Philly Ball Talk

@Tonybps12 @JackFritzWIP Ranger Suarez? Could definitely argue they developed Cris Sanchez even tho not drafted by the org. But Ranger definitely

@PhillyBallTalk @JackFritzWIP Not at all. Besides a couple middle relievers

Something to keep in mind for Andrew Painter. In Cole Hamels rookie season (age 22), after he threw 5 innings of shutout baseball in his debut, over his next 10 starts he pitched to a 6.57 ERA, allowed 10 HR, and 55 hits. He was also “untouchable” in trades and put on that pedestal just like Painter has. It just takes time.

@Tonybps12 @JackFritzWIP Surely you’re joking right

@JackFritzWIP Hamels was also the last solid pitcher the organization developed

@jnklein20 @BigDogTony9 @JackFritzWIP 2025 had a top 5 pitching staff in baseball = pitchers were just really good 2026 has bottom 5 pitching staff in baseball = he doesn’t know how to manage a pitching staff. Sound about right?

@BigDogTony9 @PhillyBallTalk @JackFritzWIP Who cares about literally any of that? No championship + plenty of chances = out of a job. He has no idea how to manage a pitching staff, and managing based on “vibes” in today’s game is idiotic.

Pulled off to the side of the road. First off, really bummed about Topper. A great dude, a great baseball man and would have loved a World Series to top off a great career. Second, I just don’t think Mattingly wants that job. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is a short-term fix while they interview Cora.

@jnklein20 @JackFritzWIP He’s not the one playing Jared. He’s not the one who didn’t get any free agents this offseason.

@JackFritzWIP How are you bummed? How? He didn’t win anything

@Pinstripe_hype @JeffPassan @MattGelb Unbelievable.

@JeffPassan @MattGelb Yet Kevin long is still employed????

The Philadelphia Phillies fired manager Rob Thomson, sources told ESPN. Don Mattingly will take over as interim manager. First on the news was @MattGelb.

@Tpars_boii @60_gees @lord_brunson No bullshit. Is Micah’s brother special needs? Genuinely asking.

@60_gees @lord_brunson Show me pussy Lmfaoo ima pray for you

Dick Eater. You watched twice as Jalen Hurts played in a game the team you rooted for can't get to. Then you watched your childhood team trade your brother because he's not a needle mover in the playoffs.

Dave Dombrowski is spineless.

@uncommoncurtiss If you had an annoying whiny ass girl in your ear all the time how would you feel if they ditched ya 😭

I wonder if Jalen is low key relieved/motivated by then trading AJ. We know he's a psycho like that lol

@jgarcia232 @TheGoodPhight You think shuffling around where certain players hit in the order is what is going to turn this season around?

@TheGoodPhight Or he could simply tweak the WHOLE lineup and not just 2 or 3 guys

Yes let’s can Rob Thomson the next manager should swing the bat much better than him

Haven’t been watching. Did it work?

Once again, this is not Taijuans fault. We Know what taijuan is. This is Dave’s fault for Being a spineless coward. #Phillies

Marsh you fucking idiot how do you not check in and find the ball. Fucking baseball 101

@larrybird16900 @roberttmendozaa It’s just the irony of calling a group of people “idiots” and you not knowing the difference between there, their, and they’re. My guess is you didn’t go to college considering the circumstances here.

@PhillyBallTalk @roberttmendozaa This isn’t a college essay pal . Go cry about it !

@BreidenFehoko We want good players to speak out. Not bum bitches like you two.

The Charles Omenihu hate on here is funny because everyone wants more players to speak out, but when they tell you what I've been saying for months, y'all's favorite line is "CTE."

@larrybird16900 @roberttmendozaa Their*

@roberttmendozaa Well your friends are the idiots . Hope they learned there lesson

Hey @StubHub don’t say your tickets are an aisle seat, if they aren’t a fuckin aisle seat. Thanks fam

@AdamSchefter Thanks Adam, we know man. We know. You guys report this every 2 hours

AJ Brown’s future in Philadelphia remains a topic of conversation, and in the meantime, the Eagles add another WR in Dontayvion Wicks from Green Bay. The belief remains that, if an AJ Brown trade were to happen, it would likely occur after June 1, when the cap burden would be more manageable for the Eagles.

@josephs24088506 @ah_pod I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I highly doubt that the game plan was to throw a sinker down the middle there.

@ah_pod Agree except for 1 caveat. At least start devers with something out of the zone. But no, we throw a ball straight down broadway.

that's game. not even Nola's fault. if this doodooass offense can't score 3 runs they deserve to lose.

These Phillies at bats are absolutely pathetic. I’d rather be at work than watching this game. #Phillies

Otto Kemp is fuckin brutal out there
