The Phillies will never win games, not with those shoes.

Walker is second on the Phillies in ER allowed at 19, Luzardo is at 20. That means over 2/5 of the runs the Phillies have allowed have been against the two of them. The difference of course is Luzardo has a 2.90 FIP and Walker at 7.40

Braves 9, Phillies 0. It's the first time since 1989 that the Phillies have lost three straight home games by six or more runs. The Phillies are 8-11.

The Mets on a 9-game losing streak and the Braves beat the Phillies 9-0.

The Phillies are playing bad. I'm not ready to discuss parsing blame yet though, just not. But if it doesn't get better, there will be plenty to go around.

Can they also block Phillies games from airing in the Greater Philadelphia Area

What if the Phillies are sacrificing themselves to the sports gods so the Flyers win?

BLOUSES!

FINAL: Braves 9, Phillies 0

Atlanta makes a STATEMENT in the series opener, teeing off on Taijuan Walker. I'm going LIVE over on Locked On Sports Atlanta with my guy Jake from Locked On Braves to break this one down.

Join us in the revelry, won't you?

Taijuan Walker is a short-term problem. Here's one that isn't going away:

The Phillies have faced 6 non-opener lefty starters (Latz, Gore, Griffin, Ray, Imanaga, Pérez). They've batted .145 (17-for-117) with 37 strikeouts against them. And they're about to be 0-6 in those games.

I think I've figured it out.

The Phillies just lack some "Big Dick Energy."

Michael Harris II hits his first home run as a father to make it 8-0 Braves over the Phillies

What if the Phillies win this game?

As others have pointed out, Taijuan Walker seems like a genuinely good dude. I would just prefer that he not pitch for the Phillies in any meaningful capacity anymore, thank you.

Dombrowski should not be back with the Phillies next year. This disaster is on him: Nola extension, letting Ranger walk, re-signing JT, running it back with Marsh, Bohm and Stott, paying Walker ... and on and on and on

The only thing worse than the Phillies performance tonight is Ben Davis in the booth

Dylan Moore getting ready in case this game gets even more out of hand.

So...yeah...Dylan Moore is with the Phillies.

I know there are far more important things going on, but indulge me.
What we’re seeing with the Phillies is what we’ve been seeing for several years … but now it’s happening from game 1 and not waiting for the post season. Should have been acknowledged and addressed off season. Walker must go!

He saw the Phillies play, and realized he'd be better off continuing to try to destroy America.

Going from Taryn Hatcher to Ben Davis is the biggest downgrade of all time. A microcosm of this Phillies’ season

Also shoutout to Phillies organist playing We Are the Champions down 9-0 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th.

Phillies drop the opener to Atlanta.

Didn't watch the Phillies. Went to eat sushi.

Nourished my mind and body.

Phillies’ starting pitching as impressive as ever. Are they ever getting value for their pitching staff investment.
