@JeffKerrPHL who knew taking TRT then stopping would have an effect on performance. should’ve cut ties with him after the suspension but he got rewarded with another contract
@SportsRadioWIP it’s more likely they make a minor move to make a push for the post season and hope for a 2022 like run. otherwise they need to fire Dombo this offseason and start selling off whatever they can
@InTheAlleyPod baseball savant doesn’t show stuff for minors but I dug into some of his game logs from 2022. velo wise it looks about the same as what we are seeing now. I’ve seen people say he threw 99-101 but it looks like there was a single pitch he threw that hard in the minors
@InTheAlleyPod I wonder what his extension looked like pre TJ. if it was the same it’s just odd for a guy his size to not take advantage of his frame. thankfully he’s 23 going through this and not 27. there’s plenty of time for him to turn it around
@MyPhilliesHat for his role on the team yeah I’d agree, Miller was fine. Kimbrel was fine in the regular season he just ran out of gas and was cooked in the post season. Adolis I’ll say is a wash
@baxter40_22 you can make the argument he’s already lost some speed. in past years I feel like it was 50/50 him beating out double play balls. this year I can count on one hand how many double play balls he’s beat out. doesn’t steal a lot either. to be fair that’s partially lineup placement.
@GPhilly120 I’m sure Rangel can’t do any worse than Painter. or there’s gotta be someone else with an opt out in a different organization they can go after. just scrap this year for Painter and send him to Florida to fix his mechanics. he’s got youth on his side
@2030Phils something looks off with his mechanics. admittedly I didn’t see him pitch pre TJ so I don’t know if his delivery changed at all. he has youth on his side so sending him to Florida to regroup and fix things may be the best thing for him
@PhilsTailgate he needs to get sent down. not even to AAA, maybe even AA. for someone who is 6’7” he pitches likes he’s 5’10” they need to work on that with him
@InTheAlleyPod I’d put the feelers out to see if Trea is willing to waive his NTC. maybe do a contract swap with SD and get Tatis. no matter where you play him you’ll get gold glove defense
