@_kyle_frey Exactly. The bigger problem here is that Dave ignored glaring issues on the roster. The greatest manager of all time wouldn’t be able to make up for that.

I just want Phillies fans who want Topper gone to be honest with themselves. You want a manager who will be as angry and irrational as you are after singular losses. You think that will equate to winning, but it wouldn't.
It's not all of them, but a large majority for sure.

@kylebandujo @Cuervo_NJ Above average doesn’t really count for pitchers. Not a single SP in the hall that wasn’t great for nearly a decade straight
English
Santana being one and done on the HOF ballot is a travesty.
That Guy Rocked MLB@MLBGuyRocked
Johan Santana That guy rocked.

@JohnStolnis lol he hit 27 HRs with a .350 OBP in a down/injured year. This whole narrative that he sucked last year is crazy.
English
Ok cool, just play better, then.
Todd Zolecki@ToddZolecki
Did Bryce Harper’s “not elite” comments from Dave Dombrowski motivate him this offseason?
English
@johnrussell_34 @JohnStolnis They were a .500 team when he took over
English
@JohnStolnis I don’t think he’s been great.
But he took over a 66 win team.
Since
80 wins
81 wins
Covid
82 wins
87 wins
90 wins
95 wins
96 wins
Has he delivered a parade? No.
But this isn't the pergatory of the Royals / Reds type general manager. Every year we see progression.
English
Honestly, Dave Dombrowski's tenure in Philadelphia consists of moves that are completely unimaginative. There has not been much, if any, outside the box thinking. The Luzardo trade, maybe? Everything else has been very obvious.
English
@philly_squat @Brodes81 He was probably a better hitter than all our current outfielders combined lol
English
@Brodes81 Pat Burrell was a DH playing LF when the Phillies won in ‘08
English
You’re not winning a World Series with Brandon Marsh, Justin Crawford, and Adolis Garcia as your outfield

Age yourself by naming an NFL tight end you grew up watching.
I'll start, Chris Cooley.

@demcowboysfan I think he’s talking about the extension they gave him after winning the Super Bowl. I’m still fine with it but that’s what I’m pretty sure he’s asking about
English
"Was it a smart move to win a Super Bowl last year" is an such insane question to ask

I didn't think the Saquon Barkley signing last year would turn out how it did. The mileage, the injury history, and the price. It all seemed risky. Clearly, I was mistaken, as he had an amazing season with a great Eagles offensive line and a great offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore. But now, he's not only come back down to reality, he's actually underperforming. He's averaging just 3.9 yards per carry (ranked 29th in the league). And the Eagles just gave him a two-year, $41 million extension this offseason. Maybe those concerns I had a year ago are becoming legit concerns? I know everyone thinks every move Howie makes is genius, but I'm asking an honest question - do you think spending that kind of money for Barkley was a wise investment?
English
@nut_history Player A just based on those numbers. Also depends on OBP, stolen bases, defense, etc.
English
Would you rather have player A or player B?
Player A: 25 HRs and 300 avg
Player B: 40 HRs and 220 avg
English
@JebWilliams @SouthJerzySteve @trevorplouffe Of course he’s had a good career. I’m talking about this season.
English
@phillyphilly73 @SouthJerzySteve @trevorplouffe Nola has a sub 4 ERA in the playoffs for his career and has had big moments come playoffs. kerkering since the 23 NLCs has been god awful in ocotber. he has to go
English
Kerkering needs love right now. I felt that in my bones. I know Philly fans are furious but nobody feels worse than him, I guarantee that.
English
@SouthJerzySteve @trevorplouffe I did dumbass. He pitched two innings lol. Naming him as some great contributor to this season is ridiculous
English
@phillyphilly73 @trevorplouffe Say you didn’t watch the game yesterday.
English
@SouthJerzySteve @trevorplouffe Lmao Nola had a 6+ ERA this season
English
@trevorplouffe Fuck no bro….. Sanchez, Luzardo, Wheeler, and Nola need love. Kerkering isn’t built for the moment

15 years ago today: Roy Halladay’s playoff no hitter
English
Phillyphilly73 أُعيد تغريده
Roy Halladay had waited for this moment for 13 seasons.
His postseason debut #OTD in 2010 was a game for the ages as he threw a no-hitter for the @Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS. ow.ly/l2Qx50X70Vl

Yesterday my brother hit 20yrs of service time in MLB
I was 13 when he made his debut
I went through High school. Became a college athlete. Played 5 years professionally
Now I’m 33, getting married soon, and I cover the sport he still plays for a living
I’m so proud of him
English
@gerawaycar @Rav4thInning Because he actually is a former MVP and future hall of famer 😂
English
@LennyDykstra @Phillies Uhhh yeah. One guy has more HRs, walks a ton, and doesn’t play horrendous defense. But go on.
English
Hey @Phillies fans, couldn’t help but notice everyone has no problem getting on Casty, who’s tough, never gets hurt, and wants to play every inning of every season, but never the half a billion dollar man who’s hitting just 14 points above Nick. Is it cause he wears really cool cleats and tells you what you wanna hear? Please explain. Thank you

Schwarbs has been named NL Co-Player of the Week!

@PhilliesBell That’s wild for a DH outside of a guy like Ortiz
