The Cubs worry me.
Right now, though, the Lancaster Barnstormers would worry me.

[FolesMVP09]

Marsh should be a lot higher than 8th and Turner should be 9th or lower...

[FolesMVP09]

Too many pitches

[bigel57]

Worst staff in baseball

[FolesMVP09]

Phils need a 20 man bullpen

Kody going to get a lot of chances to get closer to his dad's 4,600+ Ks....

[FolesMVP09]

I rip on the fraud that is Trea Turner, but if the Phils starting pitching does not get a lot better, doesn't matter what Trea does

[Christopher]

Nola, Wheeler, Walker, Suarez need to do their jobs.

And DD didn't do his job when he entered the season with Falter, Plassmeyer, Painter (who he KNEW was not going to contribute in the first half) as the #5 and ONLY depth. Should have had at least two more veteran arms.

Imagine how much further we'd be sunk without first-month MVP Strahm.

[bigel57]

Turner and Schwarber make me nauseous

[Christopher]

Dansby Swanson + Nathan Eovaldi would have been a better spreading around of the money
