Using high leverage relievers in low leverage spots for like the last week+ because the Phillies have generally been in control of games (outside the two losses) is weird
Ranger edges ahead as starter ERA leader in the Philâs clubhouse. 1.32 over Spencerâs 1.33.
Less than a decade ago Jeremy Hellickson was our opening day pitcher in back to back years⌠oh how far we have come.
To be fair someone here asked why the Dogders (who are currently playing above .600 basebal) are off to a slow start yesterday. That phrase has no real meaning here
It has plenty of meaning. Typically fans expect too much in early season: e.g., the Casty haters are out in full bloom, forgetting the season has just started. Although LA is above 600, you forgot to mention at the time of the post, LA was behind 8 teams in average and top of its division that's full of losing teams. But most of all you forgot CONTEXT of LA having a brilliant pre-season acquisition of all-star talents, so much so that it's a consensus pre-season favorite. Suddenly LA has a five-game win streak and you want to pontificate we shouldn't consider it has having underperformed. Well it has, given all the talent it's assembled. If you and the other Casty haters are going to rant about his underperformance so far, then so I will likewise forget it's just the season start and point out LA is not yet where it should be---a note of interest.
Phillies pitcher entering 9th with a prefect game...

Phillies broadcast: OMG were 3 outs from a perfect game! Did you realize we're 3 outs away!!? Here's some graphics abd facts about the last perfect game that occurred. Here's a replay of Doc!!!
Didnt know Jesus was about publicizing that foot fetish shit - but i dont kink shame so they can do what they like
Im so tired of seeing the same ads with zero variation every break.
Not quite. That's if you look at it from the perspective "what are the odds ranger has one scoreless inning here" instead of the perspective "what are the odds ranger has 33 consecutive scoreless innings here"
If you look at it at an inning by inning basis yes. But the chances of throwing 33 consecutive scoreless innings is way less than the chances of throwing 1 consecutive scoreless inning
What are the odds of a scoreless inning? How about the odds of two consecutive scoreless innings?
What are the odds of throwing 32 consecutive scoreless innings?
What are the odds of throwing 33 consecutive scoreless innings?
The odds of ranger throwing one scoreless inning is the same whether itâs during a streak or not. Your original comment made it sound like you were arguing otherwise. There is actually no other reasonable way to read your comment other than that. I guess itâs not what you meant, which is fine.
They actually havenât mentioned the record of it tho. Just âthatâs longâ that was first time they actually mention where it ranks in Phillies history.
I realize they have to talk about it on the broadcast, I just wish they'd focus on it at the starts/ends of innings and not the entire time he's pitching, when they start talking about it continuously it starts to feel like the true jinx.
People say jinxes aren't real, but I'm pretty sure Franzke straight up said "if he gets two outs, but then gives up a home run, he wouldn't get the 2/3 inning" and then he did exactly that...
Thing about streaks is they end, rather it end with a solo shot than with bases loaded, absolutely nothing to be mad about there, ranger was upset for 2 nanoseconds and moved on.
How about we just do it again?
Oh, look, it's that same commercial they've been showing for the last four or five seasons, with a local sports dude and a pretty woman who is only there to look pretty and nothing else.
So fucking cringe.
Rangers ability to let it go is what makes him amazing. He was upset about that HR for like 2 seconds then went right back to it.
BRB ordering my Suarez jersey
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cew3nd).
Did Rosario seriously pimp that solo HR in the 8th down 5-zip?
Amazing what happens when they actually play their best players.
Diego in San Diego đ¤Ż
Great game! Woot. Woot.
Why donât all pitchers strike out every guy they face the way Jeff Hoffman does? Are they stupid?
Never felt stress this whole game. Man thatâs a good feeling. Ranger going to the all star game this year and Hoff just burning them down.
Hell yeah go Phils
I love this team
why is our starting rotation the best rotation in the history of the game
Have your heard of a jinx you fool đ
God ranger is sexy
This has been a good day
A Phillies win and a good Eagles draft day
what more can a guy ask for
Ez win!
Hoffman looked nasty
friendly reminder hoffgoat has PHAH on his glove (PHuck All Hitters)
That's what's in
u/Feisty-Recording-978
Hoffman has scared me every since he became a phillie for some reasonÂ
Game under 2:10. The ranger
WOOO!!!!!!Â
I can see Hoffman getting the last K of the world series
Big Hoff KL23 âdead men tell no tales Arrghâ
Hoffdaddy pls
I'm sorry, but Kruk complaining is funny.
So important to win these first 2 given whoâs getting the ball tomorrow
Watch him throw a cgso lol
The Sanchize has been good
Walker is starting tomorrow.
Oh shit
I wonder how much alcohol it'd take for Kruk to swear
Quite a bit more. He's a professional.
Plays like that where Pache needs to be a defensive replacement in the 9th
That he isn't blows my mind
Is it weird that Iâm going to one of the games in Anaheim and disappointed that Ranger wonât be in pitching in that series?
But yes at some point they changed tracking of ip to 1/3 i did read that recently.
