Too bad the game didn't end after top 8. How can Ruben defend what he's done with Ruf & Asche? How is that a process?
Why Asche wasn't playing outfield from Day 1 of Spring Training this year was pretty dumb. They should have asked Ruben why he waited until May to actually get Asche playing time in the outfield. I can't believe their plan was to play him for a month and a half at 3rd then try him in left in the minors.
hard to blame the Phils too much on Ruf. He is a platoon player at this point. He is really not very good against Righties at this point. Maybe he gets it at some point like Werth did but so far hasn't shown he will consistently hit righties. hard to play a guy every day that can't hit righties.
There is no point for Nola still to be at Reading. He has dominated there. He needs to be at Lehigh Valley. i know the Phils probably don't want to bring him up this year because his service clock will start but if he dominates at Lehigh Valley and Hamels and/or Harang are traded how are they going to justify not bringing him up later in the season?

Because we're too dumb to understand the process!

Ryan Howard to St. Louis? Matt Adams out 3-4 months. would they have interest in Ryan? Local guy who has hit extremely well in Busch Stadium in his career. interesting to see if anything happens there.

i could see that possibly happening. Although it would be interesting to see who th Phills would get? Heard Wacca's name thrown around and an infielder?

Stop it. The Phillies would get one certified baseball by the commish and would have to play 85% of salary
If Amaro could turn Howard into wacha, the city of Philadelphia should line up to blow him. What they have in mark Reynolds is better than howard
During their 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, the St. Louis Cardinals lost first baseman Matt Adams to an injury, and according to MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch, the injury could keep Adams out for a while.
After the game, Matheny acknowledged that he has a "high level of concern" regarding the severity of the injury and the time it could cost Adams.
Adams pulled up just after rounding first base and hobbled to second for a one-out double while grabbing at the quad. Assistant athletic trainer Chris Conroy met Adams there and, after a brief consultation, ushered him back to the dugout.
Mark Reynolds entered the game and took over at first base for Adams. And right now, if the Cardinals don't make another move, it is Reynolds who would become the team's everyday first baseman. He is hitting .250/.314/.406 so far this year with three homers and 12 RBIs in 105 PAs, good for an fWAR of 0.5.
Adams, meanwhile, had struggled this year, hitting .243/.281/.374 with just four homers and 20 RBIs in 153 PAs, with an fWAR of 0.1. His wOBA was a meager .285 and his wRC+ was just 79.
Surely, St. Louis will ride with Reynolds for a little while and see how it goes. And with the pixie dust that is usually sprinkled upon that organization, he'll probably become a 3-win player and hit 30 homers.
But just in case he doesn't, the Phillies have the perfect solution to their problem.
That would be St. Louis native Ryan Howard.
Howard's resurgence this year has been well documented. He's batting .261/.304/.529 with 10 HRs and 24 RBIs, with a wOBA of .355 and a wRC+ of 124, worth 0.6 fWAR, already his highest total since 2011.
Since April 24th, Howard has been terrific, hitting .291/.333/.624 with all 10 homers hit during that span.
Even better, Howard has always loved hitting at Busch Stadium, posting a career 1.111 OPS there in 34 career games. The only park that he's done better in is Camden Yards, with a 1.326 OPS, however, he's only played three games there. His slash line playing in St. Louis is .341/.468/.643 with 11 career HRs.
And with Howard now a 10-5 guy, he can refuse any trade, but it's likely he'd accept a deal to go play in his home town for an organization that could get him into one more World Series.
Why would the Cardinals do it? Well, Adams would have to be out for more than just a few weeks. They would only make the move if it was a long-term injury. Their best minor league option is first baseman Xavier Scruggs, who is hitting .212/.360/.462 in AAA with 7 HRs in 164 PAs.
But it makes sense for St. Louis for two reasons. One, the Cardinals have been devoid of power for the last two years, finishing 29th out of 30 teams in homers last year with just 105. Only the Royals had less. They're a bit better this year, tied for 22nd in homers.
Two, it likely wouldn't cost the Cardinals much in terms of money or prospects. The Phils would likely pick up the vast majority of the approximately $50 million left on Howard's deal, and the Phils likely wouldn't be requiring a top prospect, although it's reasonable to assume a B-level prospect would be expected.
In the end, this probably won't get done. Howard still makes the most sense going to an American League team to be a designated hitter. But if there is one NL team that can deal with Howard's subpar defense at first in exchange for an uptick in power, it's St. Louis.
Keith Law has JP as the 4th best prospect in the game right now.
By all accounts they've drafted well these last couple years. They made out well with the Rollins trade. If they play their cards right with the Hamels trade, draft well again, and land this next Cuban kid....they should have a boat load of young talent as early as next year......some big "ifs" in there obviously. Haha
and another great Hamels pitching performance wasted no thanks to the offense. He must have one of the worst run support in baseball history.

