We've got to start muting any mentions of this guy.
Trea Turner seems like a waste of money...that netflix documentary is gonna do some numbers huh....
Marsh is a very good platoon player. Remember like over 70% of starting pitchers are right handed and he crushes them. The problem is center field is a black hole and in reality Nick should be more of a platoon player (never will though).
I'm not ready to give up on Stott. I just think he had a bad year.

Stott is too damn good defensively to be as shit at the plate as he is. He is a guy that needs to be playing every game, not platooning because he can't hit lefties.
Marsh is a replacement level player. Good vibes are great if you are contributing, he doesn't.
Bohm is hurt. I'll give him a pass only if he comes in refocused next year. But this postseason was terrible and it went beyond him being hurt. He was an automatic 1 or 2 pitch out every time up.
Clements and Hayes are completely worthless. They don't deserve a spot on a contending team.
Rojas is great defensively, but a disaster at the plate. I don't know if it's worth keeping him around.
We need guys who can get on base. Enough of this all or nothing long ball shit. It doesn't work in the postseason.

Just inexcusable. The entire hitting staff has to be fired. Complete failure on them to do their job and have this team ready to play
Keepers: Harper, Casty, Stott, starting rotation minus walker
Stuck with: Turner, Realmuto,
Shoot into the sun: Thompson, Schwarber, Bohm, entire bullpen

Bohm was terrible in the post-season last year, too. And he shouldn't have been batting 5th.
It's amazing how they're built to slug, and an entire half of your lineup was death.

Always was a flawed roster. Dombo is probably going to empty the clip this offseason.

You want to get rid of Kyle and not Nick? Why?
I would really consider moving Ranger with only 1 year of control left. Especially if they could get a potential decent bat. Love him though.

I'd be ok moving on from both.
They're both extremely flawed. Far too inconsistent to be in the spots they are in the lineup. And with Kyle not drawing walks like he used to, he's become an easy out.
Nick is a waste. He has moments of brilliance but statistically he's one of the all time worst postseason players during his tenure here. A consistent Trainwreck that makes you forget about it by having a rare big hit.

I have absolutely no idea what that looks like anymore.
It feels like multiple signficant position player changes but also that I have no idea where they are. Every position with an asset that's movable is selling incredibly low or costing you significant retention. I guess the former doesn't matter as much if you're moving all in on a 2 year window?

Imagine how bad the team discipline would be without Kyle in the lineup. He's the one guy you should feel good about.
Nick comes through in big moments. Did all year. Hes slump prone sure but he showed up to this series.
The line up revolves around schwarber. Hes locked into the lead off spot and you lose a lot of roster flexibilty. If you really wanna shake up this line up to be better suited for the playoffs, hes the guy to move on from.

I did in the 8th.
You’re the drop-in king. That’s where the roadkill defensemen reside. Going to need more of a McDonald-type game to make the big leagues.

Getting thoroughly humiliated by the Knicks and Mets in the same year is unpleasant.

If you get rid of Kyle there is basically no one with any plate discipline other than Bryce. Truth is the stats show Nick should really be a platoon player. Nick should be one of the first ones to go though won't due to his little value.

Give me a couple boring vanilla 30 year old outfielders who hit .280 and walk. Like guys who aren’t stars but can battle in individual plate appearances and get on base. Bottom half of the lineup can easily be replaced; they showed nothing in the postseason
Give Stott and Bohm one more year though I think Bohm might not be the type of batter that succeeds in the postseason. He was great in the first half, see if he can build on that and become more patient. Stott can at least see pitches and he’s had a few clutch moments
Next year might be a reshuffle and try again. Maybe the young guys are ready to infuse raw talent in the lineup the year after next

Last year was painful, tonight I could see coming.
Should make the playoffs next year due to the 3 wild cards. Things need to change though.

Getting rid of Kyle would be replaced by a Sosa ideally.
I agree with plate discipline. I still think Rhys was a huge loss in that department. He really made the line up tougher.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
The outfield is the problem. They need a major upgrade at CF and good rh bat to platoon with Marsh in left. And both need to be guys who know how to take pitches and get on base.
Once again, they need another good arm or 3 in the ‘pen too.
And Thompson just has to go. The feel good pats on the ass method obviously isn’t working. You don’t need to go full Torts, never go full Torts, but they someone who will also kick an ass or 2 when needed. The new mgr needs a better understanding of how to manage a bullpen or he needs to bring in a top notch pitching coach who will make those decision for him.
