2024 Phillies Thread

I knew Dahl would be sent down but I didn't see the DFA coming. Apparently going 0-10 with 9 strike outs in your last three games played has consequences. I thought maybe they'd keep him for minor league depth. OTOH, since he has prior major league experience the Phils may have cut him loose so he can try to catch on someplace else.
And just like that, the boys brought the boom sticks back out
I'd like to see Trea Turner's batting numbers since the great fan intervention last August. Dude has been a machine.
Funny you say that. I saw a story about it today on Twitter.
'The Ovation' did more for Trea Turner than just salvage his 2023 season
'The Ovation' set things in motion for the Phillies shortstop, and his success has carried beyond the 2023 season.

Probably the best move for him. He was really good earlier in his MLB career, but injuries have robbed him of some of his skills. The Phillies are looking at corner outfielders (reportedly). His leftie bat was working against him (in terms of being able to platoon with Marsh). But the biggest thing was that he didn't make the case that the Phils would be making a mistake to not keep him.
He would have been nice to be in the minors and called up if needed or in September. But he's looking to be on a MLB roster, so FA is probably the best move for him (though the rest of the league saw what he did while up with the Phils).
Jake McCarthy is a local guy, Scranton born and bred.
FWIW, the Dodgers have switched their starting pitcher for tonight. They had previously announced that it would Landon Knack (1-2, 2.86 ERA). Now they have switched it to Anthony Banda (1-1, 2:05 ERA).
With all the injuries they've had in their pitching staff, I give them credit for having as good a record as they do.
