but no give your win number
im at 69

leadoff double..no score.
Same old story
Make that 14 wins.
Nice play, CHOKE.
Cool. Unearned run in the 1st inning. Phillies Phever!!
low 60's....ill say 62
at least for now these are the assignments of most of their top prospects...
lehigh valley = thompson, appel, knapp, eflin, sweeney, perkins, williams
reading = jp, alfaro, quinn, pinto, piveta, hoskins, ramos, asher, windle, lively, brown, valentin
clearwater = tocci, kingery, eshelman, arano, lino
lakewood = randolph, kilome, pujlos,

farging Choke! awful attempt.
God damn this TV crew sucks. Only one I like is Murph walking around the concourse.
The journey to 100 losses begins with a single error.
I'd say 72, give or take.
Wonder if their top prospects could win a series against them.

man choke is really really bad...doesn't seem like he even wants to be out there
Yeah he's really bad
Can't wait to see who gets the opportunity to blow the save.
I'd go with Hinojosa...he's got a power arm

I can actually handle McCarthy. He was actually OK doing the NCAA tournament. Stairs is just a mumble mouth but I can deal with it. Ben Davis is awful. Brings nothing. Get LA on TV now!

Yeah, I agree that McCarthy is an average to decent play-by-play guy. But after being spoiled by Harry K and Whitey for most of my life, it's just a huge drop-off.
And Davis and Stairs actually make me pine for Chris Wheeler. And that's not a good thing.

QuoteNo team will have more financial flexibility than the Phillies: Financial commitments reduced to $25.5M in 2017; $5.5M in 2018; 0 in 2019.
the bulk of whats owed is 17 are buyouts for choke and chooch and harrison's contract (which is insured)
so the real number is a lot lower than 25, which is insanely low as it is. over the next 2 years they really should just go nuts throwing money at any cuban that can float on a raft

Thome was with the Phils for less than a Presidential term yet he gets put on their wall of fame. What a joke.
Yeah, I don't get that. He was good for a couple years, but I still think of him as an Indian whenever I hear his name. Nothing against him, but he's far from an all-time great Phillie.
Really? Thome on the Wall of Fame? No, no, no. Liked the guy a lot but no way. So Pineapple Head is a shoo in.
I can see why he was chosen. Short tenure but his signing is pretty much what flipped the script into the new era.
Wow, Gio Gonzalez was part of the Thome deal? I don't remember that. I do remember bums got Rowand.
QuoteA source told ESPN Insider's Jerry Crasnick that the Phillies will also receive two minor-league left-handed pitchers, Daniel Haigwood and Gio Gonzalez, a supplemental first-round pick (38th overall) for the White Sox in the 2004 draft.
Indeed he was. Wish they would've held onto him.
Interested to see how Nola throws tomorrow.

Quote from: ice grillin you on April 06, 2016, 06:55:45 AM
what turned the Phillies around was getting the new ballpark
So much this. Along with having their core all come together at the same time and actually perform well. But mostly because they built the perfect ballpark for their left handed bats.
Thome was with them for 2 good years (03/04) and an injury plagued year (05) that I think he might have appeared in 1/3 of their games.
In the 2 good years with Thome, the Phils won a combined 172 games.
In the 2 years preceding Thome, the Phils won a combined 166 games.
Awesome 6 game turnaround.
More than the six games.
He was a huge part of the turnaround. Of course the core guys had something to do with that too. Back to back 40hr seasons. The fact a marquee FA signed and helped usher in the change in the franchise.
It's a team wall of fame. Settle down ladies
he signed here because they offered him more money than anyone else, money they finally spent because they were....going to have a new ballpark
And here's the voice of reason lil guy chiming in
thome was impossible not to like and he had a couple of good seasons
the wall of fame is a joke for a variety of reasons....its really just a collection of well liked people who at some point played for the phillies.
but the phillies wouldve done what they did with or without him
And that's fine for a wall of fame. Fan favorites that were liked and good players.
Need to get Ricky Jordan up there
Mack keeping Nola in. Good
Great start by Nola tonight. And the less bullpen, the better.
Damn! Nola looks really good. Happy with how Gullickson looked on Monday and Nola is throwing some shtein tonight.
I won't enjoy watching this team this year but watching some of these young guys develope will be fun.
not much more you can ask from this game
odb - hit, walk, run
the boy maik maik - dinger

#1 pick on the way !
Matt Klentank
Alfaro 2-2 two rbi tonight in the 3rd inning
man i may need to revise that prediction of 69 wins. might not get to 59.
have no earthly idea where theyre supposed to get late innings outs from. and also offense. this lineup beyond franco and odb is beneath where they were last year and last year they were terrible.
they are going to cycle thru BP arms like you can't believe over the next couple months...lots of live ones in the minors that will come thru...not saying the bullpen will ever be good this year but it will get better...of course that doesn't solve the epically bad outfield and they are still losing a hundy but the bullpen can be addressed from within
Alfaro with his 3rd hit
outside of jimmy cordero, currently hurt and with no experience over AA, theres not a ton there that can help them this year
as big a homer as j is i still cant believe he took that bet at 74
j also picked the spurs to win the west cause the dubs are tired

outside of jimmy cordero, currently hurt and with no experience over AA, theres not a ton there that can help them this year
there are a ton of arms that could be rotated in this year...doesn't mean they wont suck too but the more you rotate in the more chance you have to improve the pen...im not talking long term future im talking improving the pen for this year...by default this pool of players has to improve what they have now
araujo....garcia...bailey...mujica...lafromboise...windle...ramos.....murray...severino...cordero...im sure im missing some...
vince velasquez maybe....he has high end closer written all over him, but gotta see what he can do as a starter first

possible but yeah you gotta give him at least a full year if not more as a starter with the stuff he has...even if hes not ready for the bigs now send him down for more work as a starter....after that if he fails he will get lumped in with all the other prospects that fail as starters but have good arms that could translate to be relievers when the team is good...
i suspect out of this group at least three of them have a good chance to be in the pen for a hopefull 2019 wild card team: thompson.....asher...appel...eflin...pivetta....lively....morgan..
not you but people in general don't realize how many top end sp projects end up in the pen...just because say even a jake thompson who is right now their top pitching prospect fails as a SP doesn't mean he wont become one of the best set up men in the majors one day

its 4 games but he looks so out of his element as a starter, not that it wasnt obvious
scott kingery youre up
what a brutal call....choke just happens to be facing maybe the only pitcher in the majors older than him
velasquez is over throwing everything
vv is all over the place but I love watching him cause he is the only prospect arm other than kilome with valid "stuff"
appel can be in that class if he starts throwing strikes with any kind of semblance of consistency
Hmmm imagine that. Gary and Keith think the slide rule and the one on Rasmus was bogus

And like the sixers, I know what the end result will be before the season starts. Rooting for them to win isn't going to springboard them to much more than 70 wins
the mets point is fair
I still want them losing every game
i like it when the phillies win!
You're not a REAL fan unless you root for them to lose every game.

The GOATs Darling and Keith said that he'd yet to throw him a change. Don't throw a change now, they said. Hellickson throws and change and boom.
Don't know that I've ever seen a worse base running team in my life

Groome throws no hitter, has 19 ks
QuoteThe senior left-hander struck out the side in the first and second innings. After getting the first out of the fourth inning on a pop out, Groome struck out the final 11 batters he faced. He has fanned 29 of the 33 hitters he has faced in two starts this season.

