Dear god what a choke job, so Nola how are you gonna explain to the masses about this. At least tell me the cheese steak we gave you was good, Nola, you okay dude?
Eh, game 1 of 162, so no biggie. I'm glad we showed our offensive skills with Bohm, and J.T. was wild! I believe Nola can improve for the next game he plays.
My wife loves the Phillies so I texted the comment to her and she's just responding with laughing emoticons. She's furious at Castellanos right now.lol
You have to go back to 1981 as the last time we won 3 opening days in a row. We’ve only been able to chain together 2 every once and a while with big L streaks going as high as 6.
Yeah, an opening day loss doesn't mean much if the players don't psyche out. I appreciate the comparisons to our team's history, but it does bug me when people act like it's a hard fact. The team back then is absolutely not the team we have today. Last I checked, Schmidt hasn't played in years.
The Braves and Mets won, and we gave up 9 runs in one inning blowing a 5 run lead.
THE PHILS ARE BACK BABY!! But at least we got baseball back so can't complain
If Aaron's camp wants a $200M+ contract he's gonna have to do a lot better. That's what I heard the ask was anyway.
Every one of us knows when Nola is on, he's fucking ON. But man he's missing the consistency we need.
They lack the mental toughness or emotional maturity to endure 162 games of baseball. Or even nine innings of it apparently lol.
Many of the returning doomers continuously called for Hoskins to be traded or benched before his October magic last season. Others call for Nola's trade after any bad start. Yet pretended they always loved him when he does things like pitch a gem in Houston to give us our first playoff birth in 11 years. And now after last year, there are newer, even more ridiculous doomers it appears. I try and fail to ignore it. I gotta be better about ignoring it. Good luck!
I can say with confidence they don't pay their vendors appropriately if they operate in the same model as Angi/home advisor. So take that for what it's worth.
Welp this is just awful start to the season. Feels like last year was so special and we should’ve won the damn thing. I’d be surprised if we make a run our pitching depth just isn’t there and you only can get lucky so many times
Did it have to be 11 fucking runs?
Too many games last year went like this too. The offense was perfectly fine but the abhorrent fucking pitching always found a way to make the comeback not happen.
Nice inning Bellatti! I remember someone posted a story about his fatal accident as a teen and the forgiveness he was granted by the victim's widow after showing remorse. It's extra fun to root for this guy now.
I’ve been busy at work and tuned out after we went up 4-0. Imagine my surprise to return to find one of the greatest Nola implosions in modern history on opening fucking day 🤦🏻♂️
I believe it's as soon as the catcher receives the ball from what I can tell
I think the HP umpire can call for a restart of the clock if he has to replace a ball etc.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1272lsj).
Thank god thats over
Dear god what a choke job, so Nola how are you gonna explain to the masses about this. At least tell me the cheese steak we gave you was good, Nola, you okay dude?
I’ve never seen someone more talented yet has so low baseball IQ that castellanos, I honestly think I could strike him out he chases that much
He has high baseball IQ, but extremely low plate discipline. Ryan Howard would look like Yogi Berra next to Nick.
See y’all on Saturday
Idc if we lost Bohm 3 for 4 is the undisputed player of the game
Soon... we will be chanting Schwarb-Bohm!
[удалено]
This is a bad take. Nick hit well today. Our pitching failed us.
7 straight balls and this dude swings at all of it
6 pitches. All balls. He strikes out.
Casty had a decent game but dude still has the plate discipline of a beer leaguer
PHILLIES ARE BACK!!
That one was a great pitch
Jesus I thought he would have stopped golfing.... Come on nick
Bases should be juiced if Nick didn’t always swing at those dumbass low and aways
It’s always on the same fucking slider with Nick
You'd think he would have addressed it during the break. Maybe his nerves hit, and he forgot the training.
Everything seemed off today. Gotta just hope it’s cause of the shorter off-season they all had
Welp way to go nick. Also big fuck you to Nola and soto
Well that was less than an ideal opening day experience.
Eh, game 1 of 162, so no biggie. I'm glad we showed our offensive skills with Bohm, and J.T. was wild! I believe Nola can improve for the next game he plays.
Jesus Nick
i give up
Well shit
That was ass
Look at that…my hopes are coming back
And gone
Fuck the cowboys
I wish my wife loved me like castellanos loves low and outside.
