Phillies lose because they used a position player to pitch in a tie game at home vs. the crappy White Sox 😂. How does Krapler have a job?

The weird thing with Gausman is he actually has a solid K/BB rate but guys just sit fastball and lay off the split change. That fastball has zero movement (I didn’t watch last night but just my general belief of his stuff)

Late last night going to bed, I was thinking about our pitching philosophy and it seems we only call three pitches. Fastball, secondary fastball (sinker, two seam, cutter), and then breaking pitch. Keuchel doesn’t do this and that makes sense: he’s 31 and a junk baller and signed in June. But even Teheran, who theoretically should be a junk baller, only throws four seam/two seam and slider. They don’t utilize his change or curve hardly ever and both are pretty solid. Same with Fried. His slider is good, but they never call it. Soroka never throws his change. It seems we never call change ups. Maybe it’s a league thing and I don’t notice it, but it seems our pitch selection is dumbed down. I might do more on this later.

Right you combine Gausman’s split as a change (and essentially sorta is anyways), that number is probably higher

He must have no confidence in his fastball to be throwing his splitter 52 times compared to his fastball 30 something times
