Missing a couple players shouldn't result in them being this bad. Forgive me for not being more pleased with a 4-9 record. I mentioned above there’s some signs that aren’t good even with the optimism guys like stott, bohm and marsh aren’t hitting .400, .327 and .387 all year so even where optimism is that’s not going to hold up. to me the Phillies have to get this turned around over the next week and a half. Because if you go into that series against the Mariners and then have to go on the road for six games at houston and dodgers hovering around 8 games below .500 you potentially are in a world of trouble. Because that stretch is brutal even if the mariners, Astros and dodgers aren’t playing their best right now either. The Phillies are playing significantly worse than those 3 and showing little signs of breaking out of it right now. The 2022 Phillies were never more than 8 games below .500. I don’t think you can afford to get yourself into a 10-12 game below .500 hole with the scheduling change and the NL being better this year. Bryce harper coming back is going to help. We don’t know when exactly that is. That should help spark the offense especially RISP. My bigger concerns with the Phillies is their pitching. Because the rotation being down 2 guys is not good and who knows if painter returns this year with his elbow issue or if he comes back if he has an issue again. They’re averaging less the 5 innings per start so far. And the bullpen which is getting taxed early in the season and has given up 34 ERs, 52 hits and 34 walks in 46.2 innings. I have to imagine those numbers by the pen are close to being some of the worst in Phillies history to start a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many teams have a hoskins, harper, Andrew painter and ranger Suarez starting the year injured. That’s nearly half of your rotation, an mvp candidate and hoskins who’s still better than hall and Clemens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marte, kimbrel and soto have been miserable. When you give up 34 ERs, 34 walks and 52 hits in 46.2 innings that’s a dumpster fire. I think winning without Harper it’s only a matter of time until it catches up that you don’t have that type of player in the lineup. I think they were able to do it last year because they also got the fortuitousness schedule to play the Marlins, pirates and the nationals (3 of the worst teams in baseball) a combined 17 times from his injury until they got back Bryce harper. They were 15-2 in those games and games against all other teams were 17-19. also only a matter of time til Bailey falter turns back into a pumpkin. Last night he went 4.2 innings and gave up 5. Suarez and painter also allow strahm to be in the pen which the pen badly needs right now. Also need nola to not be as inconsistent as he has. Realmuto and schwarber started off slow last year too.

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 0-3 with RISP after 1 inning. Ugh cave batting anywhere but 9th is ridiculous. The fact he’s 7th in the lineup is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 One thing you can always count on is when the Phillies fall behind early by more than a couple of runs, they won’t hit for crap the rest of the game. No way they’ll ever mount any kind of a comeback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they’ll ever mount any kind of a comeback. This game was really lost in the first inning. They had momentum as runners were at first and second no outs and manage to not score a run. They had a chance to go out there and put runs on the board. Start feeling good about themselves and get it going. Instead, they did not and it just collapsed after that inning. And Cave is worse than Pache. cave has played way more games in the league to tell you he’s not going to be good. He hasn’t been good in 345 games and over 1000 ABs. So I look at pache who’s only played 115 games before this year. So at least there’s a potential he develops as he was once highly rated prospect. Cave sucks and shouldn’t be on the roster. They should have Guthrie on the roster over him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
