May 29May 29 Not too confident with this upcoming series. No Sanchez and team not a ton of hitting lately. Hope to take one and have a winning roadtrip.

My question would be- how did having a stacked rotation work for the 2011 Phillies?

So their best move might just be to stack their rotation and hope to win 2-1.

Hit and runs, safety squeezes, even a suicide squeeze for a surprise here or there. Thats the only way I can see them winning anything. If its gonna be swing for the fences, then we all know how it will end.

I really just don’t think the market is going to have significant upgrades to the lineup and you are going to have to overpay for minimal upgrades. So the better path might be just stacking a rotation of skubal, Sanchez, wheeler and luzardo. Have painter be a BP arm and maybe wood too. That rotation and staff might be the best in baseball. Probably still lose due to the offense but i think it’s their only path to winning a WS with their offense
