Phillies' 2022 GDT #123: 08/24/22 Reds(48-73) @ Phillies(68-55) - 7:05pm

Nick Nelson is their 7th inning option??

Hope this works out

Was really too predictable

Win or lose - they are not playing well against a bad team this series. Very worrisome

[BelmontShore]

Yes, I'm currently at home in Arizona.
So I'll walk all the way ... to the next room.

You voluntarily moved to that crackhead of a state?

[Christopher]

I would have zero issue with Sanchez as a starter, next year. None.

I guess the questions would be, who are the Top 4, because I wouldn't want Gibson & Sanchez both in the rotation.

If it's Wheeler, Nola, Suarez & a strong addition, then yeah, I'd be OK with Sanchez, as long as there's also a good #6 in the wings when injury strikes.

Dodgers already up 4-1 on the Brewers

Phillies living dangerously vs this shitty Reds' team.

I have to assume Abel & Painter will be options if needed even early in the season

Arizona politics are AWFUL, but have you SEEN Pennsylvania lately? Mastriano, Perry, election audits, voter suppression & one of the highest number of white nationalist groups in the nation. Either I'm in Pennsylvania West, or Pennsylvania is Arizona East.

I'm seriously considering trading Nola this offseason. So... there's that to add to the equation.

I think that's too optimistic. Maybe in a perfect-case scenario they can give you some limited August/September innings, though even then you'd worry about their 2023 vs. 2022 workload.

Um. You do have a point.
