$4.99 per month..... There's 2 games on it and one is tomorrow and another against the Cubs in July. 

And isn't there an AppleTV series too? 

Absolute horseshit

And I was wrong about that. Sorry.

 

If Eflin is out for a long period of time and it’s apparently his surgically repaired knee then the Phillies need to go out and get a starter. They don’t need a top end of the rotation guy just a 3-4 starter. I’d take a chance on German Marquez if the Rockies. He has upside to be a good no. 2. Been rather poor this year especially at home at coors but his stuff is still electric. I think you could get him cheap and have the Rockies pay for some of his salary. Chance new team that he can revert back to what he was in 2020 and 2021. 

Realistic Closer/Bullpen options:

Quote

Daniel Bard, Rockies

Bard is 37, but he's been ageless for the Rockies converting 14 of 16 save opportunities for Colorado. He has a 1.98 ERA in 27.1 innings this season and with an expiring contract, might be a relatively cheap deadline acquisition.

Gregory Soto, Tigers

He has 13 saves this season and a 2.88 ERA over 25 innings for the Tigers, but he may be a tad more pricy than Bard. Soto is 27 and will be arbitration eligible for the next few seasons, leading to free agency four years from now in 2026. He was an All-Star last year and the Tigers would likely ask for a relatively decent package as he'll have some suitors in July.

Joe Barlow, Rangers

Another relatively young ace reliever, Barlow is 26 and has one of the best sliders in baseball right now. He has a 3.09 ERA in Texas right now and is under team control for three seasons. 

David Bednar, Pirates

Bednar's 33.2 innings show he can be durable and pitch often. In that span, he's saved 11 games with a 1.34 ERA. With a season of team control ahead in 2023, the 27-year-old might get some serious interest at the trade deadline and could be pricy. 

Dany Jimenez, Athletics

According to The Athletic's Jim Bowen, the A's might be willing to part with their new closer for a position-playing prospect. Jimenez has closed out 11 of 13 games this season.

Jorge Lopez, Orioles

Lopez is wasting a breakout season with lowly Baltimore. In 34.1 innings, he has an ERA of 0.79 and 11 saves. He'll be under team control for two more seasons.

Mark Melancon, Diamondbacks

Here's a seasoned veteran who has saved 255 games over a solid career as a reliever. He has 11 of them this season with the non-contending D'backs. He's under contract next year and has a mutual option on 2024, and has an inflated ERA due to two bad outings over 22.1 innings.

Scott Barlow, Royals

He has a 1.55 ERA and eight saves for the Royals right now but has two more years of team control. He'll be moved for the right price later this summer.

Tanner Rainey, Nationals

We'll finish this esteemed list with a name known in the NL East, Washington's flame-throwing Rainey who has a 3.43 ERA and seven saves for the struggling Nats. He won't be a free agent until 2026 (thanks to some service time manipulation).

Are any of these guys injury-prone or generally ineffective? That's the guy for the Phils.

Me whenever the Phillies load the bases with no outs:

The real kicker this weekend was when they loaded the bases on three walks and then three guys in a row struck out.

:roll:

Yup. That to me was the worst of them. The guy was wild and then they start swinging at everything. Frankly with Harper out this lineup goes to crap. without harper on Friday night in the second game of the double header they likely lose. Next two games score 2 and 3 runs 

The next 24 before the all star break is going to tell a lot because our schedule has 16 of 24 against teams with winning records plus the marlins who we have issues with.

2 at texas

4 at padres 

3 vs. atlanta 

3 vs. St. Louis 

3 vs. nats

4 at St. Louis 

2 at toronto

3 at Miami 

If they can manage to for like 14-10 would be pretty significant. I’m not banking on that.

About four or five years ago, I went to a Reading Phillies-Trenton Thunder game in Trenton with my father. We had incredible seats (we had "connections"). We were literally in the second row, right behind the plate. I had never been that close to the action in my life. In the first row, there was a Yankees scout who was charting the game. Trenton was the Yankees AA affiliate. In the seats directly behind us sat two Phillies scouts who yapped back and forth for about two hours straight while they were doing their charting. It was impossible not to listen to their conversation. One of the scouts was an older guy. The other was younger. The older guy was sort of a know-it-all who was mentoring the younger guy. At some point they were discussing Phillies prospects. Pivetta's name came up. The older guy spoke in glowing terms about him, like he had the stuff to become a dominant starting pitcher. I was sort of excited to hear that, and it was something that I always reflected on when Pivetta was in the rotation. He was always a tease. You could see he had talent but he never really put it together. It was understandable that they finally gave up on him.

I'm not complaining about the decision to move on from him because he really wasn't doing it. But still, you had to think he might still put it together because he actually had the physical tools to be good. So I'm not really surprised.

Phillies are now #10 in the Power Rankings...

Too high.  But if they can win the two series coming up against the Padres and Braves….

This offense without Bryce is always horrific and we are about to be 0-3 vs. Texas unless we figure it out the next 3 innings

No chance 

The Phillies signing familia and knebel to a combine $16 mil is laughable. Both of these aholes are terrible. And familia everyone knew prior to FA.

I was on the fence about Knebel but hated the Familia signing. I knew this was the performance we were going to get from this stiff.
