Phillies 2021 season thread

Harper has done little, in my opinion, for all the damn money we gave this fragile dude.

If Galvis and Kennedy actually consistently do well, I'll consider the level of dumpster-diving quality of these trades to be somewhat less than when I first saw what the Phillies/Dildoes were up to at the trade deadline.

Agreed. We should do much better with Suarez and Gibson added to the rotation with Wheeler, Nola, and Eflin (if). The only problems we'll have to solve then are inconsistent hitting and relief. I'm hopeful.

At least the guy heals well. Plus his .302/.414/.546 and 2.5 WAR ain't too shabby. Just gotta hope he avoids the serious injuries.

Holy shit, was the Phillies plan really to make Ian Kennedy their closer? This can't possibly end well

Phils clutch hitting in top of 9th produces 7-3 lead. Newcomer reliever Kennedy trying to give it up in bottom of 9th. Now 7-5.

Kennedy pulls it out. Phils 2-1/2 out since Mets lost.

RELIEF pitching is still our weakness!

 

[Retroram52]

And what really bothers me, Northeast is it appears the Phillies did nothing to go after any of the pitching talent in the Cubs' firesale before the deadline. They just sat idly by spanking their collective monkies and nothing was done or so it seems.

 

[Retroram52]

We are back to .500 and 2.5 back of the Mutts with their two consecutive losses. Maybe, just maybe.

Nice win. GO PHILLIES!

 

[Cedrique]

1 1/2 back. Suck it, Mets!

 

[Cedrique]

wait, are you the guy that said that Gabe Kapler couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag?
PONED!

Nah man, you're misremembering. You were the one getting PONED. I was too busy getting STONED.

(and also, OWNED by your mom)

We need to sweep the next two against the Nats before taking on the Mutts and Dodgers at home.

Going to be tough without a closer. Kennedy sucks!

But we have Neris!

The Dodgers signed Cole Hamels as well. Apparently Hamels can still get it done and we got rid of the dude for what reason again?
