- The #Phillies are 51-2 when leading through seven innings this season. They just added one of the game's true elite closers, who is 74-for-83 in career save opportunities. LFG!
00:00The Phillies have acquired right-handed pitcher Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed pitcher Mick Abel and minor league catcher Eduardo Tait.- #Phillies potential bullpen in the playoffs Closer: Jhoan Duran SU / Spec: Matt Strahm SU / Spec: Orion Kerkering SU / MRP: David Robertson MRP / Spec: Tanner Banks MRP / Long: Max Lazar MRP / Spec: Jesus Luzardo MRP: Andrew Painter? That will play in the postseason.
- To recap: Kwan: Price too high Robert: White Sox are idiots Cardinals trio: Won't be moved That left basically Mullins (decent bat, mostly bad fielder) Laureano (good bat, bad fielder) Bader (decent bat, good fielder) Call (meh bat, decent fielder) Meh.
- We don't nearly talk about how good Bobby Abreu was for the #Phillies. From 3/31/98 to 7/30/06, hitters to slash at least .300/.400/500. Bonds Ramirez Helton C. Jones Sheffield Abreu Players to slash .300/.400/.500 & 100+ SBs: Abreu
- Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait for an ELITE closer with two more years of control is an absolute steal Dave Dombrowski, take a bow.
- I apologize for the poor shot of my television but how is Duran not ranked?! Lmao.
- Reminder that writing off Andrew Painter in his first season back from Tommy John is very very silly to do.Andrew Painter’s day is done. He threw 90 pitches, 47 for strikes. Final line: 4IP, 5H, 5ER, 4BB, 4K.
- Important to remember the Phillies are adding D-Rob and then will be moving a starter into the pen eventually as well. Duran Strahm Kerk DRob Banks Is very solid. Will have Alvy for a month to end the season too.Dave Dombrowski said the Phillies are done with bullpen additions. They will continue to seek a possible outfield reinforcement before Thursday’s deadline.
- The Mets have been outscored by the Padres 13-2 since this tweet. Thank you for your service John.The Mets will be up 2.5 games on the Phillies if they win tonight. They are on a serious roll right now.
