All I really do is tweet about the Phillies....

@maps_black The worst thing is it isn’t even the current trend of minimal design
They just took a jpeg of the trophy and slapped in on the year

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@SrGDesigner412 @JohnStolnis 2 Giants, I’d want Helliot Ramos. He’s been hurt and the defense is terrible, but he mashes and it’s a righty bat in the outfield (2/2)

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@SrGDesigner412 @JohnStolnis Idk how much I believe in the defensive numbers for Arraez, but I’m growing more and more open to him, just makes the offseason more complicated, but that’s a later problem.
I don’t think the Giants will let go of Schmitt in his break out year pre-arb
If you’re going after (1/2)

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@JohnStolnis We know a righty bat and another starter are top needs, but a leverage lefty reliever is probably number 3 on the trade deadline needs. With around a month and a half to the deadline, who are some lefty relievers (not named Aroldis Chapman) do you think should be targeted?

[The Good Phight @TheGoodPhight]

Marsh is an incredible ball player and just the best teammate possible

@vontaszn @dalvin4mvp Walker was released over a month ago

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@TheGoodPhight Very excited for Reyes, that’s the only positive comment I can make

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@YiannisElafi @JackFritzWIP @SportsRadioWIP Orion Kerkering was drafted in 2022 and debuted in September of 2023

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@TheGoodPhight I also pray to Matt Klentak occasionally

[The Good Phight @TheGoodPhight]

10/10 everything. The swing. The watch. The flip. The walk.

Bryce Freaking Harper.

@TheGoodPhight Haven’t touched co-op yet, but the trading in franchise is intended to be a more realistic negotiation

Teams can sit on it for a few days, accept, deny, or counter offer
Also gives them a chance to field other offers for the same player from other teams

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@JackFritzWIP It was so obvious I called it over a month ago

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@McMurica76 @TheGoodPhight From what I heard, he also struggles a little bit with velo, but not to the same extent.
Versatile defensively and big righty bat. Honestly very few better fits

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@jarvistroy00 @JohnStolnis 10 and 5 rights are essentially a vetted no trade clause. A player can veto a trade when they’ve reached both at least 10 years of major league service and 5 consecutive years with one team

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@JackFritzWIP @eaglesjoejoe Really ball knowers know you called the Phils would drop game 1 and win the series

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@JohnStolnis If the playoffs started today, what role would Nola have?
I don’t see them leaving him off the roster and he’s never pitched out of the bullpen in his career

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@aidanobrecht Maybe this game was enough of a statement…

[Ed McLaughlin @Ed__McLaughlin]

@aidanobrecht Exactly. I can stomach a sweet like this a little more if there’s some fire in their post game responses. Just feels lifeless
