Crazy idea, getting a really good contact hitter to hit behind three guys who tend to reach base a bunch.

You know how many cups of coffee I need to function? Zero. The possibility of Twitter’s death fuels my mornings.
106th GIDP in the career for Alec Bohm in his 828th career game, which means on average you’ve seen it once a week for 7 seasons.
Adding to the distinguished list of guys to wear #4.
Derek Hill putting together a mixtape that could make him look like a HOF player this year.
And I thought Drunk John Middleton would have the dumbest quote of the year.
You gotta admit, Aaron Nola has very good comedic timing.
What’s shocking is that the Phillies made it crystal clear really quickly that they were done for the day. Not even the most remote hint of a legitimate rumor on anyone after 10am.
Making a move that sets up Alec Bohm as a first baseman isn’t necessarily a move I’m in favor of.
When you hate transitioning so much that you refuse to get back on offense
Basketball Fan, of the Sixers and LeBron James lmao!@drewhamm5.bsky.social · 3d agoSorry, sorry, I’m trying to delete
This is probably exactly correct, down to the amnesty clause that’ll have to be put in a new CBA that includes a salary cap.
No Cartridge Trev@nocartridge.bsky.social · 3d agoOfficial stance is this is a psyop by the dodgers and the league to manufacture consent for a salary cap. Dodgers get to play villain and get the championships while providing every owner with a monster they can’t beat. Cap comes and they get amnestied for their terrible contracts and start fresh
Cooper DeJean walking with Morgan Wallen? That was the easiest layup in the world
Current vibes: Eagles (tiny gap) Sixers (Medium gap) Flyers (The depths of Hell) Phillies
As unprecedented as it may be, I’d be perfectly ok with firing Mattingly after this game.
Trading Orion in the offseason would have been best for everyone involved but hey, why think logically if you’re the Phillies?
Painter has been terrific tonight. Glad we burned a month of bullpen starts.
After 3+ years following SB 57 of a head down, keep it moving philosophy, it’s jarring to see Jalen Hurts telling married life anecdotes and participating in silly stuff the teams social media crew does.
Losing the alimony payment as Freddy Peralta gives up 7 in the 4th inning.

I understand why they hired him. I understand why they brought him in as an interim manager, and I also understand that a good amount of responsibility belongs to the players. That being said, he is a very stupid manager. Any number of us could do better, very easily.

The Phillies lineup cannot hurt me with LeBron James as a Sixer.
The salary cap breakdown of Jalen Carter’s new contract is hopefully the kind of Howie Special that makes media people mad again
LeBron James has officially signed his two-year, $8 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers with a player option -- plus a full 15% trade kicker, per sources.
Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 2w agoReporting for the 6p @SportsCenter on LeBron James deciding to play his 24th and potential 25th NBA seasons in Philadelphia:
He signed it. LeBron’s a Sixer. It really happened.