As most of you on this board have heard me bitch about how MLB fargs over Hawaii baseball fans by allowing the Mariners, Giants, A's, Dodgers, Angels and Padres to call Hawaii part of their home market thus all games involving these teams are blacked out on MLB.TV Dodgers and Angles are available as we do get Fox Sports West and SportsNet LA. So forced to listen to radio broadcast on MLB.TV, OK I'll listen to the San Diego guys. Used to listen to a lot of San Diego sports talk radio in infancy of internet radio and liked the lineup they had. 10 seconds into my feed Ted Leitner the Padres play by play man on the radio starts the whole Philly fans are tough and the Santa Clause story. Give it up people. My God, stop already. Hello Franzke and LA, I'm back.
Sorry gentlemen, had to vent.
frankie hit that double harder than his home run...that cat does not get many cheap swings
that eickhoff curve was disgusting
wow eickhoff reached back for that one....touched 95
I know it's the Pads and all but Eickhoff looks fantastic
hes feels a little vance worley to me...smoke and mirrors until the league jumps on him
he may well a ML pitcher but its likely bottom of the rotation/replacement level stuff. but hey, what the hell, see where this goes.
Phils starting staff only has 12 walks, leads MLB in k's and has an opp BA under .200

Oh yes. You got me. The biggest homer you've ever seen, according to you, and I'm making up negative shtein about a player I like.
Want to tell me he's never had problems with that throw to second? Come on
i never said he didn't make a bad throw...YOU said he still cant make it when he hasn't had a throwing error for four years
You semantics arguing hard headed Washingtonian!
I know he hasn't had an error. I remember posting about it last year.
But that doesn't mean he hasn't farged off on that throw for a decade
I'm sure they're going to implode soon enough but christ, the starting staff has ony given up 17 runs in 9 games and if you take away Morton's 6 runs at Cincy and Nola's 4 on Monday, shtein very impressive for a bunch of kids. Not getting excited, but we all agreed we were going to enjoy the individual performances. Enjoying.
The pitching has been impressive even if the opposition hasn't been. They still can't hit their weight, though. You're right about enjoying the good moments because they're going to be pretty rare this year. Once it warms up and the league catches up to these guys, it's gonna get ugly.

He was out of line to rant on Choke. Doesn't make him less of a great announcer. At least I'm not the biggest homer ever to you anymore.
Movin on up!
1. syndergaard is insane. eickhoff threw well but he made his stuff look little league. his offspeed pitches were faster than eickhoff's fastballs. the fact that this minor league lineup got 1 run was amazing.
2. i sat 1st row behind the dugout and made eye contact with odubel. we're like best friends now.
3. mets fans all over.disgusting trash. this is what you get when you have a shtein team. i hope j and the other homers are happy they threw money at jimmy, choke, chase, lee, etc. because this happened because of that.
4. havas is DRUNK and needs to just stop typing now

I mean the criticism was that he's not Joe D and he strikes out a lot. Nothing no one else hasn't said about him.

yeah dont become obsessed with other teams like you are with dallas when dallas is an all time great franchise in any sport much less football where the eagles are a national embarrassment
or the eagles will choke a game at one oclock and youll be laying waste all over social media laughing at the giants losing at 415...like the corpse is still warm and you've moved on like nothing happened giggling it up on twitter
choke on the other hand is the best player at his position in the history of a 130+ year old franchise who won them a world series...its bad enough that his own fans hate him...farg if some senile old bastich from the other side of the world is gonna take free shots

So falling asleep during the game wasn't a bad thing eh?
Six homers allowed and still can't score on offense.

you do realize they have, like 5 players on the team that actually belong in the bigs
That many? I gave up at 9-0.

frank kilome this season: 29 outs, 17 runs, 7 k, 10 bb
Maik Maik!
maik maik - 2 homers

tommy joseph - 3-5, hr, 3bi
nick w - 3-4, run, bi, sb
alfaro - will be back in the lineup early next week
flyers - win
philly!
Franco's second homer was just obliterated. Good lord.
A week or so ago Mackanin said Franco was overswinging and it was something they'd work on. You can see the difference. He's still swinging hard but it's much more controlled.

Motherfargin Maik Maik!!
Saves the zesty base running by Cesar(again) and a zesty bunt (again)...two Phillies staples
Franco is workin' Milwaukee this weekend. The dinger was great but the throw while sitting on his ass was insane.
odubs is 7th in mlb and 4th in the nl in OBP. he also has the most walks in all of baseball.

Poor wittle Curty Curt. It's always someone else's fault. It couldn't possibly be him being a colossal icehole. Nope. It's those damn panty waist liberal Hoydas who caused him to lose his gig.

Havas finds this funny for some reason
i think he finds you throwing a temper tantrum over this funny
theres a difference between being fun to watch and being angry over what a terrible team does
young pitcher who at best hopefully one day is a number 4 or 5 guy in the bigs didn't throw a no hitter and let a team back in it
Both of you are insane. Like make an appointment at a shrink ASAP.
There is no tantrum. Expressing displeasure or disappointment is normal for a fan. Don't expect either of you "true fans" to get this though.
Enjoy your lithium or whatever the shrink gives youse.
are you also disappointed when the baby poops in the diaper, not the toilet
No kids - don't have that problem.
Doobie with another walk and then...

actually getting nola tomorrow either way but I have zero use for charlie morton in person or on tv...not like an adam morgan type excites me but Charlie Morton is 100% worthless....plus his injury as a bonus probably makes them a few losses worse which is better for the draft pick
and be clear on harper....you don't just hate him...everyone hates him...you hate him and because of that would not want him on the Phillies

if harper were on the Phillies now or at any other time your extreme homerism would allow you to not think hes an icehole....trust me
i was thinking the other day that I never would have imagined that john kruk would be the most normal human being from that 93 team.
The 80 and 93 Phillies were working class scrappers. Same goes for the Eagles and Flyers of the 80's. I knew several of them, partied with them in Margate, etc. The Flyers and Eagles guys I knew were anything but iceholes.
Oh and eat shtein with your retarded, dragging ass, tired out homer talk too. I don't like iceholes, period. I don't want a punk like Bryce Harper on my team. If you do, bully for you.

I don't care if you hate harper but be consistent...i farging hate the guy...but not wanting him on your team while you have had zero problem in the past rooting for dicks on philly teams is inconsistent and just plain asinine
thing is you don't even know why you hate him...if he was some sort of truly despicable human like greg hardy id get it or if he wasn't that good where the hate trumps the talent...but this is normal sports hate we are talking about and to not want someone who might become the best hitter of all time on the Phillies in his prime cause you don't like his hairstyle is so small time and frankly one of the dumbest takes ive ever heard

A rebuilding team is only 3 games behind the greatest team ever assembled since the 1927 Yankees
A shutout win?? and a series win?! Against the big badddd Nats??
j would you rather have 80 or the first pick
I want to enjoy a season and watch the young bucks get better
No either or here. A summer with them progressing.
This ain't first take, skip
you just answered the question. youd rather see them "progress" -- whatever that means -- and see some good ol fashion dubya's instead of having the ability to select a potentially transcendent player.
i get it but i dont feel it
Their record is closer to the Cubs than to the Braves. Probably want to hold off on the #1 pick talk until later in the season.
I think they are a bad team but maybe not bottom 5 the way MLB is currently split between the haves and have nots. A lot of bad teams out there.

time to re-think the O/U on wins.
71 ?
They won't make 70 because the pitching will fade once teams catch up and they'll never hit with huge holes in the lineup other than Dubes & Maik-Maik.
yea you're right, the homer came out of me for a second there.

so the tank in baseball is worth it but in basketball its ridiculous. got it. these are good things to know.
I was going there too, Matt, but thought better of it in the end.
the drafts are very comparable. no talent after the 3rd pick in baseball either.

i never said the sixers tank was bad...i just said not trying for a year, then taking 2 guys who werent going to play was insulting. and that its silly to actively not try for multiple years for a slightly increased opportunity at drafting a generational defining player that might or might not even be there.
notice how the sixers have tanked for 3 years now and they are no closer to the 2nd coming of lebron james than they were before this even started. meanwhile the phillies have one of the best 10 farm systems in the game. i saw this years ago. the phillies will be a title contender before the sixers.
you're such a Nostradamus
I had them pegged at about 72 wins, and I'm still leaning that direction. Just playing the Braves a ton of times will probably get them there. But they don't have the hitting to sustain an even mediocre record, and that will put too much stress on the pitching to carry the load.
They're probably not a 100 loss team just because of the Braves, but they'll lose 90.
The Sixers will have basically their entire payroll to spend on free agents plus a bazillion high picks and Saric plus the core they have now. They only have 11 roster slots to fill unlike the Phillies who have 25. Saying the Phillies will make the playoffs, which is likely at least four years away, defies any sort of logic.

