They aren't facing the Braves or Dodgers, it's the freaking Nats. Throw the ball over the damn plate and let your fielders make plays. Give credit to marte held it just one. He’s actually been pretty good this year considering he was a dumpster fire last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My anger was more towards Sanchez walking 3 guys and seemed to be nibbling all day driving up his pitch count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the same issues that cost them a ws, the nlcs last year and much of the year last year. They need more guys that can hit with RISP. I do wonder if the brewers make this hoskins available at the deadline if he’s not in consideration especially if Castellanos and Rojas continue to stink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Phillies eat humble pie and admit that it was a mistake to let Rhys go? I don't know if they would do that. Plus, you would have to trade Castellanos then put Harper back in right field. Would Bryce agree to that? Then Rhys could play 1st. Who the hell is gonna take on NC's contract? The Phillies would have to eat half the contract and probably throw in a player for that to happen. Another way would be to trade Schwarber and make Rhys the dh. While I think trading Schwarber is certainly doable, how would the clubhouse feel about that? Things to think about.

Another way would be to trade Schwarber and make Rhys the dh. While I think trading Schwarber is certainly doable, how would the clubhouse feel about that? Things to think about. I’m guessing it doesn’t happen but i do think it’s easier to convince the Phillies to let Bryce Harper play the outfield for 2.5 months rather than an entire season. Especially if Harper goes to them saying we need to bring him back. I think Harper would agree if it gave him a better shot to win a title right now in his prime. Your outfield is likely Harper, marsh and Castellanos. I’d move Castellanos all the way down to 9th in the lineup. Go schwarber, Turner, Harper, Hoskins, realmuto, Stott, Bohm, marsh, Castellanos. Don’t love Hoskins and realmuto as both righties back to back but that lineup is significantly better and gives Harper much more protection. Add on it’s just til the end of the season and then you are going after Soto and Harper likely goes back to first You’re likely gonna keep castellanos because nobody’s gonna want that contract. No one wanted it this past offseason according to Jayson stark and the Phillies weren’t willing to eat a chunk of that contract. Which means you are stuck with it for the next 2 years too. I do wonder if they designate him for assignment if he’s just this bad all year. They are screwed with that contract until it runs out. if Rojas continues to look this bad he’s getting sent down. So marsh becomes CF. Meaning still have a spot in LF. As we are stuck with Castellanos before any mention of trout, the issue with trout is he and Castellanos have contracts longer than 2 years. It basically takes out out of the Juan Soto sweepstakes next year. I think that’s a major reason why they won’t do it. They rather have Soto next offseason and a good portion of his contract in his prime then trout having 6 years left after this year and you hope he gives you 3-4 whereas Soto is 26 next year and if he gets a 10 year deal there’s a good chance he’s good for the majority of those 10 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
