These effers better win.

SOB!!!!!

Suárez injured by a hit ball

Ruiz in.

 

 

 

Bohms should be at first, harper in RF, castellanos on a bus out of town and sign a 3rd baseman

9 strikeouts in 4 innings. Gonna be another 18 strikeout game 

Sosa looked like a little leaguer at the plate tonight. Holy hell, swinging at everything away. Looked like NC.

He also nearly had a ball hit him in that Rockies game that he managed to dodge. That’s twice in like a week’s time where he had a ball like that

also turnbull finally looked good out of the pen. If Ranger is out for a period of time then you at least can throw him back into the rotation. 

Calling it a contusion. Hopefully not broken. I am guessing put him on 10 IL. He’ll miss two starts as long as it’s not broken. 

 

BRYCE 🤟

he’s having an MVP-esque season so far. Amazing he’s behind Ohtani and betts in the odds. Then again both of those guys having ridiculous seasons too. Betts .326/.419/.937 8HRs and 31 RBI. Ohtani .326/.393/1.000 14 HRs and 38 RBI

Last 6 appearances Dominguez has thrown 6 IP, 0 ERs, 3 hits and 1 walks 

That looked like a very solid inning for Seranthony based on Gamecast.  Was it as good as it appeared to be?.

You are changing three positions with that approach.  Why not simply sign a RF?  Or move Soto to RF?

Frankly, I think the off-season plan is to go hard after Juan Soto. That’s kind of always been the off-season in 2025 and rumored big fish the Phillies were after.  they’ve been tied to him. And his agent is Boris so he’s definitely going into FA. Added bonus the Yankees coming out earlier this month and saying they would reduce payroll next year tells me they kind of have a sense that Soto is going to test out free agency.
 

makes sense the Phillies are gonna go all in on him. Because you got to remember he’s gonna play outfield in 2025 but Kyle Schwarber is a free agent at the end of 2025. So I get the feeling that Soto is going to be your DH by 2026. That said that gets thrown out the window if someone like Kyle Tucker becomes available and the Phillies trade for him.  if the Phillies get to the deadline and they don’t make a Tucker move and they just make a trade for like Conforto (who’s on a expiring type kind of contract) then I think it’s all hands on deck to go get Soto.

Was very good. Like for him to it throw 19 pitches in an inning but he’s been much better as of late

A lot of foul balls. His strikes to pitches ratio was very good.  How was the movement of his pitches?

Team ERA is now 3.02.  4 more shutout innings brings them down to 3.00.

With that said, having Walker pitching isn’t ideal for that happening.

Movement was fine. The issue with Dominguez is usually about his control. When he doesn’t have it he tends to walk a lot of guys and get himself into trouble falling behind in counts to where he’s forced to throw over the heart of the plate. He had it today  

Some good news on Suárez. I’m guessing if he misses his next start they might retroactively put him on 10 day IL. With the trip to London he might only miss a start if they do that

For me the Soto and Tucker situations are independent of one another.  If they were able to trade for Tucker (at a reasonable price) then going into the offseason with both of them possible signings is not a bad situation to be in. Only one of the two would be signed, but having both as possibilities would be good

They aren’t going to be able to trade for Kyle Tucker without including two of these three prospects: Aiden Miller, Crawford and Abel. You’re gonna give up two of those three if you’re getting Kyle Tucker. Because he’s that good of a player. And he still has a year left on that contract. The reason why the Astros would do it now instead of next off-season or next year’s trade deadline is because you’re gonna get two shots with him at the postseason so it’s gonna maximize the value that he has left. If you’re giving up that type of prospects, i don’t see the Phillies just letting him walk away. The Phillies aren’t going to spend the money in Soto and Tucker. Especially when Stott, Bohm and Ranger have contracts coming up and really only schwarber and Castellanos coming off the books and needing to find JT’s replacement likely in FA sometime between next year and the start of 2027.

as much as it would be awesome for them to go get Juan Soto and Kyle Tucker, I don’t see them doing both. It’s going to be either or. Part of me thinks they rather just wait to get Soto  with how good they are. they don’t have to give up anything in their system to get him. they’re gonna give up draft picks because I’m guessing the Yankees will tender him. If you go after Tucker and Soto you are giving up prospects and picks that could replace those prospects and going into a ridiculous luxury tax. I don’t see them going after both and Tucker isn’t coming cheap from Houston

I don't agree.  The cost of a two month rental should be considerably less.
