May 23, 20242 yr Soto is our worst pitcher. Dominguez has improved a little bit but Soto just continues to suck

May 23, 20242 yr Merrifield has been absolutely atrocious this year. That inning should’ve been a big inning except he can’t hit. I’m surprised he’s been this bad.

May 23, 20242 yr I was thinking about how this team stacks up against the 2011 team. Pitching wise, Halladay, Lee, Hamels, and Oswalt vs Wheeler, Nola, Suarez, and Sanchez. This is tough, but I'll lean ever so slightly to the 2011 staff. Offensively, both clubs were stacked. However, if I recall correctly, that 2011 club had a lot of offensive sputtering throughout the season. When I think of the 102 wins, I think of the starting pitching. This team offensively seems to be a little more balanced. Just look at the bench. The 2011 team had Michael Martinez, Ross Gload, and Wilson Valdez. This team has Turner go down, and they don't miss a beat with guys like Sosa and Clemens. Offensively, I give this team the edge. Hopefully they continue on this run. I mean, if they can win over 100 games AND get past the NLDS, that would make them the better team outright. This team is fun to watch and on a helluva run. Hopefully it ends in a parade down Broad Street in October/ November.

I had a drunk guy at a bar a couple weeks ago say the Phillies are winning too many games, and he would like to see them lose once in a while to some bad teams to build resilience or something. So last year, people complained that they lost to bad teams, and now at least one person is complaining that they are beating bad teams.
May 24, 20242 yr Clemens has been awesome but let's give some real love to Sosa who's been great during Turner's absence.

He's basically saying, stay humble. Don't get too confident because you might wind up losing when you NEED to win.

But saying we are winning too many games and should lose some games to bad teams, like we did last year, does not make sense.

As much as I like winning every game we play, none of this makes any difference if we go out and lose in the playoffs. The only thing I worry about is if they’re playing at this level and they have no shot at setting the wins record are they going to just coast the last month then have to turn that urgency back on. It’s a problem i think the dodgers and even Braves have had. That said losing the way we did to the dbacks i’d be surprised if this team isn’t completely focused throughout the playoffs. I think that loss taught them a valuable lesson. that said with how baseball makes the first wildcard the 4 seed and the central winner the 3, might be better off being the 2 seed. Cause the 1 seed is highly likely to play Atlanta in the nlds and the 2 seed is getting the NL central winner. Potentially as the one seed going through Atlanta and then dodgers. Whereas the the dodgers might get cubs/brewers then Phillies/braves
