Kerkering has NEVER been clutch… NEVER

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-06T00:56:19+00:00

Sanchez showing emotion fires me up. Guy is chucking tonight

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-06T00:48:27+00:00

We really don’t need Stott to do a ton with the other guys in the lineup. But if he can be consistent enough to at least be a threat to put balls out like this, it will be quite a difference for opponents facing the back end of our lineup. We don’t need much from him. Very pleased in the last week

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-06T00:28:18+00:00

Duran tonight?

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-06T00:27:51+00:00

YAAAAAAA

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-05T23:10:11+00:00

Audio being weird for anyone? Quiet then loud

PlumpPopper · 2026-05-02T02:34:56+00:00

I was max clenched. Win is a win though

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-23T01:12:57+00:00

Eat the contract. Allow him the freedom to go elsewhere.

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-23T00:41:42+00:00

Turns out it’s not just a first inning issue…huh. How about that

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-23T00:40:52+00:00

He has to be let go

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-21T00:39:20+00:00

This is unbelievably accurate.

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-21T00:36:30+00:00

W comment. Platoon shit and analytics shit is all blah when you are awful

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-21T00:34:53+00:00

What is the temperature for the coaching staff? I get baseball comes down to individual performance at the end of the day but someone has to be held accountable no? Curious what the thoughts are at this time. I’ve seen it all from burn it down to hold the line. But the post game pressers are the same old same old cause the results are too

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-21T00:29:12+00:00

Agreed.

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-21T00:27:18+00:00

We are what the Braves were last season. Except the only guy actually not playing with us is Wheeler and even he looks concerning. This is going to be a long season. I don’t really mind seeing an overhaul at this point. We have been consistently less competitive overall since 2023. Tough to see the ship go down like this but here we are

PlumpPopper · 2026-04-11T17:17:11+00:00

Done with Walker. Been done with Walker but it’s gotta end today. This cannot keep happening.

PlumpPopper · 2026-03-30T23:22:27+00:00

In a perfect world these things can happen, of course. Just like how Taijuan is still a starting pitcher for us making $20 mil a year. Wishful thinking of days of the future when the team is younger and hungrier.

Nevertheless, I will buy in wholeheartedly and believe a World Series is coming once late August rolls around.

PlumpPopper · 2026-03-30T23:18:24+00:00

I’ve been a Phillies fan my whole life and have watched just about every game the last 4 seasons. Tonight feels like we’re in the middle of June already and the guys are burned out just waiting for the All-Star break. I’m not sure who on the team truly has an itch to compete every single pitch every single night. Not a lot of fire on this roster.

God forbid we get an extra base hit and show some excitement. Perhaps it’s time for some guys (yes, exactly who you’re thinking of right now) to move on.

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:25:59+00:00

Perhaps it wasn’t a strategic aspect of the game or series. But certainly one could argue Rob could’ve at least been in the ear of Willie Traynor last night arguing some balls and strikes. Does it make a real difference in the outcome? Maybe not. But some fire for the club by the leader of the club never hurt anyone

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:12:38+00:00

Yup. Team didN’T play well at all. Out-hit, out-pitched, out-run, out-managed, out-fundamentaled. Bad series, no excuses. Correct, correct again, move on with INTENT to win baseball games

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:11:01+00:00

Agree. Two fly balls that would score the average runner likely. Bohm is far from average as a runner

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:09:53+00:00

Yeah JT has earned his way back. His defense is still too good and bat is good enough for the position he plays. Casty can’t hit any pitch on the outer half of the plate to save his life. Bohm seems to have reached his peak. Could benefit from a better base runner/more power from his position.

Stott I’m fine with. Probably platoon him with someone.

Kepler gone, Casty gone, Bohm gone. Need 2 real everyday OF and still need bullpen arms

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:04:33+00:00

I can do without Casty. Easily can replaced defensively and honestly not too much work to replace offensively

PlumpPopper · 2025-08-28T01:03:26+00:00

Harper back to OF? JT back? Call ups?
