Writing wannabe. Superhero afficionado. Perpetually disappointed Philly sports fan. Don't ask me about cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, or wooder ice

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

He sang like a bird about how respected he felt in San Diego compared to Philly, only for them to DFA him while he's in town. Insane.

[Luke Arcaini @ArcainiLuke]

Nick Castellanos was DFA’d by the Padres

WWE should spend more time overseas than in the states. These crowds are lit.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

The Phillies *need* a right-handed bench option that can actually hold a quality AB against tough LHP. That roster spot just can't be a backup backup catcher.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Good read here.

I'm always skeptical of "old-school" philosophies in modern baseball, but Don Mattingly keeps saying simple shit that makes me go, "Well, yeah, duh."

[Matt Gelb @MattGelb]

Some Phillies things I think I think, including a roster move to be made today: https://t.co/UwsZzU1OTW

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

I understand wanting Kemp and Reyes to play more.

It's a tough sell when you're carrying two backup catchers that can't hit and a utility infielder flailing at everything.

I like the *concept* of a speed / defense guy like Berroa being on the roster, but...

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Rare round Chase Utley 🥲

Why does it feel like every Phillies card is paywalled?

Also, a new Utley completely nukes my Phillies theme-team. Why are we making better versions of captains?!

@TheDemocrats @StephenM Drag his ass lmao

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Started strong but bitched out in the end. No morals. Typical Giant.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

What other teams were seriously in on Shohei at the deadline that year? I'm trying to understand how demonstrably awful Arte Moreno is.

[Underdog MLB @UnderdogMLB]

Rosenthal: In 2023 the Rays and Angels "seriously discussed" trading Shohei Ohtani for Junior Caminero, Carson Williams, and additional lesser pieces in return.

Angels owner Arte Moreno decided against the trade.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

I realize it's not the point of this, but give me Harper over Olson at first base, and only partly because I'm a homer

[DraftKings @DraftKings]

Tell me why the squad you pick wins 👇

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

It's Sanchez right now, but they are absolutely going to canibalize each other in the vote and Skenes is going to steal it

[John Foley @2008Philz]

Which Phillies pitcher gets your Cy Young vote?

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Also feels like there's a chance they could limit his innings, home in on the fastball / curve at Double-A, and call him up as a reliever in September.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Will be interesting to see what they do here. I'd like to see him throw more strikes, but he's been fine as a starter — the fastball is just way too good for the lower minors.

I think they'd obviously like to develop him as a starter, but...

[Phillies Tailgate @PhilsTailgate]

NEWS: The Phillies are promoting Top Prospect Gage Wood from Low-A Clearwater to AA Reading, according to @JonathanMayo.

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Oh hell yeah brother

[Jonathan Mayo @JonathanMayo]

Gage Wood, @Phillies first rounder from 2025, has been promoted… to Double-A Reading! No. 71 on @MLBPipeline Top 100:

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

I'm sure there's math out there to prove me wrong, but is it possible that people are so fed up with the current state of things that all of the gerrymandering is just kind of... ineffective?

Feels like people want actual change.

[VoteHub @VoteHub]

BREAKING — In a late-night vote, Louisiana Republicans have advanced a new congressional map out of committee that would eliminate one of the state’s Democratic-leaning districts.

The map now heads to the Senate floor for a full vote.

🔴 +1 GOP
🔵 -1 DEM

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

Unless I somehow pull Ohtani (I won't), pretty good chance I don't complete the Live Series collection this year, @MLBTheShow.

This should be THE attainable collection. I then can't use Pujols. Can't use Tulo. Super discouraging. A single 94-overall shouldn't be 900k stubs.

[Mike Dro @MikeDro_]

Shohei Ohtani is near 900,000 stubs. This is a rough look for MLB The Show

I enjoy the content and have Live Series done, but some card prices are way too inflated

Removing the 500k cap opening night was a mistake and it’s only made things worse

[Greg Pinto @Greg_Pinto]

A switch-hitting catcher is objectively hilarious
