OT: 2018 Phillies

[wankstifier]

Looked like Dominguez hit his spot? Probably not a great idea to go into a hitter's wheelhouse up 0-2

Missed it by a mile. Inside fastball wasn't the best call there though.

It grinds my gears that Crawford isn't still in

out 4-6 weeks.

 

[Halladay]

This is terrible. Just need to go on a 10 game losing streak to put me out of my misery.

Yikes

They got 6 vs Nats and 3 vs Yanks but after that July is a much easier schedule plus they should have Neshak by then which if he's anything close to last year that will help a lot. With Hoskins hitting well, if you get Herrera close to what he was, maybe get CH to hit a little more, this team is going to win their fair share of games. Even if they don't trade for any help, I think they could be in the wild card race for much of the year unless guys like VV, Pivetta, Eflin don't pitch well. I mean they are going to have their ups and downs but if it ends up being mostly downs the phils won't win too many games.

 

[FLYguy3911]

No easy wins.

As much as we complain about the Flyers announcers on this board, the Phillies announcers are worse.

It sickens me to hear McCarthy and Kruk crow over Odubel's success like they knew it was coming all along when they spent every loose opportunity in the last 2 years to bash him.

(I dont give Schmidt a pass for his comments about Herrera either)

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

McCarthy is terrible.

 

[montreal]

here's all the info on the draft picks that have signed,

Phillies Drafted Players

McCarthy is terrible.

until he's not there and they replace him with Murph. I'm spoiled because I got to listen to one of the all time best duos in sports broadcasting history as a kid in the '80's with Harry and Whitey but man is it a far cry from what it used to it. Today's game I had to turn the sound down real low as it was just so bad.

i'm guessing she isn't the first to get poked in the eye by a flying weiner lol

 

[Hiesenberg]

This team is frustrating for sure, but they are 6 games over .500 and they are super young and finding their way.

Also their bullpen sucks to high heaven. Still not sure they can make the playoffs, but I think they'll get into the mid 80s of wins

They’re not getting our hot dog guns.

Seriously what they hell were in those hot dogs to give her a black eye?

bullpens can be assembled in an offseason and should always be the final piece. Until then you let the young guys determine where this team is in the rebuild process. I was hoping between altherr, williams, franco and alfaro we would have just 1 of those guys develop into a stud. If we had that to go along with hoskins, and herrera leading us and kingery and crawford still developing i would be more encouraged. But truth be told i am very worried that this organization can't develop a bat.

Here are a list of major propsects in the phillies organization that have failed to hit at the mlb level

Travis D'anarud
Michael Taylor
Domonic Brown
jon singelton


the only one that has ever had a good season was Domino Santana. Its crazy.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Whenever Neshek wants to pitch that would be great.

 

[Rebels57]

Whenever Neshek wants to pitch that would be great.

WTF is going on with him?

 

[Danko]

Im thinking about going on Thursday the 28th, would be my first game this season

 

[montreal]

WTF is going on with him?

He pitched a little yesterday, they said if all went well he could be sent on rehab assignment by next week and be up by early July.

 

[Halladay]

The bats came alive.

 

[Hiesenberg]

After these coming series with the Nats and Yanks, the Phillies play 4 teams with winning records over the next month+ (can't remember exactly).

We knew the brutal stretch would even itself out and the Phillies for the most part, held themselves up. I think they'll be in the playoff race for the better part of the year.

 

[Halladay]

The first 10 days or so of june were the terrible. The rest great.

 

[montreal]

WTF is going on with him?

pitched in Clearwater so hopefully he's not too far away, if he's anything like he was last year, that's a heck of an addition mid-season.

 

[montreal]

Got my first view of Bohm in his first game with the Crosscutters today. He went 1 for 5, had a deep fly out but other then that he didn't do too much. Matt Vierling the 5th rounder from this months draft had a big night going 3 for 5 and has hit well so far. Also liked 2 of the bigger money LA signed players, Guzman at SS and Silva the pitcher, both had good games

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I honestly haven’t watched a game on ESPN in a long time. Their field mics are so damn close compared to the Phils broadcast.
