Ultimately they will end up being what most of us think they will be: a team capable of winning 85-90 some games. Right now they're a bit injured and going through a funk. That's baseball though.
I honestly can't tell if the Phillies are any good or not. You'll be shocked to know the fixer thinks they stink.
good not great. will be in the race all year and will come down to how they do against the division teams and how they play in September. it's hard to say any of the teams in the division are definitely better than they are. I'd probably put the Mets 4th of the top 4. the other 3 i think are very close. If I had to rank them I'd probably say Braves, Phils, Nats, Mets but that could change next week.

I was high on the nats. Best starters, Rendon is so good, expect(ed) a big year from Soto. excited for Robles. Eaton is solid. They perpetually underachieve though.
I do think all 4 teams are similar though none of them are as good as I expected so far this year, granted its April. They all have holes so far.
I have watched a decent amount of the Phillies this year. Obviously not as much as any of you. I can’t peg them yet. One minute they look like they could be one of the best, the next they look like they could be a .500 team.
Nice Phills going with the '87(?) powder baby blue jerseys tonight

they do stink. can't win when you have one good pitcher and he's coming off a year where he maxed his previous inning total by something like 50.
lineup still has holes. mccutchen has been fine but he's already have knee issues. no depth whatsoever in the minors (thats what happens when you blow first round picks, some in the top 5, for a decade). for some reason team insists on playing hernandez at second over kingery, who is much better.
management has zero clue. team is already maxed out and they suck. also jake arrieta is the biggest douche philly has ever seen. I really can't stand that guy. blames everyone from the umps to his teammates to the phanatic - and never says shit about how he's nothing special. dude thinks he's bob gibson. I hate that shit -- you have a problem with harper, then tell him. don't tell the microphone. harper should kill him. what a pussy
I will never get over the fact that this team passed on machado and harper. and made their decision based on a fucking fan poll in a newspaper. you can't make up these levels of stupidity. I hate this franchise except for scott franzke. that guy is awesome and they refuse to listen to their fans and put him on tv so they can force feed us tits mcgee on tv. ass holes
at the end of the day music helps. I get to see this shit tomorrow in baltimore and sunday in philly. then later this summer opening for trampled by turtles at bottle and cork in dewey beach, which is gonna be insane. rest of 2019 is packed with great concerts. Is pearl jam still together or are they just printing vinyl w beyonce on the cover, doing frozen song covers, and making t-shirts? they gave up more obnoxiously than dolphins jay cutler. I hope I didn't just sound like bill simmons. damnit

Every street name in south philly
Bryce Harper's shtick to get you people to like him was much more embarrassing than it was endearing
Yes, and now it looks like we're correcting spelling as well, Cliff.
But also, fuck right off.
But a lot of awesome shows in philly coming up. Deer tick sunday. felice bros (at Johnny Brendas!!) in a couple of weeks. Jim James.
