April 2, 20223 yr https://www.sporcle.com/games/tk925/phillies_lineups Awesome game..... You have 20 minutes to enter in the last names of every Opening Day starter for the past 30 years I got every starting pitcher except 2 13 seasons I got every player. Surprisingly, 2018 was my worst year..... I thought focusing on the early seasons was a better strategy and that I could easily do the last ones, but I had some brain farts and there were some weird starters in the 2010's due to injuries

April 2, 20223 yr Scherzer is going to be 38 and has pitched a ton of innings over his career. I could see him having a Halladay-esque rapid decline

The starting rotation and bullpen have question marks. Wheeler is the known for the Phillies. You hope nola bounces back. However it’s not a given. He’s had some of the same issues building over the last couple years. Suarez had an excellent year last year. Hope he continues it but more film and scouting report on him. So he’s also going to need to make adjustments. Eflin is solid when he’s out there. However he’s unpredictable on how many starts you get out of him. Gibson is what he is. Showed when he came here his numbers with the rangers were fluky. Bullpen i think could be average. I think Dominguez being a legit closer would be huge for us. that said i see us winning 84-85 games. I think if nola returns to form and Suarez is as good as last year they’ll see a bigger jump. Frankly i think bohm and others are trade chips at the deadline for a top of the rotation starter

Frankly i think bohm and others are trade chips at the deadline for a top of the rotation starter I don’t disagree with anything you said. All I’m saying is that if a team with a payroll of over $200 million that is also paying the luxury tax goes 75-87 this season then they’re going to be a laughingstock. The only thing that could take some of the heat off is if the Mets are worse with their even more ridiculous payroll.

The only thing that could take some of the heat off is if the Mets are worse with their even more ridiculous payroll. I think 85-87 they are likely not cause with the new playoff system it likely means they’d get into the playoffs. The 6th team last year would’ve been the reds at 83-79. If they are the same record as last year or worse then I’d agree. I think 85-77 likely gets you into the postseason. If you get to the playoffs there’s less backlash. that said if we just learn to destroy the marlins then we’d be around 86-88 wins. We went 9-10 vs. Miami last year. If we go 13-6 last year we are right in that range
April 3, 20223 yr Hats off to moniak over the past couple weeks. kid looks confident and that swing looks nice.
April 3, 20223 yr Imagine somehow we got ramirez into this lineup lol. Feels like the Indians going to trade him cause they want a hometown discount

"The wind is blowing in from right field" Not expecting much from Moniak but man, if he can just be an above average CF to take make up for some of the corner outfielders defensive deficiencies, that would be win win in my book. Anything he would add with the bat would be gravy. I need to see it to believe it however.
April 4, 20223 yr I read that Bohm has like 3 hits all spring - meanwhile Stott has absolutely crushed it. Apparently Bohm is working on something with his swing - OK, how about we perfect it in the minors. That being said, with a young guy like Stott, there will be growing pains for him as well. Hard to tell a kid who's killed it all spring though that he isn't ready.

God knows the Phillies screwed up Kingery playing him at an unnatural position.

Good question - he's been playing there all spring but I don't know how his defense has been. Kinda wish they hadn't re-signed Didi - could have slid Stott in at SS and played Bohm at 3rd
