Nationals vs Phillies

Nationals vs Phillies played on March 30, 2026. Final score: Nationals 13 - Phillies 2. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

Top fan take from @dteberian: “Never, ever, EVER, have I seen such a complete failure of a performance. In all aspects, the Phillies SUCKED. Their pitching is awful, their defense was awful, and their offense was dead. Why is Otto Kemp in the MLB? For his batting? His awful defense? His looks? His starpower? Why? And don't think I didn't see Marvin Hudson. Mistakes happen, but why do they always happen whenever you're here? The Phillies manager was ejected in the first inning. THE FIRST INNING, AND WE HAVE NO MANAGER. In what world do you not cut some slack when the game has just started? Taijuan is awful, and it makes me so, so happy that we aren't paying him even a cent beyond his current contract. I wouldn't trust him to take the trash out, let alone pitch for a MLB team. Otto Kemp is such a bum, and I don't understand what kind of matchup Topper is looking at where a guy who never hits is better than a guy who hits less often against a pitcher of whatever handedness is used to justify Kemp's spot.”
