Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 (2023 Edition)

What do some of the comments say? Are they cooking the announcers?

“I’m the thiccest 18 year old on Twitter.”

Just funny stats that I found out now, so Schwarb has 22 HRs, which is tied for 6th in the majors. Has 58 walks, which is tied for 3rd. And has 111 strikeouts, which is tied for 2nd. Baseball is f***ing weird sometimes.

Just skipped through the game. Maybe the Phillies didn't do so badly in the Curtis Mead trade? Didn't realize that Sanchez was the guy they got for him.

Wouldn't go that far. Mead is a career .300 hitter in the minors and a top 100 prospect for a couple years now.

Sanchez had almost as many walks as strikeouts in AAA this year. He's probably not as good as he's thrown of late. The intriguing part of that trade was Sanchez was supposed to be an upper 90s guy and the velocity has just never been there as a Phillie.

Probably the best live sporting event I’ve ever been to.

Probably the best live sporting event I’ve ever been to.

When that happened, it reminded me of Mariano Duncan's grand slam off Lee Smith in the 1993 march to the World Series:

2:1 K to BB rate too which is a pretty good sign from a 20-22 yr old in the minors with some magnitude of projectable pop

Yeah, I was kinda kidding. I have Mead as a Minors stash on my fantasy team. He struggled for a stretch, but he seems to be a great hitting prospect

Who could’ve seen this coming…

He was originally called up May 10th, so he has just under 60 days of service time. To qualify for "Super-Two" status which would mean an extra year of arbitration and not 'team determined salary' the cutoff is generally around 115-135 days of service time. If he stayed up the entire season that would be another 90 days or so of service time getting him to 150 and assuring he'd he "Super Two" status if he was a regular player the next 2 seasons.

That seems pretty shitty considering how well he's been doing this year.

I bought Thatcher Venmo a box of baseball cards a couple of months ago and we’ve opened up a pack a week.

He just got his first Shohei card. There’s probably four billion of this card made but alas. I put that one aside.

See him in 2025.

Yep, pretty sure we both said just to get the surgery 4 months ago and we'd see him this time next year. Now we won't see him until 2025, if ever.

And Alcantara back to 2022 form. Elbow damage for Painter. This is all predictable

I thought this was illegal now? But also, isn't this pretty common for younger guys during the all star break?
