The pros and cons of Mets potentially signing Pete Alonso
A market for Alonso has been slow to form, but to be fair, the position player market is still moving at a glacial pace.

Dodgers picked up Kim, Sasaki is next. Just give them the ring ain't no need to for them to play a single game, smh. @jack walsh13 and @jawnswoop i know yall gotta be feeling real butt hurt right now. Every NL team is just playing to be second.
And as always fuck the Phillies !!!
And as always fuck the Phillies !!!
I really don't feel shit, I pretty much know the situation and hole my phillies were in. So, you really aren't saying nothing that I already know. When your team mismanage their money overpaying players that aren't a fit, don't get a good reliver pitcher and players who have a meltdown nor are they consistent batters along with a dumb ass GM who doesn't know how to make the right moves and trying to trade some garbage pieces that no team in the MLB wants is the results we as phillies fans have to deal with.
Yeah you're right about the pitching but they still didn't make trades for bohm.Fuck the Dodgers. It's still wide open for anyone to take it. My Phillies did one thing right in the offseason and that's add starting pitching depth. We gon be right there bruh. I ain't conceding shit to the Dodgers. In sports it often goes the other way. So let's get it on!!
I agree, but the batters is still a concern.HUGE pickup bruh. He's healthy and ready to go!!!
The pitching seems to be solved.
Dumb ass Thompson needs to move Schwarber from leadoff and put Turner there. Stop fuckin around doing dumb shit
Cause they overvalued Bohm. Everybody else wasn't fuckin with him like that cause he has questions still defensively. So I'm cool with him staying. Hopefully he matures in the field and gets even better at the plate. He's still young so he can grow
I hope so, this should lit a fire under him. It should make him want to play better and prove he's valuable for the Team.Cause they overvalued Bohm.

I can dig being from Chicago and a Cubs fan I have felt that pain for damn near a half a century.

Wide open is a mighty bold statement, they signed Snell, Ohtani will pitch next year and Sasaki will more than likely be a Dodger. They may possibly have the best rotation in the history of baseball. The chips are stacked against the NL.
Not really. Phillies rotation matches up well with them with Wheeler, Nola, Sanchez, Suarez, Luzardo and don't forget Andrew Painter is making his debut hitting 100mph on the gun. That's a killer rotation right there bruh. Seattle actually has a better rotation than the Dodgers but nobody wants to talk about that. Remember this, injuries change everything. Dodgers don't have a lot of depth and that will show. That's not talked about on ESPN. Also, the Padres, D-Backs, Braves, Mets, Phillies and there will be one or two surprise teams that will contend (Reds, Cubs) don't give two fucks about the Dodgers. Let's get it. Bookmark my words. Nationals will be a lot better than people think as well. Those younger players who nobody is paying attention to will start paying off.

During the where will Ohtani go debate, I said I thought SD was a piece away. I agree all the teams that you mentioned will compete, I just don't see any one of them beating LA is a series. Yamamoto, snell, Glasnow, ohtani, sasaki will be a legit 5 man ace rotation.
You have a point tho, healthy is important
In a five game series anything can happen. Remember the division round is 5 games. Last few years when my Phillies beat the Braves in the playoffs all the experts swore the Braves would win. How'd that work out. Dodgers will not repeat as champions. I don't give a fuck how it looks on paper
We've seen in almost every sport how teams stack the deck with big names to not repeat as champions after all the moves they made that they had to trade everyone because shit backfired.In a five game series anything can happen.

Fuck the dodgers because nobody should be scared of them. That team can be beaten as well. The teams people overlook usually be the surprise team that end up winning or going to the world series. I do think the phillies can be good this tear, hopefully everyone had time to reflect on what went wrong to improve and play better. Middleton couldn't make no big moves because his hands is tied from all the big moves he already made the last few years.
Yes. A lot is going to hinge on Castellanos play. His bat is vital to this lineup. Can't have this nigga swinging at 15 foot sliders out of the zone. His plate discipline is absolutely fuckin ridiculous at times. Thompson gotta stop with the analytical bullshit too. Move Schwarber out of the leadoff spot and put him 4th or 5th. He will get 30 more R.B.I's there because there will be men on base when he hits homeruns. Muthafucka clogs up the bases leading off as well like a fat bitch at Buffalo Wild Wings.

200 + strike outs a season is not a state you want from your lead off.
As you should.
You better hope and pray truth or turd don't pick the Phils to win the series tho.
Don't make me have to tie you up in the closet with bullet because you know I'm in philly and @jack walsh13 is in jersey.As you should.

Good guy and a good player. Lenny wasn't known to take any BS, on the field or off. I remember him putting his own manager in the emergency room for disparaging him in the papers and starting a rookie in his place. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Right on time.