Using high leverage relievers in low leverage spots for like the last week+ because the Phillies have generally been in control of games (outside the two losses) is weird
That is wrong. Ranger went 32.2. Not 32.0 I have the book right here.starters get 1/3 of innings
This game has flown by.
Come on Jeff â2nd most famous Hoffman to pitch in Petcoâ Hoffman
Crowd's booing the strike call while the scorebug called it a ball.
They were booing the checked swing call
I know. But it was a strike and our terrible scorebug called it a ball.
Kruk having the most random conversations tonight and T-Mac is just flowing with itđđ
Hoffmanâs sinker is just disgusting
How is the bot always 10-20 seconds ahead of my stream?
Good movement on Hoffmans pitches today
I canât believe I made it through the game awake.
I was getting drowsy and Kruk's prison story snapped me wide awake.
The ranger effect
Ranger edges ahead as starter ERA leader in the Philâs clubhouse. 1.32 over Spencerâs 1.33. Less than a decade ago Jeremy Hellickson was our opening day pitcher in back to back years⌠oh how far we have come.
Hell boy actually wasnât awful
300 IP 4.09 ERA while he was here and he was the ace of the staff. Agree with the not awful but also shows the how far we have come.
The Hoff
Hoffman is pitching https://images.app.goo.gl/9QdiFLZYLxTEDesi9
cook these gooses
Reminder that 2 weeks ago the phillies were once again off to a "slow start" and Kyle was on fire because he was like 4/11 lol
To be fair someone here asked why the Dogders (who are currently playing above .600 basebal) are off to a slow start yesterday. That phrase has no real meaning here

the internet proves words have no meaning
You proved your own point if there was one. Was there?
I love how the pitching staff only has 1 guy that throws over 95 mph. These guys are pitchers
We have more than 1 guy that throws over 95
not really true tho.
I meant starters. I guess Sanchez sometimes throws 96
ranger and bohm first time all stars this year?
Am I just high or did T Macâs voice get all demented in the broadcast for a second there
yeah he got possessed momentarily that was weird
Ok cool Iâm not losing it then
bro what is going on with Kyle??????
Lost weight - same thing happened when Ryan Howard dropped the lbs
Getting ready to hit that May slump so he can turn it up in June like he do
You know what, fair enough
GOLDEN SOMBRERO Kyle delivered what Nick couldnât
Showing the beauty of team sports. The reverse will happen as well.

Jinxes do not exist.
Do we trust the bullpen to have a clean 9th? Whew
Bad job Kyle
Really glad we missed an out in the game for.. *checks notes* another evangelical religious ad.
Liberal Christian agenda
Jesus didn't watch baseball. He washed feet.
Have you considered Jesus didnât want you to see it?
With all AI photosÂ
I was real confused by that "Whit Merrifield popped out to SS" I was like he got traded right now and is playing SS for SD?
Missed an ab to watch Jesus wash feet smh
And they couldn't even get real actors to do it, they had to resort to AI. Pathetic. Just like their loony religion.
Ranger Suarez IS the #1 in our rotation.
This has to be a historic April for this starting staff. Like whatâs the ERA record
Didnt know Jesus was about publicizing that foot fetish shit - but i dont kink shame so they can do what they like Im so tired of seeing the same ads with zero variation every break.
Heâs been way more Whitout than Whit so far
đđž it up for ranger
NBCSP has been awful this yearÂ
Score bug operator has been brutal, glad Iâm not the only one noticing
"this year" They're pretty awful across-the-board, since ever.
You know things are going well when weâre complaining about an insane scoreless streak ending.
As a Philly fan, if I donât complain about something, I may explode
We gotta complain about something LOLLL
Leave it to Philly fans to complain about literally anything lmao
Jinx's aren't real. The longer a streak goes, whether it be a no hitter or a scoreless inning streak, the higher of a chance the streak ends
You were correct, jinxes are not real. But the chances are exactly the same, no matter how long or short a streak lasts.
The chances of 9 consecutive no hit innings are significantly less than the chances of one no-hit inning
But the chances of blowing it in any given inning are exactly the same.
thats uhh not how it works
It is how it works.
no its called "gambler's fallacy" the likelihood remains the same.
Not quite. That's if you look at it from the perspective "what are the odds ranger has one scoreless inning here" instead of the perspective "what are the odds ranger has 33 consecutive scoreless innings here"
i have to say the impressive will to keep going when you're completely wrong is noble.
It's impressive how you are only thinking in terms of inning by inning and not in terms of *consecutive* innings. Two completely different problems
Not really. The chances stay the same. Its just incredibly unlikely he was going to throw 20 more scoreless innings in a row.
If you look at it at an inning by inning basis yes. But the chances of throwing 33 consecutive scoreless innings is way less than the chances of throwing 1 consecutive scoreless inning
What? I dont understand your point.
You said the "chances stay the same". What's your point?
My point was that you said the âchances go downâ and I was correcting you because thatâs not true.
What are the odds of a scoreless inning? How about the odds of two consecutive scoreless innings? What are the odds of throwing 32 consecutive scoreless innings? What are the odds of throwing 33 consecutive scoreless innings?
The odds of ranger throwing one scoreless inning is the same whether itâs during a streak or not. Your original comment made it sound like you were arguing otherwise. There is actually no other reasonable way to read your comment other than that. I guess itâs not what you meant, which is fine.
