Rob is set in his ways if he gives a guy the day off he sticks to it whether we win or we lose and he has to change his ways give the team best chance to win
He's less concerned about winning that single game as he is giving them a full day off. He said so as much, we've got a big lead and we've gotten the ship back on course so no reason to push it.
@@Blacksheep-uy3qvone single at bat isn’t gonna make a difference and could be a crucial win. Idt Rob understand that winning the division mean nothing if you have to still play the WC game
We all agree: When TJ Walker is starting and Stubbs is behind the plate and batting 9th with his 0.193 batting average, we are screwed. I get where the Phils want to try to get something out of the Walker investment. With a decent lead over ATL, it's maybe worth using Walker to chew up innings to save our good starter's arms for the post-season. But there is no excuse for Stubbs. None. He is a minor leaguer. Seriously. He is not an MLB player and should not be on this team especially with Marchan available and hitting 0.294, 0.894 OPS in his time on the team. Marchan is also a switch hitter. There is no reason Stubbs should be on this team. I don't care about his "vibe" and if he's a good DJ in the clubhouse. This game is won on the field and Stubbs sucks. Also, "HR" Hoffman has given up two 9th inning homers in close games recently...our bullpen is struggling. And lastly, Sosa comes through (again!) with a clutch hit in the 9th. He's on 1st with no outs and the best we can do is send up Stevenson (0.200) and Stubbs (0.193)?!?!?!?! OK...Thompson wants to give JT and Harper the day off. But what about Wilson? After Sosa's single, I thought, I hope these two clowns (Stevenson/Stubbs) only make two outs so that Schwarber gets a chance to tie the game. Of course, Stevenson/Stubbs make three outs...
Listening to Rob Thomson actually defend not pinch-hitting Bryce in the 9th inning is ridiculous. Im not even saying he had to put him in the field. I can live with JT not playing but to keep Harper or Wilson on the bench is outright criminal. Hey Rob, did Bryce take any batting practice today or did he really have the day off lol?
So....we leave Stubbs at the plate yet again to make the last out. THIS is why they need to bring Marshan back up so they have a 3rd catcher. If JT MUST have the full day off, and not even come in to pinch hit, then they need Marshan because he's a much better hitter then Stubbs, and could catch should the game go into overtime. Schwarber was on deck, so if Stubbs, or a pinch hitter gets on, Schwarbs can tie it up. The way it was handled was as if Thomson was just giving up. He did the same thing a few weeks ago, and frankly, infuriated the fan base. Doing the same damn thing again is inexcuseable in my view.
You are absolutely correct! Stubbs is not a MLB player. I am sorry, but he needs to be in the minors. I don't care if Harper thinks that Stubbs has a good "vibe" or is a good clubhouse DJ. Marchan is 1,000 times better and is a switch hitter. GET RID OF STUBBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coach Thomson with the JV "white flag line-up" again. Knew before the 1st pitch that he was forfeiting this one. And I understand that they are optimistic that Ty Walker can work his way back into the rotation after his injury-plagued season. But how many more times are they going to run him out there, knowing "he just doesn't have good stuff" ?
Thomson is awful, yes. Not pinch hitting Harper and JT in the 9th is inexcusable. They have a day off tomorrow. There’s no excuse whatsoever for that. That being said, the main problem here is the pitching. Walker just flat out STINKS! Something needs to happen because this guy just CANNOT go out there and pitch anymore. It’s just an automatic loss at this point. But it wasn’t just him. Time to call this like it is, this bullpen isn’t good right now. It hasn’t been good for over a month and a half. It’s a major problem for this team. There’s no reason at all that Strahm and Hoffman couldn’t get it done against a triple A team. Just unacceptable. This team still has major issues. Pitching and in game management being at the top of the list.
Thomson is horrible,he has single handedly just thrown away at least a handful of games this season on his own that they could've definitely won.We aren't guarenteed to even get a bye yet.
@@adammiller8597 And we don't really play against Atlanta well,at least in the regular season.This guy is just throwing games away like the phils have everything completely wrapped up,watch them not even get a bye because of this.He needs his bosses up top to tell him to get some common sense real quick.
@@adammiller8597 For Robs sake he better get a brain because he's not that far from playing in a wc in the first round with his moves.I promise you that the Phil's would've won around 5 more games with obviously around 5 less losses if he didn't screw things up with these "scheduled losses".
Jesus Christ, Harper would have most likely struck out or hit into an out. You act like pinch hitting him in the 9th guaranteed a win. Nothing more annoying than a UA-cam manager…
Thomson is a 🤡 but this bullpen not 1 guy is reliable and finally Walker for 15mil is the worst contract since DD took over. Phillips is just as good at min. So where is this team is back crowd?? Stubbs Jesus get Marchan back already
I completely agree with you on our bullpen and Stubbs. Both are bad. At least the bullpen has potential and can get better...I hope. But Stubbs? He is not a MLB player...period. He is a minor leaguer and what I've heard is that Harper likes the guy and so management doesn't want to "upset" Harper by getting rid of Stubbs. It is so obvious to everyone except Harper and Thompson think that Stubbs sucks. It blows my mind that we have such a good switch-hitting back up catcher available in Marchan, but we stick with Stubbs and his wonderful 0.193 batting average. Please, please, please get rid of Stubbs!!
Our worst pitcher Walker is going to give up a lot of runs as always so to make things worse he puts a horrendous lineup in that can’t hit! No excuse for Topper and his poor management of this team! This is why Topper was passed over by the Yankees to be a manager for a reason! Phillies will not win a World Series as long as he is manager! Ohh Topper Walker is not fine! Topper not recognizing Walker as a liability tells you how delusional he is! Why would you give JT and Harper off on the same day! Why would you not pinch hit in the 9th ? Does he really think that 1 at bat is going to negate them getting rest ?
Yeah Topper makes no sense. When you have your worst pitcher on the mound, then you need your A-team in the lineup to offset it. It's not rocket science lol
Topper so you go to Atlanta with the momentum gone because a guy can’t pinch hit ,god you would have survived back in the day with double headers,the fans didn’t take the day off they paid good damn money to come to the game to see that in the ninth your a joke
Rob is set in his ways if he gives a guy the day off he sticks to it whether we win or we lose and he has to change his ways give the team best chance to win
Thomson knows more baseball than anyone in the comments.
They need to cut Walker. He was decent for a couple months last year, but that's been it.
No surprise but at least they won 3 of 4.
I'm sick of benching Wilson and letting other guys go up and whiff time and time and time again...
So we have the opportunity to tie the game and neither Harper not JT was used…. Does Rob just punt every single game when we are down?
He's less concerned about winning that single game as he is giving them a full day off. He said so as much, we've got a big lead and we've gotten the ship back on course so no reason to push it.

I'll take wins over spending investment money. Wasted money.
Phillies version of a “scheduled loss”…

This was so expected...they never win game 4s
put t j walker on waivers! and we let zack efflin go?
Happy they finally won a series again but ingame management is starting to be a massive issue….

Of course....Walker pitched, what else is new. I guess Thompson didn't want to win with that JV lineup!
Just horrendous management by Thomson....

Walker has been useless for the last year and a half. Ben is too sawft to tell it like it is. Postshow needed Ricky today.
I don't give a shit if they're on a rest day. These guys are paid millions of dollars to play a game. They can put a damn helmet on and bat once.
Exactly.
Phillies do the right thing like Houston did with their overpaid first baseman cut walker
Don't even like listening to him😡
Manager sucks,just gives up,have to pinch hit Harper,damn games mean something either for the division or best record,guy is useless

Now there’s a loss
