He's actually got a slightly less slugging percentage than last year. Although he has 6 HR's which is double his career total of 3 (which he hit last year). So it's probably not much of risk. A couple weeks pre-trade deadline of playing at one of the better hitter's parks in the Phillies minor league system during some of the hottest periods of the summer where the ball carries.

Might give him a bump and elevate his trade-chip status even a little bit more. If he struggles, it's not going to be as big of deal with it being a few weeks and a bump to AA when he's 20.

I don't think it's anywhere near a slam dunk he's traded and most likely he'll be at Reading for the rest of this season and next season.

Braves lost 1-0 to Arizona so back to 9.5 lead

Phillies "Clearly a Better Team" than the Dodgers

Supposed to be going to the game tonight but at this point they need to just reschedule. I really dont want to drive all the way up there, pay for parking and wait 2 hours in a rain delay before they reschedule. Its supposed to rain all damn day

- from the Dodgers manager himself.

That's him just sending a message to both the GM to spend more money and the team to show up next time they play us.

Who can the Dodgers add to solidify their pitching? Crochet and Miller are the top arms available and I don't think they'd offer much certainty.

Finally, likeable guy but need someone that can contribute at the plate. Weston Wilson deserves an opportunity.

He's been a below average hitter for the last three seasons so I wouldn't exactly praise his on base skills. Feels like Josh Harrison vol 2.

Good for dave. If it were the Flyers, he would be given a 5 year extension for being a "key part of the lockerroom".

I'm f***ing shocked. Holy shit what a beautiful thing to wake up to. This is like Christmas!! Good on Dave, seriously. Would be simple to sunk cost fallacy that guy. You know damn well the Flyers would

This is a series that they lose, isn't it?

Hopefully Ranger gets back on track tonight

Hopefully Ranger gets back on track tonight

He's throwing 89 :'(

 

[Rebels57]

Ranger is broken.

Dude might need an IL stint at this point.

 

[Svechhammer]

Ranger needs a trip to the IL

Man he's getting lit up nightly. At the very least skip his next start.

Ranger turning into a pumpkin.
