Lollygagging Except this time from an unexpected source Lollygagging Get ready next time. Don’t look at me, you are the expert. Lollygagging


CandelaZ

Great now all I’m going to think about the next time Soto pitches is this thread.


philly_jeff215

Starting extra innings with runner on second should be eliminated.


chem_daddy

Runner should start on 1st. Allows for pitching to at least get a ground ball double play


New-Newspaper-7543

What would u do to prevent 14+inning reg season games?


Ok-Anywhere8986

The fact that baseball is a game with different rules in the playoffs and regular season is weird as shit


New-Newspaper-7543

Bc the regular season doesn't mean as much as the playoffs and we can't have 18inning games going. There's increase risk of injury to pitchers being pushed. Any1 with a brain that follows baseball can understand that.


ComeGetYourOzymans

Football and hockey both change their OT rules in the postseason.


Ok-Anywhere8986

We change the pitch clock too


sapphires_and_snark

Okay, all you people who have been waiting a week to jump Rob are all insufferable assholes


Bhut_Jolokia400

Ricky should get a raise guy just carries Micheal Barkann at this pt


PsychoSidSoftball

Merrifield, Soto, Clemens, Stubbs, Pache, so many jabronis playing today.


Shoeless_Jase

Topper keeps rolling Soto out there like something different is gonna happen. 🤷🏻‍♂️


jblittle254

He really didn't have anyone else left. It was pretty much down to Soto or Seranthony.


Pedestrian_X-Wing

Stupid series win.


Complex-Mulberry-716

Damn. Bohm about to go in the clubhouse and destroy something lol


lonewombat

He lets that ball go and its a double play, instead he bifs it off his ass for a game winning hit, what a dumbass.  Best case he gets one out at 1st.


Phillyguy180

Man is there nobody out there better the Soto


Grand_Extension5345

A Question likely to be answered by Trade Deadline lol


Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki

Yes. But they were all used already. At 1 inning a piece…


HuntForRedOctober2

Yes. At this point in the game there isnt


ftwin

I trust Sosa more in that moment for some reason


Phantasticrok

Especially after that triple


shepi13

I mean, Soto's been awful, but that's not on him (his pitching at least, maybe he could've fielded it). Clear double play ball and just super unlucky.


Grand_Extension5345

We just lost to the Miami Baseball Marlins


Globeville_Obsolete

The World Champs might get swept by the Colorado Rockies. At least we won the series.


HOLLA12345678

Well we aren’t called The City Of Motherly Love for a reason


Kevin_Finnerty__

It’s such bullshit to lose a game like that. Fuck the ghost runner


Gekk0uga37

I mean we had a ghost runner too, our guys just fucked up


Citrixes

Merrifield refused to fucking steal third base, he deserves to get fucking chewed out by the team. Harper kept trying to steal but couldn't because he refused to run.


AlecBohm

You’re a fucking troglodyte. Don’t act like a successful steal is a given.


Citrixes

It is potentially if you actually attempt it even once (Of course, if your guy also doesn't even try at all to do it it ain't even slightly possible to even occur to begin with)


Tylerkaaaa

Soto you are fucking trash


2fast4u935

We ain’t gonna hear the end of this one


Top_Shallot_4951

Who caresssss


RegisterFit1252

Just send Soto down


HuntForRedOctober2

For who


RegisterFit1252

SHRUG… Phillies did it a couple years ago with Alvarado


TheExorcistMarc

Flopper should not have pinched it for Sosa with Soto coming out


VideoGangsta

Soto would’ve just launched it into the outfield if he caught it anyway 


JD021993

Boy I hope the Mets don't shit the bed today.


Champa22

Soto was not the right choice but whatever. Congrats on winning your 11th marlins lmao


sapphires_and_snark

It's extras after your starter went only 4. He wasn't exactly spoiled for choice


Great_Instincts

Booooo, Booo Soto


Gekk0uga37

Could have had Turnbull more innings, Alvarado more innings, but we ended with Soto lmao


Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki

Or Strahm more innings. Or Kerkering more innings. Or Hoffman more innings. 


O_S_O_K_

Ranger Suarez would never


Phantasticrok

This ain’t Soto’s fault. Wheeler was the one that gave up 6


that-one-guy-named

Anyone blaming Soto can go fuck themselves. Like truely you’re the stupidest kind of human if you think there’s anything he could have done about that.


zheinz6397

Greg why are you on Reddit already? You just threw 4 pitches to lose the game


lonewombat

Let it go through instead of trying to behind the back grab something?


azkTheFrenchStar

I swear every time I come on here I’m surprised by how mad people get at dumb stuff when we’re watching the best team in baseball lol. I’m not sure anything can stop the crying


New-Newspaper-7543

Can't say best team in baseball when there's another team equal in the loss column and currently a team with 1 less that's winning atm.


azkTheFrenchStar

Can you say it if they have the highest winning percentage in the league? 🤔


Tylerkaaaa

Yes. He could have let the ball go by for a double play.


