Considering Baty, Alvarez and Vientos are all terrible, Tong is lost, McLean struggled, and our “successes” have an OPS in the low .700s I’d say player development is one of the biggest failures of 2026. 

Benge and Ewing might disagree

Meh. One run. Needed more.

Benge Ewing and McLean might disagree. Ryan Clifford and Nick Morabito also by season end. I wasn't talking about Baty and Vientos 

Fixed it

Let's keep the Waggy heat on Alvarado.

Tenth appearance for AJ MInter since returning from labrum surgery.  No runs yet allowed.

We all need to tear our labra.

So maybe we tired this Duran guy out yesterday (he threw 17 pitches)

[Frayed Knot]

Or not.

Ending the game by swinging at a sweeper in the opposition batter's box is ... not propitious.

Strike 1 to Melendez was about a foot low as per the MLB app.  Mets had a challenge too…

[Edgy MD]

Bo Bichette, as hot as he was coming into the series, went 1-for-12 with no walks, no extra bases, no runs, no RBI and no stolen bases over the course of the three games. 

Also grounded into a double-play and made an error on defense.

to get thrashed so bad in these last two games is just devastating. A 2-of-3 would be so good for momentum but they come out and they are just not competitive.

The kind of losses that hasten the truck backing up. I mean, they may as well sell right now.

I imagine, if they find the market is where they like, they will do just that.

If that's the city of brotherly love, I don't want to be the brother of anyone in Philadelphia.
