The Philadelphia Phillies cause me agony.

@DrewDalton48 @james192205 And I completely disagree with the point "no one is saying he’s amazing." Go scroll through the replies to my initial tweet -- several replies saying he was the Phillies' best hitter last year, or is a Top X OFer in baseball.

@DrewDalton48 @james192205 He played 300+ innings in left last year and had a negative DRS. You're proving my point bc you called him "Gold Glove caliber" -- when he's never won the award. I'm fine w/ the other points. but you are in fact over rating him when you attach unearned credentials to his name.

@DrewDalton48 @james192205 I mean, you're proving my point here. Marsh does not play "GG caliber defense." He's never won a GG and was a fairly average defender in left last year.

@DavidEsser_ @james192205 I mean, if you’re expecting a superstar I guess…2.4fWAR, 116 wRC+ and a .785 OPS and GG caliber defense in LF is pretty solid.

@DavidEsser_ This fanbase disrespects Marsh way too much

I trust Cotham to maximize Painter's potential, but it would be a mega bummer if his fastball never got back up to the 99/100mph range it was at pre-injury.

@psu7507 Average velocity topping out around 96-97. Was down to 94/95 by the third inning today.

I am officially #concerned about the Andrew Painter velocity stuff.

@CorpusCol I'm obviously not a professional baseball player, but I actually do think there is quite a bit more collective wear and tear playing in the majors compared to the minors. More games, more travel, longer seasons, facing higher velocity pitching, higher stress ABs, etc.

@DavidEsser_ I don’t think that there’s more wear and tear swinging the bat in MLB than in A, where most 19 year olds are.

My growing concern with Bryce Harper is that despite only being 33, he's entering his 15th MLB season. That's a lot of baseball. There's a chance the bat speed just isn't going to be the same anymore.

Both should likely go at this point, but Nurse being too stubborn to even attempt to get McCain into the rotation is a huge indictment on where he is as a coach. Had Nurse given him a chance, he likely doesn't get traded at all.

@DavidEsser_ Shouldn't it have been the writing on the wall for Morey, not Nurse? Morey has done absolutely nothing for the team.

I'm somewhat glad the Jared McCain thing has so quickly and clearly turned into a disaster for Philly because it might result in Nick Nurse getting canned.
