>tfw you spent the offseason deluding yourself into believing your team is a contender when it's actually fucking garbage
Go Big Guys
>>76304063
just try to enjoy the 162, buddy
Please, Ben Lively
Is... Is that legal? To only pitch to 3 batters?
Why does Cueto always have a shit first inning?
>>76305956
because he has meme deliveries
>tfw to intelligent to throw the ball
>>76306007
Cueto is meme incarnate
>tfw at the game
L-let's go Phils
>>76307533
>not jerking it into a phillies glove at the stadium to give your team energy.
It's your fault we are losing.
Come on Blake Lively
You can do it
>>76308030
>not barehanding, and catching a pop fly with your own cum
Why can't the phillies hit where people cant catch it?
Announcers care so little about the game they start talking to shills part way through the inning.
At least Lively hasn't imploded yet
>only run is practically unearned
>can't hit shit off a rookie on his literal first day
Whelp, once Cueto slips up a couple times we're fucked
>>76309116
Oh you, thinking the Phillies can score runs
Watching Doobs toe tap instead of leg kick was weird
>>76309147
Giants can't score either, but even we were able to meme 10 on the board yesterday
>Cold April
>Hot may
IT'S TIME FOR TOJO'S COLD JUNE
>>76309427
Giants aren't the worst team since the 2012-2013 Astros
WE HAD A RUNNER ON THIRD WITH ONE OUT. HOW DID YOU NOT GET A BALL IN PLAY
Ben Lively has one really small sleeve and one regular sized sleeve. He also WALKED CUETO GOD DAMMIT
>>76309894
He's still doing better than Eikof
Is the Giants pitcher literally autistic?
>>76310401
yes
Score a fucking run
Even though Ben walked 950 batters this game, the game hasn't blown up yet. I'm so happy right now
I don't like how this is going.
Lively pitched pretty well.
That's our brightest moment in the last 3 weeks.
>>76310970
Stop reverse jinxing it
>cueto on pace for another 6 inning game
Time for a bullpen implosion
fuck
ToJo!
YOU DID IT TOJO
take Cueto out
I-is this what it feels like to have a lead?
It's been so long...
god fucking dammit I knew this was gonna happen
no offense at all fuck
>bullpen will now be pitching with a lead for the first time in a long while
Pls don't blow this
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
>pimping your bat at Hunter
kek I hope you like never ending feuds
ODUBEL DID A THING
>Gets mad at Harper, beans him starts a brawl
Watch out Phillies
>Odubel bat flip
He better watch out. Strickland may drill him three years from now.
>>76312004
Odubel is incapable of not flipping his bat. Even when he strikes out sometimes.
If the Phils win this I'll be 2-0 this year after not seeing a win for 5 years.
I think Neshak is my favorite pitcher.
>>76312089
I'll be 1-0. This is the only game I'll be at this year.
>>76312089
How expensive are seats that close?
strickland is great
fantastic
>>76312287
I was at the rape of the nats in the 2nd game
>>76312295
$45 on stubhub
>>76312361
Wow that's before or after fees?
Any tips for finding good seats? Also what section?
The rope stays in the closet today!
I swear to god Hector if you blow this
that was a fucking ball
>>76312601
It was close.
>>76312382
Before the $15 fee unfortunately. No tips other than look all the time. My gf wanted to go to this one because of the concert after so I've been looking everyday for weeks
>>76312382
And section 112
I swear to god Hector, if you blow this..
d-dont get my hopes up Jints. It just makes the pain worse in the end
DON'T BLOW THIS YOU FUCKS
I swear to god, Hecor. If you blow this...
>tying run at the plate
>scared.jpg
pls walk Hill
I don't trust him
>>76312759
>60 year old aaron hill
dont worry
I SWEAR TO GOD HECTOR IF YOU BLOW THIS
>Jeanmar Gomez
It was too good to be true
>Phillies are going to blow this
PHILLIES WIN
whelp
gg Phillies
HAD IT ALL ALONG NO SWEAT
>First start, hit, walk, win, and balk
>No strikeout
kek
gg phillies.
Thanks again for yesterday's W. Now, SF bats need to hibernate again and the bullpen needs to re-kindle the dumpster.
-------------------------
Thanks a lot Strick!

Series finale (game #3) is a getaway game (travel after)
... tomorrow at 1:35 PM ET | 10:35 AM PT
Hurray for the Phillies!
>>76312943
I'm just worried that when Strickland and Herrera meet again in 2020 he'll try to bean him
javier lopez > jeremy affeldt
>>76312983
I feel like Odubal would try to beat someone to death with a bat.
Go Phillies!
>>76313011
I think it's more likely that Herrera would do a bat flip after getting hit
>>76313048
>Icelandic Phillies fan
dude what
btw Doobs could've easily had two homeruns this game. The wind pulled both balls back into play
>KNBR Giants Post-Game Wrap
>>Duane Kuiper: Noboby flips a bat better than Odubel Herrera
>>John Miller: I can't wait 3 years from now when he gets to face Hunter (Strickland) again!
