August 9, 20251 yr The issue with this comp is that victorino became an everyday player and not a platoon. He hit LHP and RHP. Marsh is still in his fifth season and can’t consistently hit LHP at a league avg level. Thru their first 324 games with the Phillies: Victorino:Vs. RHP: .285/.345/.399/.754Vs. LHP: .293/.360/.490/.850Marsh:Vs. RHP: .277/.357/.464/.821Vs. LHP: .214/.286/.331/.617In 5th season in MLB splits: Victorino (08):Vs. RHP: .298/.355/.407/.762Vs. LHP: .282/345/.537/.882Marsh (2025):Vs. LHP: .216/.298/.294/.592Vs. RHP: .294/.360/.468/.828

August 10, 20251 yr If Kepler keeps this up, he'll be hitting over .210 by the end August... look out
August 10, 20251 yr Just now, NothingClever said:If Kepler keeps this up, he'll be hitting over .210 by the end August... look outI give him credit. His last 5 at bats (going back to his final 2 last night), he’s hit the ball well and taking pitches.
August 10, 20251 yr Bryson Stott beginning to hit again. They changed where he keeps his bat. He’s hitting it off the bat with more exit velocity. I’m curious to see what his exit velocity has been since they made that change.

August 10, 20251 yr Huge to win the first two. First beating Kelly and degrom. Secondly have wheeler on the mound for a sweep at a place we lost 10 games in a row and hadn’t won at in over a decade before these last two.
August 10, 20251 yr 36 minutes ago, vsptroops said:Mets in a free fall Honestly, it’s why fans should’ve been somewhat concerned when the Phillies were like 26-29 after their hot start. Some teams are able to pull themselves out of it and get back to where they were. but sometimes it snowballs, then getd worse and you just can’t get out of it. Like last year the Phillies got themselves into his mediocrity phase. After London they went 51-51 to end the season. they look the same as they did pretty much after London in the nlds. Thankfully we got Duran who i kind of think gave them a boost of energy. Even bader has. He hasn’t hit great but he seems to always come up in a big spot and either get a hit or a walk.

Tbh the Phillies season is likely coming down to what the offense does in the playoffs and if Orion, strahm, banks and Robertson are going to be good enough to be the bridge to Duran
August 10, 20251 yr Phils 12-8 in 20 straight interleague games, which I think is a record (most interleague games played in a row)

Although their road games the rest of the year outside of the Nats and dbacks is pretty rough. 3 at reds, 4 at Nats, 3 at Mets, 3 at brewers, 3 at Miami, 3 at LA, 3 at dbacks. I’d say Miami is not hard but we tend to not play well down in Miami and marlins are playing well since beginning of July

Suspended him for the year or allow him to pitch post season.

Suspended him for the year or allow him to pitch post season.Idk i think mlb changes the rule cause some were suspended for 80 games late in the year and forced them to miss the postseason too. but it didn’t count towards the 80 games even though they were suspended. Meanwhile a guy could get suspended early be back and play in the playoffs. So they just avoided the whole issues by making it you aren’t eligible for the playoffs if you get suspended for performance enhancing drugs.Tbh I’m curious to see if the players union asks for that to be changed in the new cba
August 10, 20251 yr Dear God...... the stupid b.s. with Marsh The guy is in a grove but sit him down because it's a lefty...... ain't gonna ever figure it out by sitting. BP is nowhere near the same as live. But sit him down anyway and play another guy who CANT HIT EITHER..... b.s..... keep the hot player in the lineup.... and get a routine going...... players thrive on routines. This team has no standard because they keep trying to be the smartest in the room and play analytics...... Marsh LF Bader CF and Casty RF...... and be freaking done.This public service announcement is brought to you by old school baseball thinking by an old school guy.

He is in his 5th year as a mlb. The time to see if he can sink or swim vs LHP is now. He’s shown he can hit RHP and be effective. However since May 1 when he got called back up he’s seen just 17.9% of his total plate appearances against LHP. That would be a career low. I felt this way before, they basically aren’t going to allow him to see LHP consistently this year cause he’s been hitting so well vs. RHP. I’d bet a lot of money it comes down to they think if he struggles vs. LHP that it’ll bleed into his at bats against RHP and he’d go into another major slump. Like he was seeing 33% of his plate appearances vs. LHP in March and april (would’ve been on pace for career high) with 44% K rate. I guarantee they saw and figured when he got called back up he’s not seeing LHP anywhere close to that.Him and Stott are hot right now. I’m guessing neither playing today due to LHP in Corbin
