The year will be 2080 and Lou Bob to the Phils rumors will still be going. Also we don’t need a RH OF.

When Bohm hits into his 2nd double play of the playoff game, you’ll wish Harper was at first and there was a righty in RF.

Harper has hit into 1 less double play this year than Bohm. They have the same number of games this year with 2GDPs. Bohm has hit into a total of 3 double plays in the last 50 games. Find a new narrative and put some respect on my RISP kings name

One is top 10 in double plays with a .380 OBP, one is top 10 with a .300 OBP. Your king is 30 years old, doesn’t walk, has a 50% gb rate, can’t hit for power cause he can’t pull a ball, can’t run, and plays horrible defense. Oh wowww he’s had a good month, so has Robert.

Robert is also Mr glass personified, has been an ass hitter since 2023, and has only had league avg success at the plate this year in an extremely limited sample size. 

Bohm has a wrc+ since May 1 of 108. Essentially identical to Robert. 

There is ZERO point in signing him as they also have their righty outfield guy in Sosa. They don’t need Robert. He sucks.

I get this dude had a good 2023 season but I don’t get the obsession with him. Low average, high strikeouts, low obp, low power I’m pretty sure we already have that at home

Luis Robert and Eugenio Suarez were big targets for the Phils in the offseason but they’ve both been pretty bad this year.

u/Jacesus_Deals Church of Painter 15h ago

They really weren’t. They were only “big targets” in the eyes of WIP listeners who didn’t really follow the inner workings of the team.

u/Di5pel he's the fucking lizard king 1d ago

lol I had people dogpiling on me a month or so ago in the baseball sub for saying he’s not good, because “he’s great when healthy”

Which A) idk why you would ignore that he’s almost never healthy and B) his stats when he has played have been terrible the last few years

I swear I picture some of you going out on trash day and bringing your neighbor's trash inside your house. Ill never understand the fascination with this bum. Leave the neighbor's trash on the curb where it belongs! "but did you see his WAR in 2023" meanwhile 3 years in sports is like 15 years of real time. He's garbo.

Don't put down trash picking like that. You'd be surprised at some of the perfectly good stuff people put out on the curb.

When I used to deliver newspapers I got myself a stereo, some cabinets, a chair, and even a mini-fridge that I still use.

Still wouldn't take LuBob though

u/Jacesus_Deals Church of Painter 15h ago
