heh

gm is an idiot i guess

Chaim Bloom has made some bonehead deals, IMO, as well as some good ones.

The two outfielder trades do not look good, IMHO.

Bloom's not the GM

But you are right about the trades.

SIGNINGS and "let gos" also not looking too good.

O'Halloran doesn't use the potty without Bloom's okay.

But deals are generated, deals that Bloom would know nothing of - thus OHalloran is responsible, if not giving final stamp.

I have no doubt Betts deal was Bloom-led once the conversation got started.

I don't know that there was a better way to go wrt Betts.

I think the Renfroe trade was unwise, for all that his current injury makes it look better.

Yes.  I recall you not wanting JBJ back.

Question I guess is what does BLOOM (as you feel he is doing the real work) do now - at 45-37 and off a divisional series run?

Bloom is not responsible for the number of injured personnel, especially what amounts to a complete starting rotation and a few relievers.

The youngsters who have been pitching of late are his best attempts to keep the show moving while awaiting returns from the IL. I don't really want us trading for more 4.50+ era relievers.

If we get 2019esque Chris Sale back, along with Eovaldi and Whitlock, I don't know that major actions need be done. And without that, I don't think any deals that can be done rationally will make sufficient difference for a deep dive into the playoffs.

IF the SS wasn't positioned by some analytics asshole in the GM's box, he isn't in the position to run towards LF the way he did.

 Kyle Schwarber entered the weekend leading the National League in home runs thanks to a run of nine bombs in the last 14 games.

Tonight's rookie starter gave up 7 runs in 2.2 innings before leaving with a sore paw. The Red Sox had nobody warming up for no particular reason other than lack of pitchers.

Phils have 27 innings without allowing a Cardinals run, as they won 4-0 last Sunday, 2-0, yesterday, and 1-0 today. Wheeler pitched those first 2 games, but today it was Kyle Gibson who pitched 7 SO innings.

Alec is the Bohm, as he homered twice last night, and got the the sac fly RBI today, accounting for all the runs in this series, so far.

The shut out streak is mighty impressive!

Alec's feat is useful, if not quite as awesome.