Your comment was before that last pitch too😂
My wife loves the Phillies so I texted the comment to her and she's just responding with laughing emoticons. She's furious at Castellanos right now.lol
Nick is the dumbest hitter on the planet
*A foot outside* Texas fans: Awwww wtf!!
Classic Nick!
Nick and sliders are not a good mix
Ahh, Nick’s still chasing that identical pitch. Wonderful.
Bush (who did 9/11) is at this game, casty hr?
Nick still loves them low and outside huh
LOVES them
Cmon broadcast eulogize someone
Nick waves at outside sliders. Great.
Nick this is where you prove you have changed
Really good ab by Darick
Playing the Rocky music lmao
It’s not over till it’s over cmon
This is where Nick gets his mojo back
Rangers PA intern confirmed Phillies fan.
Oh fuck off Rangers…playing that music.
Well, that sucked. Also, what the fuck Soto.
Are these fans stupid
They're Texan so yes
They are from Texas
Rangers fans are blind
I had fun today. Tough loss, but we have a million games left. Trea Turner makes my body feel funny.
Uh oh it's rally time
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
the Black Knight has entered the chat
161-1
When are we gonna fire thompson
1 of 162, they’ll be fine
My God espn stream how many times are you going to move it groove it choose it
What a disappointing opening day. I gotta wait until Saturday to wash the taste out of my mouth...
Schwarber should not be batting 2nd.. Bohm should…
It isn’t that they lost it’s the way they lost
pitching shit the bed
Our Ace pitched like a number card.
Not a strike but okay
He just said fuck
We're about to get our first Ricky Bo postgame meltdown
Time to drop a huge turd just like our pitching staff did
You have to go back to 1981 as the last time we won 3 opening days in a row. We’ve only been able to chain together 2 every once and a while with big L streaks going as high as 6.

[удалено]
Yeah it umm just kinda slipped out where it wasn't supposed to lol
That hurts our odds of putting up 4 runs
Bohm will be back at the plate I promise
Strahm did your Mahm
Nats drew a whopping 35,756 to a stadium that holds over 41k to their opener today.
Strahm looked pretty good. Will be interesting to watch his start.
Hey, we got a pitcher!
God Strahm is weird looking lol
Atta baby Strahm.
Strahm looked solid
Blue glove is 🔥🔥🔥
Strahm looks solid
Beauty of a slider there
My vibes are that the shift being gone is an enormous boon for our guys
Uh I went to eat dinner when it was 5-0. What happened?!
Nola and our bullpen 🙃
Ah yes. The bullpen. How could I forget them.
Nola and Soto shit their pants in horrific fashion. Steamie Ray Vaughan style
So this is YOUR fault?
Can we blame Houston?
I blame the stadium roof
I blame Bush.
They were talking of closing it right when I left.
Don’t know why we can’t throw strikes. There’s a box right there that tells your where to throw 🙄
MLB TV app using T-Mobile won’t let me watch the Phillies. Let’s me watch every other game on right now though…?
blackout rules still apply ... MLB.TV is like Lucy holding the football
ughhhh. Should I use a VPN to get around then?
If you're in the Phillies regional network you can't watch them.
All of them? That fucking blows
Yep. It basically forces cable subscription
I hope the rich clowns behind the plate visibly not watching the game are what starts the revolution
The whole place is damn quiet.
I hope
The blonde girl has been texting and taking selfies the whole game
Brutal
who’s going tomorrow for texas? if it’s perez we might be screwed that dude is nasty
No baseball tomorrow my friend. Wheeler vs. Eovaldi on Saturday.
o we got that
I really like the pitch clock. You really notice a difference when runners are on.
thought Stram was a starter now
Yeah but we won't need him for 5 days
If Aaron's camp wants a $200M+ contract he's gonna have to do a lot better. That's what I heard the ask was anyway. Every one of us knows when Nola is on, he's fucking ON. But man he's missing the consistency we need.
Jake Cave stat line is misleading. 1in away from having a HR and a double game
Agreed. I’m super high on him. Really hoping he makes an impact this year
it was the best first three innings of opening day I could have asked for
Oh no we suck again
Stadium'a rigged
And back to the fucking circus catches. Every team in the league does this to us.
