I’m guessing it’s cause when the suspension occurs that some guys would be back before and some would want postseason to count to the total time missed and less the following season.Tbh I actually don’t think this kills them in the postseason if Romano stays being good. If you get to the deadline and you make a trade for a reliever that’s a left handed, I think you’re gonna be Ok. if Aaron Nola starts looking better than what he has, I’d bet he is going to be there fourth starter in the playoffs behind Wheeler, Luzardo and Sanchez. So that means Ranger Suarez is gonna get moved to the bullpen. At that point I’m guessing Andrew painter is also gonna be in the bullpen. So if you get that LHP RP acquisition then i still think the bullpen is going to be ok in the postseason if Romano pitches like he has since April 20th.That said the Phillies should have signed another high leverage reliever in FA. The fact that you were relying on Romano and Alvarado to just be good after an injury season and really down year was a mistake to begin with. You should’ve been happy with one if them was good. And if only one of them was, you were still in need of another high leverage arm. You were always high leverage arm short going into the season cause you really only had 4 and you were hoping Kerkering would make the jump and the other two were just pan out. there were guys available into February and they just didn’t want to do it. This goes all back onto Dombrowski just sitting there not making the move and just saying what if we need one at the deadline we do it. Meanwhile, you don’t have the prospect pool to keep giving away prospects. So you should’ve signed another one regardless. Also wasted $10 mil on Kepler who’s basically an older worse version of 2024 marsh
May 18, 20251 yr I’m guessing the guys at the deadline we hear about are Bautista, Fairbanks and finnegan. O’s make sense cause I’m guessing the Phillies would also be interested in Mullens even though he’s a LH hitter

May 19, 20251 yr This whole season is just another letdown in process..... they are going to get to the post season...... but they are not good enough to win it all from the top down......Ownership..... trusting management.Management.... for coaching and player evaluation.Coaching..... dont have to say much...Players..... $$ talks... right dudes ?
May 19, 20251 yr Phillies going to be a .5 game back going into a 4 game series with the Rockies. Imagine if they didn’t get swept by the Mets they’d be in 1st.
May 19, 20251 yr I’m down and bearish on the future of any prospect from the Phillies pipeline until someone proves I should think otherwise. Abel specifically wiped himself off the Phillies’ top prospect list last year. But this wasn’t your typical ordinary AAA pitching debut where a pitcher gets a little lucky and hitters aren’t familiar with him en route to a flukey quality first start.The velocity, the variation in velocity, movement, offspeed break, location….he looked really, really good. He may still crash and burn, but there aren’t many pitchers even throughout the majors with the raw talent to do some of that.

Even that might not be enough. Tbh i think Tait is going to be a really good catcher when he’s ready.
May 19, 20251 yr The Mets will soon crash back down to Earth - given up the fewest runs in the majors so far and their staff isn't nearly that good.

May 19, 20251 yr anthony on the ringer Philly special kind of alluded to what i said about them showcasing Abel
May 20, 20251 yr Freeland with a 9.77era at Coors Field and yet we can’t get anything going against him. This crap is so old man. Every damn time
May 20, 20251 yr Leave it to the Phillies to not be able to hit freeman who came into the game with a 6+ ERA
May 20, 20251 yr Probably a good time to tell people Rhys hoskins slashes are .291/.392/838 with 5 HRs and 25 RBI. Hitting .350 with RISP.On pace for 18 HRs and 90RBI
May 20, 20251 yr The Phillies are really going to drop one to the worst baseball team in modern day MLB history, aren’t they?
