Nationals vs. Phillies Game Highlights (5/18/24) | MLB Highlights 

Bob Carpenter is an absolute clown. Far and away the worst broadcaster in baseball

@@sawmill035 Is that one of the Nats MASN commentators? I was a Phillies fan growing up in Virginia, so I've unfortunately had the displeasure of watching a lot of MASN baseball, as the MLB subscription would be blacked out if the game was on in your area. Somehow the announcers of the usually-irrelevant Nats were worse than the Braves' and Mets' announcers.

@@a-train69420 Yes! He is the play by play guy for the Nats. I also am a huge Phillies fan who grew up in Virginia. I am not joking, we literally used to MUTE the television whenever the Phils played the Nats because he was so unbearable. Nationals could be a 110 loss team, and he'd talk about each of the players like they were all all stars and hall of gamers, and how the other team always got lucky if something good happened. It was infuriating to watch. To this day, any time the Phillies deliver a gut-wrenching loss to the Nats, my first action is to go back and watch the critical moment as called by Bob Carpenter. Hearing him cry never fails to cheer me up.

@@sawmill035 Hahah sounds like your household was a lot like mine. I think the 2 commentators my dad absolutely could not stand (and still can’t) across all sports are Joe Buck and the MASN crew (I guess Bob Carpenter especially, though I wouldn’t have recalled his name). I didn’t really understand why when I first started watching the Phillies as a kid (I was lucky that my first year really watching the Phils was ‘08 when I was 7), but as I’ve gotten older my dad’s disdain has surely been passed on to me. We wouldn’t watch on mute, but there would certainly be multiple moments every game where “ugh” would be said in disgust or my dad complaining how ridiculously biased and terrible the MASN guys were. Thank god I don’t ever have to hear them commentate a full game ever again thanks to streaming.

9:26 for those who want to hear it again ;)

Right, oh boy don't we have to look out for pride getting hold of us. What he displayed had nothing to do with competitiveness !

@@1PlainOneFacts! Like he litterly almost killed Schawber and then he got mad because it wasa hit by pitch!

Yess lol 😂 me too Phillies

I love this fucking too they have so much fun out on the field with each other

You are hot

Go Phils 🎉🎉🎉

I Couldn’t Hear The Bell! 🙁

I like thinking Roger Clemens is a Phillies Phan.

@@williammckay9229 same

@@williammckay9229was literally thinking the same thing watching that ball go over the fence

Not quite. I'd say more Greg Dobbs.

We need to come up with a catch phrase as good as "In case of emergency, use Stairs" then!

Give it time, you will hate him again.

With the games starting earlier the past couple years and the pitch clock now, games are over by 9:30, if not earlier. No real excuse to leave early anymore.

Why would anyone leave with this team.

Oh yeah baby

@@andrewptob the Schukyl is ALWAYS a reason! I know I spelled it wrong. My son and I were at the 1 o'clock game against the Blue Jays. We stayed until the bottom of the 8th. They were losing so we left. Took me over 3 hours to get back to Harrisburg! Its usually 2 or a little over to get home. And after driving 76 at least a hundred times in my life I will never understand why the traffic is stopped? No accidents, no merging. Going 60 and then......PARKING LOT and for no reason?

Put Harper in RF and Clemens at 1B.

Clemens is great off the bench, he gets exposed as a starter. His versatility makes him a great bench guy.

They lost the World Series bozo your teams ass cheek

One thing about steel , if you piss on it , it’ll rust .

Seriously!!!

Keep rolling!! They've got the bats and the chemistry. So staying humble is key.

You mean the arrogant shhhht talking fans? The players Are humble. Comment makes no sense otherwise

Always and also the Marlins announcers. Glad we have MLB TV, we can choose Phillies announcer all the time.

Don't beat yourself up. Its human nature. Have you ever been around a fan who just will never admit a game is lost? I have. And its incredibly annoying. Go Phils

I'm assuming you're talking about the 10th inning. It's because there's only 1 out, and walking Harper would load the bases. That means facing Alec Bohm, a guy with a .329 average, and who is hitting .500 with a 1.250 OPS with the bases loaded. You end up with the same result one way or another.

@@WannabeWRX Your only assuming, still with the bases loaded you have to play the infield in and get the runner on third , doesn’t have to be tagged he can be forced or you can turn a double play . If you force the runner at home the catcher can still turn the double play by getting the batter at first .

