Re: The Phillies' 2023-2024 Offseason
Funny how fast people have turned on Thomson. He's a good manager. Would you want Girardi back? How about Kapler? Give me a break. They stopped hitting. That's why they lost. That's baseball.

Re: Phillies' 2023 NL Playoffs NLCS Game #3: 10/19/23 Phillies(2-0) @ Diamondbacks(0-2)- 5:07pm
Not sure how many caught this or how much it made a difference, but it was mentioned on the broadcast that the lighting in the dome with the roof on wasn't that good. Perhaps it would have helped to have batting practice on the field before the first game. Also, I have no problem with bringing in Ke...

Re: Phillies' 2023 GDT #145: 09/12/23 Braves(93-50) @ Phillies(79-64) - 6:40pm
The game was lost in the 9th. Realmuto has to bunt there. I like Topper a lot, but his answer just doesn't cut it. I'm sure JT has bunted in his career. Topper has to know that. Every player in the major leagues should know how to bunt. I know analytics says you don't give away outs because it might...

In an ideal world, I think they have to get rid of them both, even if Schwarber has been hot the last 30 games or so. Regardless, one of them has to go in the offseason. Are you resigning Hoskins in this scenario? Because you'd be looking at C Realmuto 1B Hoskins 2B Stott SS Turner 3B Bohm LF Marsh...

Re: 2023 Phillies Discussion
To be clear, I don't want Nola back next year under any deal. That said, it's depressing to see all the Twitterati who think handing $100M to Lorenzen is the answer for the rotation. Lorenzen is talented and can be very valuable for next year's, but he's very unlikely to be a workhorse starter, nor...

Re: 2023 Phillies Discussion
I take back every post from last winter in which I encouraged the Phillies to sign Rodon. Holy hell. Which is why it's best to develop your own pitching. Sadly, even though the Phils seem to be getting better at drafting, they still stink at development. Might be a good idea to hire someone away fr...

Schwarber has got be hurt. He was below average in the field last year, but serviceable. This year, he's awful, though the effort is there. He stole bases last year, but this year he's not. Sure it was the element of surprise in most cases, but he's not doing that this year. He's never going to be a...

I know Josh Harrison is at the end of his career, but someone tell me how Rudolfo Castro is an upgrade. Plus, if Topper felt compelled to play him he should have waited until tomorrow. Castro cannot hit right-handed pitching.

Re: 2023 MLB Trade Deadline rumors & discussion (Deadline: Aug. 1)
Whether or not the Phillies make the playoffs, I think the Lorenzen trade was necessary. Pitching has carried this team, but it's wearing thin and there are 9 tough weeks ahead. Lorenzen won't only be judged by his performance, but by the load it takes off others. Absolutely. It had to be a tough d...

Re: 2023 MLB Trade Deadline rumors & discussion (Deadline: Aug. 1)
Phils dealt Lee, their #5 prospect for Lorenzen, but Lee was kind of blocked at 2B and 3B for the Phils. This might look really bad in a few years, but I think this is a good deal for the Phils this year. He's a free agent, but maybe the Phils can resign him. Reportedly, the Tigers asked for Abel, L...
