2025 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Chase Burns is gonna be good. Gotta take advantage of his inexperience now. He’ll be an ace sooner than later.
0 for 9 with RISP thru 6. They had 1st & 3rd with no out in the bottom of the 6th, and couldn't get a runner home. smh

Runners left in scoring position is going to be the epitaph of the 2025 Phillies
Ring It!!!
Never a doubt
Fightins win the series, 2-1
1 hit, complete game (12 Ks), for Wheeler.

It took 10 attempts but Stott finally broke the deadlock. What a game from Zach Wheeler! I’m not old enough to have seen Carlton in his prime, but Wheels has to be up there with Doc for most dominant Phillies starter in my lifetime.
Of the 9 teams with highest left in scoring position per game, 8 are currently playoff teams. Probably because they put more runners in scoring position. Hopefully for the phils, that will regress to the mean when it matters.
until then,a win is a win.
Burns was really impressive, and barring injuries, he'll be even better with a little more experience. He has some nasty stuff.
Yeah, he’s the real deal. I really like him.
It kind of sucks, but the NL has several SSs that are having great seasons. Lindor (Mets) was voted in as the starter. De La Cruz (Reds), Abrams (Nationals), and Perdomo (Arizona), in addition to Turner, all made great cases this season to be picked to the team. De La Cruz is the only one picked as a reserve for the All-Star team.
Yes. He was locked in today. The biggest mistake the Reds made was taking him out. The Phillies lineup had nothing for him. He located his pitches well, threw good heat, and changed speeds well. He’s good.
MLB drafts are never perfect, as not all prospects work out for the teams that draft them. That said, Burns showed evidence of why he was the #2 pick in the 2024 MLB draft.
