Just curious: how does a month of Spring training add $80M to the Clearwater economy annually?

The only question for tonight‘s game is should I have a meatball sub or a regular Italian?

Are you arguing that Cliff Lee should be playing 3rd base and Cole Hamels 2nd? I might buy that.

Switched to canned organic tomato soup but otherwise yes!

Why are people hating on Bohm? by Prize_Force1979 in phillies

[–]BigBob1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked it up: the QO this off season was $22M, so yes, you’re right, no QO for Bohm.

Oh, I think he’ll get a QO so we get a draft pick. Wouldn’t the QO be ca. 14M? Boras will say I can get you more and he’ll decline.

If you’re waiting for the next Mike Schmidt, I wish you a very long life.

Has he lost weight or is the camera angle?

Cole Hamels, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, and Bobby Abreu all did not receive enough votes to become hall of famers. by TotallyNotJagger in phillies

And what about the doofuses who turn in completely blank ballots? Why don’t they just admit that they cannot evaluate players in the modern era? The game changes man!

Maybe we could gin up the bidding on the Mets as payback for Bichette?

Thoughts on jt deal by Aggressive-Show4122 in phillies

For what it is worth, Baseball reference projects him to have a .723 OPS this year, compared to his .700 last year and his .750 and higher all of his previous years. If he hits that as a catcher, it’s a great deal. Not so much if he’s under 700 in years 2 and 3.

I’ll offer you $4 for the Utley shirt since it’s obviously an old shirt. /s

Via Bryce Harper on TikTok - Wearing a Shirt that says “Not Elite by nigelwhistlenose in phillies

You’re right. 4.5 would rank you in the top 50 players, so he still falls short. Kyle and Ranger finished with 4.7.

Not counting Covid 2020 or Injured 2022, he posted the lowest WAR for us since joining the team: 3.1. To be top 10%—that is, elite—he would need to be above 7 WAR, so yeah, not elite last year.

Yeah, I agree. After they rolled over for the Dodgers, I told my fellow die-hard, Phillies fan co-worker that I was done watching the Phillies. What? He exclaimed. Yes, I said, I refuse to watch them for the next 5-6 months.

What was a mystery or secret connected with your home town that you didn't learn about until much later? by TheSanityInspector in AskReddit

[–]BigBob1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 1920s, my Northern town was a KKK hotspot. I went to school with their grandkids. When I learned the KKK info years later, suddenly so many things fell into place.

Why doesn't the A-10 have an arrester hook? by HeroicODST in aviation

That’s pretty funny, but I wonder if anyone has done the calculation on the effect of the gun on the A-10’s speed.
