May 30May 30 Turner, Bohm, Stott, JT, Garcia all in the 200-220 range. As a team the Phils have the second lowest batting avg in MLB this year but somehow Kevin Long is untouchable. Not saying a hitting coach will magically fix the offense but at some point something has to change. Doesn't matter how good the rotation is if the offense is crap all year its just another wasted season and they'll be lucky to finish .500.

Not saying a hitting coach will magically fix the offense but at some point something has to change. Doesn't matter how good the rotation is if the offense is crap all year its just another wasted season and they'll be lucky to finish .500.frankly they have too many holes in the lineup to fill at the deadline. Garcia, Crawford and Bohm need to be replaced. At least with Stott and relamuto they are better defenders for their positions (Stott has been better since the end of april hitting so can live with him) so can have them bottom of the lineup. The issue is even if they got a RH OF bat they still need to fix 2 other positions in the lineup. Add on need turner to actually start playing better. They also need a better bench than what they got. It’s why i said might be better off just stacking their rotation and bullpen and just hoping to win that way. Getting just one bat (if even available) is likely not fixing the overwhelming issue and with how little production from RH OF in all of mlb it’s unlikely you get a guy like that or don’t severely overpay to do so. Long deserved to be fired after the Mets NLDS series. He deserved it after the dodgers loss last year. This year they’ve collectively gotten worse. He really should be gone for multiple years now. The fact he still has a job and it’s gotten this bad is on Dave and the FO for not doing what should’ve been done 2 years ago.

I don’t think Crawford has been giving you poor at bats every time. He’s just in a slump and needs to make an adjustment. These at bat are just horrific by Garcia. He’s swinging at things that aren’t even close to the zone and he’s just giving up on the bat after he gets behind. At this point you probably could just send somebody up from the minors and put them out there and get the same result.then when you add on when Crawford misjudged the ball in centerfield, Garcia bobbled the ball, which then allowed for the Dodgers to get their second run of the game. So not only he not hitting but his fielding also hurt you tonight
May 31May 31 Big W last night to ensure a winning road trip. Love to be greedy and get another one today but it looks like it will be a blowout for LA given the starting pitchers and the current Phillies hitting form.
May 31May 31 Good chance of a lockout next year for a bit, but one good thing i saw is that both sides agree about ending blackouts, so when baseball does come back no mor stupid local blackouts if you but extra innings or mlb.tv
