And the first month of the season (for him as he was out the month of April) he hit in 315. In 2022 he started off slow. In 2021 he hit .280 the first week and .321 in April.

April 2, 20242 yr 2 more baserunners picked off tonight. Is that not a reflection of the Manager? I'm sure he will have some sort of lame ass excuse for it. This same Manager who keeps trotting Brogdon out there. When does DD start feeling some heat? He's the one who basically brought the same team back after their epic NLCS choke job and who unnecessarily gave Nola that stupid ass contract. When does his seat start getting warm?

He's the one who basically brought the same team back after their epic NLCS choke job and who unnecessarily gave Nola that stupid ass contract. When does his seat start getting warm? The base running issue has been a problem since Gabe Kapler was the manager. The fact that we keep having it every single year is a problem. It feels like at least once or twice a week we do some dumb base running decision. And Castellanos already had one this week. my issue with their entire off-season was, they said they spent money. No you spent money on Nola. Which people didn’t want you necessarily to bring him back on that type of contract. I much prefer Montgomery or snell on 1 year deals then Nola at 7. Frankly, I didn’t love the Yankees giving Garrett Cole a 9 year contract when he was 29 and he was a better pitcher than Nola. And now he’s dealing with an elbow issue in year five of that contract and if it’s severe he’s going to opt into the contract and you’re stuck with him for four more years where he might never be the same after that injury. they essentially spent money to have the team that was the same team as last year that wasn’t good enough and not improved except for merrifield.
April 2, 20242 yr Just checking in with all the Rojas fans. Will he get a hit this week? Will he be batting over .100 by June?

April 2, 20242 yr 23 minutes ago, Joe Shades 73 said: Harper looks old suddenly. Or his back is bad. Something is not right I think it’s probably his back. But the other issue that’s not being discussed is they don’t have a cleanup hitter on this team. Jt Realmuto is not a cleanup hitter anymore. He’s having a solid season, but he’s not a cleanup hitter. Alec bohm is not a cleanup hitter. Castellanos should be a cleanup hitter but he’s not consistent enough to drive home runs and he doesn’t give quality at bats . So when you don’t have any protection behind him Teams are going to give him not good pitches to do anything with and face the guy behind him because they’re more comfortable getting that guy out. they know harper is eventually gonna start pressing and swinging at bad pitches. It’s why i think it’s pretty big if they go after after Juan Soto next offseason

April 2, 20242 yr Brogdon DFA'd. While I'm glad he's gone, after hearing him speak last night, I kinda felt bad for him. He just seemed at a loss on what's causing his problems.

April 2, 20242 yr Throwing error by Turner. Ya know, since it's raining, it's understandable. But since it's Turner, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Sorry. That error just cost the Phillies a run.
April 2, 20242 yr Just now, vsptroops said: Looks like Bryce is heating up. Just hit homer #2 on the night. His back must be feeling better

April 3, 20242 yr Turnbull was solid, pitched a better game than Walker would. Pinto looked good too. Hopefully we can find a way to hit the ball now
April 3, 20242 yr Damn, Bryce just got robbed of extra bases. Hopefully he continues with his good swings.
