@PhilsTailgate Wheeler should pretty easily win comeback player this year

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@BrightWxCane @destiny_lugardo What injury hurt the Phillies?

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@Stevenkirk2019 @96higgster @freakmongerGG @mlbbowman You’re right. We’ve wanted everyone fired for months regardless of the outcomes.

Bryce Harper in right field

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@casaybelle @FranzkeLA That’s a base hit on almost any shortstop in baseball

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@drewBbalis Phillies are moving their game up a half hour to try and get it in— I trust you expect the Dbacks to do the same?

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@RayDunne975 They lost this game.

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@PhilsTailgate Radio guys said Wheeler is scheduled to start Sunday. If they’re clinched, just a quick appearance. If season on the line, a full start that would rule him out of the Wild Card

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@_piccone Kudos to Stock for letting that one breathe and not feeling like he needed to insert himself to say something too.

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@JAshton2k1 @JonHeyman Nah, Arraez to the Phils means Bohm is gone.

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@RayMoffo Minors have a different CBA and played during the last lockout, no? Just players on the 40-man prevented from playing. You’ll just see AAA games televised instead.

@HuckPalmer @Alexcoll_ That’s not exclusive to the Dodgers though. The large majority of prospects moved make little MLB impact on their careers. Baseball America ran a story last week that looked at all the deals in the last 10 years, and only about 30% resulted in a 1+ WAR MLB player

@LesBowen I just spoke to the Phillies on the phone for about 40 minutes. They are in good spirits and recovering from a fall during the All Star break. They should be back anytime now.

[Les Bowen @LesBowen]

Mitch McConnell wants proof that the Phillies are still alive.

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@everyb0dyhits Is there any word that he has an injury or is everyone just speculating and immediately thinking the worst like usual?

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@Raiderfrank65 Same question, who would you have rather had 3 years ago?

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@TheGoodPhight Why bother trading more prospects to just lose to the Brewers or Dodgers anyway? Blow it up.

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

@Too_COLDforThis @mhc_76 It’s probably time to blow it up, but what are you selling at this point? Massive contracts? Hurt top prospects? Duran?

[Bruce Knoll Jr @knollb52]

To me the Phillies have 2 options at the deadline: Go all-in, trade the farm and make a huge swing at this season, or stand pat and blow it all up in the offseason. The farm simply isn’t deep enough to try and make enough moves to fix it all now and hold onto top prospects
