The only thing I was wrong about was that he would try to come back after a game or two to give it a try. Nailed the 6 week part.

May 5, 20242 yr Realmuto’s agent: ”Hey guys. Sure…JT will sign this monster contract and you’ll continue to reap the rewards of the best defensive catcher in baseball. However……he has to walk out to the worst walk up song of all time, and he can never change it throughout the length of the contract.’ I hate his song soooooo much I find myself throwing soft objects at my tv.
May 5, 20242 yr Looks like the Phillies pitching moves into the Top 5 in MLB ERA after today's games, with only 4 AL teams ahead of them.

I agree though, stupid as hell. But, as we see with Castellanos, these guys on these big money contracts aren't going to be benched as long as they are healthy, regardless of performance. Sucks.

Either way they have a dependable 4th starter and their thinking that it's smart to move him to the pen is going to come back to bite them at some point.
May 5, 20242 yr Braves lose again today. Walker needs to pitch well today, could grab another game on the Braves

Moving him to the pen could cost them games for one. Also, if someone gets hurt as you mentioned pitchers are a delicate bunch. Will they be able to move him back and have him pick up where he left off? Bottom line is don't screw up a good thing.

I really think this is a Dombrowski decision. Word was going around Turnbull was gonna be in the rotation and then all of a sudden nope he’s in the pen. There’s no reason other than the injury history but you also have to go with your gut and if Turnbull has the confidence and wants the ball you give him the ball. You go with the hot player every time. I don’t think Topper wanted to move him based on his performance alone