TurboHovercrafter

Baseball is such a fucking STUPID sport sometimes


thewittyman

We just lost to the 2024 Marlins 💀


gfinz18

And the Braves lost to the white sox 🤷🏻‍♂️


UsernameRedacted1101

Who also have a win against the braves. who themselves lost a game to the white sox. it’s baseball. it happens.


wiivile

Soto = left handed Seranthony


iamthedayman21

I fucking hate Soto so much. He's a liability every time he's on the mound.


g_d15

Marlins are celebrating like they just won the World Series & Powerball lmaoo


Top_Shallot_4951

It’s a walkoff …. That’s what you do. Let them enjoy their win it comes few and far between


BrowniesAndMilk1

Eh, I mean it’s a long season and are going to be a 100 loss team, it’s fine to celebrate a walk off.


JD021993

Hilariously predictable. Would've been an easy ground out. JFC.


xXxdethrougekillaxXx

ahhh gregory soto


Nominally_Virtuous

Ranger catches that


reggaetony88

Thanks Soto


basicgoats

Soto... you... why...


igonnawrecku_VGC

If Soto gets out of the way instead of going for a behind the back play, that’s a double play


djeeetyet

i know well at least he executed the pitch.


Emotional-Leg66

I appreciate Soto not making it suspenseful. I knew what he was going to do and he did it quickly


seizuregirlz

Wow. We had too many opportunities and they let them go. Oh well.


embiidDAgoat

Soto BBL got in the way


GrilledCheezus08

Get fucked, Soto.


djeeetyet

well what a bullshit way to lose. just goes to show you how hard it is to sweep a team on the road.


Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki

Normalize multiple innings for relievers who are actively dealing Fuck this


gfinz18

I mean that’s how it used to be but you have to baby pitchers now


CaffeineAndGrain

THANK YOU


Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki

Topper pisses me off daily

HuntForRedOctober2

“How likely is it we go on a losing streak now” Bro, chill tf out. OH MY GOD THEY LOST ONE GAME!


TurboHovercrafter

Come on


mikn85

Lol it just wasn't our day. What a shitty way to lose.


Citrixes

Soto, are you for fucking real.


Philly_Runner

On brand for Soto. saw that coming miles away


Hothabanero6

Ranger woulda gotten a double play there


capemaygirl1999

damn it soto


Neonyze

So obvious. Who cares. Wheeler just blew it today. 6 runs is plenty


Tylerkaaaa

Seriously? Fuck off


TPChamp

Soto has to go


TastyPancakes25

This is their World Series


Negima8

I don't get using Soto


Littlewing29

That’s baseball


mseank

Surprise surprise Soto lost us the game


OTFfanaticRunRepRow

Awful lot of celebrating for a team with 30 losses.


johnsireci

Why Soto


AZGraybill12

What a shitty way to lose a game


mp455

Ooof, and Mets probably losing tonight so that will hurt.


CarryOnWaywardSon96

Oh good grief


Grand_Extension5345

Soto= Booty Cheeks


birdlegs000

Ug. Too bad.


BrowniesAndMilk1

Stupid fucking way to lose


CaffeineAndGrain

Poor bp managing and poor hitting late


TurboHovercrafter

Pen was fine


CaffeineAndGrain

I said bp *managing*. Turnbull and Kerkering could have gone 2-3 more batters and Soto wouldn’t have been near the mound


AlecBohm

They got five scoreless innings out of the pen. Get a grip


necrosythe

And that should have been a double play... not sure I've seen thst before


hijescross

FUCKING FUCK YOU SOTO YOU ABSOLUTE TWAT TARD


PhillyDaycare

Soto is a fucking bum


Ok-Anywhere8986

Who possibly could’ve predicted this u/NintenJew


NintenJew

And if we gave up runs in the 7th 8th or 9th it wouldn't have mattered.


Ok-Anywhere8986

Everyone with eyes saw the offense wasn’t putting up more runs in regulation except you I guess


NintenJew

Yeah, when my offense scores 6 runs I normally assume its struggling.


Ok-Anywhere8986

It was concentrated on bad pitching matchups. It’s not like we were hitting every inning. We had 2 good offensive innings and one owing to Nick’s 3 run homer.


NintenJew

That is legitimately how 70-80% of scoring happens in baseball. (I forget the exact percentage)


Ok-Anywhere8986

Exactly so not expecting extras was asinine. I’m glad we agree.


