"This is just the beginning. We're starting something special right here. We're trying to go all the way. This is just a little taste of what it's going to be at the end." - Juan Soto with @SteveGelbs after the Mets' 8-0 win over the Nationals

@RaySchott4 @JackFritzWIP The only true bad contract is Nola.

Ray Schott@RaySchott4·6d

@JackFritzWIP I wish Dombrowski and Long went out the door as well. We need a complete fresh start. I'm afraid this is the beginning of a long struggle for this team to stay competitive due to contracts that they are locked into. It's going to be a long, rough road ahead IMO.

Season from Hell.

Alex Cora was offered the Philadelphia Phillies' managerial job before Don Mattingly, but declined. He has decided to spend time with his family.

What a terrible take.

John Stolnis@JohnStolnis

Of all the players the Phillies have signed to big contracts over the last three years, I feel like Trea Turner has the biggest gap between expectations/impact and what's been delivered.

I’m not even a Rob hater per se but no sense of urgency at this point is just unacceptable.

English

Fightins Central@FightinsCentral·25 Nis

That has to be the last straw for Rob. Painter never should’ve faced Michael Harris when he hit a wall three batters earlier.

16th ever major leaguer born in the Virgin Islands.

Philadelphia Phillies@Phillies

Prior to tonight’s game against the Atlanta Braves, the Phillies recalled RHP Alex McFarlane from double-A Reading. He will wear No. 71.

English

Fightins Central@FightinsCentral·23 Nis

Absolutely the right move. Taijuan is a great guy, a great teammate. Terrible pitcher but wish him well.

Philadelphia Phillies@Phillies

Prior to today’s game against the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies recalled RHP Nolan Hoffman from triple-A Lehigh Valley. To make room on the 26-man roster, RHP Alan Rangel was optioned to Lehigh Valley following last night’s game. Additionally, RHP Taijuan Walker was released.

Fightins Central@FightinsCentral·21 Nis

@CogginToboggan He paid for a pitcher who had a career ERA of 3.72 and the sixth-best pitching WAR in baseball since he made his debut at the time, and there were numerous suitors. The Braves offered one year and $12 million less. He was getting big money no matter the team.

English

CogginToboggan@CogginToboggan·21 Nis

@FightinsCentral Uhh no, they wouldn't. He completely panicked when he thought the Braves would swoop in and sign him and gave big-time money to an up-and-down older pitcher.

7 years, $172 million…..did anyone think that was a good idea outside of Dombrowski and Nola?

The Philadelphia Phillies are signing Korean RHP Chan-min Park, 17, to a 7-figure deal. Park (6-3, 205) is up to 94 and can really spin it. He’s got four pitches and a polished operation/strikes. FB, SL, CB, CH/SPL. Used the $500k for Griff McGarry to help get it done.

@woolford3387 @DavidEsser_ Of course it’s not true. David does not care

English

Sean Woolford@woolford3387·21 Nis

@DavidEsser_ I don’t think that’s true. They’ve tried to trade him the last two offseasons. They couldn’t find a team to take him last year and when they couldn’t get a replacement (Bo), they stopped shopping him (probably should’ve done it anyway). I think they knew

Bohm's hero run at the start of 2024 has done irreparable damage to the Phillies' internal roster construction philosophy. They have sat around for 2 years thinking that version of Bohm is going to magically reappear.

AT@BaseballWRLD_

I will never forget the insane things that were being said about Alec Bohm in April 2024 The first 29 games of 2024: 1.4 bWar The ENTIRE REST OF HIS CAREER in 710 games: 3.2 bWar

@mdelNBA Between the Flyers and Sixers in the playoffs + the NFL Draft, they're going to have a good week because mostly everyone has given up and won't care this week.

Matt del Rio@mdelNBA·20 Nis

Aaron Nola on the mound for what feels like the Phillies’ fifth consecutive make-or-break game? Nothing has ever felt more like an automatic loss that will hilariously be a win.

In The Alley Baseball Podcast@InTheAlleyPod

Aroon Escobar is currently slashing .268/.344/.393/.737 with 1 HR and 8 RBI If Bohm is still struggling come let’s say June 1st & Escobar is crushing AA. DFA Bohm & call up Escobar and ride the up & down roller coaster #Phillies #RingTheBell

I’m not worried about their record or where they are in the division since it’s April, but I am worried because I don’t see where the improvements in the offense are going to come from.
