2023 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
This is the roster that Dombrowski built. They have little clutch hitting or run generation without hitting HRs.
The compounding issue this year is that they’re getting very little from the stars to this point, particularly Turner, Harper and Realmuto. That needs to change for them to do anything in the playoffs.
I would prefer to see the Fightins ranked higher.

From 1-30, MLB Pipeline ranks each club's farm system
Ranking farm systems -- comparing groups of a couple hundred prospects in 30 different organizations -- is, at best, a mostly subjective exercise, and at worst, all but impossible to do well. Yet the teams that place near the top in MLB Pipeline's biannual rankings almost always parlay their...

Phils bats were suddenly resurrected. Nola's pitching was, well, inconsistent. A win is a win, and we'll take it.

Me and 16-20 of my fellow Officers will be tailgating from 2 til gametime on Monday. We got a suite. I've never done that before. Can't wait!
Frustrating loss. They need to be winning games against teams like the Nats, especially when they have a big lead. smh

Have fun. I’ve sat in a suite twice at CBP and felt like a king. It’s a great time. Enjoy!!
Nice to see the bats come alive today, after Friday nite's frustrating loss.
I’m hoping Turner really heats up down the stretch. He has the ability to do that and really carry them.
MLB did the Phils no favors playing this game in Williamsport. It was a marketing day for MLB and nothing more. All the focus was on the Phils, Nats playing with house money. Sure, all the interactions with the kids were priceless, but I would bet if they played this at Nats Park at 1:40, the results would be slightly different.
Does anyone remember the last time the Phils played in Williamsport, 2018? I swear they were promoting Scotty Jetpacks as the next Utley.

One of the teams will always be an east coast team from a city within a short flying distance. PHL, PIT, WAS, BAL, NYM, NYY, CLE, TOR for starters. It has to be that way to minimize travel for the involved teams coming from whichever of the above cities the series started. OTOH, MLB could do a better job of working the schedule so a larger variety of other teams are involved.
View from our suite tonight.

First inning certainly sucked for him and he has a knack for giving up the solo bomb. His pitch count started on the bad side but he finished with 100 pitches in seven innings. Nice rebound from a rough first. OTOH, I cringe whenever Covey enters a game. Good thing he inherited an eight run lead.
And what's up with Joc Pederson?? I haven't seen him for awhile and he's really ballooned up. Doesn't look like muscle either.
Imagine if Pederson was still wearing the string of pearls when he batted?!!! What a dork
Kruk called last night's second deck Schwarbomb the pitch before it happened (like T Romo predicts plays before they happen). I'm sure the tweet clip in on NBC Sports Philly as well.
Your description of what Kruk said on the TV coverage is correct. Unfortunately, a clip of it is not on NBC Sports Philadelphia. The closest is a clip of the HR, and at the very beginning of the clip you can hear Tom McCarthy (the play-by-play announcer on TV) say "there you go, John," which is in reference to what Kruk had just said.
Yeah, the Inky story has the entire clip, and maybe it's floating around elsewhere. The Inky story had it, but their paywall can be tough to get around sometimes.
