April 30, 20251 yr I'm going to say something unpopular. This team will beat bad teams, and a few games against good ones like the Dodgers, but the manager isn't capable of winning a WS, and that roster isn't either. I'm glad when they win, but games like this cover the flaws. They literally need 3 or 4 relief pitchers. They will not do what I'm about to suggest considering how they have run it back two years in a row, but they need to knock it down and even trade Schwarber. They could get a haul for him and with the money he is going to command some other team is going to sign him and they'll get nothing. No way they will do it but that would help speed up what needs to happen. I'd dump Nola and Bohm as well.They will do the Sixers thing and run it until the wheels come off instead of getting ahead of it.
April 30, 20251 yr Kerkering stinks. He shouldn't be anywhere near the 9th inning in a closing situation. 7 blown saves so far this year for the Phils leading the majors. DD is a moron.

It will never happen but they aren't keeping him and it could help speed up the mini rebuild they need.
April 30, 20251 yr At this point I wouldn't care if they traded any of them - got guys out there making 25-30 mil a year and playing at a replacement player level.

He’s still elite and good contract. would likely get you an elite prospect and a good prospect back. I’d deal nola too if he started pitching better. You extend Ranger then your rotation is still really good with painter, Sanchez, luzardo and Ranger. Finding a fifth shouldn’t be hard as long as you don’t sign guys like Walker

April 30, 20251 yr I’d like to say i have been a proponent of schwarber batting 4th for years. For the exact reason we’ve seen with Stott and Turner and then him hitting a 3 run bomb

I tend to think Walker eventually goes to the pen once painter comes up. I actually think 6 man rotation makes sense with painter up so he’s basically only pitching once a week
