It's such an incredibly streaky game, and it seems almost like the norm that guys get a big contract and then start playing like sh**, often because of the structure of baseball contracts. More than any other sport, you are usually paying for past performance. But guys are going to slump hard at certain points. You just gotta hope it evens out in the end. The real thing to me, though, is that these guys tend to get paid when they're past their athletic primes. But it's not their fault. It's how the league is designed. Yup, I get it. I was really just venting my frustration about their play. Its true its not their fault whether they're overpaid relative to current performance or not.

June 25, 20223 yr Another great effort by Nola. I feel bad for the dude. It's like the offense thinks they can take the night off when he's on the mound. Just a waste of another great pitching effort.

They’ll swing at it anyway. the offense has been dog crap since last Saturday besides Thursday night’s game. They scored over the last 6 games 2,3,0, 2, 6 and 0 runs. That’s an average of 2.2 runs and 4 of 6 they haven’t scored over 2 runs.
June 26, 20223 yr Just now, FranklinFldEBUpper said: If Harper is out for an extended time, it's over. If he’s out for like 2 months with a broken hand or thumb then he also should just have the TJ surgery at the same time considering he’s eventually going to need it.
June 26, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Dave Moss said: And chance he comes back before the end of the season? Takes about 6-8 weeks to heal from that injury but even if he does that quickly he’s not going to have full strength with it again until around 12-16 weeks. So looking like return around mid to late august
June 26, 20223 yr 11 minutes ago, iladelphxx said: I'd rather they shut him down and fix the elbow It also depends if the thumb needs surgery. If it does he could be out even longer.
June 26, 20223 yr At least we solved the closer problem. Too bad it took until Bryce getting hurt to solve it.
June 26, 20223 yr What is the expected recovery time for the elbow surgery he would need? If he has it in October, could he be a viable player next April or May? If so, you gotta hold off til then in the faint and probably unrealistic hope that they could make the postseason. If it’s a ten month time frame, well, yeah, maybe you’d be better off getting it done now. This really does suck. He’s really the only player on the team that is actually fun to watch.

I’d say hoskins had it in October and was back for the start of the season. However hoskins’ was his non throwing elbow. I’m thinking if Harper had it in July that he’d be ready for the start of the season. Tbh I’d see where the Phillies are after the next 16 games. They have: at SD, 3 vs. atlanta, 3 vs. St. Louis, 3 at nats, 3 at St. Louis and 2 at Toronto. If they fall apart then it’s better to just have the TJ surgery and have him ready by the start of next year. If they manage to be close like within 3-4 games of the wildcard or even better than that then i think you expect him back as after those 16 games. After the next 16 games, they have 3 at marlins, 3 vs. cubs, 3 vs. braves, 4 at pirates, 2 at Braves, 4 vs. nats and 3 vs. marlins. You could get hot during this 22 game stretch. But if they fall apart over the next 16 i think you just get the surgery and look forward to next year.
