Alex McFarlane has now recorded 14 consecutive scoreless outings after getting the save last night for the @ReadingFightins!
Check out every strikeout from McFarlane's streak that dates back to mid-April ⤵️
@80sBoxing@PhilsTailgate When a player accumulates a -0.9 WAR in limited playing time, it becomes very obvious that the player is a detriment to a team. He’s a 1st percentile baserunner and defender, when he’s not hitting he’s really just taking up space. Why want that on your team?
Gage Wood has continued to find success since his call-up to AA Reading!
AA Reading:
3 G | 11.0 IP | 11 H | 3 ER | 1 BB | 14 K
2.45 ERA | 1.09 WHIP | .262 BAA
A Clearwater:
8 G | 26.1 IP | 17 H | 10 ER | 12 BB | 40 K
3.42 ERA | 1.10 WHIP | .187 BAA
The Phillies OF situation is tricky. Content to ride Crawford out through the year. Garcia is so good in RF I’d be content with him if there was a little more competence at the dish. He has a big couple months ahead. LF should still be a platoon with Marsh IMO.
Skubal would be an asinine all in move. If they’re going to do that, I’d rather give up less prospects for another closer like Chapman.
3B is the most pressing need on the team. Alec Bohm’s fWAR is -0.4 and you’d think it was worse from watching him.
Open to adding OF
ESPN’s @JeffPassan released the best fit at the trade deadline for every team. For the Phillies:
Tarik Skubal and Taylor Ward
He also mentioned Isaac Paredes as a potential trade candidate for the Phillies.

@RealD_Jackson Eagles should give Smitty another extension for as many years as he will possibly take. Reward him for being the man that he is and more importantly, do it before the receiver market gets more out of control.
We have designated 1B/OF Nick Castellanos for assignment and selected the contract of INF/OF Samad Taylor from Triple-A El Paso. Taylor will wear No. 0.
Good trade. Eagles got 4 elite seasons of AJ Brown and a ring they wouldn’t have won without him, end up trading him for almost as much as they gave up for him originally. The timing was right. AJ is an Eagles legend, it was time to move on.
@Gordon_Hultz The conditional pick usually comes from the team acquiring the player. What conditions would be placed on a pick coming from the Eagles? Get a grip.
