If Bohm isn't playing 3rd, it should be Sosa. End of story. If you want Wilson in the lineup that badly, then sit Mr. Strikeout (Marsh) or Rojas.
#Phillies
Cristian Pache's career OPS of .509 ranks 5,429th out of 5,475
#MLB
position players to ever make 500+ plate appearances. He is historically awful, yet continues to find himself in the
#Phillies
starting lineup. Make it stop!
#RingTheBell
This game sucked. This season has largely sucked. Don't tell me it's only 6 games. They're supposed to be better. They're supposed to be a top tier team with World Series aspirations.
#RingTheBell
@JohnStolnis
The elephant in the room is his defense. He is error prone and almost all defensive metrics think he's bad. He needs to be moved off of SS this season. 2B, LF, or CF could be options.
Braves fans crying about losing 1st place and making excuses like "We're missing Strider", "We don't have Sean Murphy". Yeah, and we don't have Dylan Covey, what's your point?!
#Phillies
#RingTheBell
In
#MLB
history 5,474 position players have made at least 500 plate appearances. Cristian Pache's .515 OPS ranks 5,414th all-time. Let that sink in. A team with World Series aspirations has employed one of the worst hitters in the history of the game the entire season.

@JohnStolnis
Realmuto got old in a hurry. His speed is down, defense has slipped, he's not driving the ball. Yes, I understand he had knee surgery, but he's not been anywhere close to his standards all season. I worry this is him moving forward, and he has a ridiculous contract for a catcher.
@PhilliesNation
I'm not a Bohm hater. I'm not a Bohm lover. He's okay. Not bad, not good. I just hope the Phillies don't extend him. He's likely to never hit for power, his defense has probably plateaued, and we have Aiden Miller in the minors.
@JohnStolnis
If they're all out, the division lead is as good as gone. It's not like they've been playing all that well over the past month with Schwarber and Harper, barely over .500 since May 24.
Stop crying about no Schwarber & Harper and start hitting like your draft status/contract. The Marlins are absolutely horrible and their starting pitching this series was lined up to be easy.
#Phillies
are screwing themselves and Topper making some questionable decisions too.
The
#Phillies
optioned Max Lazar to Triple-A after the game because they dislike winning. Seriously, just like Stubbs over Marchan, this is BS! Lazar - 6 G, 5.2 IP, 0.00 ERA & 0.35 WHIP.
Dude just walked 2 batters to start the inning and you had a 2-0 count and decided to swing and GIDP. One of the worst at-bats in recent memory. Great job Weston Wilson, stellar performance.
#Phillies
Amed Rosario was just DFA'd by the Dodgers. He can play all over the field (no position particularly well), but he has owned LHP during his career - .301/.807.
#Phillies
could use him, right?
I'm about to dedicate my Twitter account to posting stats to show how historically awful Pache is. I am so pissed right now that he survived a Dahl and Merrifield release.
#Phillies
@danheisman
We have a 26 year old, right-handed hitting OF named Ruben Cardenas currently leading the Triple-A International League in HR (20) and batting .281/.907 overall. Give him a shot. How could he be worse than Pache?
Rob Thomson - “Our fanbase is so passionate. I can’t control that, but the thing I don’t want to have happen [is] our fans lose their passion.”
Oh, we won't lose our passion, it will just rear its ugly head and a very negative manner. Be prepared!
#Phillies
#RingTheBell
The White Sox are the only team with a worse record in MLB since the All-Star break and the
#Phillies
are 24-29 in their last 53 games (nearly a third of the season), but sure, let's keep referring to it as a "rough patch".
Casty said the vibes are off in the clubhouse since the first loss to Oakland. I thought that's why we kept Stubbs instead of Marchan. How about you overpaid primadonnas start performing and stop being lil' whiny babies.
#Phillies
No excuses for not winning this series against the Marlins. They're bottom of the barrel in baseball. Even without Schwarber and Harper, we should be easily taking 3 of 4. This is pathetic.
#Phillies
Umpire Scorecards reports that the
#Braves
have been helped by umpire error 2nd most in
#MLB
this season with +21.14 runs. The
#Phillies
have been hurt 3rd most -12.67.
#RingTheBell
Welp, this is exactly why we needed Nola to pitch better yesterday. Now, we're gonna split a 4-games series against the lowly Marlins. Pathetic.
#Phillies
All of a sudden, Stott & Castellanos subpar seasons are a bigger problem with Schwarber & Harper out. Merrifield is just worthless. Can't believe people still defend him.
#Phillies
I find it absolutely comical the amount of Phans that think the
#Phillies
are holding on to Pache to "sweeten the pot" in a trade. He has no trade value. None. The Phils got him for essentially nothing, and all he's gotten is older and further proven he sucks offensively.
I am not a Merrifield fan, but he is far better than Pache. I truly don't understand the
#Phillies
obsession with carrying one of the worst hitters in the
#MLB
history. Senseless.
Even the best teams have rough patches. So, I'm not worried. However, Castellanos and Walker are concerning. We're 2 months into the season and Casty is still lost. Walker looks cooked. That's a TON of wasted/locked up payroll.
@PhilsTailgate
Would love for the Phils to light him up today. Lift the weight of not having Schwarbs/Harp off their shoulders a bit. Also, looking for Nola to punch out 10+ Marlins today to collect 100 for the season.
I'm pissed we lost, but we were in the NLCS on the brink of a second consecutive World Series, still a helluva a season and the
#Phillies
are competitive. Could be worse, a lot worse.
Nola back to being unreliable. Great job pitching with a lead. Such a disappointment this season. Imagine if he were actually good this year.
#Phillies
#RingTheBell
Our 17 year old catching prospect, Eduardo Tait, has 41 RBI in 41 games played this season in the Florida Complex League. Since joining the
#Phillies
minor league system last season, he's hit .323/.895. That'll play.
Rosario actually struckout in the 10th inning, but umpire blew the call. Rosario then singled home winning run. Umpire therefore blew the game. The
#Braves
are the 2nd most aided team in MLB this his season by umpire error.
#Phillies
#RingTheBell
@UmpScorecards
As I watched the game, I was thinking, this guy is calling everything correctly. Even the balls that were on the edges/corners. Great job!
It's hard to exaggerate just how awful Walker has become. He clearly should not be on a MLB roster. He's a sham. A slap in the face to the game.
#Phillies
Trea Turner has committed 39 errors in 251 games at SS since joining the
#Phillies
. That's an error every 6.44 games. A position change should happen this offseason. At his age, defense doesn't improve at premium positions like SS. Throwing is a BIG problem.
Are there still Phans out there not worried? Still think this is just a rough patch? Still think they'll be fine? If so, please give me reasons why, because I honestly don't have any to think this will change.
#Phillies
You know what I hate the most about the "don't worry, it's early/it's only April" crowd? They never admit when they're wrong. I'll gladly admit it if I am.
