That deserved a slamming of the helmet right in front of the umpire. Second, I see Thomson just standing there with a blank look on his face. How did he not get rung up? Dude has no fire. The team has taken on his personality. That was basically a replay of Angel Hernandez calling a 3rd strike on Schwarber and Girardi just standing there with that same, stupid, checked out look. He got fired not too long after that.I’ve said it since they went to London they look like the Girardi led Phillies. They will show promise for 4-6 games. Then they’ll just be bad for a week. Then give you a glimpse for 2 maybe 3 and back to bad for a week. This is what they’ve basically done since London last year. They look like what they were when Girardi managed them. It’s been 120 games now (last 100 games were 52-48, playoffs 1-3 and this season 9) where they’ve basically played this way. They need something to jolt them. They won’t do it but frankly they should fire long or Thomson. I don’t see it unless the wheels fall off.
April 15, 20251 yr It is still early, but if you get close to the deadline and you’re at .500 or below, you really need to start thinking about trading guys and getting value for them. This is a long ways away but if it gets to that point then you basically would be this mediocre to below average team since London trip last year. So resetting yourself for the 2026 off-season is the smarter play as the windows is likely slammed shut on this core. I think you could still trade guys like Castellanos, Schwarber, and Nola at the deadline. get decent value for them. get money off the books so that you can go into next off-season with significantly more money to spend.If Castellanos keeps hitting the way he is he will have really good value especially one year left on his contract. If Nola finds himself and gets himself to be what he has been, he will have value and somebody will trade for him. You can survive trading him as long as you re-sign luzardo and with painter coming. It sucks to lose schwarber but based off him not extending this offseason that there’s a chance he leaves anyway. So might as well cash out on him

April 16, 20251 yr Is it impossible to ask our damn bullpen to not give up a run in one friggin game this year?
April 16, 20251 yr I was not as impressed with that win as the the TV bozos, forced ot listen to because MLB.tv radio audio not working

Really strahm and Kerkering are the two you can be confident in. Everyone else it’s a crapshoot

April 16, 20251 yr I don't find this team likeable for the most part, maybe i am just getting miserable as i get older

April 16, 20251 yr Lol if Bohm didn’t swing he likely got walkedAlso Marchan may have gotten a walk if he doesn’t swing the bat lol
April 16, 20251 yr 8 minutes ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said:JT didn’t F up RISPThey still suck and nola about to give up 4 more
