These uniforms are confusing I couldn't tell who was the Phillies were and the Cardinals were when I just flipped it on lol. 

Weren't we done with Schwarber just a month ago? Like I said, baseball is the streakiest of sports, and its fans are often the silliest. Gotta play the long game.

Schwarber always mashes in June. If that’s the only month he does it, is that contract worth it for 1 month of the season where he plays up to the contract?

Let’s be honest april and May he wasn’t good unless he hit a homer. He was basically useless unless he did. He was hitting .185 and an OBP of .310 but had 11 homers. In June he had 12 homers and hit .272 and .385 obp. The homers were awesome but he actually was also getting on base and not just relying on homers. First two months he had 32 hits. 21 weren’t homers. Last month he had 28 hits. 16 weren’t homers. Also had 30 walks first 2 months. He had 19 in June. He was able to hit the homers cause he was taking walks and pitches and not just trying to hit homers. He got homers but he wasn’t just solely trying to do that 

I’m curious to see if he continues it cause if it reverts back to April and may it’s really not good enough for the Phillies especially with realmuto and Crapellanos hitting how he is 

This ump behind the plate is Fing garbage tonight.

Lot of season left. Baseball is a marathon. Proven Talented hitters usually rise to their average by the end of the season

I mean Schwarber’s career is all over the place tbh. There’s years like last year where he was great and others where he hit .211 and .188. For me the Phillies need him to stay hot til harper gets back. Hopefully he does. But to start july he’s 2-13 with 5 Ks. Honestly we really need realmuto and Crapellanos to get going. If they can start hitting then it doesn’t all fall on schwarber to just stay hot and hit  homers 

honestly we really need another starter. Cause who knows with eflin. Feels like this happens every year with him. And gibson since beginning of June has a 6.82 era.

Those are the two I’m really talking about. If they get hot Over the next month and bridge the gap to harper coming back we may actually be in decent shape. 
 

 Schwarber is what he is. He gets hot and is amazing for a while then cools off. An upgrade over what we had for sure but not gonna carry your team all year.

I actually think they need another starter cause gibson is leaking oil. He has a 6.82 era since beginning of June. Can’t trust eflin tbh. He has had this issue the past couple years and unreliable to make it through the rest of the year. Not sure who’s available. German Marquez is having a bad year pitching at home in Colorado. But his stuff is still nasty and he’s under contract for another year. I think if you get him out of Colorado it could turn him around. He has the stuff to be a top end of the rotation guy. And the Rockies might give him away for a lot less.

Freaking Simmons ....... Wrong thread 😋

Nice to take 2/3 from the cards…but I’m not sure how much longer they can hold it together.  Now down 2 starters…need to make a move ASAP

can’t believe I’d rather have odubel starting than moniak 

Went to the baseball hall of fame museum today. What a great place. It was amazing seeing and being around all of the baseball history. Had some good Phillies stuff including Howards and Blantons bats from the 08 series, Hamels baseball when he pitched that no hitter in 2015, the hat Lidge was wearing when he struck out Hinske, as well as a section for the Whiz Kids. Obviously got to see the HOF plaques of Halladay, Carlton, Ashburn, and Schmidt. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. 

 

I didn’t catch the game.  Why did they take out Sanchez early?

Schwarber with 2 more homers tonight. Wow.

Realmuto continuing his sucky ways.

Fans need to stop saying he’s the best catcher in baseball. He really hasn’t for a full season since 2019. Even last year there were about 3 catchers better than him. Particularly Perez who was fantastic.

This is the hottest I’ve ever seen a HR hitter.  I thought Rhys Hoskins debut was something.  

Schwarber is on pace for 16 homers in 19 games against the nats. Only soto and bell on Washington are on pace for more homers this year than Schwarber’s pace against the nats

 

You would have thought the Phillies were facing Nolan Ryan tonight instead of a guy that had an ERA over 4. They looked over matched and had zero plan at the plate. It seemed they were all going up there to just hack away and hope for the best. The 3,4, and 5 hitters had 9 K's between them.

Hall shouldn’t be hitting 3.  Schwarber should be hitting 4.  JT should be hitting either lead off or 2nd.  

Hall has been in the cleanup spot and Castellanos has been in the 3 spot. I can give Hall some slack since he is a rookie but Castellanos has been a huge disappointment. Not sure who I have less faith in, him or JT.

What’s Schwarber’s total of solo homers? It feels like he has a lot. I’m guessing the Phillies will say we want him leadoff cause we get the maximum at bats that way. But really with Harper out we need him batting behind guys so when he hits two homers it’s not just 1 run for each 

I’d frankly drop castellanos in the order. His OBP is not very good and he’s not hitting well enough to be that high. Our two best hitters right now are Rhys and schwarber. I probably go realmuto, hall, Rhys and schwarber to make it R, L, R, L in the lineup. I’d consider moving bohm up to 5th in the lineup as he had a 9 game hit streak until tonight. Then put didi behind him until castellanos starts hitting. Basically your lineup goes R, L, R, L, R, L, R and whoever you have at 8 and 9. 

Castellanos had a horrible June

hit .223 with 4 doubles and 1 home run
