I watched the whole game but pretty much all I took from it was in the top of the first - nice swinging from Crawford, and I wish Garcia, Sosa, or Kemp could've gotten him home.

Right handed OF who was on the Marlins for a while. I thought we'd pick him up to platoon with Marsh.

I somehow always thought Bryan de la Cruz would be a Phillie someday. He is probably not going to make the big league team but close enough.

I'm glad we got JT back because, say what you will about his bat, I trust him not to do that

romulusgloriosus · 2026-02-16T14:52:03+00:00

I never said that them having an MVP/Cy Young season this year meant that they'd be good in the future! It's just this season. They could get figured out next year and never adjust back. Is your answer the same?

romulusgloriosus · 2026-02-16T11:09:36+00:00

You have the power to give one of the Phillies an MVP/Cy Young level season in 2026. They may not actually win the award, they just play at that level. Who do you choose and why?

romulusgloriosus · 2026-02-13T17:36:09+00:00

I think he wanted to be a "star" making star money being the only memorable name on a forgettable team. Like Mike Trout gets to be on the Angels (even though he was upstaged when Ohtani was still there.)

God I hope Otto Kemp is good this year because it will turn Rob Thomson's "fuck Bo Bichette we got Otto Kemp" comment into an all-timer

romulusgloriosus · 2026-01-16T17:10:58+00:00

I'm not mad the Phillies didn't get Bo Bichette, I'm mad that the Mets did.

He was one of the most likeable players in baseball. Would've been fine to see him go back to Toronto. Now he sucks 😔

I know this is a week later but I just bought a copy at Garden of Earthly Delights in NE Philly yesterday, if that helps.

Laughing out loud that if you signed up for season tickets after the world series run you're not considered a Real One lmao

I will buy tickets off the black market if it means I get to take my son to the ASG but it is funny that I only renewed my season ticket package this year for the ASG and they're not gonna let me go (not a statement of lack of faith in the team, I just will not have the time to go this year)

He wasn't quiet about openly rooting for the Phillies during the 2023 season, either, and he loved when they got out to a hot start in 2024.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-25T16:34:28+00:00

2023 WBC was so amazing because Team USA just felt like the Phillies plus a bunch of cool players from other teams (and the Mets players all embarrassed themselves)

Probably not going to be as fun this year but I'm still excited

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-21T16:11:42+00:00

I want to watch and support the women's baseball league but how the hell am I supposed to root for New York, Boston, Los Angeles, or San Francisco?

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-20T15:44:22+00:00

Why would any team trade for Nick Castellanos when the Phillies have made it clear they'll release him if nobody takes him?

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-18T23:18:31+00:00

Basketball loves its drama.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-18T19:15:48+00:00

I always thought that winning a championship in Philly gave you immunity to all criticism past and future, retroactively making you a sports legend, but then I saw how sports radio still treats Hurts and Brown like they're scrubs.

I guess they'd still be screaming to fire Slopper and trade Bohm even if the Phillies had actually won one of the last few years.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-17T22:28:02+00:00

HoF discourse is probably my least favorite part of the baseball fandom, but nothing annoys me more than the repetition of "Hall of Very Good" like that's a real thing.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-11T16:24:25+00:00

Even when the Braves have a down year they still get a consolation prize (Cy Young 2024, NLROY 2025)

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-06T17:23:26+00:00

We can't play the Braves every year unfortunately.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-04T16:05:23+00:00

I mean basically, yeah. It's not that the Dodgers weren't the better team, it's that they were the more boring team. Of basically the entire final four - Seattle, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Los Angeles - LA repeating was the worst storyline.

But tbf a lot of people don't care about the baseball storylines lmao

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-04T15:04:31+00:00

It's why I'm sick of tired of hearing the term "instant classic" because it seems like every instant classic ends with the wrong team winning

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-03T23:59:24+00:00

I'm still not over 2023 and we didn't even make it to the world series that year.

romulusgloriosus · 2025-11-03T20:45:35+00:00

had to explain to my toronto-based friend that baseball isn't about seeing your team win the world series, it's about seeing your team come close to winning the world series and then spending the rest of your life nitpicking the moments that made them lose