@@robertlosasso4222 And this is why you're commenting on RU-vid videos and not working in the MLB. First, Bohm has a batting avg of .500 with the *bases loaded.* Second, Bohm has only grounded into a double play less than 20% of the time there is an opportunity for one. Third, the only run that matters is Rojas. Fourth, Bohm leads the Entire MLB in Runs Batted In. and Fifth, Bohm's Ground Out/Fly Out Ration is .96, meaning he is more likely to fly out than ground out. What that says to managers is that Bohm is NOT likely to roll over a weak ground ball to begin a double play in that situation. That is why he's been hitting behind Harper ALL Season. The Professional Manager paid to do that job looked over those numbers and decided to risk taking on Harper because it was do or die anyhow. Walk Harper, Bohm beats you with a sac fly or a base hit. Game over.

@@WannabeWRX First let me tell you Mr. Statistics in that situation your not looking for a weak ground ball , with the infield in any ground ball will get the force at home and then with two outs you play your infield at normal depth and a fly ball is as worthless as your statistics.

@@robertlosasso4222 And, once again, random RU-vid commenter #848882 thinks he knows situational baseball better than the Professional Manager who's played baseball at the MLB level, studied baseball at the MLB level, paid to make the actual decisions at the MLB level, and has a full staff that works on the MLB level. You can't get an infield force at home or a GIDP if your pitcher doesn't induce balls that stay in the infield. And the groundouts that Finnegan induced were against the Phillies hitters at the bottom of ther order that tend to hit more ground balls. And after Clemons (who blasted his mistake into the stands), the only "groundball" hitter was Rojas, who became the Zombie runner in the 10th. And Finnegan was facing the top of the order - where the first four batters were flyball hitters. And every batter that Finnegan faced in the 10th *hit the ball well out of the infield.* Having scenarios means absolutely nothing if you don't understand the pieces that you have on the board. The Professional Manager made his decision based on the pieces he's been dealt. And Professional Manager also explained that he didn't want his pitcher that had just served up several fly balls to face the MLB RBI leader with one out and the bases loaded. It really becomes easy to tell that you hadn't known all of that going in, or you wouldn't care if you did. The Professional Baseball people don't have that luxury. But do go on about how the Professional Baseball Manager, who ran the "Walk Harper to Load the Bases" scenario in his mind, is some kind of fool for considering it a bad idea because the hitter behind Harper would most likely find a way to drive in Rojas, especially with only one out and the sacrifice fly against a flyball pitcher *still* on the table. Do increase your baseball knowledge if you intend to criticize decisions of Professional Baseball people as something other than as a fan of the game, please.

You’ll still see State Farm you bundling bundler. Maybe we can bundle Rueben and State Farm. Would be the most epic double play.

Had NOTHING to do with THIS game

...you're joking right? He's had 16 games in the majors with a 2.16 ERA. Legitimately one of the best relievers in the pen.

@@GatsbyCioffi 7.71 era vs the diamondbacks in the playoffs. 7.71 in 2.1 innings pitched. He was a big reason we blew it. 2 BB and 6 hits in 2.1 innings.

​@PhillyBirds215-fn6id Okay? He was a raw rookie pitching on the biggest stage of his life. He was pitching in low A just a couple months prior. The moment was too big for him then. I doubt it will be a second time around.

@@GatsbyCioffi exactly he aint ready. im not saying he never will be..... but for the time being hes a detriment and i dont wanna see him in a close situation. Hes been in blowout situations his whole time he has like 16 IP. He aint ready, do not put him in. let Soto or Alvarado get more burn.

@@GatsbyCioffi he has no control. literally hit a batter to put runners on first and second. then let up a first pitch hit to score their third. get your head out of your rear and watch the games and stop watching the numbers. The eye test will tell you what you need to know.

Johan rojas is a 23 year old. With incredible talent defensively. Give him time to develop offensively… the team can afford a weak bat at the bottom of the order with the talent this team has. He hasn’t even had 300 At bats in his career yet. Castellanos is definitely a problem rn, but he has no trade value. Just got to hope he breaks out of this slump.

What type of J.O. posts this after such a great win? What's their record you Rocket scientist? Your post Proves exactly why so many that's Philly fans All pro btchng and moaning

marsh can’t hit Lefties

@@sammodding4609 neither can Pache or Rojas