yup...as long as one of the young arms is going they are really nice to watch this year...but everyone should still want them to lose every game while rooting for good individual performances from the youngstas...of course these two things can butt heads and if it comes down to it youd rather see progress from the future pieces than losses but the ultimate goal is to get another top 3 pick while people like VV progress (and mostly of course everyone lower in the system)
whats really cool to see is that now that Charlie Morton is dead they shouldn't get a start from a guy over 30 for the rest of the season...doesn't mean they are all part of the future but its dope to see the organization have pitching depth instead of trotting out 100 year old mlb journeyman

Phillies have the best payroll in the majors moving forward so no advantage sixers there especially with everyone in the nba having money and no one wanting to go near the sixers...sixers also dont have a bazillion high picks...
while its possible the phillies might not make the playoffs for four years saying "at least" four years is a stretch...I would rather say they easily could make it in 2018 but probably wont until 2019 assuming a fair amount of things go right...the HUGE advantage the Phillies have over the sixers is that they can get free agents with relative ease that can turn a team pretty quickly...if it wasn't for that I would put it at about 50-50 btwn the two teams...right now id say its 65-35 phils
one advantage the sixers have is that 8 teams make it and the east doesn't have many if any really good ascending teams while the Phillies are going to have to be very good to finish even second in their own division in the next four or five years
So Odubel Herrera, eh? A Phillies leadoff man actually taking pitches and accumulating walks. Never thought I'd see the day.

The Sixers start five guys and rotate in a max of three or four, right? If they hit the #1 this year, that means they're likely to have another cornerstone plus Saric. Noel is a legit NBA player and they could undoubtedly trade Okafor for a starting point guard. So that's four starters, right? Now add in free agents and don't farging tell me no one wants to come to Philly because that's bullshtein. They'll go wherever the biggest contract is.
The Phillies have a minimum of six field positions to fill plus three starters, set up men, a closer and four or five solid bench contributors. Are you seriously thinking they're going to be able to fill those with the guys they have in the minors in the next four years? And I know they have a ton of money available, but they've already said they're not filling the roster with other teams' castoffs (and a lot of them are in baseball).
I give both teams credit for doing it this way. I just see the Sixers path as being easier especially because they're three full years into the purge whereas the Phillies just started it last year.
It will be close, though, but I just see the Sixers as being way closer right now especially now that Hinkie magic has taken his abacus and slide rule and headed for greener pastures.

saric so far is juat another guy....Phillies have at least five sarics either on the team or in the pipeline...okafor stinks and has little trade value...and again with FA's the sixers cant offer any more than any other team...everyone will be able to offer the max to anyone they want over the next few years...and with all things being even the sixers are probably a bottom three destination in the league right now...free agency is off the table for them as far as getting any even very good much less great players
the number of positions to fill is not relevant because the talent pools are so vastly different...theres a reason baseball has 500 rounds in their draft and the nba essentially has one
the x factor in all of this and what could push the sixers ahead of the Phillies is jo jo....if he comes back healthy then all bets are off....but until that happens imo the Phillies have the advantage cause of the FA factor
Both teams suck but at least both are on the road to respectability and both seem to have well thought out plans now. I'm good with that. Just need some luck now.

Howard, on the other hand, has been booed because he's sucked for half a decade while earning more money than 99.999999% of the population. Oh, and he's refused to actually, you know, change his approach to hitting one iota over those same unfruitful years. He's a spoiled, coddled 21st Century athlete.
But yeah, he's black and has gotten booed a bit, so he's just like Dick Allen.
hence the words "modern day"
but thanks for being the poster child south jersey Ryan Howard hater and a perfect example of why I teared up last night at that homer
Howard's production started downhill after 2009 and fell off a cliff after 2011. Age and the achilles got to him.
But no doubt he is a top-5 or 6 Phillies player of all time:
All-Time Phillies (off of the top of my head, in no particular order)
Schmidt
Carlton
Rollins
Howard
Ashburn
Roberts
Klein
Alexander
Allen
Utley
I don't blame Howard at all for getting paid. Go get that $$. He's not better than Rollins or Utley though and I don't think it's particularly close.
Rollins >> Utley >>>> Howard

Rollins >> Utley >>>> Howard
this is fair...it would also be fair if you had GRIT first....the problem was the treatment of each did not come close to mirroring the value of each
when did the treatment of choke extend past boos and dumb tweets/internet comments
the racist big nose looks like an ape lazy shiftless cant throw to second base shtein has gone on since almost day one...when he got engaged to the white girl it went off the charts
meanwhile GRIT was the best fielding second baseman of all time
Still stuck on the can't throw to 2b thing. Were you a failed 1b who also couldn't make that throw and it brings back flashbacks?
the guy who called him out a week ago for making his first throwing error in four years is telling someone else they are stuck on it?
Well I commented that he's struggled with that throw
Which he has
And then you got offended and called me a Choke hater and can't stop bringing it up
OD out of his mind
what up G!
Freddddddyyyyy
Beautiful play by Cesar there
And now Ruf smokes a double
this team...
also why the farg was the infield in there
On Eickhoff's hit?
Guess Tito doesn't think they can score off him and we're hoping he'd hit a dribbler
Choke rung up on an awful pitch. Awful ump
shtein needed a backhoe to dig itself out of the dirt
its jerad farging eickhoff but i dont care if it was roger Clemens in his prime...you don't move the infield in against the pitcher there...or maybe ever

him looking to the dugout for a challenge was precious....even he couldn't believe he is that slow
how much longer until he changes places with tommy joseph
that was a professional at bat by kipnis
this game should be a warning sign for eickhoff to never ever go to the AL
the NL isn't far behind.....hes about four starts away from having close to a 5 era
I cant even watch one pitch of an OD at bat without cracking up
hes the best drama queen ever
hes ridic

I don't hate Ryan Howard at all. I'm a fan of his and always will be.
Your ignorant comparison of what he's gone thru in Philly in comparison to what Dick Allen experienced was absolutely idiotic and 100% false.
franco managing a world series game
is maik maik capable of not swinging from the first row
He loads up and let's it rip
Btw can they cut down on the base running mistakes? Jesus
that was not good baserunning by black shane
Nope nor was bourjos getting cut down
Noooooooo Doobie!
Wtf
j do you hear these announcers....its unreal...wondering why you would walk a guy with first base open but not when theres first and second
i cant blame for him for trying to create something with choke up....but he shoulda been on 3rd with franco's flyball

I watched Cleveland the other day - didn't really care for them
And I listened for Schmidt bc I've enjoyed him and some of his insight
But that question was a head scratcher.
cleveland is just kinda there....not good not bad. the phillies have one of the worsts broadcasts in the game, especially when stairs is there. schmidt i never got anything from. he goes on long boring stories and clearly just shows up in the booth and doesnt prepare or watch the other games at all.
all his info seems like its pulled from what the caddy told him the day before
schmitty is a good interview/story teller....he is a brutal announcer
but I don't care if darling and Hernandez were doing color if tmac if the pbp guy you have to listen to the other team...unless its DC
why didn't he catch that
im not how sure to make sense of what the phillies are doing
theyre not a particularly smart team....no power....not a ton of speed....very limited talent-wise...yet here we are
baseball makes no sense

schmitty just said that was a game saver by Darrin ruf....there was no runner on third.....the Phillies are up by one and the home team and Darrin ruf doesn't catch
when is the last time the phils has a game like this where it was a late game situation where you cared if they won or not
WHOA!!
lets go!!!
Jawwwnmar!
Bourjos!!
Wowowow
that ball wasn't just ripped it had huge movement on it off the bat

