Why did Luzardo pitch the 6th?

“We need something exciting to happen. There’s no crowd noise. You can’t blame them. There’s nothing to cheer about.” -John Kruk on the state of the Phillies

@blondederin Don’t forget—can’t run the bases.

Can’t hit, can’t pitch, can’t field. This team is actually really bad. Like worse than I thought.

Otto Kemp is a nice guy, not a major leaguer.

Tell me one thing the Phillies are doing well…I’ll wait. It seems like they’re actually getting worse. There is no excitement or urgency on this team.

As of 4:00 this afternoon, these are the temperatures I have to look forward to for my upcoming Spring Break trip. Any guesses as to where I might be going?

This Phillies team is lifeless and makes too many little league mistakes. I think it’s time to move on from Rob Thomson and get a new voice in the dugout. Perhaps, running it back was a bad idea.

@blondederin Unfortunately, that was the best play all night. Otherwise, the Phillies defense has been lackluster again.

Absolutely disgusting play

PUNCHED OUR TICKET. 👊

The Phillies run differential is -16 and the Braves are +46. If the Phillies don’t get things going soon, Atlanta could pull away in the NL East. I don’t want to hear “it’s early.” This has happened before.

@JohnKincade @rickybottalico The Phillies gave Bryce the manager he wanted, the hitting coach he wanted, and the players he wanted (JT, Turner, Stott, Schwarber…). No excuses why the team doesn’t have a championship.

Great job by @rickybottalico reacting to the lack of any desire by Rob Thomson to dare critique more ridiculous base running by Bryce Harper in his post game presser. Not to mention the Marsh debacle. It’s allowed to happen without recourse, over and over

@SportsRadioWIP @MrUram Maybe he should stop swinging at the first pitch or balls out of the zone.

Trea Turner says the Phillies need to “be more consistent and have more team at bats.” (@MrUram)

@PhilliesNation @TyDaubert …just like him getting thrown at at 2nd trying to stretch a single and getting caught off third base on a ground ball. Lead by example!

“Bad baseball” Here’s what Bryce Harper had to say about the Phillies’ missed opportunity in the eighth inning. (via @TyDaubert)

@Phillies I’m tired of hearing “it’s early.” This team is tough to watch.

FINAL: Diamondbacks 4, Phillies 3

@blondederin 1st & 3rd with no one out and they can’t score. Unbelievable!

Hellen Keller would be better on the base path than the Phillies have been this game.

@blondederin I’d rather start Wheeler at 50% than Walker any time.

We need Zack Wheeler back yesterday.

@Phillies Can we just end the Walker experiment?

Saturday at the Bank #RingTheBell

@PhilliesNation This team is extremely frustrating. It’s also too bad that the contributions of Marsh and Crawford are being overlooked among all the struggles.

Final.

@Cory_Nidoh @PhiladelphiaSN I’ll take whatever he’s got over what Walker is tossing every fifth day.

Asked Zack Wheeler how close he feels to rejoining the staff: “I’m still a little bit off, that’s why you take these starts so can tinker here and there but not too much … there’s nothing more I can do but get those reps in.” #Phillies
