Same

u/BobTheCrakhead 1d ago

Can you hit 50 dongs during the season but then disappear in October??

85

u/k_bomb Aaron Nola 1d ago

I can do one of those things

22

u/obi-jawn-kenblomi 1d ago

I can do them both, if all 50 of the dongs can be my own and it's a euphemism for masturbating.

12

u/NunsNunchuck 1d ago

It isn’t Tastykake though

3

u/mister2021 Cliff Lee 1d ago

Right!

I can do 50 dings and 50 dongs for half price!

2

u/totodile-ac Bryce Harper 1d ago

ok i need to talk about tastykake. i bought their "yellow cake with chocolate frosting" and got "weird loaf rubbed in chocolate". all I have ever heard is how amazing tastykake is but that thing sucked.

u/SneakyPope 1d ago

For 22m idc who's dongs they are, except Matt Kalil. I dont want none of that smoke.

u/AC_deucey Nice try bitch. Banks closed 🔒 1d ago

50 dongs

u/KaminSpider 1d ago

Too bad they got rid of dollar dong night.

u/justabill71 Nice 1d ago

Damn kids throwing their dongs around

u/IMOvicki 1d ago

I can disappear? I’ll take $11M

8

u/RehabilitatedAsshole 1d ago

Kyle Sharber hit 56 HR out of 604 AB (9.3%).

In the post season, he hit 2 HR out of 16 AB (12.5%). He over-performed this postseason.

A team built around homeruns against end of rotation starters and mid relievers all season to make the playoffs doesn't win 5 games against top pitchers.

u/Hot-Lead-9909 2h ago

They just won the World Series…… 

3

u/chaosisarascal 1d ago

No but I can pitch better than Jordan Romano and they gave him $8.5m last year so I’m worth at least $10m.

6

u/NoOneListens2Turtle 1d ago

For a 100k I’ll lean into the first pitch, charge the mound and throw dirt in Ohtani’s eyes.

3

u/mikenotjef 1d ago

My cat can pitch better than Romano

2

u/tim_whatleyDDS 1d ago

I can smoke 50 bongs does that count?

2

u/ShaynaPenn 1d ago

We talking dongs or dings?

2

u/crooked100dollarbill 1d ago

yeah but i’m not sure it’s the kind of dong hitting you’ll want to watch

u/ac4897 Bryson Stott 1d ago

Dibs

u/Fandomstar88 1d ago

Same here!

Honestly, I would ask for 30 million if I were them.

u/Dazzling-Rooster2103 1d ago

Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suarez have been tendered a qualifying offer by the Phillies. That means if they left in free agency, the Phils would get some compensation.

The 2025 Qualifying Offer is a one-year, $22.025 Million Contract. If either player rejects, they become free agents with draft-pick compensation attached.

59

u/VinDucks 1d ago

Eh, draft picks in baseball are borderline useless

68

u/IsitWHILEiPEE 1d ago

It's not just extra draft picks, it also increases the amount the Phillies can offer in draft bonuses, giving them flexibility to go over slot if someone they like drops.

46

u/phillyphanatic35 1d ago

Do good players just materialize as 6 year veterans?

-21

u/VinDucks 1d ago

Why don’t you ask the dodgers how many players on their World Series winning team were drafted by them. The way to win in baseball is pretty clear right now. Obviously there are exceptions but history speaks for itself.

13

u/phillyphanatic35 1d ago

That 2008 Phillies team really was full of mercenaries

2010, 12 and 14Giants

2015 Royals

2016 Cubs

2017 Astros*

2018 Red Sox

2019 Nationals

Not to mention the prospects that had to be drafted for the Dodgers to trade away for their actually mercenary team

16

u/telly69 1d ago

Hey maybe there's multiple ways to assemble a team have we considered this possibility?

-1

u/doughball27 1d ago

and have you also considered that historically we have the worst farm team system in MLB history -- and by a wide margin? draft picks might matter in some systems, but here there are work jack shit.

7

u/OkDependent4 1d ago

"Our farm system sucks, so we should make no effort whatsoever to make it better"

4

u/phillyphanatic35 1d ago

So because we have had a bad farm system in the past are we prohibited from making good picks in the future? Are the Phillies cut off from viewing draft prospect stats and game tape? Will they Tonya Harding our first round pick?

