The book is out on these guys.  Just pitch around the zone and they can't help but chase every damn time.  No need to throw strikes.

So who realistically can be moved from this Phillies team?

Yup. They have to be the most undisciplined team at the plate. Idiots swing at everything

I asked a few days ago. Not sure what’s going on. He never updated us on the post game predictions after the Bucs game. 

I would think there's someone that has contact info that can reach him to make sure everything is well. @greend? @Iggles_Phan?

Unfortunately, I do not have any contact information on mattwill.   I hope and pray everything is ok.

Couple guys depending on what you are willing to take back. But schwarber is tradable as he has 1 year left on his deal. Don’t see them doing it. Castellanos after hitting .400 this series and this year after April probably has solid value. 2 years at $40 mil is not bad if he hits like he did this year.

Bohm is tradable with 2 years of arbitration left. Frankly i wouldn’t be shocked if he is. I don’t think it was just bad hitting why he got benched. There is a realm where they miss out on Soto that they use Bohm to trade for an OF then go sign bregman to play 3rd. He takes a lot of pitches and isn’t nearly chase rate bad. Problem is he’s 30 and not always healthy.

marsh has some value to a team due to multiple years of arbitration and 26. Even though can’t still hit lhp and strikes out a ton. In a better platoon role another team would take a chance 

id say stott but his year leaves a lot to be desired. Add on his exit velocity numbers were really bad. I think he’s here til miller is ready  

Haven’t heard anyone mention it but Ranger is tradable. He is entering the last year of arbitration. I think Sanchez taking his deal when he did wasn’t by accident. I think Ranger wants more than what the Phillies think he’s worth. I don’t think they deal him but i wouldn’t be entirely surprised.

Doesn't count.  I was 5 years old so I didn't really get to experience that. 

Eric Allen is a HOFr.  That’s what you need to know.

Marsh, Rojas, Hays, Stubbs easy peasy.

Trades? Realmuto, Schwarber, Bohm.

Keepers in my mind: Castellanos , Stott, Bohm (I think his wrist was/is worse than we were told).

And that fixes that. All our problems have been solved. 

PFT let out an article about Hurts and Sirianni having a constructive bye week. Probably a nothing burger, but hopefully it was:

"Your offense sucks Nick, it's over"

Big Dom

"There was a moment in the locker room where I'm sitting there crying,” Sydney Brown shared, reflecting on his torn ACL just a week after his 99-yard interception return touchdown. Overwhelmed, he found support from team advisor Dom DiSandro, who encouraged him to stay positive. Within 12 hours, Brown had a plan for his return. Now back at practice, Brown proudly says, "If I could go back in time... I’d tear the heck out of my ACL again” for the lessons it taught him. It's great to see him back, stronger and ready to make an impact.

Hopefully he reflected on improving his tackling.

Oh good, they are bummed. Maybe that's a typo and Clark meant to say the Phillies are bums?

 

 

Someone was there to capture some of the great moments that Sirianni and Hurts had over the bye week

There's a greater than 50% chance that Big Dom will be their interim head coach.  I will be fine with it because he most of his job will be threatening officials.

I doubt they’d fire Nick mid-season.  But if they did, interim would not be Dom.  It would probably be Moore

Streaky bums.  Turner, Schwarber, and Castellanos are all very streaky players -- which kills you in the playoffs because they're likely to cool off at the same time.  Harper used to be the most streaky when he was in Washington, but plays more consistently now.  

I wish they'd move on from Schwarber; I can't stand guys who strikeout 200 times per year because you know when the pressure ramps up they're even more likely to strikeout.

Yep, all good here. Storm went up North enough for us that it wasn’t anything too bad.