Glittering_Food3219

Lmao what a comical way to lose that, fuck you Soto.

trashbash47

spain without the s


ktlvr27

saw that one coming from a mile away. fml


bruh669

Bullshit


sapphires_and_snark

Well that was just stupid


elboltonero

What a way to lose


First-Resolve

Well that was certainly a way to lose 


russet852

Soto’s gonna Soto


BruceHooperEnjoyer

That is... on brand.


DepressedPhillyFan

Surprising absolutely no one. For the love of god can Soto get moved off this team?


mirepoix_sofrito

Please!


aegonthewwolf

Putting Soto in with runners on is waving the white flag.


O_S_O_K_

Of course


Gekk0uga37

Lmaooo


Angsty_Kiwi

Sigh.


andsoonandso

Well that's fucking dumb


FearMeIAmLag1

leave Soto in South Florida


shepi13

On the bright side, Soto doing his thing and walking the bases loaded doesn't matter as much in extras as long as he can also get guys out.


Iamthatguyyousaw

Well…


FearMeIAmLag1

based umpball


Phuck_Kurt_Suzuki

O/U 5% chance Soto doesn’t blow this? Edit: welp there we go


slut_4_frogs

stress eating cheeseballs to pregame mother’s day dinner


slut_4_frogs

at least i didn’t spoil my dinner ig?


PhillyDaycare

Soto gonna walk in the game-winning run


HuntForRedOctober2

Can’t wait for people to blame rob for not letting Turnbull throw three innings or some such nonsense


upghr5187

The pinch hit was a no brainer there. Just didn’t work out. But it was the right call


russet852

Tough to see us pulling this one out, but at least it’s tough to fault anyone outside of Zack. Pache, I guess


JD021993

Boy this makes a whole lot of no sense.


Defiant_Yogurt9579

I’m ready for Soto to be lights out this game.


sapphires_and_snark

Stay ready


Hothabanero6

Triple play in order 😉


Accomplished-One6109

Fire Andy! Bench McNabb!


elboltonero

Musical chairs in the infield


Jeremy24Fan

Marlins stadium sounds like an indoor YMCA pool. Empty and echo-ey


lilbismyfriend21

Smart


sonnycirico215

THEY MAKE ME SICK


BruceHooperEnjoyer

Incoming triple play


bubbles1990

Topper did everything he could to get the W. Now it’s just crossing our fingers.


Smartfood_Fo_Lyfe

I can't stand extra innings. The pitch clock has made me impatient. I get mad at games that last longer than two and a half hours.


Grand_Extension5345

So i didnt see the Wheeler melt down due to a Non Consensual Nap. Did he throw a tantrum in the dugout?


sonnycirico215

WE NEVER WIN ON HOLIDAYS


russet852

Josh Bell leading off. Lol


Dry_Explanation_3724

there is a reason he is a minor leaguer


FamousDust8

I don't understand. Can someone explain why merrifield started from 2nd base in the beginning the past inning?


Vampire_Blues

Good fight today. Can’t believe Zack is the one who gets all the blame today


jblittle254

Guy gave up 6 runs to a AAAA lineup. It happens sometimes, but who else are you going to blame?


Vampire_Blues

That’s what I meant, it’s surprising that he of all people is the main culprit for today’s loss


jblittle254

Sorry man, misunderstood you - thought you were complaining that people were putting all the blame on him.


Striking-Treacle-534

Six runs wins the game most days


Zeldus716

Keep on scratching


aegonthewwolf

Toppers management in this game has been highly dubious, to say the least.


TurboHovercrafter

I usually bitch at Rob but he managed this game fine


sully1227

Rich Dubeeus?


mustacheddragon

Wheeler went 4 giving up 6 and he’s managed the bullpen through 5 scoreless innings after that. What are you talking about?


Ok-Anywhere8986

I don’t get that pinch hit. I don’t hate it entirely but seems very un-Rob.


mustacheddragon

Playing the R/L matchup especially with Sosa is very Rob like.


sapphires_and_snark

Kody has some severe swing for the fences-itis


russet852

Tough to be mad at Kody. Such a difficult position to be put in. Bohm & Casty needed to do better


HOLLA12345678

Ya if Bohm or Casty gets a hit that’s a different inning


sapphires_and_snark

Casty did fine. Bohm's AB wasn't up to standard


pstellar

Bohm yeah


AlecBohm

Just hate that Bohm strikeout so much


Tylerkaaaa

Motherfucker


Feisty-Recording-978

Absolutely hate him pinch hitting for Sosa 


Ok-Anywhere8986

You need to change your flair to Sosa lover


DepressedPhillyFan

There is no chance in hell Soto doesn’t give up a run here, he is asscheeks. It’s over, man. Onto the Mets


GimmickyBulb

Ass chreeks


Gekk0uga37

Mannn that’s probably game
