FranklinFldEBUpper Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 About four or five years ago, I went to a Reading Phillies-Trenton Thunder game in Trenton with my father. We had incredible seats (we had "connections"). We were literally in the second row, right behind the plate. I had never been that close to the action in my life. In the first row, there was a Yankees scout who was charting the game. Trenton was the Yankees AA affiliate. In the seats directly behind us sat two Phillies scouts who yapped back and forth for about two hours straight while they were doing their charting. It was impossible not to listen to their conversation. One of the scouts was an older guy. The other was younger. The older guy was sort of a know-it-all who was mentoring the younger guy. At some point they were discussing Phillies prospects. Pivetta's name came up. The older guy spoke in glowing terms about him, like he had the stuff to become a dominant starting pitcher. I was sort of excited to hear that, and it was something that I always reflected on when Pivetta was in the rotation. He was always a tease. You could see he had talent but he never really put it together. It was understandable that they finally gave up on him. I'm not complaining about the decision to move on from him because he really wasn't doing it. But still, you had to think he might still put it together because he actually had the physical tools to be good. So I'm not really surprised.

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This offense without Bryce is always horrific and we are about to be 0-3 vs. Texas unless we figure it out the next 3 innings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The Phillies signing familia and knebel to a combine $16 mil is laughable. Both of these aholes are terrible. And familia everyone knew prior to FA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Phillies are back. Bad defense, no hitting and a bad bullpen. Add on losing to bad teams again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Here comes the losing streak followed by a bad stretch where they go something like 5-15 over a twenty game period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been the most consistent thing they’ve done over 3.5 years. Besides the Braves, the teams ahead of them in the wildcard have been consistent all year and playing well. They are not going to catch them going from one extreme to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Let’s see if the bullpen holds this lead and if we actually use Dominguez as the closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to comment on this yesterday, but it's just like...that's baseball. It's such an incredibly streaky game, and it seems almost like the norm that guys get a big contract and then start playing like sh**, often because of the structure of baseball contracts. More than any other sport, you are usually paying for past performance. But guys are going to slump hard at certain points. You just gotta hope it evens out in the end. The real thing to me, though, is that these guys tend to get paid when they're past their athletic primes. But it's not their fault. It's how the league is designed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
