@SportsRadioWIP Don’t over extend him in games 3-5 innings and get him out. Let him have some clean innings and build his confidence. Can’t cut him. Can’t send him to AAA. Contract is untradeable.
@JClarkNBCS One thing to look at. Run support for Painter in his starts has been bad. And a couple blown outings by the bullpen had cost him some wins. It hasn’t been all bad if you look closer. But also not what we were all expecting.
@spaventa7@SportsRadioWIP You can’t pay him that kind of money to be a “leverage “ guy or just an arm out the pen. Thats why he’s suggesting Closer. Closer is an important role where you can justify that contract if it worked.
@SportsRadioWIP We are in bad shape with Nola. He’s only in the 2nd year in a big contract. I don’t see him snapping out of this. Phillies are in a lose lose situation right now with Nola. I would try to trade him, Maybe try to pair his with Bohm to a team trying to make a push.
@SleeperPhillies It’s only game 3, but let’s not pretend running back mostly the same roster was not going to present the same issues of bad swings and many innings of cold bats. But I’m optimistic 😂
