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

My friend is genuinely going on and on about how it's a conspiracy between the dodgers and Marlins to allow Ohtani to do what he did today. He truly believes the teams colluded for this outcome.

I didn't realize you knew @Hollywood Cannon in person.

Cant help but wonder what would would have happened if they never removed Turnbull from the rotation for Walker. Does keeping Turnbull in his routine keep him healthy? Do we avoid this 5th starter fiasco?

The Phils have made A LOT of mistakes this season for a 1st place team.

Turnbull has never stayed healthy.
The real problem was Painter blowing out his elbow.
Walker was a decent 5th starter until this season, overpaid but could eat innings.

Next season, they'll probably bring a cheap veteran to compete with Walker.
Reason: Lehigh will have Painter, Abel, Johnson and McGowan in the rotation. With Chace, Cabrera and Castellanos starting the season in Reading.

Painter already throwing 98 in short rehab stints. He may make the team out of ST training, but will probably start in Lehigh. However, coming off TJ, they'll limit his innings.
