July 14, 20242 yr How does Turner’s current streak compare historically with other Phillie torrid streaks?
July 14, 20242 yr 3 hours ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: 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. Yea Ranger and Alvarado need to just kick back and get away from the game for a little bit. Topper seems to be of the mindset that people get right by keeping at it. I get that he wants to give them something positive to build on before the rest. Sometimes that’s true, sometimes you need a rest.

Sometimes that’s true, sometimes you need a rest. Don’t get me wrong with Alvarado. I thought the perfect opportunity to get him right was today. You’re up 11 to 4 so there’s no pressure. it’s not a high leverage situation. You could just throw strikes and work on your stuff and get your yourself right. Yet Alvarado couldn’t do that and nearly got them into a close game as they had their best player at bat with the bases loaded and it was only a six run game.
July 14, 20242 yr What would it take to swing a trade with the Royals swapping 1st round picks so the Phils can draft Chase Burns?

Any reason they can’t do it NBA style and trade for him (or anyone else) right after the draft?

The only picks that can be traded are the Competitive Balance picks and they can only be traded by the team who owns them and it has to be for a player/a and not for cash. These picks are awarded to the bottom 10 teams in revenue and there are 2 sets, one after the First Round and the other after the Second. As far as trading recently drafted players, the earliest they can be traded is after the World Series the year they were drafted. It used to be an entire year. You can name them as a Player to be Named Later. Ironically, the first player to be traded like this and prompted the rule change was Trea Turner in 2015 https://www.mlb.com/news/trea-turner-nationals-padres-trade-revisited
July 14, 20242 yr Any thoughts on Jack Leiter within the Rangers organization? He pitched at my HS and his team broke our wins record, so I watched his career with great interest. He had a fantastic combination of pure stuff and pinpoint control…#2 overall pick…had one rough year and a brutal MLB debut. Would be nice to see him still make it, although he has fallen off the top 100 I believe. Probably still a better shot than someone like Abel at this point.

I was interested in Butns because the scouting reports indicate that for his drafting team he could actually be a valuable bullpen asset this season. His long term trajectory is as a starter, but the report definitely felt he will have this season value as a reliever
July 14, 20242 yr the Phillies continue to pitch to rooker when he’s about the only A’s player really doing serious damage in this series is a choice.
July 14, 20242 yr 1 minute ago, Joe Shades 73 said: Guys like Mercado and Philips are not major league quality pitchers Let’s not forget the reason why they’re here
July 14, 20242 yr 3 minutes ago, Joe Shades 73 said: Guys like Mercado and Philips are not major league quality pitchers Probably true. However, the Phillies with first base open should never be pitching to rooker because he’s absolutely destroying them. He is 6-11 for the series with two home runs. Make one of the other 8 Oakland A’s beat you as majority aren’t good
July 14, 20242 yr Phillies score 11 runs yesterday and so far looking like they couldn’t hit a ball off a t ball stand today.
