This is at least the third year in a row the Faillies can't beat the Marlins. They had a 7 game series with them this weekend, you'd think that would have been time to make up some ground on us, but they just can't beat the Marlins. I know the Marlins are better this year, but still, if you're going to contend you have to win at least 5 games in that series. IF the Faillies win tomorrow they'll salvage 3 wins, LMFAO. Good thing they are further along in their rebuild than the Braves.

Lol Funny I was just looking at his numbers.....he was hitting .211 with a .754 OPS in September, 1 HR and 1 RBI for the month before today and he went 1-6 today so those numbers will go down a lot. For the season he's hitting .259 now, 8 HRs, .906 OPS for the season.....just like a lot of people said, good but not spectacular offensive player. I never understood why everybody always assumed he was going to have 15 more monster seasons like the one big year he had. And no one could ever convince me he's not really annoying to his teammates.....I saw a clip where he got ejected recently, and he went into the dugout trying to explain to everybody what happened and no one would even look at him, they were obviously like yeah whatever d-bag.........

Harper is a douche, and he also has a very complicated swing. The swing generates tremendous power, but it has too many moving parts. If he doesn't make a significant change to it, at some point, I think his numbers will plummet. JMO

JMO Yeah I've felt that same way for a long time, I look for him to have a huge dropoff at some point with at least 6-7 years left on that contract, possible more.
I hate it for him and all the Faillies fans.

Most of those 10 or more yr contracts have bad consequences at some point.
Pujols is one of them. And look at what Giancarlo Stanton has become due to injury
Texiera, his was for 8 yrs - after the first two or three yrs he declined considerably.
How long is Trout going to be a great player. But that LAA team never wants to rebuild for whatever reasons, even if his deal works out in terms of player value as a team where are they going
As for Harper, its a matter of time we see serious decline in production. 11 more yrs left, that is likely going to be an albatross on their planning. Philly has spent so much on various guys, who knows what is left for JTR. Not to mention that this Sixto Sanchez kid looks like the real deal - most of us remember he was given up in that deal. To division rival Miami nonetheless.
Mookie Betts, given 12 yrs at age 27, who knows. If any of these deals have a reasonable chance that is one that might look good though you have to figure for some decline later in that deal
Most teams cannot offer those deals where you are paying guys 20 plus mil per to guys into their mid to late 30s, but it only takes one. Given the business uncertainty of the game I cannot see teams doing this for some time - does not make business sense.

Adam Duvall is putting up better numbers except for the walks and he's only costing us a little over $3M/yr...and he's not a free agent until 2023!
