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

[Halladay]

Liberation!

Love that the ostensibly contending Orioles decided that what they needed to make a playoff push was the three guys we felt we needed to upgrade on.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I guess they were just out on Soto & wanted to replenish some organzational depth.

 

[GKJ]

I don’t know why you trade away a LHP unless Ranger is a option for the bullpen in the playoffs

 

[DancingPanther]

Weird stuff. I guess a couple prospects coming back for Soto is something. The pitcher is a young guy in the low minors with good strikeout stuff and control problems, stop me if you've heard that before. I'm not sure about Banks, I'll have to look into that. He dominates lefties fwiw

I knew he was struggling but jeez I didn’t know Harper was batting .175/.266/.421 for the month of July coming into tonight.

I liked Bergolla. Probably wasn't gonna hit with enough pop though to make an impact.

Suarez might go to the pen down the stretch but it mostly comes down to not trusting him (like Dominguez) and roster Spots. Banks took his.

LHR:
Alvarado
Strahm
Banks

RHR:
Estevez
Hoffman
Kerkering

Wheeler
Nola
Sanchez
Suarez
Walker
Turnbull

That's 12 and whoever of the fringe guys earns the last spot in the pen.

2B is trending defensive. I could see him being a nice bench piece.

Rays are going to resurrect Carlson

You figure one of Sanchez or Suarez out of the pen too. Turnbull is a question mark post injury but he's another bulk guy. It's certainly solid on paper, these guys just have to deliver

 

[DancingPanther]

Hays' first homer on the Phils is against a righty of course lol

 

[Cody Webster]

Padres going all in while Dombrowski kicks up his boat shoes and does nothing.

I have both Suarez and Scott in fantasy....great

Sanchez has been one of the best starters in baseball so I doubt very much he goes to the pen unless they have some crazy innings limit on him.

Didn't realize Banks is lefthanded. I was looking at how batting hand when i looked it up

Oh definitely. Anything could happen to rookies in the playoffs though, he might be on a short leash. I'd give him the ball though at this point (always been a San he's guy) especially considering Ranger has playoff bullpen experience in high leverage

If Ranger's time off truly heals his back and gets him back into form it'll be a wild competition for playoff starts between those two.

 

[Cody Webster]

Is JT drunk?

Add the ump to the drunk list

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Bullpen doing a bang up job lately.

 

[Cody Webster]

These guys f***ing stink

Chizzam is the guy

 

[DancingPanther]

Fun stuff

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Juiced balls.

 

[BiggE]

Ugh

 

[Halladay]

Murphys law now!

 

[DancingPanther]

July can't be over soon enough. We'll always have the Dodgers series

 

[Halladay]

Strahm was never going to pitch to his sub 2 ERA but he has been bad this past month. He barely walked anyone prior.

Their offense just stalls after the first few innings. It's bad.
