robert orr @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social · 2hIt’s deeply unreasonable to move any of the big deals with the expectation of remaining competitive. You should absolutely see what you can get for Duran tho. That doesn’t signal the end of your window and could fetch some real pieces to lengthen the roster. 082

robert orr @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The worst Braves hitter in history would get a power up vs 2008 Brad Lidge if ATL was down 1 in the 9th, it’s been that way forever. That’s why game 1 in 2022 and Kimbrel in the clincher in 2023 are 2 of the most unbelievable Phillies wins of my entire life. 1114

robert orr @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I love when people say that measuring something is ‘analytics’ (derogatory) or a ‘bad stat’. Things exist regardless of if we measure them or not; we’re just observing them now. Didn’t realize you were so into quantum mechanics bro 260

robert orr @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Nobody remembers when it started. There’s rumors of a time the Phillies had more runs than their opponents, but those are only ever whispered in hushed, hurried tones; the city elders have jailed men for less.
