Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2024 Edition)

[LegionOfDoom91]

I've seen some reports that Kyle Tucker wants to be closer to his family in Florida and neither Florida team is likely willing to sign him to a large contract. Braves might be more inclined to trade for him with a year left before FA thinking they could sign him.

Spoiler

Well you can’t pack a fat lip anymore. Am I right @Captain Dave Poulin

Probably for Kyle Tucker or Luis Robert

I dont think the Astros would trade him though maybe if their situation doesnt change for the positive for them they will. He would cost so much though you would be getting him for more than a year and could always flip him next season. I like Luis Robert though he is always hurt. Rob didnt rule out recently Sosa to the outfield. Regardless I do think they need to add a outfield bat and another right handed reliever.

I kinda feel like the Phillies have gotten a huge amount of "overperforming Sosa" and moving him to the OF as a regular or platoon guy is probably going to see him reverting to his norm the more time he plays.

Does Atlanta even have the prospects for a Tucker trade?

You are probably right but their outfield right now is dire. His career OPS+/wRC+ is 101. Granted if he were to play everyday I dont think he would maintain that though even if he was between 75 to 85 that still would be a huge boost to what they have out there now. The Phillies combined outfield OPS this year is .647. Judges slugging % is better than that alone and Ozuna isnt far behind .

Ozuna's been a full-time DH for Atlanta since last season.

I know, my point is he is slugging close to the Phillies outfield OPS. Their pitching has been so good that it hasnt been much of an issue so far.

Just tuned into Fox, are they too poor to send their pregame team to London?

 

[Danko]

havent seen a single mets fan yet

 

[Rebels57]

Ranger struggling with command early.

One strike from getting out of the inning, hits a batter on an 0-2 count, next batter drives in a run and the Phillies are down 1-0.

 

[DancingPanther]

Looks like Ranger's hand still hurts

 

[Rebels57]

Thankfully Ranger limited the damage

 

[Rebels57]

Phillies look tighter than the Mets so far

 

[Rebels57]

Leave Merrifield in London

 

[DancingPanther]

Lock of the century he was homering today. No moment is too big for Bryce

Mama, there goes that man again

 

[Schwarbomb]

It looked like Harper was playing tee ball on that HR.

 

[Rebels57]

BRYCE BOMB FOLLOWED BY THE SOCCER CELLY....WHAT A f***ING STUD!

 

[wankstifier]

What is Stott looking for

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

That was a big bounce.

Merrifield.

 

[Cody Webster]

Whit!!!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Finally they brought out the juiced ball.

 

[Cody Webster]

Love a good ole fashion two out rally

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Love a good ole fashion two out rally

That great AB by Stott lead to 5 runs so far. Manaea was 1 strike away. Oh well

 

[ponder719]

Love starting to pay attention to baseball just as we explode. Hell of a game so far.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’re cooking!
