July 17, 20224 yr Eflin is a big puss. Enough with this fragile bish. Need a starter before the deadline bigtime.

I think you likely would prefer to get one before the Braves series. that said Alec bohm is really turning into a mlb hitter. He’s starting to show more power lately. And he’s has multiple hitting streaks over the last 2 months.

July 17, 20224 yr I appreciate Ruben Amaro’s love of baseball and his outstanding baseball IQ. However, every time I hear his voice (rightly or wrongly) I’m reminded of the bad old days. It would be better for him to announce somewhere else.

He is the best analyst they have plus at least they made the playoffs when he was around
July 17, 20224 yr Kevin Stocker has been kind of fun to listen to on the radio feed this weekend. I liked Chad Durbin too.

July 17, 20224 yr Nice way to head into the break. Will be interesting to see what they do at the deadline

Huge sweep to go into the break. Big statement in my opinion. I think we are close to being a decent team with one more starter, one more solid bullpen piece and our hitters back healthy.
July 18, 20224 yr Phillies just picked CF Justin Crawford, son of Carl Crawford with their 1st round pick. Drafted out of high school I hope he he doesn't follow the Moniak path.

July 18, 20224 yr The Phillies just love picking toolsy high school kids. Unfortunately their track record is crap. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone to minor league games to watch their prospects and see former first round picks hitting .200. This is gonna be a long wait too.
July 18, 20224 yr On the other hand, sons of former major leaguers seem to do well lately: Bo Bichette (taken in the 2016 draft long after Moniak, and out of high school), Cal Quantrill (also 2016 draft after Moniak), Vlad Guerrero Jr, etc.

To be honest, I don't know anything about this kid other than what I posted. If it was me, I would just pick the college players. To me, that is the safer way to go, especially when player development has been a major problem for a decade. But, hopefully with Preston Mattingly in charge, things will get better. Gonna take a couple of years to find out though.
