Can't blame Nola for this loss. Striking out 16 times is embarrassing. And to think they've done it 5 times this year. Strike out Kevin Long, as in FIRE HIM. Estevez walked the lead-off batter in the bottom of the 9th, you could see the doom-n-gloom expression on his face. He knew right away that the momentum had changed & the Phils were going to lose.
Striking out 16 times. No plate discipline on this team of wild swingers. That's almost 2/3rds of their total available at-bats. That's why they lost to a better disciplined Arizona team in the playoffs last year, & I predict they will lose to them the same way if they meet up again. ( which is highly possible ).
Bryce Harper knows how to shorten his swing and slap the ball all over the field with a 2strike count since 2012. He perfected it in his 2015 MVP season. Bryce in his 13th MLB season he always been an elite hitter who needs to lead the Phillies to a World Series win!
This team is like a hit or miss tired of fans thinking we don’t believe it’s not are fault the team is inconsistent going in to red October we might lose homefield 🤦🏻♂️
This team HAS NO SHOT IN THE PLAYOFFS! They are too inconsistent...they strike out too much, TERRIBLE plate discipline, and they have Nola, who usually gives up 2 hrs per game! Count on it!
Stott is a great 2nd baseman but I have no confidence in him when he comes to bat. And it’s really getting annoying. If he doesn’t remember how to hit he’s going to be the odd man out when Aiden Miller is ready.
Nola did his part-did good. But the Brewers are playoff team and they lost the series, they choke when it matters. Is it the same as always with these phillies ?.
Steady diet of offspeed pitches and the Phillies lineup struggles but they better get used to it because that's all they're going to see from here on out especially playing good teams.. exact same thing happened to them last post season
You can't win games by striking out 32 times in 2 games stop swinging at everything and work the counts. Thomson must be afraid to open his mouth and speak up. If that was me I would not hesitate for 2 seconds and would care less about pissing someone off. Get your act together. Pitching Walker tomorrow night will be a nightmare I will not watch.
Nick C. is back to normal. Look at strike 1. Foul off the 2nd pitch for strike 2. Swing at a breaking ball down and away in the dirt for strike three. The whole line up swinging for the fences. If that continues, the Phils will not make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
Here we go again, this time with the Mets. One inning, no contact, three strikeouts. Got to do better especially in one of Rob's scheduled losses with Walker on the mound.
What this tells me is the NL Playoffs are wide open. Teams 1 thru 6 could represent the NL in the World Series. Teams that could give the Phillies trouble 1. Arizona 2. NY Mets 3. San Diego 4. LA Dodgers 5. Milwaukee
Phillies losing on Thursday. Any game Walker pitches in is going down as a loss. A 95 year old Grand Mother can get more balls over the plate than him.
This hitting coach is a joke,these guys have no discipline at the plate,you are facing quality pitching in the playoffs swinging for the fences is not going to work,haven’t you guys learned a damn thing
NLDS exit if they strikeout even half this much per game. Also, where is all the people saying how good Estevez is? He will cost us post season games, just like Kimbrel did.
@@markcar915 aside from walking runners home to lose the game on multiple occasions and occurrences like tonight where you let up a hit and then intentionally walk a batter and then proceed to load the bases to lose the game.
The Phillies can’t hit anything with men on base. They can’t put the ball in play, just a bunch of lazy pop outs. Castillanos can’t layoff anything low and away. With hitting like this the Phillies go nowhere in the playoffs.
They go know where in playoffs! If you look at their record and have not watched this team you might be impressed , but if you have watched them the last few years yoh know what they really are! Overrated, not going to World Series! Early playoff exit!
Agreed. Can't strike out 32 times in 2 games. Nola was excellent, except one mistake to Hoskins. Nola deserved better.
This felt like a playoff game for sure. Gotta win these
Why does this team always seem to be so undisciplined at the plate. Stott constantly drops to his knees when hitting, how is he so unbalanced?
Stott’s on the hot seat next year. If Aiden Miller keeps playing great in the minors next year, Stott might be gone in 2026.

It's feast or famine with this line-up.
Swinging away with RISP is what they do.
W L L W W L LL W .you can't even get a week of consistency out of them
Aaron Nola is one of the unluckiest pitchers in baseball right now. For sure the most underrated as well.

How tf do u strike out that much in 2 games? It’s like watching a bunch of grandmas with cataracts trying to hit.
1.3 billion dollar offense and is consistently putting garbage out there. Pathetic

And now we whiff another. It’s so tiring being a fan of Philadelphia sports teams 😭😭
What is wrong with the PHillies in continuing to pitch Walker - they want to lose
This team is going nowhere without some consistency on offense.
Going nowhere? They’re going to win the division and be one of the best teams in baseball. You’re an idiot.
Not estevez’s fault the offense can’t score
No but but his job in the 9th it to not let any runs and he cant get 2 outs. Its a tight rope walk with this guy almost every time.

Nola deserved a win. He was stellar.
Nick’s at bat with 2 men on was brutal! Come on boys, need some offense here!!!!

This was absolutely predicted
I can't remember a team striking out 16 times in 2 straight games. How is this possible?
This hitting coach is a joke,these guys have no discipline at the plate,you are facing quality pitching in the playoffs swinging for the fences is not going to work,haven’t you guys learned a damn thing
phillies are not ready for prime time
'NOT very much hard contact at all' ....7 words of no substance sentence 😂😂😂😂😂
Phillies do not hit the ball estevez hoping they let him walk. GM again did not address this hitting problem at trade dead line
These guys do have a batting coach, right?
NLDS exit if they strikeout even half this much per game.
Also, where is all the people saying how good Estevez is? He will cost us post season games, just like Kimbrel did.
It’s just one loss boys let’s win tomorrow🗣️🗣️🗣️
Estevez and Walker need to go..
Estevez has been good.

This same thing happens in the post season. They would do the same thing if it were the 7th game of the World Series. No smart, situational hitting.
The brewers lead the mlb in 2 out hits and runs I think they know how to just put the ball in play.
Everyone pray that Walker does stink up the joint. 🙏🏼
He stunk up the joint 😫
Same old phillies, they choke when its the moment of Truth ! Same phillies the last 2 Seasons.
to home run happy and swinging out of the zone.
Was Nola in a kitchen or something jfc

So bad it reminded me of the Falcons game.
