Maybe we'll be like the Astros. Make the playoffs a year ahead of schedule, miss the playoffs the next, with the World Series the next.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I'd even pretend to be outraged if it came out a higher up at Liberty Media had a 30 year old sexual assault accusation in hopes of them getting the Donald Sterling treatment.

 

[Chewbaccer]

He's safe, but replay, you never know. Dansby is too fast to get doubled up on a play that requires two long throws.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Just realized Dan Winkler didn't make the team. He might not be Mariano Rivera, but he's better than Luke Jackson or Shane Carle.

 

[Chewbaccer]

God damn, Jess fucking Biddle had by far our best inning of relief this season.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Still waiting on Donaldson to do something productive.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Offense done gave up on this one. They know it doesn't matter what they do, the pen will just fuck them. Not worth wasted effort.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Just a matter of time.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn. I wish we had owners willing to spend.

 

[Chewbaccer]

This is gonna be the most disappointing season of my lifetime.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Fuck liberty media.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Charlie aint done shit all spring...put him in a real game and he is CLUTCH

 

[Mistaken4193]

Just get to Acuna with a man on and take our chances.

 

[Mistaken4193]

They gonna walk Ronald.

 

[Mistaken4193]

No,they pitching to him....PUT ONE IN THE SEATS RON!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

We deserve so much better than this.

Not asking much to win a game when you score 6 runs.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Looking like at least an 0-6 start to the season.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We'll get to lose back to back games on national tv tomorrow. We're the Sunday night game.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Who are the Philthies pitching tomorrow?

I almost (almost) feel bad for you guys with your FO's inability (or unwillingness) to spend money to get players. You guys won 90 games last year, have one of the best 3/4 lineup combo's in the league, have tons of really good to great prospects, and you guys' biggest acquisition is Josh Donaldson. I'm not saying you have to break the bank for Harper or Machado, but Patrick Corbin for example would have been a great addition. Any pitching help would have been great.

I have to think that you guys will sign both Kimbrel and Keuchel. Kimbrel obviously is a natural fit, and Keuchel is a good pitcher who has playoff and World Series experience who can eat innings who can probably be gotten for a relatively cheap asking price.

As is, I don't know that you guys are good enough to win the East this year (not saying that based off two games; I'm saying it based off of your roster). If you sign Kimbrel and Keuchel to eat some innings, you could probably be right around 1st/2nd/3rd place in July when you can trade some of your prospects for players.

But as is, I don't know that I'm buying Foltynewicz, Gausman, and Teheran; a terrible bullpen; and a good but not great offense to win the division.
