JMHO, but they need an OF who gets on base at a significantly higher clip than the current group. I vote "no" to another power bat that hits .200. They have plenty of those guys already. Hits, walks and steals, please. Oh, and a solid glove.

6-1 Phillies. Luzardo pitching well. I hate to see this game go to the pen but that's inevitable.

So, he's not cooked yet?
Once it came out that he was tipping pitches, most felt better about him getting back to a more normal groove.

Their starters are a real strength with depth and quality. It will be interesting to see whether they move someone for bullpen help.

Any plan for 2026 has to center around bringing up multiple prospects and hoping they stick.

I think Painter is slotted to replace Ranger in the rotation. I think they hope Crawford can stick in CF.

The Bohm-Miller dynamic will be interesting.

All told, I believe they have $60M-plus in expiring contracts. Schwarber is the one who will be murder to replace. They may need to cave and pay him quite a bit.

Ring It!!!

Fightins win 3-2 over the Blue Jays

Kepler with the solo HR in the bottom of the 8th provided the go-ahead win.

NL competitor for the wild card are getting themselves a pretty good player.
