Castellanos be the Ben Simmons of the team as he also lives in Ben’s former house

That is bad juju right there

My main reason to trade him is he sucks

I don’t think he sucks. He’s just not a centerfielder and he’s a platoon player. I’ve said this for a while now the problem with that trade was never going to be what Logan O’hoppe would become. Whether he was good or bad with the angels did not matter. As soon as you extended Jt Realmuto, the value of ohoppe was as a trade asset/chip. Because he was a top 60 mlb prospect that played catcher and was a hitting catcher you should’ve gotten way more than a guy you had to fix to make an everyday player. He had a ton of value at that time and you took less than what you should’ve when you compare top 75 prospects traded (at the time of the deal)

Not sure I take Nola out yet but who knows

Second time through the lineup teams are hitting .254 with a .791 OPS. It’s not good for him.

Yamamoto 36 pitches thru 3. On pace to pitch 108 pitch no hitter.

Nice

I know but still and just like that looks like a bad decision as I type this

The MLB has a comedy script with that interview and then that

Rangers stats are awful against the dodgers. So not surprising.

Great strategy.

That's what I was saying the other night. It wasn't about pitch count. It was they had seen him multiple times and even in the low 70s pitches, and even though he had retired a ton of them in a row, they couldn't have had the same velocity. I didn't want them seeing him another time. That's when I would have thrown Ranger in fresh. Every run was going to matter at that point. You know more than I do but that's how I look at things. Make moves in 0-0 games before the wheels come off.

The other issue is nola also tends to have implosion innings. The real issue is ranger’s numbers against the dodgers aren’t good. If you are going to be successful can’t be throwing 89-91 in the zone against them or expecting them to chase.

F Thompson, he’s a moron.

The difference is luzardo’s numbers on the year are actually better the third time thru the order than the second and the first time through the order.

Remember everyone on Phillies Twitter was celebrating marsh hitting .300 from May 1 onward and now he’s hitting .167 this series. Why I’d trade him when he has good value (after he returned played well so they can sucker someone) in the offseason and cash in on it.

The top three guys are blowing hard and you’re worried about Marsh? 🤣🤣🤣

The last 10 big losses to the Dodgers, D-backs, and Astros that nothing, Topper, has led the Phillies offense to 2 runs a game over those 10 games.

They will be lucky to get 2 runs today.

Its disgusting that he is still here. Being better than Girardi for this team is not a lifetime contract.

Wouldn't Ranger having bad numbers mean you don't go to him since Nola is pitching well? I know he has implosion innings as well... Just feel they should of let him go another

Only let nola do 2 innings lmfao. I hate that dude now

Yup. Cause those guys suck doesn’t mean he also doesn’t suck. he also been bad and they have him hitting 5th. Furthermore, you wanna blame something on Thomson with Bohm and Marsh not hitting well, realmuto and Kepler given the best at bats this series and some of the harder hit balls. So should be hitting 4 and 5. Marsh is better lower in the order based off year long stats

I mean....3rd or 4th is when he usually implodes

If Nola had better numbers against the dodgers I’d think about it. His numbers are also not good against them.

He deserves a turn

Tbh his 2 worse innings are 1st and 6th. Has a 7.93 ERA in the 1st and a 16.75 era in the 6th. That said the middle innings aren’t great though.

I don't have the numbers but when I've watched him he pitches a few innings well, falls apart, pitches well a few more.

Finally!
