I'm really sick of walks leading to wins and wasted opportunities. Who's with me?

I don't even know how to begin to research this, but I'm sure the Marlins are leading the majors in leadoff walk allowed to score percentage, and dead last in plating their own leadoff walks.

Raises hand.

The walks have to stop. These guys are afriad of throwing strikes sometimes.

Disappointing loss.

And runners stranded.

disappointing loss yes but im gonna stay positive here solely because of Wednesday's huge walkoff...if we hadnt done that and had just lost 3 straight I'd complain more...but thats not the case...so I need to say yes we wasted our chances but we definitely stayed in the game and really only the ninth was a total disaster...this is a simple case of the Phillies being, in Rich Waltz's words, just one run better...go get em tomorrow and thats that...

i know this is not why we lost the game, but i'm really getting sick of fredi very quickly.

well, the bullpen blew it on this one. it was a good game till tank came in and dropped his pants.

could have easily added a couple more runs to pad up the lead in the late innings. was tough to give up those 2 HR in the 8th inning.

Any news on Cabs? Before tonight's game, I read somewhere that the team trainer said he can't injure himself further by playing, and Fredi mentioned he should be 100% in a week or so. I sure do hope his pain tonight was a temporary thing, and that he hasn't aggravated his oblique.

he looked terrible tonight (except swinging the bat)

:blink:

I'm really getting sick of all these darned strikeouts.

 

Marlins are on pace for a franchise record 1318 Strikeouts.

....and, lost in all of this was another non-"quality start" by a starting pitcher. I realize Sanchez didn't lose this game single-handedly, but I believe, we're 6-0 when our starter has given us a "quality start", by going at least 6.0 innings and giving up no more than 3 ER.

It's just 2 solo homer. It could happen anytime in small park.

 

But, Look at the comparison 1-2 hitters and 3-4 hitters

 

Hanley & Uggla had 1-for-10 with 5K.

Miggy & Jake had 6-for-9 with 1BB 2K.

 

1-2 hitters didn't make the job.

 

There's lots of reasons we lost this game, but I pointed out 1-2 hitters problem.

I'm more upset about the stranded runners and Anibal's nibbling than the bullpen.

we going have days like this both my team lost heat and marlins that suck

that always happens when they play on the same day, it's almost

as if they plan it out and do it to piss me off.

You hit the nail on the head.

 

This game was lost in the middle innings when TWICE the runner on 2B did not score on a ball hit to the outfield. I think everyone on this board knew that 4 or 5 runs wasnt going to secure a victory @ Citizens.

 

 

On a positive note, Olivo stepped up big again with a key hit.

Both teams stranded a lot of runners. You could say that we could have had more runs, but the Phillies could have easily had more as well.

There are a few things I am sick of...

 

-Our starters not being able to pitch atleast 6 innings

-Trying to over swing in certain situations and striking out

-Walks Walks Walks

-Not being able to add on some runs

 

But I did like....

 

Jacobs - He looked amazing last night. (Forgot to add)... From what I remember Jake had a hit to CF, LF, RC, and RF. Great to see him hit the ball to different parts of the field. Too bad there was nobody on base when he came to bat. If Uggla or Hanley got on (Atleast 2x) this game probably would have been won by us.

The one good thing to come out of the game is that Jacobs looked amazing.

Deffinately, Olivo or Ross with the bases loaded looks good for us But I think it was Hammer that hit the ball up the middle when Cabrera was on base and he couldnt score. I think he would have scored if his torso wasnt hurting him.

Anibal pulled a Ricky Nolasco last night, he couldn't throw the fastball for strikes but when it came time to throw the curveball he could have thrown it through a thimble.

 

I'd like to see how many times in baseball history a team has struck out 15 times while getting 15 hits. I cannot wait until strike out machines like Borchard and Ross are out of the line up for De Aza and Hermida.
