The Phillies are the Browns of baseball. This is garbage. Well, let's not go that far. ... at least we won a championship within the last decade.

Pretty interesting day in baseball:
Most Grand Slams ever in a single day (7). Albert Pujols hits career HR #600 (one of the 7 Slams). First no-no of the year (Edinson Volquez against the D'Backs). Jon Lester actually picked someone off. And the rarest of all feats: the Phillies win in Ben Lively's debut.

Considering they're talking about demoting Franco and Herrera, and Eickhoff has massively regressed, yeah, it's pretty sad.

4 HR game from Scooter Gennett today. 17th player in history to do so, and the first since Josh Hamilton in 2012.

9/15 teams below .500, wow.

A Phillies winning streak is like a deer; the slightest noise could spook it and send it flying into traffic.

Time to DL Tanaka. Even if he's not hurt, just say dead arm or groin pull.....just take 2 weeks for him to clear his head, maybe work out his mechanics if this is what the problem is.
Get Chance Adams up to the main roster. I've been saying for years they should go with a 6 man rotation anyway, because Tanaka only seems to pitch well with extra rest, but the Yankees seem to just want to roll him out there to be a home run factory.

Went to the Nats game last night against Texas. We lost. Got my Tanner Roark bobble head though.

really liking this Montgomery kid. he's not going out and getting shelled every week, being a rookie that's easy to do. he seems to have control of his "Stuff". never really had a bad game. is he a cy young winner? probably not, but a solid late-half rotation guy? they might have something here, hell he could end up the Mussina type....like good enough, but not a HOFer

Cubs looking horrible lately. I keep seeing wins and start thinking that they're gonna turn it around. Nice to see a few dongs today, but i'm still unsure how pitching is going to hold up.
I hope the Addison Russell domestic abuse thing is fake too.

Adam Morgan must have some good incriminating photos to keep himself on this team.

He bends, but doesn't break. He gets that DP, that K, whatever he needs when he's in that jam to escape. He's not going to be perfect, nobody is, but he's always limited the damage. In situations where he could give up 5, maybe he holds them to 2. He just seems to be able to not let the situation get out of control. He obviously is talented, but he's got the mental focus and poise to stop the bleeding when he's in trouble. I like him. I hope he's in that rotation for 10+ years. This team is just amazing. If we can somehow get Tanaka going and Bird comes back and gets hot....your only real under-performer will be Headley...but in that lineup, he's not going to make or break you. And I never want to see a guy get hurt or stay hurt....but I don't care if Ellsbury ever comes back. Hicks is incredible as an everyday player. I don't even need to say anything about Aaron Judge. They should start artificially inseminating women with his DNA so we can have an army of him.

They should start artificially inseminating women with his DNA so we can have an army of him. you know whats funny....Ellsbury was actually playing pretty good this year, like, he was hitting for average. but you'd never notice because he's just not that type of player. and it was looking like he might actually have a season worth paying him for...aaaaaaand then surprise, he gets hurt again im loving the way this team is gel-ing right now, i fear that ellsbury is going to just throw a wrench in the whole thing. i never wanted that guy from the get, i wish cashman could figure out a way to ship him off to another team who needs an injury-prone outfielder. now concussions are nothing to mess with, guys are really getting messed up by them, and its not like they desperately are missing ellsbury's bat or fielding. i think even bird coming back and not being hot is better than Carter. that dude looks like he gives ZERO s, every AB and he's not even hitting home runs!
