Seriously. Lame as hell.

Really liked watching the guy play, all through his career. Will be tough to replace him. Dude was doing everything he was asked to do.

Andrew McCutchen Out For Season With Torn ACL

eh that sux

Guess who else is done? Bryce Harper.

Fugger makes 90 gazillion dollars. He should be hitting .400 and have 45 HR's by now. No excuse

This is the kind of shit the Phillies appear to be caught-up in the last five or six years or so it seems. Here it is again. Is there any connection between the FO whiffing on two good pitchers that could have solidified our erratic pitching staff, the sustaining of our present worst losing streak of this season, and the loss of McCutcheon for the year?

I don't have much hard-core proof that there is a verifiable connection but just like in NASCAR where cautions breed more of them, I believe that we are not pro-active enough in creating a dominating franchise WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF and then that filters back into one disaster after another.

I hope I am wrong on this belief but I see similarities emerging from losing seasons of the past that just bite us in the ass at the wrong time and it seems to happen every year when we are promised with a new serving of hope.

What a damn shame. As has already been said, he did everything expected and more.

The addition of Bruce should help some judging from tonight’s effort with two homers. But the lost OBP will hurt. The gods are against us.

Problematic times for sure, retro, but the optimist in me says it’s just too early to give up on the Phils. We’ll put together a good homestand or two and recover.

Cutch got hurt because they didn't sign Dallas or Kimbrel? I think you lost me there.

 

[Retroram52]

I was thinking the same thing Taddy!

 

[Retroram52]

Here is one article's 8 guys we should go after to help the outfield. Why we didn't sign to good pitchers when they were available is still a mystery.

Andrew McCutchen out for the season: Examining eight trade scenarios for the Phillies ahead of the deadline

I actually like this Baseley kid. The Phillies need to draft more college guys like him instead of guys like Mickey Moniak that take 8 years to develop. And Bruce should rack up some home runs at CBP.