Probably not. If they do end up in contention it's a miracle.
I'm happy they're playing well. Some of the future nucleus is there and doing well. Chooch and Choke having a nice little farewell season. Seeing doobie and Franco and the pitchers progress is nice. Rupp looks like a solid player even if he ends up being a backup.
They'll probably falter but that's ok. Get the rest of the young bucks up and let them get a taste and then we can start up the bandwagon next season.
wow...you are weirdly level headed
im proud of you buddy
Haha must be the booze I'm drinking

Damn straight son. Just enjoy. Like what I see, pleasantly surprised. The fact this team is 4 games above .500 on May 1 is amazing but taking it all in stride. Things are setting up nicely for 2019. Every time I get excited I am reminded of the Mets staff.
5th Anniversary of the Bin Laden game
ESPN doing a nice little story on it.
Goosebumps watching it. Both from Jimmy saying how much he hated the Mets and from the whole story...and the chants
They'll collapse eventually but it's nice watching these clowns having fun at least for now.

choke-rupp-rough

wow is salazr out of nowhere getting squeezed this inning

vv doesnt even have close to his good stuff and hes shutout an AL team through 4
yeah its a battle for him today...kind of a weird performance in that his control seems on point but he has four walks
that better be it for him
Super. Bowl.
Odd that Mack double switched Maik Maik out
In real time I thought Blanco was out by a mile. Replay shows he was clearly safe.
Horrible
why would you squeeze after blanco is gassed from stretching that into a triple...which by the way was great baserunning with one out gives you a chance for the sac fly which is another reason not to squeeze then
Neris hung that out to dry.
nasty

bourjos sucks
so does blanco when he cant breathe
either way much higher % play to hope bourjos puts a ball in play than pray for a successful squeeze
you and i could score on a squeeze...its all about getting the ball in play, the condition of the runner is secondary
first pitch after a triple with a shtein hitter up was an obvious squeeze spot and the injuns got them. next time do it 1-1 or 2-1.
Six straight. How is this even possible? They might be the worst hitting Phillies team of the last 40 years. Their bullpen is suspect and the starters are straight unknowns or never-were's.
Just amazing.

Even though Jimmy is a Phillie for life and only Philly fans read that paper, it's more than a little awkward to spend the whole interview on Phillie talk when the guy is still the starting SS of a first place MLB team. Just felt uncomfortable, probably more than it actually was.
also half the interview felt like it existed for Hoffmann to brag about how much he knew about the Phillies system...like why are you talking to jimmy rollins about all the Phillies prospects

Actually just the opposite. I was trolling you specifically because if he was white and was hitting .180 and doing good things for the community that would be your response.
i don't want him playing at all but if he does I hope he hits .080....I want the team to lose every game
also one thing white people definitely don't need are places to practice baseball
true but we need more five guys around.

he was 3rd in line to get saves on the worst bullpen in the league. only a matter of time before neris gets a crack.
the only reason burris still has a job is because they dont want to take at bats away from anyone in AAA and taylor featherson is even worse. even though hes not an infielder, they really should have venable up instead because at least he can hit over .100
wait twitter is saying the inning should have been over?...like beat guys or knucklehead fans
nah just fans like that goof zoowithroy are whining about the 3b coach....just like complaining
anyone with a brain knew they werent winning regardless of that
Yeah calm cool and collected super fans like you and Havas here.
even if they were good and this game meant something....its still just some game in early may. been around the block enough to know when its real and when it aint.
but really the phillies are going to win like 60something games this year, theyre playing well, enjoy for it what it is but dont get worked up over the results
Thanks mr sports fan psychologist
74 wins buddy
They only have to go 54-80 the rest of the way to hit 70 wins. That's certainly attainable
I have to wonder if they were expecting this so soon and if their surprising play will kick the rebuild into higher gear? If they had any production from the corner outfielders, they'd be giving .500 a run come September, especially if the pitching stayed stitched together.

if by kicking the rebuild into higher gear I assume you mean sign big time free agents this offseason.....cause other than that the rebuild couldn't be in higher gear...and the answer is a resounding no...this is still all about the development of individual players not a flukey 25 game stretch by a bunch of bums....they still don't even know if someone like maikel franco is a full time major leaguer much less any of the guys in the pipeline....imo that has to be determined first before they start paying big money to free agents..."high gear" I don't think will be until the 2018 winter tsunami
yeah. romey.
Their target is obviously 2018 but they'll have money to spend on incremental upgrades in July.
Hell, I'd just as soon let it ride this year and next but the sooner they get better players in there to foster a culture of winning, the better.

basically. they got the next year and a half to figure out what they have. then in 18 you start throwing some weight around, up to and including a check for 4 bills to brycie
we might see a no no today....Garcia is simply dominating
Glad this was a game I couldn't watch
lil guy happy tho
me too!!
Unless they're trading for Braun or Votto, there really aren't any upgrades available this summer or offseason (when Carlos Gomez is the top bat)
Wouldn't want Braun or Gomez at all
BA has groome number three on their big board behind puk and pint
I think they've considered Groome because of the local ties and his great starts against overmatched juniors, but unless something drastic happens, I think Puk is the pick
I also think they have looked at a potential number one overall pick...if they haven't an evaluation of their PP dept should be in order
groome absolutely should be the pick
brock stassi struck out nick swisher tonight
craziness.

brock stassi is a minor league 1B for the Phillies and why is nick swisher not retired
maybe im a simpleton but things like this fascinate me

That shot from Franco was awesome. I don't know who the Vin Diesel wannabe color guy is for the Marlins but even he was impressed.
Vinnie is having a helluva comeback after a shaky start.

tonight is a prime example of why you need power
the phils were on chen, who has nothing left, but all they have (except for franco) is a bunch of slappy sallys. pretty tough to score runs when youre just stringing singles together.

It was about as empty as it sounded last night. Lower deck between 1/3 and 1/2 empty per section, and the upper deck completely closed down.
WOW! Good shtein there Gomez.

don't you have an article to write that nobody will read ?
http://www.phillyvoice.com/uniform-decisions-which-numbers-will-phillies-retire-next/
def rollins. no question. I would lean towards howard as well. that's it.
regardless of jimmy being the king if he doesn't make the HOF I don't know how you separate the three of them
i think you stick with the HOF rule or all three get retired...even tho three numbers from one team seems excessive
i think utley is def in the discussion, but i'm not sure if he's quite at the level for retiring his jersey.
that said I wouldn't complain if they choose to do it.
Jimmy without a doubt
Jimmy's the only one of the 3 who belongs in the HOF, so yeah.
yeah, im not sure you'd find many fans in gen who would debate jimmy.
even in a pro phillie article that is making a HOF case for jimmy right in front of your eyes hes still 4% below GRIT...and if you asked people randomly on the street away from the facts he would be much lower
like Hoffman says in the piece...
QuoteRollins was misunderstood. Despite a reluctant embrace by some Phillies fans
Out of the three, it's Rollins. The HOF rule still applies, though, and I'm not sure he's quite there.
I love Utley, but to me he's below rollins on the all-time Phillies list.

