So... they're running back pretty much the same team save for a relief pitcher named Archie.

total smartest guys in the room signing with chase anderson

he was always a contact pitcher until last year when he started striking out people...and getting hit much harder. they think they can fix him with the boy wonder pitching coach. im sure itll work out.

I love that Archie gif. That is done funny ass shtein.

FROM MLB Trade Rumors:

QuoteAnderson has been somewhat homer-prone throughout his career, but there's little reason to expect such pronounced struggles to continue.

I'm sure that a homer-prone pitcher will turn right around in the spaciousness of Citizens' Bank Park.

There's more reason to expect the struggles to continue than to miraculously end.

Already dreading his first start.

I totally forgot all the hype around Matt Moore when he first came up. Sounds like he's been through hell with his arm. He pitched well in Japan so fingers crossed.

Anderson signing official. $4 million.

Mediocrity, thy name is Phillies.

7 inning doubleheaders and the extra inning rule are staying

more inventive ways for the phillies to lose games coming up...but this time over 162 games not 60

Geowhizzer · February 10, 2021, 10:27:30 PM

Phils sign Brandon Kintzler to a non-guaranteed contract.

MDS · February 12, 2021, 10:10:31 AM

looks like brad bamboo miller is coming back

they are just adding depth and runs, gotta like it. IF they get competent pitching this might wind up being a fun year

Just having a bullpen that isn't a complete trainwreck would put the Phils into meaningful games in September.

QB Eagles · February 12, 2021, 11:59:48 AM

In other words, it won't be a fun year with meaningful games in September.

its the phillies so theyll find a way to farg it up but it would be really really impressive if the bullpen is as bad or worse than last year

at some point you figure youre going to get some face cards when you play blackjack...simple law of averages here
