The Brewers won 89 games last year and made the playoffs. With a few moves, good health, better coaching, the Phillies could hit that and get into the playoffs where anything is possible. Of course, that's a huge amount of question marks, and I wouldn't expect it, but then again, I wouldn't expect them to give up 16% of the Marlins total wins.

Not special Anthony Rendon was only 6th in wOBA in all of baseball this year and 4th in fWAR since the beginning of 2017.

Shadow - you are so uninformed about baseball it's comical.


1.010 OPS this year! Not special at all!

They're not even the worst in the National League in 2019

Something I hadn't heard: Girardi was chosen to deliver the news of Darryl Kile's death to the fans at Wrigley in 2002, when MacPhail was the Cubs' president

"It was clear that Joe was the choice," MacPhail said. "Joe has massive amounts of credibility with baseball fans and players."

nice job getting this done before the ws ends. still time before fa season starts to involve the new manager in choosing a new pitching coach who also appeals to g cole, assuming there is somehow like that out there somewhere. (is there?)

Can't say a Kawhi comparison didn't cross my mind earlier, as in Rendon bails if the Nats win because he got the championship and maybe feels less like he needs to stick around because of unfinished business or whatever.

On another note, Steaks threw out Hensley Meulens as a possible hitting coach candidate if he doesn't get the manager spot with the Giants.

I wonder how Cole got along with Ray Searage in Pittsburgh because Searage is available.

maybe he can go to DC and pick up Cole for a train ride to Philly when the Astros fail out.

Phils made it official. 3-year deal, club option for 2023

Press conference will probably be Monday on the World Series travel day

He’s, old, gray, and out-of-shape, so he’s gonna be great!
Fine. You wanna act like you're two? I'll act like I'm one.
