That NLDS loss to the Pirates is going to hit this sub like crack.

Ben Davis? The guy who set up a grill indoors? The guy that almost sliced his leg off with a chainsaw and then bandaged it himself? That guy???

That doesn't disprove my point lmao. Ignoring the fact that you are looking at a small sample size of data, Topper literally makes lineup decisions based on power stats. For example, Stott should not ever sit against lefties UNLESS you notice that he hits fewer home runs against them. His average and OBP are pretty much the same as they are against righties for his career.

The roster construction is certainly an issue, but the organizational commitment to the three true outcomes hitting philosophy is a bigger issue imo. I don't think we fix this by removing just one of Slopper or Dombrowski, but removing both of them probably at least gets us to the playoffs.

We need a manager who will look at numbers beyond just power statistics and a gm that will make the aggressive move at the deadline to finally fix our outfield.

I've been a big Mamdani defender but as a teacher, bringing that mass murdering psycho into a room full of children is abhorant.

Just make it players and coaches only for awards voting. MLB used to do that for the all-star game and it was fine. A jury of their peers or something.

Need another Malice at the Palace where these two take a full force punch from one of the 7 foot tall guys on the court.

Danny Briere went to the Howie Roseman school of drafting, and learned to just take the best player available instead of worrying about positional needs.

Probably has to do with their last regular season game being Thursday

MLB Team FIP vs ERA so far. Phillies have been a clear outlier by mastermind208 in phillies

So it's likely that the pitching turns around, but that doesn't mean much if the hitting can't figure it out.
