    They should hire Bruce Bochy.

    I wonder if they'll just give it to Dusty Wathan, since it seemed like all the players like him.

    Edit--Dave, yeah I don't know. Don't care either way, but I guess it is odd that we don't have a team. 
    Feel the same way, don't care too much, but it is kinda odd that we don't

    I think it's time to get rid of Giradi now. Or something has to be done with this team ASAP!


    well i'll take cred for that :smile:

    Girardi had some baffling moments and was pretty smug about defending his moves. Change for change sake can help sometimes so don't mind the move. That being said the bullpen arms still mostly suck and what is killing this team. They have to figure something out there. 

    The grand scheme is that this teams complete lack of developing of talent kills them year after year.  1 decent arm in the bullpen from their system, 1 starter and average to below average position players from their farm system.  If they ever want any sustain of success they have to figure this out.  

    Schedule has been absolutely brutal so far though.  I saw a note the other day that there is a stretch in I think July-August where they play 39 games and the 7 against the Mets are the only ones against teams with winning records.  They have played very few games against bad teams so far.  

    hot take: they still make the final wild card

    I think they have been underspending on the farm system, even compared to the Tampa Bay Rays - I mean remember when they wouldn't pay Davey Lopes like $10,000 more for coaching 1B and helping the team to like a 95% stolen base percentage. I don't have back up for that, but I feel they have been penny wise pound foolish.

    Imo it all comes back to a sports team's greatest competitive (dis)advantage is ownership. From all accounts they have no idea how to lay out a vision, be consistent, and stick to a plan when it comes to investing in ...anything. Sure Middleton throws money at high profile names, and that's cool, but they've basically overhauled their philosophy to player development, roster building, and analytics every other year. Talk about a true waste of money. It's especially comical how bad they are at the draft.

    Hearing from multiple people that know a lot better than me that Philly won it's bid for some FIFA World Cup action in '26. That's cool and not cool at the same time. Down at FDR they built out some pretty awesome trails and there's a good chance they're going to destroy them all for 8 soccer fields because there's a requirement to have practice space or some dumb stuff. Don't understand why they can't, ya know, just us all the infrastructure that's everywhere else around here.
    uh…..who cares? it’s fucking soccer.

    Someone slashed my brother's tire at his apartment a few days ago and he filed a police report about it today with the Easttown Police Dept.

    Yeah, I don't know. He lives in one of those brand new swanky apartment buildings that are popping up everywhere too. So, not the tv show version of Easttown. lol

    Great win.  Two homers against Hader are you kidding me. 

    And Knebel is the most average pitcher we’ve ever had as a closer.
