like the commentary on this live tv barely describes what's going on.

>>75520869
yes
the philly radio guys are much better than tv

>>75520910
marlins radio guy is the best and HOF. better than tv too

I'm glad VV is generating weak contact today.

should they let VV pitch the 7th?

>>75521150
If they hit well enough to get to his spot in the order, no.

>tfw things are looking up

are phillies games usually this empty or is the weather still too cool for people?

>>75522511
It became empty when they started sucking in 2012.

>>75522527
werent they ok the last two years? around .500?

I havent watched baseball in a while and I remember that place being packed back then

>>75522511
it's meaningless regular season baseball.

No, they've been pretty shitty the last couple years. Even had the worst record in 2015.

Might have had a chance to make the playoffs, but they sold in July

>>75522808
I'm slowly but surely working through my awoo collection. I don't have the Autism I did when I popped out all the Eagles one in a day

I mean the Phillies are looking good. We are actually hitting. I think if this game happened last year we wouldn't be hitting like this. Will we make it to the playoffs? Probably not. Maybe wildcard at best.

>>75522894
If EVERYTHING goes right, we can sneak a WC2 spot. It won't though, so enjoy the progress and prospects. Also, a potential prospect for Hellickson, provided we don't extend him

>>75522894
nothing means anything until the all star break.

>>75522894
>>75522915

I'm liking what I'm seeing, but I don't think the Phils going to make the playoffs. I'd be happy with a winning record this year.

>>75522894
>>75522915
you guys think Neris should be shopped for a king's ransom? Nats and Rags are gonna be in a huge bidding war

>>75523211
I don't think he's untouchable, but I want something tangible in return. The best thing we get can't just be a lottery ticket

New guy here again. tfw at top of 7th inning I went to clean my filthy PTR91 rifle and missed the end of the game.

Phillies won hurray.

I tried in vain to get a radio app downloaded but its hard to do that with your hands covered in carbon and oil.
