Phillies Insider: Answer to Offensive Woes Could be Trea Turner Leading Off Permanently
Jun 25, 2023; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (7) hits an RBI single against the New York Mets during the third inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports It's been a rough patch for the Philadelphia Phillies lately, including getting swept by the Pirates and dropping nine of their last 10 games. Making issues worse has been the absence of Bryce Harper, with the team hitting just .198 without him. The offense has struggled to score runs, tallying two or fewer in four of their last five games. Advertisement As Phillies insider Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer recently noted on Sportsnaut's MLB podcast, Big League Buzz, the offense is struggling and one move could spark its dormant offense. 📺 WATCH Our Interview with Scott Lauber on Phillies Struggles The Lineup Adjustment That Could Spark the Phillies' Turnaround? Aug 8, 2023; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (7) hits an RBI double during the first inning against the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports One potential tweak discussed to kick-start the Phillies' offense and perhaps ignite the top of the order is moving Trea Turner to the leadoff spot permanently. 'I think moving Turner to the leadoff spot is probably the easiest thing to do,' Lauber told me on Big League Buzz, talking about the Phillies' struggles at the plate. 'He bats lead off against lefties, that's kind of been the way they've gone throughout the year.' Advertisement Lauber noted that Bryson Stott has been batting leadoff 70 percent of the time, but Stott continues to struggle with getting on base. Moving Turner permanently to the top of the order makes sense to the veteran beat writer. 'Maybe he becomes the leadoff guy against everybody at least for a little while here,' Lauber said. 'And maybe that sparks things at the top of the order a little bit.' In the Phillies' 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday, Turner was batting leadoff (starter Matthew Boyd is a left-hander) and finished the game 1-for-4.

Advertisement 'It's still only the beginning of June,' Lauber stressed. 'You're not going to see a major shake kind of move on June 9th. There's a long way between now and July 31st.'

Reddit's AI play is for the Google crowd, not just the community scrollers
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says there are two kinds of people who come to the social media platform: Scrollers and seekers. Scrollers are the ones who come to Reddit's core product, which is community conversation and engaging about topics they're passionate about, from r/sourdough to r/popculturechat. Then there are the Seekers; the people who might type their specific query into Google Search and tack 'Reddit' on the end so they can find real advice and opinions from real people. Reddit Answers, the company's AI-powered chatbot that surfaces verbatim answers and summaries from existing Reddit posts, is for the Seekers. And early results suggest it is already gaining traction. 'Up until very recently, we haven't built a product for them,' Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said Thursday on the company's first-quarter earnings call. 'Those users are not coming to Reddit for a community in that moment. They're coming for an answer. And I think we can [acknowledge] the use case that the user's bringing us and be more effective at solving it.' Reddit announced during the call that its Answers product already has 1 million weekly active users since it launched in beta in December. Last month, Reddit expanded Answers beyond the U.S. and into Australia, the U.K., Canada, and India. The feature, which is still in beta, currently lives in the navigation bar of the app as its own separate experience. Going into 2025, Reddit plans to integrate Answers more deeply into the platform in a few different ways. Huffman said the most obvious way to do this would be to integrate Answers into the primary search box, which could allow users to type in a full query rather than just a few keywords. The executive also said the company is exploring ways to integrate Answers into the beginning of the user journey. 'So you're a new user opening Reddit for the first time, using Answers to see what's in Reddit and learn that Reddit almost certainly has what you're looking for,' he said. Another 'point of entry' for Answers would be through external search, 'helping [users] get a more summarized or easy-to-parse version of the answer on Reddit,' Huffman said. That could also protect Reddit from being at the mercy of Google Search. In the fourth quarter of 2024, a Google Search algorithm change caused some 'volatility' with Reddit's user growth, which spooked investors at the time, despite beating earnings estimates. 'We're an open platform, and we want people to find Reddit content in [Google] Search,' Huffman said. 'Being open drives awareness and visibility. It can also create variability, and we do expect some bumps along the way from Google, because we've already seen a few this year. This is expected in any year, but given that the Search ecosystem is under heavy construction, the near term could be more bumpy than usual.' Reddit's stock soared in after-hours trading as the company beat analyst earnings expectations and strong user growth. The company reported revenue of $392.4 million, up 61% year-over-year, an adjusted EBITDA of $115.3 million, and daily active unique users of 108.1 million, a 31% YoY increase. In the second quarter, Reddit estimates revenue in the range of $410 million to $430 million and adjusted EBITDA between $110 million and $130 million.
