News of Phormer Phillies, 2024

Underslot so we could get Abel and the immortal Casey Martin.

Thought that was who we traded for the terrible relievers (along with Pivetta) in 2020 but that was his draft year. Coonrod, not memorable either.

Workman and Hembree. Workman previously was a 3rd round Phillies draftee in 2007 but whom they didn't sign after trying to nickle and dime him. There was some consternation her about that when he had a good three-year stretch out of the Red Sox bullpen from 2017-19.

Right I was confusing Carson Ragsdale with Connor Seabold.

Just like Moniak was an underslot to get Gowdy and Stobbe.

Just like Moniak was an underslot to get Gowdy and Stobbe.

Moniak draft year was a weird weird year. 1st round and supplemental.. 41 picks.. and only 1 player above 10 bWAR as of right now (Will Smith)

2nd and 3rd rounds, 8 players above 10 WAR including Brandon Marsh and Jesus Luzardo.

The guy drafted second overall and got the bigger bonus than Moniak has a -3.1 WAR and is playing in the Mexican League.

62 year old Jaime Moyer pitched last night for the Savannah Bananas. Looked like his fastball was about the same... lol

Charlie Morton DFAed by Detroit:

[andyb]

Looks like this was done so Morton could end his career this week in Atlanta.

Charlie Morton appreciates a final week with Braves, who suddenly can’t lose

[zambonir]

Broadcast just mentioned Abel is indeed back up w/ Twins and set to start Saturday.

[LoneStarPhan]

Glad we will see him in the series with the Twins.

Crawford a big part of the Mariners postseason success so far.

How J.P. Crawford, and a dose of reality, brought the Mariners to the verge of...

The Banana ball league announced two new teams and...

Mark Crocco will be the Coconuts' head coach. Shane Victorino, a former MLB World Series Champion, will also hold the new role of primetime coach.

The Indianapolis Clowns will be head-coached by Errick Fox. Former World Series Champion Ryan Howard will be the team's primetime coach.

Banana Ball is expanding. Two new teams join Savannah Bananas for 2026 season.

Seranthony warming up to pitch the top of the 8th with Jays down 2-1

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

He gave up hit, two walks, and an ER.

[zambonir]

but was previously 'untouchable" in the postseason in his career according to the announcers

[zambonir]

it's wild how many players in this series are guys we sometimes imagined the Phillies signing or trading for, as well as ex-Phillies.

[bkox]

but was previously 'untouchable" in the postseason in his career according to the announcers

Just looked and wow... they are kinda right. 0.86 ERA in 21 post season innings, WHIP of 0.952 and 30K

[EastFallowfield]

Seranthony

2022 postseason: 10 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 18 Ks. (Remember him allowing a run in the rain in the "Bedlam at the Bank" game, the other run allowed was in the World Series)

2023 postseason: 5 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 7 Ks.

Last year in one game for Baltimore 1.2 innings with no baserunners and 2 Ks.

This year before last night, 3 1/3 innings, no runs, no hits, 3 walks, 3 Ks.

[zambonir]

Yeah I knew he was good in '22 (he did blow the early save in that Padres game). I guess no one remembers him pitching well in '23 because the other guys didn't (by the NLCS anyway). It's too bad he just kind of faded out for us. Obviously he would have been in our Top 4 this year.
