These games (if they win) will flip to losses eventually. You can't win 1 run games constantly, luck will run out and the losses will mount.
Pathetic performance to only get 3 hits on Cobb who's essentially a batting practice pitcher this year.

So easy to pitch to him.
Fastball down the middle (always watches)
Junk pitch out of the zone (always swings)
Anything because he's lost now.

Fans: The Phillies are too patient with prospects.
Phillies: We've signed Scott Kingery to a contract extension through 2026. He'll be on the Opening Day roster.
Fans: Kingery sucks. Send him back to AAA.
I agree he's overmatched, but it's just funny how these things work. Every time I see some prospect update on Twitter, there's always some schmuck saying "Won't see him for 8 years".

Gotta give Kingery slack. If he's gonna struggle then now would be the time. He's also playing out of position in the field.
My man Franco is an enigma.
Some nights he looks like a legit 4 tool star and others like a slow car crash. Glad to see him finding his groove recently

Our combined OPS of our first round picks from 2015 (10 overall) and 2016 (1st overall) is 1100.

I hope Kapler's not married to the idea of keeping him at short. Crawford has a much better approach to hitting and ability to field the position

I seriously think we land him. Goddamn I'll be so f***ing happy if we do.

This team needs Machado so bad but no way am I giving up Sixto or Medina for a rental. They need to trade guys that are on the 40 or need to be on the 40 before the rule 5 draft to free up some space.

Meanwhile the Nats are a game under .500. It’s looking an end to underachieving reign.

Don't think so, they have some impressive young OF's, I still think they keep Harper but if not that clearly changes things.

A Machado trade is like the Karlsson trade.
Baltimore fans will want your Top 5 prospects and $20MM in cash.
Phillies fans will only want to give up 1 Top 5, and not Sixto.
There is a happy madium. I think it'll be Crawford and somebody like Williams/Altherr (mostly for filler) and the main pieces will be the prospects after that.