I don't think it applies to that team...gotta think someone is getting retired if not all three...HOF or not...the only way it doesn't happen is if like I said they don't know how to separate them out and decide to not retire any of them so to not hurt feelings...but it wont be because of the HOF rule
id retire all of them together on the same night....then have one statue with all three of them outside the stadium
I agree the HOF rule shouldn't apply.
also, more I think about it, this would be epic.
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 10, 2016, 12:24:51 PM

I def agree with the retire all 3 on the same night.
As for a statue...that team had so many great plays made by great roleplayers that I'd love to see a smaller statue of the whole starting lineup and pitchers, somehow. Almost every one of those guys that you can name came up with a big play or hit or pitch somewhere in there at some point it seems. Even some of the bench guys--Stairs, Jenkins, Taguchi, Dobbs, Bruntlett, etc....just seems like all of them contributed in a big way at one point or another. I'm also probably biased because it was my first championship team though.
Retire all three. Who gives a shtein regardless.
the whole '08 roster will be on the wall of fame.
No Groome or Puk?
Stark:
Other teams say the Phillies appear to be backing off A.J. Puk at No. 1 in the draft & moving toward Mercer CF Kyle Lewis
if thats true, they are doing the same thing the astros did with correa
take someone #1 below market value to save bonus money, then allocate that later in the draft by overpaying high school kids and college juniors. its not a bad move considering the lack of a sure thing in this draft. coming away with as many lotto tickets as possible isnt a bad thing.
That's what I read in Ryan Lawrence's piece yesterday
Not opposed to it in theory but I know zilch about some OF from Mercer

I said get to June and we'd talk
i cant wait :crazy
Astros and Indians are in the 16th inning and of course of the 15 stations they could be on EI they are on the one the Phillies are supposed to be on
You're not missing much, Eickhoff is pitching like shtein
Eickhoff tossing BP tonight
How the Hell did he get out of that? Oh wait, it's the Braves.
Phillies 4,5,6 tonight
.175/.239/.402
.247/.267/.384
.225/.252/.358
holy yikes
The shine is off Eickhoff it seems
he was never going to be more than a 5/6

scored front row johnsons for reading on wed and thurs of next week for 12 bucks....gotta love minor league baseball...
also jp 0-5 today with 6 lob...avg now down to .257
appel also got rocked....at some point they just need to try him in the pen
JP has the same average as Brycie then
Burriss has to catch that DFA bus outta town. Bring up someone who might even accidentally get a hit
eickhoff was supposed to be awesome and Bryce harper sucks....ive officially heard it all

Who said that?

Doobie up to .333
Maik Maik down to .244
Choke down to .183
Goddammit.
4-0 lead is about to disappear
i got vizcaino on my fantasy team so a save would be cool
Me too.
But no.
Phillies win, you dick. That's cooler
wont get mentioned because this should be all about vv melting down, but odubs was on base 4 times and scored 1 run
guys i dont think this offense is any good
I'm fine with him leaving Vinnie in there. Low pitch count. Learn to work out of a jam.
Tommy Joe has to come up. Maybe Knapp too.
knapp sucks. joseph does too, but hes worth a look over darren rough and the shattered carcass of choke
Don't you dare diss Choke.
Doooooooooooobie!!
Jesus come on Franco
maik plate discipline is horrible
he is going to fail miserably in this sport if he keeps doing this
Ruf...get off this team
Blanco getting hit hurt their chance of scoring. He gets the run home
farging hell
Rupp bails them out
Shocking
Rupp came through!!!!
and the guy im facing has jenmar....great job phillies, i hope you love this hentz win
Caring about your fantasy team over a Phillies win. That's you to a tee.
these arent real phillies wins, well they clearly are to you because you think they can win the world series
i was fine with a 4-0 win, but would it be that hard for them to win without jenmar getting a save.
Justify it anyway that makes you feel better, buddy.
g1 - nola
g2 - vv
g3 - helly
g4 - admo
sound good?
why do you care so much about a team that obviously sucks so bad?
enjoy the wins while you can douche.
you dont like sports that much so obviously you dont get it
apparently i am enjoying baseball much more than you right now.
Lol
I think lil guy needs a hug. poor kid cant find any joy in life.
I'm with him
I care infinitely more about jp hitting .250 than I do these stupid wins
really ? wow, such a surprise.
He has a .385 OBP. He'll be fine.
he's a bum. cut him.
im not concerned with the 250 because average is kind of a random stat. back of the baseball card havas cant let go of that shtein.
tommy joseph got the call today. hes going to play 1B against lhp and maybe even some rhp. deserved, will be interesting, but keep in mind:
QuoteTommy Joseph comes up 7 months after passing through waivers and being taken off 40 man roster, 5 months after being passed over in Rule 5
yeah getting hits is a meaningless stat
Freddie galvis must be awesome then
OBP is an important stat but batting average is random?
Ookay.
five star prospects hitting .250 in AA is awesome as long as they draw some walks

its more at bats than crawford has right now this year. if you combine his stats from last year at AA, hes hitting 262.his OBP is up 30 points from last year, too. he has 30 hits and 25 walks right now, which is awesome.
short answer: if crawford performs at this % rate in the bigs and herrera continues what hes doing, the phillies are going to score a ton of runs as long as they have even semi competent players in the middle of the order (which they currently do not have). this is good!
Ruf down Joseph up. Joseph starts at 1b tonight and bats 6th.
make the most of it tommy.
.262!!!
what's he hitting if he goes 0-4 tonight?

the best part of the joseph thing is rough got sent down, NOT burris. i hope he lasts for the entire season.
not so Goedell

One of the worst things about the www/social media/24hr sports networks is that it gives me way too much access to athlete's thoughts and personalities and opinions, and more often than not, I'm going to despise said athlete down to a molecular level. If there's one thing I miss about life, say 20 years ago, it's being able to enjoy an athlete being great at sports and not knowing or caring how much of a fleshpop he is.

Yes, but there's a difference between being an icehole and being a genuinely terrible human being. Schmidt, by most accounts was kind of dickish towards fans away from the field, but that was something that few people actually got to see. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but back in 93 I don't think it was common knowledge that Schilling was a right wing bigot. He was just a fleshpop.

Choke!

big swing was the nola AB....from a missed bunt to 0-2 to a walk. that might be the game since nola is dealing is and cinci stinks
8 of the last 13 batters have reached base against him
key now is to get a few more runs so farging hector and Jeannie don't have to pitch
votto chokes up so god damn far with 2 strikes...he looks like an 8 year old who isnt strong enough to hold a bat
commish baby
still hasn't struck out in may
best case scenario hes a 4th OF for them....i dont see how he can ever play as a singles hitting corner of
but hes improved enough to take at bats away from david lough, so yay?
I agree but he has the tools the be an invaluable bench piece on a good team....speed defense and if he learns to hit a ph....basically a bench victorino
wtf
that was a horrendous throw but why is Freddie trying to make a magic scoop...farging just stop the ball
Awful throw and an even more awful stab at it by Freddy
And here goes the lead
farging hell
Yooooo that's strike three

phillies have the 7th best record in baseball
a win and dc loss puts them into a tie for 1st
Helluva way to end that game. I went through that play with the Reds' announcers, who were "very interested" in how the review would be ruled. Just an outstanding throw by Goeddell and an even better play by Rupp to hold onto it.
And I know that the Phils' won't be able to keep this up all season. The pitching is light years ahead of where I thought they'd be, but the offense just can't support this level of success or the long term. One thing is for certain: I am enjoying Phillies baseball a hell of a lot more in 2016 that I ever dreamed.

That's right Geo, ENJOY. This won't last, pitching has been very good and Nola/VV are nice building blocks. They're in the bottom three of MLB in batting. They're 3 or 4 out come June 1, it will make for a fun summer.

And that's why I said talk to me in June. The Tigers/Cubs roadies will be tough.
The best thing I can say about this stretch is at least I've been able to have something to pay attention to other than the stupid Bradford shtein they keep dredging up. I still think the "luck" they've been having with close games will even out and they don't have anyone who can hit the ball on the regular other than Odie Mae, but still, it's been fun at least.

one positive was jp's at bats...they are insane...he ultimately doesn't end up doing anything with them...but he had three different double figure pitch at bats that had at least 12 foul balls btwn them

They are tied for the fewest runs in baseball. I've been entertained by the wins but I don't think there's any big mystery about what this team is right now. Hopefully their young bats can become half as effective as their young arms have been.

you aren't a real fan if you don't hate winning.
His clownish trolling is just predictably absurd, though.
I think 3-3 is actually more apt considering they've been over .500 all year, but the Cubs haven't played great lately after their torrid start, so it stands to reason they'll come at them roaring. The Tigers don't impress me at all so taking 2/3 isn't unreasonable.
I wouldn't be surprised by anything with these guys especially if the pitching holds up. Their hitting is historically putrid so anything goes.
I don't get the "tank" mentality in baseball though. there's like 200 rounds in each draft. there's a ton of talent available beyond #1.

