Jfc to you
Your reading comprehension sucks .

Another poster said they got hot at the right time to even make the playoffs and I said they actually lost 13 of their last 20 games leading into the playoffs. They actually went in ice cold.

Phils don't even make the playoffs without the additional wild card. I just don't see much there to make me think they will be a perennial contender. Nothing against the nice run they had, I think making it to the World Series was beyond anyone's expectations.

I'm a homer, but Painter is the best pitching prospect in baseball.

To say that the current team plus some pitching prospects won't be good is just odd.

I don't disagree, but saying they were lucky to make the playoffs because of the last x number of games while Harper and Wheeler missed a lot of time is just a bad take.

You do realize that half of my quote involves you and the other half doesn't, right?

It's good for the Astros that they held on and won game 6. Bergman broke his finger in the 8th inning and wouldn't have been able to play in a game 7. Needless to say that would have been a huge advantage for the Phillies.

Everyone, but Murphy should be in.
