Re: Phillies' 2022 GDT #76: 06/29/22 Braves(43-32) @ Phillies(39-36) - 7:05pm

Is it me, or for the last decade+, the Braves have drafted and/or internationally signed impact position players & top of the rotation starters while the Phils seem to select utility infielders, low- leverage relievers and back of the rotation starters?

When they all played together in Reading, Hall was outperformed at the plate by both Bohm and Hasely, who were both about his age or slightly younger. Moniak & Cornelius Randolph were close behind him, but were 1-2 years younger as well. I'm hoping for the best. But I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

I'm thinking that Girardi must get this team to .500 by the AS break. If not, all bets are off and I think he'll be fired. That gives him 40-43 games to gain on the Mets and the WC leaders.

To be fair, in his 8-year career, Knebel's only topped 20 saves once. He had two strong seasons. The rest were just meh. He's not a traditional closer with a history of finishing games. Phils took a shot and hoped. Time to try Dominguez in that role I'd have no problem with that. But I'm not sure h...

Re: Phillies' 2022 GDT #49: 05/30/22 Giants(25-21) @ Phillies(21-27) - 4:05pm

I fail to understand the pitch sequence to Casali....you get him to bite on a slider out of the zone and then you throw 2 more sliders out of the zone he does not chase and then you come back with ANOTHER slider that hangs...I just dont get that It's Andrew Bellatti. A 30 year old reliever with jus...

17 strikeouts, 1 walk, 8 total runs on 6 homers. Kind of expresses the state of today's game and why so many just don't watch anymore.