I wouldn't be surprised by anything with these guys especially if the pitching holds up.
they have zero chance to finish above 3rd in their own division.....but ANYTHING is possible!
their next 25 games or so are brutal....they will def be under .500 then and well out of the division...and all this silly school boy excitement while cute will have seemed so ridiculous
yeah cause god for bid anyone find 1% of enjoyment out of some wins.
stupid school boys. all of you.
ignorance is not a virtue

Little known fact... In every game they've won in 2016 they've scored more than their opponent.
trend setters !
Even the worst team in MLB ends up winning against the best team like 25% of the time (which is why the Phils swept the Nats), so I don't think expecting 2-4 is unreasonable. And I'm not even sure the Tigers are all that good.
nobody here is under any misconception about this team. not even J.
but it's not a bad thing to see them winning some games to fill the void until the eagles' mini camp starts.
Anything better than 0-6 is homeetastic.
Real talk.

fargin a right baby!
And that's why I said talk to me in June.
You understand that anything includes them going 0-6, right?
you said anything is possible if their pitching holds up....so when you said that you meant in the next six days?....
what about over the next five months?....you are at least admitting that NOT anything is possible...like winning the division for example
I never said it was a remote possibility. I've said again and again and again and again that their hitting is putrid and the pitching has overachieved and will eventually be gotten to when teams get tape on these guys. Nothing's changed there. Nothing else has changed with respect to me enjoying the wins they've piled up so far. It's been fun and quite unexpected. Unlike you I can enjoy these wins. I'm not a miserable prick who hopes they lose every time out. You are. Embrace it, trollio.
so anything is possible over the next six days but no chance they make the playoffs....that actually reasonable I just didnt understand the idea what you would talk about pitching holding up or not holding up over less than a weeks time period
that was a sick ass at bat
wow ceaser is a pos....ruins an amazing 14 pitch at bat in two pitches
Glad I missed the stupid argument today.
News at 10 - igy hates people enjoying the Phillies winning.
I don't mind enjoyment I just hate fake excitement or rage and mostly delusion....I immensely enjoyed odubels at bat a few minutes ago....but I wont care if they lose this game
Phillies give away an out literally every game now and mack does not a damn thing about it
My excitement ain't fake. Check yoself.
Cesar...Jesus Christ man
and that's why they needed to miss miggy
What a farging play by Doobie!!
Wow
Motherfarging Maik Maik!
key there was not the homer but that he hit it off an off speed pitch
if theyre going to get 1 its gotta be tonight...pelfrey is not good at pitching
the problem is the Phillies are the offensive version of pelfrey

high pitch counts come with the territory of high strikeout pitchers (do the math, j), but he cant be this inefficient.

his problem is so much is high and hard right now...lots of foul balls off that stuff...he needs to develop some off speed stuff that he can use down in the zone as well as locate his heat down so that he can get some ground balls early in counts that will shorten at bats
odubel is so ill

thats a solid joke that would work during a middle of the pack koq episode
well done buddy
I channeled my inner Igy Spooner there
how do you not ph for choke there
Atta boy choke good job
Dook hasn't had a single since April 29th
its one thing to play him....big deal hes getting at bat over david low...but why the farg is he 4th
Ummm why was Doobie taken out?
benched for not hustling on that ground out I assume
youre hopeful thats it....did have that bad back
he had three singles where he looked one million percent....then loligagged on that play where the pitcher double clutched it....not saying he would have been safe or should have been benched but it seems clear that that was the reason...I rewound it several times and watched and he didn't appear to be in any pain whatsoever
i mean it probably is disciplinary but it could be injury
lets speculate!
I don't know who is saying he is hurt and not benched but I would call it invention versus speculation after watching it happen
its 1 of 2 possibilities...well 3 if you think he was abducted by aliens
i have no idea what this conversation is even about
choke is 4 for 67 with 42 strikeouts and a .060 avg when he gets 2 strikes on him
j be like
(https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/tumblr_mn3igad93x1qdana6o2_500.gif?w=650)
So Doobie was benched? For?
It's time for Choke to sit. He's hard to watch right now
he didn't run out a ground ball that no player would have run out....problem was the pitcher kind of double clutched and made an awkward throw...would have been out anyway but it made it a bad look...either way cant you just scold him in the dugout versus taking him out of the game when hes your only good hitter
1 down 5 to go
Choke is one big heaping pile of shtein. I don't feel sorry, it's not painful to
watch, it's the norm and it's just shtein. All there is to
it. He's dog shtein.
hes Mike Schmidt in 1989...this is what happens to athletes when they get old...unfortunately he cant retire like Schmidt as there is way more money involved

Nothing more negadelphian than Havas counting down the L's for the local nine
great move by pete benching doobie. he set the bar on hustle/effort early on for these young guys.
they give away outs on the bases and at bats literally every night and no one gets benched....players also don't give 100% on grounders every single time (no team does)
this is also odubels second time or third time being called out by mack....this goes back to last year...so clearly he didn't set any bar
nothing whatsoever was accomplished last night unless you are an old dood who thinks everyone ran out every ball in the 1950's but don't now
I would almost guarantee odubel doesn't give 100% on a ground ball sometime in the next month...maybe even sooner...and 100% someone wont go all out tonight
awesome job pete :yay :yay
farging A right good job. If the players dog it sit their asses.
so if you managed the tigers, you would bench miguel cabrera after he jogged to 1st on a weak grounder.
ok.
uh oh, here comes timmy kurkjian to drop sum baseball knowledge.
I would expect effort from every player on the team. It's called being a professional and that's something your generation can't grasp. You're lazy, spoiled and self-indulgent Hoydas who wouldn't know what a hard day's work looks or feels like. You can push buttons on gadgets, though. Which is nice.

but elders aside i don't get how people in general
intelligent baseball fans much of the time
don't understand the nuance between a sharp grounder right back to the pitcher or a week pop to second base and a ball in the gap that you didnt come out of the box fast enough on and could have had a double
there are times not giving your all should be punished
but a friggin routine grounder by your best player that even if bobbled wasnt going to be safe is not one of them.
and how many times is freddie galvis or ceaser going to run themselves off the base paths before they get sat down
last night was just stupid

what exactly does this prove ? the debate isnt whether others in the world have ever been lazy or loafed around at work, it's whether a person should deal with backlash because of it.
its simply unrealistic to expect a player to sprint down the line like its game 7 of the world series on every single at bat....human nature takes over in most cases. you get your rare perfect GRITTY specimens like utley who do but most players would do the exact same thing odie did
i didnt have a problem with mack sending him a message to just prove a point, but its not going to work.
I'm saying give a solid effort every time you're out there. I'm not saying everyone has to be Charlie Hustle.
And I give my best effort at work. Not every minute of every day, no, but my job doesn't require that. It requires intelligence, preparation and organization and I'm damn good at it. At middle age I rose from the bottom of the department to just under a top slot in the department.

My work doesn't require maximum physical effort, IGY. His does. When he fails to give it he's subject to the admonishments of his boss (manager).

Nice little ole by Franco there.
2 down 4 to go....and the tigers according to romey were the not impressive team
Have you watched baseball this year? They've been rather pedestrian and Ausmus has been on the hot seat.
But hey cool you're happy they've lost another
and they are still better than the phillies...the point is no phillie fan should be talking shtein about the tigers or a team with miguel cabrera
I cringe at what the cubs are going to do this weekend
you still got the FIGHTins at 4-2 on the trip after tonight?
it wasnt about them being pedestrian....it was their lineup most likely scoring more than 4 runs and the phillies inability to match that
same goes for the cubs series. the phillies pitching can shutout miami and washington but these cats are different
Quote from: MDS on May 24, 2016, 09:13:42 PM

yup...they have a bunch of really really good hitters that the Phillies offense cant dream about matching...the only chance for the Phillies to take a game from them was if that ball that hit Cabrera sunday had somehow kept him out of the lineup
in the series Cabrera rbi = 4 Phillies runs =4
without look how many 5-4 or 6-5 type of games have the phils won? like 1 or 2?
maybe 1 game this week the pitching is great and they can front run or something but when they get these types of offenses they dont have much of a chance. the good thing about how this week shook out is vv getting both squads....so far not good.
Yaaaawn.

