Why is Harrison on this team?
Why is Case on this team instead of Guthrie?
Why does Thomson continue to bat Schwarber 3rd? If he wants to maintain LRLR batting order. Why not lead off with Turner, then Stott, follower by Bohm, Schwarber, Castellanos, Marsh...!

Sosa needs to be playing every day, and he especially should not be sitting on the bench so that Harrison can start.

The purported argument in favor of Cave is that the team is too vulnerable to RH pitching, but at some point you have to forgot about matchups and just put in the guys mostly likely to hit.

Can't see Harrison being dumped unless they're looking to acquire someone by trade, because the candidates to get at-bats in his place are Clemens, Kingery.

Guthrie will be up soon, either way, because his is simply the only potential fringe major league at Triple-A right now. There is no help in this system.

Phillies should look into acquiring UT Matt Duffy from the Royals.

Sosa left yesterday with a back issue, so he may be not starting because of that

Rub some dirt on it and get out there.

Jokes aside, I don't even want to think about the lineup implications for the next week or so with no Sosa.

When is Turner going to light a fire under this team? Stop making foolish mistakes…Steal some bases..hit the ball hard the other way ….Start to live up to the press notices and the contract…Thus far,pretty unimpressed with him,batting average not withstanding.

Leadoff homerun? Stott. Boom.

Well, ok, then.

16 game hitting streak.

Nick. What are you swinging at dude.

Schwarber just walked on 4 pitches and you swing 1st pitch on a ball almost in the dirt?

Now you're 2-2 instead of 3-1.

Realmuto is terrible right now.

He has no idea how to swing the bat.

Bohm picks up JT. 3-0.