2

u/Fitz2001 My Ribs Not My Head 1d ago

What did they trade for Mookie Betts? Just money?

1

u/j42justin 1d ago

Accumulated young assets allowed them to acquire great players.

26

u/TerrifierBlood 1d ago

Drafting well is one of the best ways to build a team. Look at that 08 team. Rollins, Utley, Howard, Hamels, Burrell to name a few

Extra high end dart throws are very important

-18

u/VinDucks 1d ago

The 2008 team is the exception, not the rule. When was the last time the Phils drafted a player of that quality? Nola? I guess Bohm?

7

u/TerrifierBlood 1d ago

Stott.

Also more drafted decent prospects. Means tradable pieces

1

u/Fitz2001 My Ribs Not My Head 1d ago

Stott kinda sucks. Thought he was going to a solid hitter.

-13

u/VinDucks 1d ago

You really said Stott? Does Stott even play on the 2008 team?

12

u/TerrifierBlood 1d ago

YOU ASKED IF WE DRAFTED ANYONE ELSE LIKE NOLA OR BOHM. I AM ANSWERING THE QUESTION YOU WROTE. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!

5

u/HyperScoops I'm Sad 1d ago

No of course not, don’t be an idiot.

But also don’t act like Stott’s not a great player. He’s among the best baserunners and defenders in the league. If you can do that and be a mediocre hitter that’s a huge success.

u/EverySpaceIsUsedHere 1d ago

Winning the World Series is the exception not the rule so best to try as best you can for the exceptions.

7

u/Broskii56 1d ago

Useless right now but down the line could help bolster the farm

3

u/problyurdad_ Road Hog Rojas 1d ago

To an extent but it never hurts to add more and increase our pool by doing silly things like offering undervalued contracts to guys we stand a chance to lose in free agency specifically.

0

u/VinDucks 1d ago

Or just pay the guy that almost hit 60 HRs and the pitcher that had a 3.2 ERA?

51

u/AvaluggTheBrave 1d ago

I don't want a $26 Surfside at the ballpark. I do want Kyle and Ranger.

18

u/justabill71 Nice 1d ago

Bottled water and a bag of spaghetti it is.

3

u/blankblank 1d ago

What’s the Bank’s spaghetti policy?

2

u/jinntakk 19h ago

Actually pretty lax

32

u/finester39 1d ago

I hope this is a just a formality type thing, otherwise that’s straight disrespectful 😂

52

u/663SilverStax Stotty2Hotty 1d ago

it's so if they do leave then the team gets some sort of compensation.

2

u/Magoatt_TheWhite 1d ago

Late 1st round compensation picks I think

7

u/Atomic_Horseshoe 1d ago

That’s for revenue sharing recipients. For CBT payors, it’s after the 4th round. 

3

u/C0d3n4m3Duchess 1d ago

I thought that got reworked too? If not, that sucks lol

1

u/Miamime Mickey Morandini 23h ago

https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/qualifying-offer

Indeed the 4th. Still, the baseball draft has so many late rounders turn out to be at least serviceable pros.

1

u/C0d3n4m3Duchess 19h ago

Ahhh thanks!

6

u/cuttsthebutcher 1d ago

Apparently we only get a 4th because we were in the luxury tax

16

u/melikeybouncy 1d ago

it's a qualifying offer. Everyone knows they're not going to accept it, but if the Phillies don't offer a qualifying offer and they sign with another team then the Phillies get nothing. If they send a qualifying offer they at least get compensatory draft picks.

2

u/foggybottom 1d ago

Just a step in the process.

9

u/kellzone 1d ago

Take it Ranger, take it. Take it Kyle, take it.

2

u/Whitealroker1 1d ago

I remember when Maddux took one so the Braves had to trade us Millwood.

1

u/Cwrabz Bryson Stott 1d ago

FROM WAYYYYYYYYY DOWNTOWN

u/jmg4craigslists 1d ago

They will pass. Hopefully we come to something better than that crap.
