Frenchy gets a lot of flack (his Acuna comments notwithstanding). But he’s by far the best color guy we’ve had in awhile.

Batting avg as a metric is outdated and not valued like it once was.
To some.
But watching your 4 hole hitter miss a 92 MPH fastball center cut with runners on 2nd and 3rd will make you appreciate BA much more.
BUT HE EARNED A WALK. So yeah, bases now loaded and the next guy hits into a double play.
Batting average will always be important.
ETA: I don't agree with moving the mound back. Especially 5 feet.

I guess beggars can’t be choosers but would still like more than one run when you have bases loaded no outs.

Different way to lose every single day.

Is it just me or is Luke Williams always up in crucial situations.

Torn on Harris because his hitting has not been great but his defense is worth keeping.
He falls into the Arcia category. Worth keeping around as a 9 hole hitter for his defense if everyone else is hitting. But as we see, that's not the case. Hard to want to keep a guy for defense when we can't score runs and he's swinging at anything within a 2 mile radius.

Funny thing is, he came out and said he wasn't even talking about Tennessee. He was talking about Florida, FSU, and Georgia.
But if Tennessee players were some of the ones playing with their shirts untucked showing off their waxed chests, then I fully agree with him.

I’m not seeing where the Derosa love is coming from.

Harris swings at ball 2 and ball 3 to strike out. Hate to see it.

Not that I don’t agree with a managerial change but what on earth could he have done to prevent our trash bags from striking out 3 straight times with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

Drake needs to request a trade. He’s going to get afflicted with the same virus as the other unclutch hitters the longer he stays around.

I think the rest of the league just figured out what the Phillies knew as far as their strategy to pitch to those players
throw 93 mph center cut fastballs for them to swing through or not swing at all?

Byrd talking about how well Stridor throws his fastball and gets interrupted by a ground rule double off his fastball.
Can’t make this up.

Deja vu to when I was 10 and expected a loss everyday. Would never have predicted this in 2023.