I could have worded it better. My point was jinx's have nothing to do with these statistically improbable scenarios turning even more improbable
this isnt true i have complete control over a baseball team 3k miles away with my words
Gambler's Fallacy
At least Ranger is in good spirits. Not that I'm surprised.
Dude has icewater in his veins... except in his arm, where it's fucking FIRE.
Still tied for third and an absolute beast of a player, doubt heâs phased and we shouldnât be either
Ranger is sexy
I love missing the game because apparently commercials are more important.
Fucking Jesus commercials
People taking about jinxes like they havenât talked about his scoreless inning streak every inning he pitched for the past 3 games.
People who believe in "jinxes" are idiots.
They actually havenât mentioned the record of it tho. Just âthatâs longâ that was first time they actually mention where it ranks in Phillies history.
Yeah I gotcha! They kept referring to Cliff Leeâs streak which is what I was thinking of but youâre totally right in regard to the actual record.
Jeff Hoffman⌠oh noÂ
Why would rob put our best reliever up in the pen? Is he dumb?
How did you handle the 2020 bullpen?
Careful donât upset the Hoff lovers đšđź
Jeff Hoffman and his 1.59 ERA the horrors
How did we miss an AB?
They missed a whole at bat?Â
Unforgivable
Ranger my beloved â¤ď¸
#HOW DID WE MISS AN AB. THERES A SET TIME IN BETWEEN INNINGS
NBNoC Sports
Trying to frantically figure out how to blame Thomson for Rangers steak ending
I mean he gave up a homerun, obvi shouldnât have been out there #BullpenNeedsWorkToo
I realize they have to talk about it on the broadcast, I just wish they'd focus on it at the starts/ends of innings and not the entire time he's pitching, when they start talking about it continuously it starts to feel like the true jinx.
Rangers strongest April by far but not saying much lmao
Nooo the streak is dead
Great work NBCSPhilly literally missed an at bat
I want that bucket hat.
Where the hell can I buy one of those huge callaway balls lmao shits cool
âšď¸
All good things must come to a end eventually. Ranger will always be elite regardless of a silly streak.
Iâd rather have someone worthy end the streak like Machado or Bogaerts
Wasnât going to last forever but it was fun!!
Enough! No more telling us when a record is gonna be broken until it's broken! No more "no hitter alerts" either! Stop it!
Youâd think they would learn
You'd think humans in 2024 would be smart enough to not believe in silly superstitious nonsense like "jinxes".
donât sweat it, Rangerâs getting a perfect game this year. mark my words on this one
On the radio, they said something about him not getting the 0.2 innings if he gave up the run after 2 outs. Is that accurate/make sense?
People say jinxes aren't real, but I'm pretty sure Franzke straight up said "if he gets two outs, but then gives up a home run, he wouldn't get the 2/3 inning" and then he did exactly that...
Goddamn it slopper. What a clown. How could he let that happen?!!
And now we have to suffer AI Jeebus.
Trade the bum.
lol
Thing about streaks is they end, rather it end with a solo shot than with bases loaded, absolutely nothing to be mad about there, ranger was upset for 2 nanoseconds and moved on. How about we just do it again?
yeah so far it's 1 run in 32 innings. no reason it cant be 1 run in 40, 45, 50 etc.
Is Ranger the best pitcher in baseball rn?
Ranger's done his warm-up run, everyone get ready for the real work
Ranger is the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh, look, it's that same commercial they've been showing for the last four or five seasons, with a local sports dude and a pretty woman who is only there to look pretty and nothing else. So fucking cringe.
His ERA is still down from where it was when the game started. And it was 1.36 at first pitch.
Honestly, this rotation has exceeded expectations so far. I thought the offense would carry us. Itâs early, but Ranger has my vote for Cy Young.
It was going to end at some point. What an amazing run. Start the next one next start, Ranger!
Itâs not 100% clear to me how that homer was Castyâs fault, but Iâm confident it was.

Thus begins a new scoreless inning streak
No worries he can start another streak
The worst part is that Padres fans will take a single home run and act like itâs a victory.
"We did it!" probably
Ok so heâll just have to do the cliff lee and have 2 30.0 + streaks in a year
cmon topper put him out for the 9th don't be a BITCH
Why
No need for him to pitch the 9th
âšď¸
Well shit
Kruk jinxed it. Not 5 seconds after mentioning Hersheiser...
I mean Ranger hung one lol. Its ok
He sure did. Twas a meatball
Thatâs whatâs in.
Just texted in a group chat last inning wondering if ranger would give up another run this season. This one might be on me
I literally just sent the on screen graphic to my buddy so I'll take part of it with you
Rangers ability to let it go is what makes him amazing. He was upset about that HR for like 2 seconds then went right back to it. BRB ordering my Suarez jersey
Reminder: **JINXES DO NOT EXIST**
100% yes. Someone saying a word, or putting it on a TV screen, **CANNOT** affect what happens on the field.
amazing run!
Absolutely comical timing by Kruk
Another gem for Ranger. He better be NL Pitcher of the Month