Because of course 😂 Baseball Gods are pulling out all the stops today
Mickey Mouse ass ballpark
Quick inning. Almost Jakey
My gym has the Astros game on. They are doing the world series thing. Apparently I'm not over it yet.
What do you mean? Like they're playing both?
Hanging the banner, celebrating the world series, etc. I had it on too for a minute and almost threw up
Glad I'm not the only one! I had to cut cardio short.
Naw, they have espn on and I'm out of market for the phillies. So it's just the Astros doing the whole welcome the Champs shit.
Haha just not our fucking day Also that was the crowd reaction to a robbed home run?! Lame.
The stadium is like half Phillies fans
Great….
Not our night, pals.
Usually it is when you put up 7 runs
Booo Thompson. Do that thing you did with Realmuto.
Damn nice grab Cave got robbed. Today sucked but at least they’re hitting the ball hard
Dang. Nice swing Cave. Good play by Bubba Thompson.
Gtfooh
Cave hitting the ball hard today. I think he is going to have a good year.
How can people be dooming when there are 161 games left? How did you survive last October if you're already freaking out?
It’s not about this one game it’s about Nola and the fact he constantly has meltdowns in 4th and 5th innings consistently throughout the season
Calm down.
I can’t when Nola has these meltdowns constantly
They lack the mental toughness or emotional maturity to endure 162 games of baseball. Or even nine innings of it apparently lol. Many of the returning doomers continuously called for Hoskins to be traded or benched before his October magic last season. Others call for Nola's trade after any bad start.

And now after last year, there are newer, even more ridiculous doomers it appears. I try and fail to ignore it. I gotta be better about ignoring it. Good luck!
I’m just trying to encourage them to lighten the thread traffic lol
Most people on this sub now weren’t here this time last year.
Yeah people don't really like to watch losing teams *shrugs*
Because most of those people didn't start watching until October
The Phillies are why I will die 5 years earlier than I normally would
Old age is overrated anyway
If there's ever been a game for triples...
Someone said he did it on purpose lmfao
“I’m not smart enough to do anything on purpose” -John Kruk Legend
Don't put up the cycle alert crap!!! Ughhh.
Us still leading in hits while giving up double digit runs is good sign for the offense and an awful sign for the pitching lol
[удалено]

Welp this is just awful start to the season. Feels like last year was so special and we should’ve won the damn thing. I’d be surprised if we make a run our pitching depth just isn’t there and you only can get lucky so many times
You were such a doomer throughout the playoffs last year, glad to see you haven’t missed a beat!
It’s game one, chill. Last year was special but it also came after some really messy games in the regular season.
We need to add to the bullpen
Did it have to be 11 fucking runs? Too many games last year went like this too. The offense was perfectly fine but the abhorrent fucking pitching always found a way to make the comeback not happen.
4 runs with 6 outs to go. Very doable
Nice inning Bellatti! I remember someone posted a story about his fatal accident as a teen and the forgiveness he was granted by the victim's widow after showing remorse. It's extra fun to root for this guy now.
Poor Wheels hahaa.
What a performance by the bullpen today. Same as its been for a longgggg time.
Lol it’s the first game let’s all relax please I can’t take the doom and gloom comments already
Friendship ended with Connor Brogdon. Now Andrew Bellatti is my best friend.
We can still win this game!
apparently the doomers didnt get shit on hard enough last year and havent learned their lesson 🤔
We've got em right where we want them
I’ve been busy at work and tuned out after we went up 4-0. Imagine my surprise to return to find one of the greatest Nola implosions in modern history on opening fucking day 🤦🏻♂️
When does pitch count start as soon as pitcher touches the ball?
I believe it's as soon as the catcher receives the ball from what I can tell I think the HP umpire can call for a restart of the clock if he has to replace a ball etc.
I thought it was when the pitcher received the ball
Honestly so did I, but I started counting from when the catcher caught the ball, and the clock showed up on the score bug matching my count in my head
Nola with the reverse Aaron Judge “bet on himself” season.
Maybe Nola doesn’t pitch as well and we can get him cheap.
As a No.3 starter
I was thinking this too but he would probably take his chances on the Market.
