This is going to come down to what the hell the Phillies do the next 10 games. They they really just need to go 5-5. Really winning tomorrow would be big cause you then can go 4-5 against the Braves, jays and Braves. If the Phillies manage to go 3-7 or 2-8 and Chicago plays like they did against the Mets there’s some danger. There’s really no reason why the Phillies in this hunt getting the nats for 4 at the end of the month into September can’t go 10-10. If you just sweep the nats and beat the marlins tomorrow they only have to go 5-10 in the rest of the games. Heck if they take 2 of 3 from Chicago they only have to go 3-10 i say this as earlier in the day my dad casually explained the 1964 Phillies for the 100th time.
September 15, 20224 yr Milwaukee only has 19 games left Even if the Phillies finish 10-10 in their last 20 games, Milwaukee would have to go 15-4 to pass them 8/19 of those games are against 1st place teams
September 16, 20224 yr Whelp, Thor got us a few important wins down the stretch when we were super thin. Now I think I’ve seen enough. Thanks for the contributions, good luck with your next team next year.
September 16, 20224 yr I don’t care what happens against Toronto. I want to see them do something against the Braves.

September 16, 20224 yr Curious to see what he does against atlanta and Toronto as they are playoff caliber teams.

If you go back a few pages there were plenty of people screaming that the guy can't hit and it was a bad trade.... Not saying he is a .300 hitter by any stretch. But still have to give him a year or so before you can really say if the guy can play.

Imo a catching prospect that’s raking and can hit is rare and JT isn’t getting younger. I’d have understood it more if they had a prospect or drafted someone like Susac in the draft who is likely major league ready in 1-2 years. Not trading a top catching prospect and top 100 for a fixer upper. I want a proven hitter for that level of prospect and not one i have to hope to fix him. Also his first 20 games through September 8 he was hitting .230. He’s hot right now against the nats and marlins which has helped him. Since September 10 he’s hitting .526 (5 games). The 5 games vs. bats and marlins jumped him .070 in his average. Why i said interesting to see what he does vs atlanta and Toronto He’s added two bombs since this. Perspective O’hoppe has 11 in 27 with the angels minor league double A club. Marsh in 96 games in double A had 7.
September 17, 20224 yr Nice at bat by schwarber. Hopefully he’s getting hot. Back to back games with HR. Up until yesterday he had 4 since the start of august.
