DrPhilly Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 4 hours ago, Joe Shades 73 said: Good start Hard to call it that but 1-2 avoids the early sweep and hole it would entail. Also, a nice clutch win in game 3 of the series. It is a mixed bag particularly given that the Phils were at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hputenis Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Some of these guys should be embarrassed by their walk-up songs. Realmuto and Bryson Stott especially. Just horrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsptroops Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 2 more baserunners picked off tonight. Is that not a reflection of the Manager? I'm sure he will have some sort of lame ass excuse for it. This same Manager who keeps trotting Brogdon out there. When does DD start feeling some heat? He's the one who basically brought the same team back after their epic NLCS choke job and who unnecessarily gave Nola that stupid ass contract. When does his seat start getting warm? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the one who basically brought the same team back after their epic NLCS choke job and who unnecessarily gave Nola that stupid ass contract. When does his seat start getting warm? The base running issue has been a problem since Gabe Kapler was the manager. The fact that we keep having it every single year is a problem. It feels like at least once or twice a week we do some dumb base running decision. And Castellanos already had one this week. my issue with their entire off-season was, they said they spent money. No you spent money on Nola. Which people didn’t want you necessarily to bring him back on that type of contract. I much prefer Montgomery or snell on 1 year deals then Nola at 7. Frankly, I didn’t love the Yankees giving Garrett Cole a 9 year contract when he was 29 and he was a better pitcher than Nola. And now he’s dealing with an elbow issue in year five of that contract and if it’s severe he’s going to opt into the contract and you’re stuck with him for four more years where he might never be the same after that injury. they essentially spent money to have the team that was the same team as last year that wasn’t good enough and not improved except for merrifield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should’ve started in triple A and got him some confidence.

Time to clean house thats scarier like that's alot of money being lost which you cant afford to do, so they have to do something or else or it's going to be curtains for the ownership.

But the other issue that’s not being discussed is they don’t have a cleanup hitter on this team. Jt Realmuto is not a cleanup hitter anymore. He’s having a solid season, but he’s not a cleanup hitter. Alec bohm is not a cleanup hitter. Castellanos should be a cleanup hitter but he’s not consistent enough to drive home runs and he doesn’t give quality at bats . So when you don’t have any protection behind him Teams are going to give him not good pitches to do anything with and face the guy behind him because they’re more comfortable getting that guy out. they know harper is eventually gonna start pressing and swinging at bad pitches. It’s why i think it’s pretty big if they go after after Juan Soto next offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
