@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.

David Esser@DavidEsser_·4h

@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.

This is bad

John Clark@JClarkNBCS

The Phillies rookie centerfielder Justin Crawford says the biggest influence on him in spring training has been Brandon Marsh. He says Brandon has taken him under his wing. Justin says Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber have also been great dropping a lot of knowledge on him. Justin will make his MLB debut one week from today in the Phillies home opener.

@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.

Drew Dalton@DrewDalton48·8h

@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.

@james192205 The fanbase overrates him

@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.

For like the 5th year in a row, the Phillies are going to be in the market for outfield help at the trade deadline.

@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.

English

David Esser@DavidEsser_·13 Mar

@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.

Never a doubt.

Jeff Passan@JeffPassan

Aaron Nola is done, and he threw one of the best games of the WBC so far, shutting out Mexico through five innings. Italy leads, 5-0, and as long as the game does not go to the 13th inning, Team USA will survive and advance. If Italy wins, it's US-Canada in the quarterfinals.

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.

Robert Cronin@robertcroninesq

@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.

Cotham rocks. It's also extremely frustrating the lineup hasn't been good enough to maximize what's been a dominant couple years by the pitching.

Paul Hembekides (Hembo)@PaulHembo

The Phillies hired Caleb Cotham as their pitching coach in November 2020… Starting pitcher fWAR since 2021: 1. Phillies (89.1) 2. Dodgers (72.5) 15. Mariners (55.9) The gap from 1 to 2 is the same as 2 to 15. Very, very good at his job.

BREAKING: Left-hander Jesús Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a five-year contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Luzardo, 28, was set to become a free agent after this season. The new deal will begin in 2027 and locks up one of baseball’s best young arms.

My ERA predictions for the Phillies starters this season: Wheeler: 2.80-3.00 Luzardo: 2.70-3.00 Sánchez: 2.60-2.80 Nola: 3.80-4.00 Painter: 4-4.20
