Damn. They just retired his number a few months ago. Wonder if they knew something.

yeah..this year is pretty much..it just needs to go far away

Poverty franchise gonna poverty franchise.

This franchise always will be cheapskates. They just fooled us for a few years in the late 2000’s.

They are who we thought they were.

Try being a Reds fan...

Unless today's trade signals going all in with Lorenzen being a two way player OF/Closer it's down to the basement with the Pirates again for a decade.

Dear 2020, just f*** off already.

Damn. One of my earliest boyhood heroes. RIP.

My grandfather has told me some great Dick Allen stories over the years.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ah, great.

My dad's favorite player was Dick Allen and we're heading into the week of his birthday and the day that he passed away.

My grandfather has told me some great Dick Allen stories over the years.

I remember reading in the newspaper (The Evening Bulletin) the day after a game how balls he hit wound up across the street from Connie Mack. I went to his first game back with the Phillies at the Vet. He was pretty much done at that point.

That's a great read, thanks. I was one of those kids growing up in the '60s. I tried to copy his batting style, including using a bat that was way too heavy for me.

He really was larger than life for us then.

read that LHP Damon Jones is hitting 99, man if he ever gets his control in check he could be sick. Will be interesting to see if he makes his debut at some point next season as they will need some lefties out of the pen to go with JoJo and Ranger who I believe I read is doing well currently along with Rosso who I like what i've seen from him despite how badly it went for him in his 1st year in the majors.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ah, great.

My dad's favorite player was Dick Allen and we're heading into the week of his birthday and the day that he passed away.

Yeah, of course. 2020.

Going the wrong direction.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

They're the Spaceballs Fast Forwarding bit come to life.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

le sigh.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Hiring a guy who the Red Sox didn't trust to lead their retooling. This seems bad on paper. Why the Red Sox fired Dave Dombrowski

 

[Chinatown88]

Going the wrong direction.

My cousin in law is a Red Sox fan. I texted him the tweet. He just responded with a bunch of laughing emojis and condolences. Haiyahhh...

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I take back anything good I ever said about John Middleton.

 

[FLYguy3911]

This team has no clue. I don’t know how you watch the teams that are consistently in the playoffs and how they operate and go yeah, I want that. I guess all of the mouth breathers that call into WIP and complain about aNaLyTiCs will be happy though.

Great song. Madden 05.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Is Dumbo good? Do we want him?

 

[tucson83]

Going the wrong direction.

why because you want a teardown?

 

[FLYguy3911]

why because you want a teardown?

I stopped being a fan.

 

[Rebels57]

Yeahhhh...i'm fully checked out now.

Great job Middleton, you incompetent f***.

 

[montreal]

Is Dumbo good? Do we want him?

he's won so there's that, he's not shy about trading prospects but for the phillies that shouldn't be a big deal since they can't draft or develop for shit. They have one of the worst rated farm systems, so i don't know what he'll do but can't be much worse then trading a possible #1 in Sixto for losing seasons with Realmuto.
