AA has a week longer regular season. Probably trying to give him a chance to acclimate at a level he'll most likely start at next year.

Sure makes sense to me. He struck out a lot in high A but also walked 30 times in like 50 games. Obviously no Juan Soto, but a .258 BA and a .353 obp lends to believe he has selectivity that'll play in the upper le els of the minors. Definitely not expecting him to light up AA right away though

He got off to a miserable start. Lights out the last month or so.

Reading is a great place to hit, especially compared to Lakewood. Night and day.

He's so young too. Should be a pretty nice replacement at the plate once Casty's contract runs out. Who knows where he fits in the field though

Miller is playing SS right now, better than expected.
However, once Caba learns how to hit, he's the SS of the future, elite fielding tools.

Castellanos has 2 years left, his replacement may be Crawford/Ricones, both who were at Reading this year. Ricones has struggled with injuries, but has plus power, big boi. Both are LH.

Miller should be a better fielder at 3B than Bohm, who is blocked at 1B and kinda young for DH.

The guy to watch is Tait, 17 year old catcher finishing the season at Clearwater.

Leadoff Schwarbomb!

Tyler Phillips stinks. Dombrowski really should have added a depth starter at the deadline instead of hoping Walker could be that guy.

Phillips is not even gonna make it out of the 1st.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Phillips about to put this game away in the first.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Stubbs is pitching tonight.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Is Turnball out for the year?

In better news. Both of the prospects the Phillies acquired for Gregory Soto from the Orioles at the trade deadline won pitcher of the week in their respective levels.

Seth Johnson: Pitcher of the week: International League(AAA)
1 start: 6 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 6 K
(has a 0.56 ERA and a 0.94 BAA in 3 AAA starts since promoted)

Moises Chace: Pitcher of the Week: Eastern League (AA)
1 start: 6 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 13 K
(has a 1.72 ERA and a 16.7 K/9 in 3 AA starts since promoted)

Free Taijuan!

 

[Svechhammer]

Phillips was a good story a month or so ago, but you could never really rely on him to be the guy. But when the only other option is Top Deck Taijuan, what are ya gonna do.

At least when we get to the postseason the rotation will shorten so you can go Wheeler-Nola-Ranger-Sanchez. I just wish every 5th game wasn't a complete throwaway right now.

How did Phillips throw a complete game shutout against Cleveland?

How did Phillips throw a complete game shutout against Cleveland?

Through the power of friendship and vibes.

 

[GKJ]

Taijuan Walker back?

 

[DancingPanther]

Now you can't help but laugh at that. They claw back and make it a game and then....

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t know how many more times they need to get burned by Walker at this point.

 

[Flybynite]

Listening to Ruben is not good vibes.

 

[DancingPanther]

They just won't go away, and I appreciate that

 

[Schwarbomb]

Walker hasn't had a good outing since May, what are they doing?

 

[DancingPanther]

I really appreciate how Walker is now the pitcher of record lol
