The Phillies are back from the 2024 London Series, and almost everybody there seemed to enjoy themselves. We look back at some of the weekend’s most memorable moments, including Bryce Harper’s big Saturday night, appearances from several 2008 Phillies and the Phillie Phanatic’s hijinks.
Rob Thomson said he wouldn’t coming going to London every year.
But the Phillies are back in the U.S., ready to open a three-game series against the Red Sox. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss the team’s outfield production, and how Nick Castellanos’ recent play and Whit Merrifield’s productive weekend in London could maybe solve that issue internally.
Trea Turner could be back within the week. Brandon Marsh might be back soon, too.
Do you play Edmundo Sosa a little in left field when Turner is back? It might be another option for the Phillies’ outfield.
If Castellanos keeps it up, if Merrifield and Sosa produce in left, maybe the Phillies don’t need an outfielder before the July 30 trade deadline. Maybe they use their trade capital elsewhere.

Reuben I hope you see this. But I always wanted to thank you for the day you signed cliff Lee back. I was living in TN around Braves and Cardinals fans. When I was informed by those individuals the move you made, it truly felt like I wasn't alone down there and you had my back with those guys and dealt a KO. Thanks Reub. Always held the city down and so thankful your back around as much as you are now.

The Phanatic is leagues above all other mascots.

Throw turner out in left every time you want sosa in the lineup

The Brewers or Cubs can really make a push for post season.

If Schwarber can do it, Sosa definitely can.

Ruben and Jim nailed it. They're the best.

Sosa is a good bench fill in guy. He will get exposed if he plays too much.. Book it..

As a Philly fan.. I find it so painful watching nick casty trying to hit. If the guy don't want to change and wants to take see ball hit ball approach swinging at balls every at bat... and trying to pull everything resulting in constant weak ground balls... If he can't improve, please suck it up and upgrade the position.

Moving Marsh would knock down morale and destroy chemistry.

Need bullpen arms. Get a closer already!!

@asphaltcowboy7567 24 күн бұрын

An arm, yes, and an OF.. I've also been saying catcher..

@MichaelMcGuire-jt4pk 24 күн бұрын

They need a closer, preferably right handed. Thompson doesn’t seem to want Hoffman in that spot. Also… go get Robert, Schwarber and Casty money will be off the books soon and there’s no clear outfiield prospect who can help this year. Miller is blocked at the major league level and you have rojas to deal as well. Robert makes them a threat for the next decade with the long term signed core.

@asphaltcowboy7567 24 күн бұрын

Robert is a name, he'd cost wayyyyyy too much, is a question mark character wise, and is injury prone. Agree a younger OF with pop is needed. Stop with Miller, you have no clue how good he can be. He's 💯 untouchable. I live near Clearwater and have watched him. NFW. Rojas, yes, Abel yes, Caba yes.. No Miller. He can play several positions and won't be ready for 2 years. He can play short. He has way more upside then Stott. Trea can play 2nd, his best position, and Miller can play SS. He also can play OF. You're correct about a closer..

@MichaelMcGuire-jt4pk 22 күн бұрын

Appreciate the comment, no idea where you get Robert’s character being an issue. They will be trading an infield prospect at the deadline. There’s no room for any prospect with Bohm’s emergence, Turner’s contract and Harpers move to first. Why haven’t they moved Miller to the outfield?
