It’s crazy how much better the Phillies are than us. Legitimate stars, Harper, Turner, Schwarber. Aces: Sanchez, Wheeler w/ Luzardo not too far behind.
None of our star position players on any of their Big 3’s level. King not near Wheeler or Sanchez.
No chance with this roster.
@NandoTruther Wait, what? The Phillies have Kyle Schwarber on pace for 60+ Home Runs and Bryce Harper who’s having an MVP caliber season at the plate? You’re trolling 😂
In the playoffs let’s say we’re in the Wild Card round trailing 1 in game 3 with runners on the corners & you need a pinch hitter. Crazy you’d rather call on Jase Bowen or Bryce Johnson or even Samad Taylor over Nick Castellanos. Bad move. Didn’t have a chance w/o consistent ABs.
Nick Castellanos has been designated for assignment.
The Padres have recalled OF Samad Taylor from Triple-A.
While Taylor has played 2B, the Padres seem a bit heavy on outfielders now.
@kirkwood24@captainseawok I like them as supporting tools to evaluate but still believe in the old school way of trusting what you’re seeing in reality bc the metrics can be flawed like showing crone’s better than he appears. Felt Casty was better than his adv stats with competitive ABs.
@kirkwood24@captainseawok Exactly my point. Glorifying a 107 wrc+ and ignoring that he actually grounds out to 2B or Ks like 80% of the time. Flawed nerd stats that most players themselves don’t even value. Snell didn’t even know what fwar was. Yet it’s the fuckin bible to guys that never played sports
@kirkwood24@captainseawok That’s the exact problem with the team right now. We’re putting value in a mf’s “ability to walk” over actual eye test seemingly. Cronenworth shouldn’t be on an MLB roster imo. Yet people swear by him bc he walks and has decent war bc his glove. But he’s not an MLB Hitter
This could go down as one of the worst at-bats in this spot I've seen in a while from Jase Bowen. Inexcusable.
Same pitch 3 times, all a foot outside the plate he swung at. Lol
