Powerchord (Pluto), we are not going to see one of those rings of your avatar fame for a long while.

The real problem with Kapler’s methods is that for a system which eliminates bunting and moving runners, you need a hitting crew that manages a BA much higher than .235. The Phils could easily have five more wins minimum in those close games where swinging for the fences was the main goal for the whole team every inning, and where leaving risp was the prime result. Fire Kapler!

Klentak and Flex says the team will hit better next year. But I doubt it. The extra strikeouts with runners on base will not go away.on its own. Plus if they get a super star it might drag him down as well.

The players have quit on Kapler and I would expect it is because they know he's an idiot and he needs to go. Good luck bringing in any quality FA's. Who would want to be a part of this circus.

I agree. But 40 million per year might temp any free agent just the same.

That would be stupid. Keeping this idiot would be stupid no matter how many tweaks he does.

With another loss today to the Bitches we have fallen all the way back to one-game above .500. Sad day indeed.

We’ll end it as a third place team.
Yes we will. Sad sad sad! No doubt, Hoskins will ever bat cleanup again. Flex tries to force people into roles that do not
use the best of their talents. Quinn in the back of the lineup etc.

I really wonder how the team feels about Kapler’s methods. We won’t learn that for quite a while.

One of the stat guys must have said "oh look, Hoskins hits better batting cleanup". He hit his thirty third homerun batting 4th last night. A lot of money paid to these guys and they just now figure it out! However Quinn still batted 9th.

Kapler has a closed mind. Unless he goes, Phils are done for years. Still trying to figure out Quinn batting ninth, mostly delaying his appearance till the third inning.

Damn straight Northeast and jvett. You guys have such a grasp of what is going on with this franchise that they should hire both of you to fix it. I would bet even money we would have a championship in two years or less if the dumbasses in the FO would do that.:thumb:
