What a night for Ranger. Complete game shutout. 

What a night indeed

 

👀

Turner just needs a triple for the cycle 

What do we do with Nick? Do we sit him for a few games and see if that changes anything? This guy is clueless at the plate and swings at everything no matter what 

Meanwhile Taryn over here fighting her alcoholism

Problem is you really don’t have anyone that can step in to RF and hit anyway. Merrifield has been bad as well. Crawford isn’t ready yet. The other young kids aren’t either. They should’ve just ate some money on a trade to get rid of him during the offseason. They didn’t want to eat any of the money. You could see Castellanos confidence not being there at the end of last year’s nlcs and he was never changing his approach.

It’s looks like it’s coming down to that and might just have to eat his contract. Maybe we see Harper back in RF at some point this season with Bohm at 1st and Sosa at 3rd 

Rojas with his best hit of the year without question. Might be a while till we see another one that nice but I’ll take it 

Would be nice if schwarber got hot earlier than June 

Soto efen sucks. Holy hell. Him and Seranthony can go ef themselves.

Not sure why he was still in the game as soon as the bases got loaded. He wasn’t locating and he gave up 3 consecutive singles 

Soto just made this a game

Honestly he’s just not very good. He doesn’t consistently have control. First two weeks he did. Now you see the last 3 appearances he hasn’t and struggled. His last 3 appearances he’s thrown 2 innings and given up 6 hits, 3ERs and 4 BB. 

Wow another Philadelphia collapse

Don't know if it's feasible but he needs to be sent down to the minors. Bring someone else up.

Yeah they on do it. But he and Dominguez have been this way since the start of last year. If we are at the end of May and it’s the same then at that point it’s not just one bad season for both. Thats who they are 

Well Soto tried to lose this one but managed to end that potential nightmare 

Castellanos is a complete waste, Rojas is a much better overall player

Rojas issue isn’t that he can’t be a major league hitter. The problem is he’s not ready to be a consistent major league hitter yet. He probably should have started the season in the minors to work out some of the stuff and get his confidence up.

Castellanos is what he is. It’s why I said last off-season. You should try to trade him while he’s coming off a decently good year. Even if you have to eat some money on the contract, it would still be worth it. Because you don’t wanna be stuck with him if he comes back the following year and is bad. Then you’re gonna get stuck with him for at least two more years at 40 million. And you were never getting him to not chase bad pitches. Turner had the same issue last year. But for most of his career, he was not nearly as bad as he was last year. It’s why you see so far this year he’s looked a hell of a lot better. This is more of what trea Turner is.

I'd rather see Nick Nelson back up at this point than Soto or Dominguez. They're both terrible.

Idk about that. Nelson has no future here and he is an unfixable problem and rare success at this level. I think you give Dominguez and Soto til beginning of June. If it’s the same issue then you likely have to acquire a BP arm and send them down to work crap out like they did with Alvarado that one year

You're probably right. They will need to do something and will likely be someone from outside the org. I also hope Alvarado holds up because we're really screwed if he goes down from overuse/injury. I felt like Dombrowski didn't do enough with the bullpen this past offseason. Luckily the starting rotation has been very good so far.

Nick Castellanos....

I was going to say they need to get a bat at the deadline. Because their offense is nowhere as consistent in where it needs to be right now. But if they get better, they don’t. But even if you wanted to go get a bat where are you gonna put them in the field. You’re either gonna take Rojas out who’s finally starting to look Like a major league hitter over the last couple games. Or are you gonna have to bench Castellanos. And I don’t see the Phillies benching him even though it would warrant it if we’re in freaking July and he still hitting this ****.

bullpen probably makes the most sense at that point
