Official 2017 Phillies Spring Training Thread

Nola scares me. He gets lit up every outing. Doubt if he wins 5 games this season.

I can't wait to bump this

Hey NE, check out my Ottoneu team I posted on the film thread. That's what you would've been up against.

Just heard the Phils traded Asher to the Orioles for a player to be named later. This opens a spot on the 40 man
roster. Maybe Stassi. Also, I think Asher will win more games for the Orioles than Nola does for the Phillies.

And you honestly think win's are a good evaluation of a player's performance?

Too early to toss the guy but 8.38 Nola may likely be just another David Buchanan, Tyler Cloyd, Ethan Martin, Aumont, Severino, or Pettibone. He stated he feels good after yesterday's blowout. These guys always feel good. Lurking must be an elbow chip held in check by pain killers.

Wow. The guy had the best ERA-FIP in the big leagues last year and you're ready to call him Phillipe Amounte?

Looks like it, but then again, maybe I missed the positives from yesterday's outing.

Phils were 1-6 against the Yankees this spring. What the matter, Mac?

Great story but the comment at the end is dead wrong.
"I am allowing myself to enjoy the lovely emotion of this roster move without thinking about the fact that the elder Stassi will likely see very little game action and almost certainly has a trip back to the minors in his future. I suggest you do the same."

Stassi is going to win Rookie of the Year......and it isn't even going to be close

Yeah, the writer, Emma Baccellieri, is an idiot. "....I suggest you do the same." WTF?

She lives and writes in Washington, D.C. and she's a pig. Swamp still undrained.

yes Emma he will see "very little game action", maybe a minute or two in the 4th period in blowout games........

I'm usually a fan of the double entendre , but for some reason, "drain her swamp" really doesn't sound that appealing to me
