Philadelphia is having its worst sports day since 1983 with the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers all losing

Philadelphia fans were feeling it coming Thursday. The Phillies, fresh off a big win, had a chance to take the NLDS back to the City of Brotherly Love in a decisive Game 5. The Eagles had a chance to take the bad taste of the loss to the Broncos out of their mouths on a short week, and they were playing the Giants, a 1-4 team they had dominated for the better part of a decade. The Flyers had the opportunity to start their new season off on the right foot against the defending champion Panthers who were missing key players.

no. no. no. The Phillies, Eagles and Flyers all lost on the same day for only the second time ever According to Bob Vitrone Jr. The other time was October 16, 1983, almost 42 years ago. This was only the eighth time that the three franchises played on the same day.

Velez Loss 2-1 The Dodgers’ 11-run win was the most devastating of all, not just for the circumstances — the team’s season was over — but for the way it ended. Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering misplayed Andy Pages’ return, collected the ball, and instead of throwing to first to end the inning, he threw the ball away trying to force Hyeseong Kim to home plate with the bases loaded and two outs.

Close your eyes, Phillies fans.

You can also see catcher JT Realmuto pointing toward first base.

“I wouldn’t say the pressure got to me, I just thought it was a faster throw [Realmuto] From trying to cross it [first baseman Bryce Harper]. “Just a horse’s throw.” Kerkering said.

“It’s really bad right now, but hopefully we’ll keep pushing, and get over this hump,” Kerkering later said.

It leads to The offseason is full of big questions.

Things aren’t too bad for the Eagles, but they’re not great either, coming off a 34-17 loss, their second in five days after a 4-0 start. Philadelphia did not score any goals in the second half, and the offense was late for the second game in a row. But a defense that was without Jalen Carter (heel) and missing Quinion Mitchell (hamstring). During the match It was just as bad. Rookie quarterback Jackson Dart and rookie running back Cam Schatipo tore up the unit four days after New York had five turnovers in a loss to the Saints.

The Eagles’ dominance in the trenches was gone, the offense looked disjointed, and the defense was outmanned.

The Flyers lost 2-1, ruining Rick Tocchet’s coaching debut. Anton Lundell opened the scoring for Florida before Noah Keatts responded to tie the game late in the second half. But it ultimately proved to be nothing, as Brad Marchand scored the winning goal in the third period.

It will be a long and difficult season for the Phillies. The Eagles and Flyers hope these losses don’t herald long and difficult seasons as well.
