Things aren't going great for the Phils, but I have a couple of ideas on how to get things moving.
JT Realmuto is slumping, so I'd give him a break and let him play first base for the rest of the weekend and let Garrett Stubbs catch. Stubbs is an offensive upgrade over Kody Clemens, and JT won't have to worry about calling pitches and running the game. A mental break is just as important as a physical one.
I've never liked having Kyle Schwarber at the top of the lineup. I'd move him to fifth or sixth where he can put on his Dave Kingman display with less pressure. I'd absolutely move Alec Bohm up in the lineup.
And I never, ever want to see Cristian Pache in the lineup again. He stinks like feet. The A's, the worst team in the American League, didn't want him. Enough said. Give all the at-bats to Brandon Marsh, who has earned them. DFA Pache and bring up either Dalton Guthrie or Scott Kingery from Triple A.
Here's my lineup:
Stott - 4
Turner - 6
Bohm - 5
Castellanos - 9
Realmuto - 3
Schwarber - DH
Stubbs - 2
Marsh - 8
Cave/Kingery/Guthrie - 7
