May 27, 20251 yr Mick Abel quietly had a very good start in AAA over the weekend.I'm not saying to put him in the MLB rotation, but I think it would be a mistake to not find a few more starts for him in the majors this year.I think Abel is starting to demonstrate staying power as a starting pitcher after we all were thinking he'd be a perfect bullpen transition. On the other side of that coin, Griff Mcgary is much older, still has great stuff, and has also recaptured some control and effectiveness. He's got closer level stuff and is an absolutely perfect bullpen project. Tightening him up into 1 inning will increase his effectiveness and give him a shorter path to helping out the big league club too.

Would definitely go again

Would definitely go againI liked Sacramento as a town. I was there with my brother, and we were celebrities on K Street on Friday night, because people just could not believe that someone would fly out to Sacramento. Over and over, someone came up to us with our Phillies jerseys on, and asked us what we thought of the city, if we really came out for a game, etc.

There’s an Eagles bar called the Limelight right behind K Street that gets on the local news channels for playoffs and this past Super Bowl. It’s a real fun crowd and a lot of eagles and Phillies fans always show up there.
May 28, 20251 yr They are on a roll, I have no doubt they will ride this wave into the playoffs and a world series victory
May 28, 20251 yr They have Ranger, Nola, Abel (not really), Painter (not really), and Walker (not really) competing for one spot in the October rotation.This is a problem of sorts. Like I said in earlier posts, it’s incredible depth for the regular season to ring up W’s and get you into the playoffs.Come October, 4 of those guys are going to be doing very little to help this team. They are not natural relievers. They almost certainly would not be high leverage guys and would only be middle relief depth for the pen.How can they leverage those guys into October help? It really has to be by trading them. Putting people in the bullpen that don’t belong there isn’t going to be a boost.
