Yeah Ted Williams was ridiculous. I wish schwarber was just a 220-235 hitter. I’m not even asking for .250 but it’s amazing he’s .182 and hitting leadoff
July 28, 20232 yr I don't care about his flaws I love schwarber lol Edit.... Still effing hate turner

If you had stott and Harper or stott and bohm batting 1-2 and get on so that at 3 you would have Schwarber coming up he potentially has guys on base when he hit a home run or is just an out. Him batting lead off paid off there because somebody got on before him. We haven’t had many 2-3 run homers this year. With how stott and harper hit and get on base have more chance for it with schwarber hitting 3rd

How comes Thompson can't?

He’s had 27 homers. 19 are solo. I don’t think he wants to rock the boat with schwarber and Turner by moving them into different spots. The Phillies record with Schwarber as the lead off is really good. However, I think if you put a Bryce Harper at the lead off spot their record will probably look really good. At this point stott has earned being moved up to the top of the lineup.

Lol I've only ever watch them piss away bases loaded at an alarming rate It’s skewed cause nats 19 run game raises it .026 (.285 since that game) and they do it for 2-3 games then horrible for 4-5 games. This month 9-16 1-8 2-6 5-12 3-13 2-6 1-4 0-4 1-7 4-13 5-12 2-10 1-8 0-3 1-6 0-3 4-11 2-5 4-7 4-9 2-7 (tonight) previous 4 games has been their best streak this month. also only bohm, marsh and castellanos are hitting over .250 with RISP. Everyone else is below.

I had a feeling they might be skewed a bit, I've been watching pretty much every game and it's been mostly ugly.

The last 4 games they’ve been better. Although against cleveland almost all their RISP hits came in the 10th. Was encouraging the last two games vs. the orioles but so far tonight 2-7 and one of the hits didn’t even get a run home.

I wish they would swing on first pitch more, they swing at garbage right after the first pitch down the middle anyways. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Am I wrong in thinking that? sometimes that’s what you want to do. Sometimes that’s the best pitch you are going to see. Like Turner, his best pitch to hit was the very first pitch. The bigger issue is they are swinging the third highest rate at balls out of the zone. That means the pitcher doesn’t really have to just give you good pitches to hit and you aren’t making him work because he knows you’re going to chase. This is a problem for everybody on this team except for Bryson Stott, bohm and harper for instance

July 29, 20232 yr 7 minutes ago, Bwestbrook36 said: @e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! There we go just gave the numbers with bases loaded 118! Yuk! Marsh at bat illustrates the larger problem again. First pitch right at the corner of the zone. Probably should’ve been a ball. Second pitch right down Broadway and he looks at it and didn’t swing. Last pitch not in the zone and he chased it. So you’re not really following the pitch when determining your swing. You’re swinging prior to the pitch because you made your mind up you are swinging regardless cause you are down 0-2
