2022 Phillies Thread

I'm pulling for Moniak still. I hope he gets it together in LA.
From a player perspective perhaps, but the hitting coach, Kevin Long, is close with Girardi, no? Seem to remember something to that effect.
Current manager Rob Thomson was bench coach for Girardi with the Yankees.
Sorry guys, I meant player wise. You're right on the coaches.
I was enjoying this Jeter documentary until they got to the 2009 season. J-Roll's time on camera is good though.
I bet the Phillies tonight -0.5 run in the first five innings. Even thought the Nationals had 15 outs, I'm pretty sure I end up losing this bet because the Phillies didn't bat in the bottom of the fifth. Brutal...
Agree. It's a sample of one, but there are more questions than there were before his debut. The Bank is a hitter's park too. One wonders how that factors into his future performance.
I would give him another few starts before judging. This was just his 2nd start since July 12th. He admitted he was rusty and tense in his first start for the Phils.
He is a very different pitcher than the guy who lit up the radar gun. Let him get his bearings for August and then you will be better able to judge exactly what they have.
Apple TV tonight. !Groan!
The chick doing the pre-game talked about the Dodgers honoring long time broadcaster "Vin Schoolie".
Mute the TV; listen to Scott and (hopefully) LA tonight.

Tonight’s first Apple TV+ game is an NL East tilt pitting the Nationals against J.T. Realmuto and the Wild Card-chasing Phillies, and it's airing exclusively on Apple TV+. It is not available on your local cable provider or MLB.TV. But don’t worry, the game can be watched for free here.

You'll need an Apple ID. Doesn't cost anything tonight. Eventually it will.
Thank you!!! Tuned in in time to see Hoskins go yardTry this.

Or did I hit tune in from the beginning??
The Nats have gone from World Serirs Champions to an MLB embarrassment in less than 3 years. Not complaining though this weekend....
I was just texting about this with family. Playing so many games vs the Nats is a big advantage for the Phillies. If they hold the big lead tonight, they have Nola for a four game sweep tomorrow.
They wouldn’t realistically sweep many teams with a pulse over four games. These Nats are utterly checked out. They’re planning tee times in October and making family vacation plans.
Dave Martinez must have had a field day with that kid who saw his home run turn into a single when it went off the fence, Davey is a guy who scrapped to have a decent career and I can’t imagine how that one went after the game. Dumba$s.
He’s not a kid he played in the Phillies system in 2018 and put up great numbers. He just made his debut at age 30 after 10 years in the minors.
Marsh is a former top 10 prospect in the whole sport, he can’t hit much yet but they traded for him because he’s under cheap team control for 5 more years with an elite glove which they need because they play DH’s in every corner. Basically they committed to keeping CF cheap for the next half decade so they can spend big at SS this off-season. Will be shocked if one of Trae Turner/bogaerts/Correa isn’t manning SS for the next few years with Stott sliding back to second.
100 Agree. It seems almost certain that Turner is leaving LA to return to the East Coast. Plus, Harper loves Turner’s game. I can’t think of a guy who fits better into the Phillies lineup better than Turner as well.
During Hoskins' second at bat in the first inning I couldn't help but flashback to Von Hayes on June 11, 1985 when he became the first player in MLB history to hit two home runs in the first inning of the same game. I didn't see the telecast so maybe the fact was mentioned on air.
Turner isn’t the best defensive shortstop but he is so damn good offensively. Philly would have the best lineup outside of San Diego if he came.
Yeah I mentioned that the following day I think. The more I read about him, the more I liked it.
It’s a high upside deal. I’m sure the Angels see Moniak in the same vein, though he was never really an elite prospect after being drafted.
today's TV broadcast has been a joy to listen to. It's alumni weekend, and today they brought back a lot of alums and put a special emphasis on the 1980 World Series team. So throughout the broadcast, they've had a number of players from that team telling stories, conversing, etc.
So far they've had (and I'm probably forgetting a few):
- Steve Carlton
- Bob Boone
- Larry Bowa
- Del Unser
- Greg Gross
- Larry Christensen
- Greg Lusinski
- Pete Rose
- Reuben Amaro (was the bat boy that season)
Mike Schmidt tested positive for COVID this morning, so he had to miss the festivities.
And the Phils are up 7-1 in the bottom of the 7th. Nola was probably stunned with all the run support he's gotten.

I,was flipping through the dial and saw that. Suffice to say Pete Rose has no filter.