My opinions on that nonsense are well documented. I did notice it in the highlights, and look, I'm no unwritten rules dickhead either. I just think showing up your opponent is low rent beer league bullshtein. I played in an era where you acted like you've been there before and showboating was really looked down on. Not as much as not hustling but close.
What can I say... I'm old school.

oh poor j....not everyone is a simpleton homer. boohoo for little old YOU
newsflash. 1-3.
Enjoy it, Phillie "fan"
like ive said before....youre not a big picture guy. you dont really follow the minors or the analytical side of the game. you just put on the teevee and root root root for the phillies. thats fine.
im much much more into it than you, and cant take their slightly over .500 record seriously. its fun that theyre playing well and putting on a decent show most nights, but the expiration date for them hanging around contention is very likely here. thats fine. they still have enough young players to watch and more should be on the way over the course of the summer.
i think 2017 will be more fun, but likely not enough to compete. 2018, if everything goes well, will be the year to start really taking what goes on on the field seriously. see you there.
You got one thing right - I don't go for analytics.
Other than that? Swing and a miss.
The day you're more into it than me is when I'm dead.
im not getting into a who's the bigger fan contest...thats just utter nonsense
but i can guarantee i follow the organization and sport closer than you do. im not bragging by any stretch of the imagination. the end result may have the same effect on us, in terms of "caring." you definitely care more about winning games this season than i do.
j is one billion % the fan that we are...hes just a completely different animal...hes a daily please win every game so i can tweet skip bayless on twitter and beef with opposing fans...text "go phils" to his astro fan friend...etc...he cares more about other teams players and fans than he does his teams but he doesn't care less about his teams than we do
we care more about the Phillies 22nd ranked prospect than we do tony romo
but when the phillies start winning meaningful games and are a contender we all care the same
I feel as if I should be paying you guys for the psychoanalysis
Been on this board since roughly 2002, none of us are any bigger fans than the rest. How we root is just different.
mds is the nerdy analytical fan

Could not agree with you more. this has been a pleasant surprise. Honestly, it was the bums who should have been the ones in the Braves position. 15 games out, struggling, embarrassing, but it was expected. 2.5 games out was not. It's not going to last, we all now that. Enjoying. Next season will be fun and 2018 but more realistically 2019 we can all stress out again like we did 2007 - 2011.
I don't see how next season is any more fun than this year in terms of wins and losses...unless klentak goes off course and signs some difference maker fa's....the fun will be in seeing jp nick Williams maybe another young arm....which will be awesome but it actually might mean less or same wins as this year
itll be more fun because
g jp
cesar kingery
howard
bourjos williams
cuzzo
altherr
hellickson thompson
morgan efflin
lively
appel
and some bullpen arms!
you are way more bullish than me on their prospects but yes I agree the more prospects up the more fun....its just not going to translate into wins and maybe actually mean more losses
btw no chance kingery goes from Clearwater to philly in the next 10 months
i never said more wins, just more fun
kingery will be in AA 2nd half and start 17 in AAA....hes a college kid expected to move through the system quickly. could i be wrong? MAYBE!
kingery future 2b maybe....kingery in philly next year no way

pulling half seasons at each level is very common. that would get him to the bigs summer 17.
not saying it will happen, but its in the mix along with 100 other things.
you are saying summer of 2017 like it's not next year
im saying kingery playing 3 months at each level, if all goes well, then moving on is a realistic path.
well know for sure within a month or two if he gets a promotion to reading. im not even sure about williams this year considering his mediocre output against lhp and bad k/bb ratio. strap in.
I think nick gets sept this year but I agree it's not close to a guarantee

Stick to the NBA.
but Peter bourjas' plate approach is broke!!
You pick the worst hitter to point out
How about Franco, Herrera, Hernandez and others?
A zesty offense needs value from every AB. Work the pitcher and get his count up to get him out. But i don't expect you to get that bc it gets in the way of your "Phillies suck and need to lose" narrative.
Hernandez is a minor leaguer and odubel has been great
so your approach at the plate fit revolves around one player?
It's ok to admit when you're wrong once in awhile
every single thing I've told you about this team has been true....less cheerleading and more listening would serve you well even tho I know this isn't possible
so do you god
You've forgotten that I acknowledged early and often that their offense stunk and they'd win 74?
But that doesn't mean they can't still be better in their approach at the plate.
I mean I said that and you jump up like what I said is wrong.
it's not wrong it's just meaningless and stupid
And why is that?
because 'they' can't be better cause they suck

How about Franco, Herrera, Hernandez and others?
lol @ lumping pos cesar in with the 2 players that matter...come on man
herrera has a flawless approach. hes one of the most productive players in the game right now. franco has the talent but needs a makeover, his sub-300 obp is a joke
You two are enormously dense

saying that all cesar hernandez, or any other non herrera/franco phillie, needs to do to improve is have a better approach to the plate is not correct
cesar hernandez does not possess the talent needed to be a major league player. he can approach all the approaches he wants. he still sucks.
Ok. Again. He can still have a better approach at the plate.
You're not this stupid.
BUT IT DOESNT MATTER AND YOU SHOULDNT CARE
It does and I do
yeah that's what we've been saying for ten years
Congrats?
I mean it's baffling that you and lil guy don't want wins
and it's mind boggling to us how you don't get nuance
call it a tie?
Sure.
Having a tie will help prep you for your soccer trip with lil guy this summer
lol
so just to get this straight j you still expect cesar to play well even though he doesnt have enough talent?
I expect him to have a better approach at the plate
This isn't something you can find in your spreadsheets
haha good one! spreadsheets!
anyway cesar doesnt have a good approach to the plate because he sucks. bad players have bad at bats. cesar is a bad player. i couldnt care what he does.
lil guy why are you still doing this
because i love j and i want to fix him
He's still a big leaguer
When a pitcher is cruising you adjust your approach at the plate.

Harper gave him the death stare
such a dumb move by the nats to take harper out after that inning and not after he got hit
that was a double play
you cant win 1 run games forever
why did the commish throw that ball to a cut off guy on the left field line
what is this ump doing
nats first team this year to realize hector doesn't throw the split for strikes so they literally are looking for it and just not swinging
religious zealot is insane
Mack should've left Hellickson in
He was at 79 pitches
players love mack and for good reason, hes not ryne sandberg, but his blind use of choke and overuse of journeyman bullpen arms isnt a good look
if hes making decisions in 2018 things could get iffy
that's classic hindsight being 20/20

just an atrocious at bat by tj
without looking name the phillies starter with the highest AVG behind odubel
hint: its not mike franco
never seen a worse base running team in my life
The base running does continue to be atrocious.
Helluva turn by Cesar on the 4-6-3 and an even better catch by Doobie
Second highest average? Hmmm...I'll guess Goeddel
This isn't going to be the answer but as of a couple weeks ago I noticed the batter with the second highest WAR was Chooch.

