I like rooker but he’s not my top guy for that reason. I still think Ian happ and arozerena are two guys I would look at. Happ you have under contract for a couple more years and been really good since May 21. Randy has been really good since June 1 and he has two more years of arbitration. Plus, I’ve seen him play in the playoff before. He’s had some good series in the playoffs (also a clunker)

July 13, 20242 yr Stott - I'm watching from afar so take this with a grain of salt. What I see is a guy with some grit and solid consistent skills though lacking top end natural athletic talent. A true Philly type guy who may not always be pretty but who gives his best night in an night out. He may struggle at the plate but he will give you a top level D at a minimum.

You can tell when he’s starting to get hot is when he giving you at bats where he works count and he’s not swinging at bad pitches. When he starts getting off of his game, it’s when you see him start extending for pitches and his swing becomes really long. He really needs to shorten his swing. I have no problem with him swinging at first pitch because he doesn’t do it very often and he gets himself behind in counts. But really what’s happening is he’s getting himself into these bad hitters count swinging then swinging at bad pitches trying to keep himself alive

That's enough for me even though he may never be able to work a count optimally.
July 13, 20242 yr I don't know if anyone else plays The Immacu Grid game but I managed to get a rarity score of 12 only using Phillies players

That's enough for me even though he may never be able to work a count optimally. I mean utley is such a high bar. It’s crazy to say, but Chase Utley is pretty underrated not by Phillies fans, but the general baseball fans. Because most fans will be like he’s not a Hall of Famer. But when you watch him that dude was a Hall of Fame second baseman and if he didn’t miss as much time as he did his numbers would look even better that said, I tend to believe Bryson Stott is going to be closer to what he was in 2023. I don’t believe all the people that were like oh he’s gonna win batting titles. I do think he’s likely for his career going to hit around 270 to 290 which is pretty good. I think the biggest problem that he has right now he’s trying to be a Homerun hitter. His swing is long. he is not a Homerun hitter. you can hit some home runs when you make contact, but really you are a singles and doubles guy. His approach should be the same as what Alec Bohm is. Because Alec doesn’t go up there looking to hit homer runs. He just goes up there looking to make good contact and that’s why he’s been successful as he is without hitting as many home runs.

July 13, 20242 yr JFC i don’t know wtf Bryson is swinging at there. That ball wasn’t close the entire way. Again he also shouldn’t be in the 5 hole. He’s not a big rbi drive in runs guy. not going to lie Marsh and Stott have been brutal at the plate today

Get his some rest I don’t know if we get Skenes for the first game of that series but i wouldn’t want him facing him right now. That said I will bet the Pirates go on a run. Don’t know if they’ll make it to the playoffs but they are much different team with Skenes and lately. They've been playing better baseball even in some of their losses. I feel like they’re gonna ride the wave of momentum brought by Skenes and be competitive down the stretch. They have a chance to be at .500 at the AS break
July 13, 20242 yr I don’t know if Alvarado has any options left but either they need to just sit him for like 2-3 weeks so he can get rest and maybe that fixes the problem. Or he needs to go back down to the minors and figure out his crap again. Because he has been awful lately.

He wants no part of this game anyway I think what Rob Thomson was trying to do was give him a low leverage situation so that he could get himself right. 7 run lead so no real pressure but just go out there and throw. get yourself back on track. And instead, he nearly imploded.
July 13, 20242 yr Congrats to the kid for winning in front of his home town and big thanks to the bats to help him get it