there is no reason why North Jersey shouldn't have their own Casinos. As for Atlantic City the days of a high number of casinos and high revenues are never coming back. the faster they realize that and move on from that notion the better. Long term the best they can do for casinos is have 3-5 Borgata-type quality Casino properties. too many of the remaining structures have barely been upgraded in years and are not attractive properties to visit. Even sports gambling isn't a cure all because for that to be come legal the federal law is going to have to be overturned which is going to give every other state sports gambling as well. sports gambling revenues will help but it's no longer the save all fix. My opinion the one thing that can possibly help/save AC is the housing market. If they can somehow severely upgrade the housing areas (which unfortunately they haven't done at all since casino's arrived) they maybe the town can make a comeback. Housing market in some of the other south jersey beach markets are overpriced for the type of housing you are now getting. I doubt AC will make in roads there but the way some of the Philly neighborhoods have come back at least gives the hope that it's possible.
one off beat idea I thought was that instead of the state giving money to the Sixers for a practice facility in Camden they should have considered building an arena in Atlantic City and try to get them to move there. Josh Harris is a business man and not fully tied to Philly. I think he could have been talked into it with the right incentives.

The worst imaginable way to make more money for AC is to build more casinos. If north jersey wants casinos fine, but don't act like it will help AC when it will pretty much destroy it. Been there, done that. Simple supply and demand.
3-5 borgata type casinos? Seriously? Wasn't that the idea with revel? That's a pipe dream. There is obviously only a market for one borgata
yes. Revel was a clusterfuck from the beginning. It's was poorly designed as the they said the casino area was hard to get from other areas within the building and is such a monstrosity that it needs it's own electric power station which is causing the new owners huge problems already. it also had the worst timing as it's construction started right before the financial markets almost completely collapsed. that place was doomed from the beginning.
my point regarding the 3-5 Borgata types is other than the Borgata the other facilities have barely been upgraded since they were built in the late 70s. most of them are old tired buildings that need major overhauls.

Well, yeah, I agree that Revel was a disaster from the beginning and the timing was terrible, but the Borgata is/was hard to get to from other areas. I like both the Trop and Harrah's. I think they are both solid places that serve their purpose and seem to be doing okay. I just don't see another casino that can charge $500+ on weekends making it in AC.
The goal of Revel was to create a bigger market and that didn't happen, just like the goal of the North Jersey casinos would be to create a bigger market, which also isn't going to happen. You ever been to AC on the weekend? At least 80% North Jersey/NYC. Building casinos in North Jersey and giving money to AC as a subsidy is an awful awful idea. Not saying North Jersey shouldn't have casinos, though I think they are a terrible revenue stream for government, but to act like this will help AC is idiotic.

agree 100% that the idea of North Jersey casinos helping AC is idiotic. North Jersey casinos will lead to the closing of a few more AC casinos. Been awhile since I've been to AC. Just no point unless already down the shore or want to hit up the Borgata. Have stayed at Harrah's a few times and agree not a bad property but still needs some upgrades for the long term. and yes last time I was in AC was at last 80% New Yorkers.

Why Ryan Howard and the Cardinals are a perfect match

By all accounts they've drafted well these last couple years. They made out well with the Rollins trade. If they play their cards right with the Hamels trade, draft well again, and land this next Cuban kid....they should have a boat load of young talent as early as next year......some big "ifs" in there obviously. Haha

one off beat idea I thought was that instead of the state giving money to the Sixers for a practice facility in Camden they should have considered building an arena in Atlantic City and try to get them to move there. Josh Harris is a business man and not fully tied to Philly. I think he could have been talked into it with the right incentives.
my point regarding the 3-5 Borgata types is other than the Borgata the other facilities have barely been upgraded since they were built in the late 70s. most of them are old tired buildings that need major overhauls.
The goal of Revel was to create a bigger market and that didn't happen, just like the goal of the North Jersey casinos would be to create a bigger market, which also isn't going to happen. You ever been to AC on the weekend? At least 80% North Jersey/NYC. Building casinos in North Jersey and giving money to AC as a subsidy is an awful awful idea. Not saying North Jersey shouldn't have casinos, though I think they are a terrible revenue stream for government, but to act like this will help AC is idiotic.
