OT: 2018 Phillies

[JXC]

He was 26 for 29 last season, before he blew the save they said he had 21 straight saves. His last blown save was June 21st.

I was going to get by with only feelz and no facts.

Actually missing the Phils tonight

 

[Beef Invictus]

He's responsible for Embiid missing game one.

@Hollywood Couturier

I know it was you. You broke my heart.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

A new hitting drill that phillies hitting coach is doing with Crawford is helping out big time.

He is taking a screen and putting it in the middle of home plate.

When hitting, it forces crawford to keep his hand's litterrally on his chest and stomach as he swings as he does it, the bat will come through and hit the ball. If his hands come off his body the bat will hit the screen.

This hopefully will be an every day thing and he gets muscle memory on where to hit.

This should help him create faster swing and get to balls faster with pop.

Cano does this everyday,

the best ever to play the game Bonds did this.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Cousins is destroying balls in Triple A, He just hit another to give pigs 7-3 lead.

He needs to be with phillies.

 

[FLYguy3911]

JP is hitting the shit out of the ball. He's doing this while getting behind in the count almost every AB. Wait until he starts actually getting in hitters counts.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

JP is hitting the **** out of the ball. He's doing this while getting behind in the count almost every AB. Wait until he starts actually getting in hitters counts.

Word on the street is he's been working on his swing, more Cano-esque.

Edit, found this;

Bonds is not the best to ever play the game my friend.

Yeah. I read that the other day.

Still think he's a hair too far off the plate and he'll get pounded away very soon, but so far so good.

I always kind of chuckled when people said he didn't have power. He hit 8 homeruns in the Florida State League as a 19 year old in ~250 ABs and last year he hit 13 over a 2 month span in the International League. He's got a lot of moving parts in his swing and his mechanics get out of whack too often and that has given him problems the last 2 years, but he has enough bat speed to have about league average power. That and ML balls are crazy.

If you noticed the ball he hit tonight, his swing is different. He is quicker

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I meant it in terms swinging. He used a cage at home plate while hitting.

His swing was the fastest,

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I do love how the Phillies are young, but still have the offensive pop that they need.

He needs to be with phillies.

Cozens needs a full year in AAA, don't get carried away with SSS, he has a lot of flaws in his swing he needs to work on, and the Phillies are struggling to find PT for the guys they have.
When Quinn and Cozens are ready, Klentak will have to play "let's make a deal."

Prospect watch at Clearwater, 14th rd pick Darick Hall has 5 HRs after a big year in Lakewood.
He doesn't turn 22 until summer, so he's not an overage college kid beating up young pitchers like his teammate Listi (24).
Both played together at Dallas Baptist.

Edit, found this;

I think the idea is once that swing is locked into muscle memory, he can move closer to the plate because he'll be able to turn on inside fastballs.

 

[Les Averman]

Bonds is not the best to ever play the game my friend.

Eh hard disagree

 

[baudib1]

The only argument against Bonds is based on some sort of steroids discount. He's the best player anyone alive has ever seen, and he was a 3-time MVP before anyone thinks he did anything remotely illegal.
