Well, you see

Ken Rosenthal & other pundits said firing Joe Girardi would solve nothing.

We have people on here saying that him being fired would do nothing.

I get the general skepticism when it comes to the Phillies from a fan standpoint since it’s been awhile since they’ve sustained anything good. But there was zero downside to changing out Girardi.

I think Ken & those guys were more so looking at it from a protecting a colleague standpoint since Girardi worked in the media with them for a while before he took the Phillies job.

Guilty as charged. There has been enough of a sample size at this point to say Girardi was like girardia to the team's water supply.

Also guilty, but I also don't believe in this team in the long run. This is going WAY better than expected though

 

[Halladay]

If they can add another middle reliever and another bat I may start to believe. First time in years Im going to start using MLBTR . Right now without Bryce their offense is just so anemic.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Well, you see

Totally agree they were a mess in the past but with Girardi gone that mess got cleaned up real quick.

Give me Bednar

 

[Halladay]

Give me Bednar

He'd cost alot but definitely could use him.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

It’s so weird seeing a player like Schwarber leading off. Batting .220 but right there among the league leaders in HR’s. I guess that’s the new age MLB for you

Slugging .520 with a BA of .220 is pretty hard to wrap my head around lol

 

[DancingPanther]

Add another blown lead to the pile! A run in each of the last 3 innings! Love that

Cool, nice to know there's another reason to hate Nola

These guys would all be traded if I was GM btw

You hate all of them because they aren’t vaccinated?

 

[DancingPanther]

No, just Nola. I've repeatedly said that he pisses me off, this is just fuel to that fire. I would love to see him be the worst good pitcher in the league on another team.

As for the other guys, obviously don't hate them. But if I was GM, they'd be traded. If I were GM, there would be a policy in place similar to countless other workplaces. If you don't follow the policy, then you get traded. Simple as that. Has happened many other places too. Not hate at all, but no love lost.

 

[Halladay]

Gibson said the other day he wasnt vaccinated cause he has an auto immune disorder. Everyone knew about Nola. JT needs a bit of time off, so Stubbs playing is fine.

It was Ulcerative Colitis (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and pretty much all doctors recommend those patients to get vaxxed because you run a much higher risk of more physical discomfort and pain FROM COVID if you contract it than any side-effects from the vaccines.

I think Harper being hurt is able to avoid the criticism that would be leveled at the Phillies best player not being able to play two games in Toronto since it's questionable that he is vaccinated.

 

[trostol]

Rhys destroyed that

that being said..i don't wanna listen to Ben

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Great, Bohm broke his finger.

 

[trostol]

gotta be some sort of Philly curse at this point lol
