I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play in double a for 2-3 months next year. Not much time left in Double A this year. So he’s only going to get a taste of it. Only 12 games left this year. He’s gonna like be called up after it passes the service time requirement so they can keep him controllable for an extra season (believe you accrue a year if on the roster for 172 days during the season). I think his position ultimately depends on how Stott looks next year. It is likely 2B if Stott hits like he did this year. It would also likely mean Stott’s tenure as a Phillie is likely over at that point. If Stott is more like 2023 then it becomes more interesting. I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if they consider moving Bohm to 1b, Harper to OF and miller to 3rd if Stott is hitting well. If they let schwarber walk at the end of 2025 then Harper becomes DH and solves the issue as Bohm likely moves to 1B, miller to 3b, turner at SS and Stott at 2b.

First year back from the ACL he’s on pace to finish with 27 HRs and 82 RBI (based off games he’s sat he’s going to play around 129 games). His avg and OBP is down but i suspect he’s back closer to what he has been the second year back from his knee injury. Let it go man, it's only going to drive you crazy!

The thing that bothers me the most about it is the excuse that they made that first base would be less wear and tear on Bryce so he wouldn’t wear down over the course of season as opposed to OF and deteriorate as fast. That has proven to be untrue because he’s banged up now and one of his worst power stretches of his career. it was always a BS excuse for allowing him to walk. Just say harper wanted to play 1b and we didn’t think Rhys was worth bringing back

Harper want to play the field, he gets what he wants

Can’t fit miller, Bohm, Turner, Caba (eventually), Harper and Stott (if Stott isn’t like this next year). I doubt they move Turner to OF in his 30s when they said too much wear and tear for Harper who’s in his 30s. So either Bohm becomes DH and Harper stays at first, Stott is dealt (possible) or Harper goes to DH and Bohm to 1b so miller can play 3b.

September 3, 20242 yr If he’s not ready for the marlins series i wouldn’t be shocked if they retroactively put him on IL on 8/31
September 3, 20242 yr Nice to see schwarber leadoff with a HR. I get why Harper didn’t swing. It was just high but if they are gonna call that a strike then gonna have to swing
September 3, 20242 yr Phillips is as bad as Walker. Not sure why we went Phillips and not allard who had pitched well recently

September 3, 20242 yr They're really banking on the other 4 starters winning games, they have to score 10 runs with this cuck and the other one pitching
September 3, 20242 yr Just now, Blazehound said: Fing batting practice. We continue to piss these games away. Keep hearing how they will win division. That’s not the only goal

Allard had actually been good lately. I’m betting it’s an analytics thing which is dumb cause analytics isn’t going to help a pitcher that’s just not good
September 3, 20242 yr If you want to see a more entertaining game that won't raise your blood pressure as much, I suggest changing the channel to WVIA (if you're in the viewing area) ASAP.
September 3, 20242 yr JFC get this Fn guy out and fire the analytics idiot that thought he should start over Allard
