Three weeks into the acquisition of Lane Thomas (from the Nats) the fans were seeing him as a bust. He deserved the criticism, but man, "Big Hit" Thomas has turned it around at the right time.

I am one of those guys and will admit I never been more wrong about a guy. And the starter in this game Matt Boyd was also acquired at the deadline. It's crazy how today's game was decided by two guys they got, and even that us fans called a little quiet at the deadline. How little we knew.

[@a.f.johnston6753]

@@Ardyrezv, Yeah they won it all in 2019, but that was a magical year, almost a fluke. Though I’m thrilled that they won. They had better teams and players in previous years but couldn’t ever win a single playoff series - instead of building on that, they let those players go. Letting the best players in the league leave your team year after year is not a rebuild. Especially when you don’t get anything for them when they leave. It’s just bad money. Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, and Juan Soto, were not picked up, The Nats wouldn’t pay, and they got nothing for them. They traded away Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, and Max Scherzer. A handful of other pretty good players were traded too including Lane Thomas, and Jesse Winker. With the exception of Max Scherzer and Anthony Rendon, all the players I mentioned above were in the playoffs, and the Phillies have most of those players. The Nats are averaging 65 wins a season in the past 4 seasons. The team is basically a bunch of minor leaguers at this point, and has been for a while. A fan should expect some kind of improvement, during a rebuilding phase… but 5 years post world series and they’ve not had a winning season.
