Honest question what does Kevin long get paid to do? Literally marsh looks atrocious. Stott looks atrocious. Realmuto looks atrocious. Rojas still has his elongated swing. Like i can coach Bryce, Turner, schwarber and Bohm at this point and have the same success.

Whoa whoa whoa… they won game 5 of the nlcs last year

i actually think it’s just an Arizona thing. I go to SD and LA they win when I’m there.

7-15

didn't think it could be that bad but thankfully it’s over now and plenty of time to turn things around 

crazy we are still 7.5 games on top of the East and only 0.5 away from the MLB best record

Tbh even if they turn it around the last 44 games would you feel confident going into the playoffs? I’m not. They faced 19 consecutive playoff teams. They went 6-13. And the one series they won was a dodgers team down betts, muncy, Yamamoto and some other players. Some of these games they just got blasted. We can boast they have a 37-29 record vs. teams over .500 but really they are 21-23 since June 1st against them. They also had 8 wins when the padres, Mets and cardinals were playing like crap in April and early May.

i don’t think we are as bad as we’ve looked since the A’s series. But i also don’t think we are anywhere close to the type of run we got on in April and most of May. I don’t think the SP was ever going to keep the pace they were on. Ranger, Nola and Sanchez were due for a regression 

imo the dbacks are a better constructed roster. They have the SP with Kelly and Rodriguez back. They have a solid bullpen (imo their weakness). Their lineup doesn’t have the brand names but they have depth and guys that fit their roles. And Carroll is begin to heat up after being bad most of the year. I’d be surprised (unless some major injuries hit) if they don’t get back to the nlcs. 

Obviously it doesn’t feel good but there is a long way to go. A lot can happen between now and October and if we somehow manage to get hot at the plate then there is at worst a puncher’s chance.

and they have great coaching staff, something the phillies never put stock in since charlie left.

I see that Taijuan Walker is starting tomorrow. I'm sure they'll steamroll the Marlins.

Curious to see how the Phillies finish the season these next 44 games. Part of me thinks they go on a run. The other part of me thinks they are just going to play around .500. I lean toward them going 22-22. Which means they finish 91-71. I’m guessing that means they are likely the 3 seed and facing whoever he 6 seed is. 

The Phold of 64.....

How about the Phail of 24 ?

If they are gonna keep losing can he at least change that horrible hair and ask Stott to get rid of his 1984 walk up song.

But if he changes his song how will we know we are A-O A-O A-ok 

Bohm, schwarber, casty and Rojas about the only ones consistent since then. And at some point likely casty is going into an cold spell

I say it each time he is up, his career as a starter isn’t going to be a o ok, especially with this song 😂

They have no good young talent other than Bohm

I find it funny on Twitter the amount of people that defend Brandon Marsh when he has the same three Fing problems he had with the Angels. One of the issues he had with the Angels was he struck out too much. This year as the season has gone on he has gotten significantly worse than what he was at the beginning of this year and last year. The last three months his strikeout percentage has been 37, 38 and 40. That is really bad. It was an issue that the Angels had with him and couldn’t fix.

The second problem he had with the Angels was he couldn’t hit left-handed pitching consistently. He still can’t hit left-handed pitching consistently. He has had multiple hitting coaches in four years to try to figure that out he still hasn’t.

Lastly, he was never as good as centerfielder defensively as it was led to believe when he was a prospect. When he got to the majors, he showed that he probably wasn’t gonna be a really good Defensive center. Is likely closer to being average. It’s why he’s much better in left field. So the three things that he had going against him with the angels he still Fing has after 2 years

I for one am happy that this will force major changes this offseason.  Time to move on from some of these guys.  
If someone offers a big package for Bryce, Trea, Schwarber, JT, Nola, or Ranger than I’m all for it.  They will never win with these guys.
