The starting rotation and bullpen have question marks. Wheeler is the known for the Phillies. You hope nola bounces back. However it’s not a given. He’s had some of the same issues building over the last couple years. Suarez had an excellent year last year. Hope he continues it but more film and scouting report on him. So he’s also going to need to make adjustments. Eflin is solid when he’s out there. However he’s unpredictable on how many starts you get out of him. Gibson is what he is. Showed when he came here his numbers with the rangers were fluky. Bullpen i think could be average. I think Dominguez being a legit closer would be huge for us. that said i see us winning 84-85 games. I think if nola returns to form and Suarez is as good as last year they’ll see a bigger jump. Frankly i think bohm and others are trade chips at the deadline for a top of the rotation starter

Frankly i think bohm and others are trade chips at the deadline for a top of the rotation starter I don’t disagree with anything you said. All I’m saying is that if a team with a payroll of over $200 million that is also paying the luxury tax goes 75-87 this season then they’re going to be a laughingstock. The only thing that could take some of the heat off is if the Mets are worse with their even more ridiculous payroll.

The only thing that could take some of the heat off is if the Mets are worse with their even more ridiculous payroll. I think 85-87 they are likely not cause with the new playoff system it likely means they’d get into the playoffs. The 6th team last year would’ve been the reds at 83-79. If they are the same record as last year or worse then I’d agree. I think 85-77 likely gets you into the postseason. If you get to the playoffs there’s less backlash. that said if we just learn to destroy the marlins then we’d be around 86-88 wins. We went 9-10 vs. Miami last year. If we go 13-6 last year we are right in that range
April 3, 20224 yr Hats off to moniak over the past couple weeks. kid looks confident and that swing looks nice.
April 3, 20224 yr Imagine somehow we got ramirez into this lineup lol. Feels like the Indians going to trade him cause they want a hometown discount

"The wind is blowing in from right field" Not expecting much from Moniak but man, if he can just be an above average CF to take make up for some of the corner outfielders defensive deficiencies, that would be win win in my book. Anything he would add with the bat would be gravy. I need to see it to believe it however.
April 4, 20224 yr I read that Bohm has like 3 hits all spring - meanwhile Stott has absolutely crushed it. Apparently Bohm is working on something with his swing - OK, how about we perfect it in the minors. That being said, with a young guy like Stott, there will be growing pains for him as well. Hard to tell a kid who's killed it all spring though that he isn't ready.

God knows the Phillies screwed up Kingery playing him at an unnatural position.

Good question - he's been playing there all spring but I don't know how his defense has been. Kinda wish they hadn't re-signed Didi - could have slid Stott in at SS and played Bohm at 3rd

April 6, 20224 yr Bohm's clock is ticking so loud I can hear it up here...... starting to think he will be gone before summer deadline

I’m guessing they took another X-ray or had another doctor look at it. I had a hairline fracture when i was 10 of my wrist. Missed on the initial X-ray. Went back to the doctor a week later and after they had another doctor look at it they saw it.