You posted something positive. Are you ok?
ive never not been positive about their rebuild as a whole
difference between me and you guys is that i dont give a farg about wins or losses this year and don't have some unrealistic notion about how good they could be
I care about what nick Williams does tonight not the Phillies cutting the nats lead to four and a half games
We have other differences but you're always posting doom and gloom shtein in here. The fact that you posted something that was outwardly positive made me worried for your safety - like you'd been kidnapped and were crying out for help
Glad you're ok, buddy!
they suck....why would you not admit that since its an obvious and hard truth
but this years team and the rebuild are two separate entities...and really even for the rebuild its been a bad year (small sample size notwithstanding) thus far
thanks for the concern tho

Why can't you do both, root for them to win and care about the rebuild? Why even bother watching if you don't care if they win or lose? There's not enough young talent up for me to watch just to see how they do unless we're talking about VV taking the mound.

you absolutely can do both.....nothing wrong with that...that's just not me...not how my sports clock ticks....I just cant bring myself to care about wins for a zesty team that should be going for the highest draft pick possible not rack up an unsustainable april record
as for the youngsters theres more than enough...last year I in large part didn't watch...but this year has full season nola - odubel...franco...neris...vv...eickhoff and the commish...thats more than enough for me to watch every game
There's our IGY.
❤️
But why watch Eickhoff when he's a 6th starter bro
he's a potential 5/6....he could shock and become a 4...why would you not watch a young guy who could be part of their future rotation...what a silly question
Why watch anything until they win the World Series?
Parade or bust, yo!
these young guys will potentially be on said World Series team...nothing better in sports than to see the birth of a future contender
it's why philly sports is so exciting right now

Totally agree. I entered the season with the mindset just enjoy watching the young ones develop and the minor league talent work their way up. Rebuild is still a few seasons away. The 6 games over .500 excited the crap out of me. Never saw that coming, yes it was only May but I'll take it. Found myself drinking the Kool Aid and getting all pissed off when they started this reality check of a schedule as expected last week and had to ground myself.
Deep breath and enjoy. Let's party in 2019.
facing a milwaukee brewer spot starter they have 3 hits thru five
their lf and rf werent on the team as of yesterday afternoon
Paredes with the hatrick
Awful with the tying run on 3rd
i cant blame macker for trying something different, but that dude was put on the street in may
what was anyone expecting
Foreign concept to you but one could reasonably expect him to get the run home from third with less than two outs off some shteinbag AAAA dood.
without looking j how often do you think teams score with a runner at 3rd and 1 out
Ooh good question.
65%?
close. very close. 66.
jimmy parades is a pretty bad player, so the % chance for him is going to be lower than that.
Does bbref have that as a team stat?
I'm curious now
im not sure but im guessing it correlates fairly closely to RS, meaning the phillies number is gonna be ugly
use the google machine and figure it out

Vinny's control an issue again
Out at 4.1 ip
Sheesh
Oooh some manager player drama
Mack didn't like Vinnys exit
vinny needs to throw strikes....hes a farging mess
Yeah no real breaking ball control and his FB is spotty
hes still very much a work in a progress...his breaking pitches are not even close to ready
still not 100% sure hes a starter. they could move him to the pen tomorrow and hed become a top 10 closer
he only knows how to throw he doesn't know how to pitch yet...and he has no secondary pitches whatsoever...he really should be in AAA working on this
the super 2 deadline is in a week or so...efflin has to come up then
i wonder if itll be for morgan, who stinks, or if they send down vv to focus more on his development
Gotta be Morgan
Let Vinny stay up and get the experience

but he definitely might be!
hes just a machine
He's killing them
amaro got a bad rap....but the major thing he did wrong without monty puppet strings was trade lee to the mariners, which in turn led to trading for bored fossil oswalt. villar was in that deal.
he mightve wound up going in the justifiable pence trade a season later, but still.

Vv is fine, he's young and needs to learn some control. Not sure what else you were expecting.
uhhhh hes been flat out bad since early may. 5.12 era that month and his first start in june wasnt much better.
he has the tools to be a good pitcher but it remains to be seen if he can actually put it together. like i said early in the season, hed be a great closer. not a bad fallback.
control isnt so much his issue as developing breaking pitches. his first couple of starts were largely aided by an electric fastball that the nl hadnt seen. didnt take long for everyone to get on him. you cant be a starter in this league with 1 pitch.
Thanks for your scouting report. He's only 23 and should be pitching in triple a. He's exactly what I expected, has the stuff but needs to develop. Again, I was expecting exactly what we're seeing. Maybe you guys should taper your expectations a bit.
lol
hes not a lost cause by any stretch but to say hes fine is a quite rosy outlook
hes not 21....hes 23 and has no second pitch much less a third and is brain dead when it comes to knowing how to pitch
its 50/50 right now as to whether hes a starter or a closer....btw there would be nothing wrong with getting a future closer in a trade but as a sp hes far from fine
fine

They're not learning anything at AAA that they couldn't learn in the Majors. The only reason the Phillies won't pull the trigger is they don't want the service time clock starting too early. The longer they sit at AAA, the better. Every major league franchise pulls the same shtein, so it's not like the Phillies are unique in that regard.
has nothing to do with service time

no
the service time threshold is exploited primarily by small market teams looking steal an extra year of arbitration. the cubs did it to bryant last year because they only needed to have him in AAA for a week. none of the phils prospects at AAA are ready yet. you dont bring crawford or williams up so they can hit .150 and embarrass themselves. youre smarter than this.
crawford, im guessing, will be up in september when lehigh's season ends to get his feet wet a bit. williams might or might not be up before that depending on how he improves against lhp. both will enter camp in 2017 with a chance to win jobs, but theyll have to beat out replacement level players (galvis, asche) in order to do so. well see.
I selfishly wanted VV to play for the Phils this season so I could watch him. In reality the smart thing to do before the season would have been to assign him to the pigs so he could work on his curve. You'd have to be blind to not see his potential. The most important foundation for any power pitcher is a dominant fastball. He shouldn't be in the majors, but since he is, he's experiencing growing pains that should have been worked out at triple a. I hardly fault the Phils for making him their 5th starter, he has a bonafide major league arm and as a 5th starter it's low pressure. Taper your expectations for the guy and appreciate his potential.
At least with VV I don't get the "this guy is never going to matter" feeling I get watching Franco this season. Not yet, anyway.

why do you think your astros gave him up
walking injury
hopefully its a dead arm....but more likely his shoulder is going to need to be reconstructed
if he ever has a career in the majors you gotta think its as a closer for sure now
my guess is dead arm...they all seemed to know something wasnt right. if it was major, they probably wouldnt have let him pitch to begin with.
efflin next?
i think he pitches tonight so it makes sense
looks like biceps "soreness" for vv
Hoping for dead arm too obviously.
Fingers crossed
its not a sore arm...its a biceps injury...which is common for people who have had tommy john
efflin was scratched tonight, so its going to be him

Moniak fails the name test and the look test and the earliest he would contribute is 2020. I'm about 50/50 on whether he ever plays for the Phillies.
Don't tank in baseball.
unless harper or strasburg are at the top
really there is nothing wrong with tanking in baseball...if you aren't going to win then lose big...thats sports 101...at least I baseball there is no lottery to screw you
its just that philly teams don't get lucky like other cities....they get moniak drafts where there wasn't two guys to choose from at the top there were 5-6 guys they could have taken

Most MLB drafts are Moniak drafts. When Griffey goes into the HOF next month he will be the first #1 pick to do so, which is a world away from the NBA, NFL, and even NHL. And the Phillies are one of two teams over the last 25 years to draft a guy #1 who made a meaningful contribution to a World Series winning season with them (the other being Luke Hochevar last year who is a fine reliever but isn't exactly a superstar either) so I don't think the Philly woe-is-me stuff applies here.
Most of baseball's dominant franchises rarely if ever see the early picks in the draft. As a big market team presumably capable of hiring big market scouting, developmental coaching, and management, the Phillies if run correctly should never need to suck for 8 years and then get lucky enough to pull two face cards like the Nats did. Just develop a deep bench of quality players from later in the draft and plug up the holes with free agents like the other big boy teams do, and like the Phillies successfully did in the late 90s and early 2000s. The Phillies inability to grow even a couple meaningful players during the Amaro years is the outrage, not failing to be abnormally lucky like the Nats were (the Nats who have yet to win a playoff series). The Phillies have historically been a loser franchise, but it's not bad luck or a Philly curse, it's ineptness that has come down from the top.
they are all moniak drafts except when they aren't...and when the nats puck first overall
either way if you have no chance for the playoffs and aren't an up and coming team you should tank and go for 1-1....always
I think his point is shut up about your Nats.
phils got this cat at 78...mlb has him at 47
three high schoolers for them thus far
Quotecole stobbe - ss
No Nebraska high school position player ever has been selected in the top two rounds or 60 picks in the Draft, but Stobbe could become the first this June. He's an infielder with a chance to have average or better tools across the board once he moves off shortstop, and scouts love his makeup as well. He has a track record of performing on the biggest amateur stages, helped Team USA win a gold medal at the 18-and-under World Cup in Japan last September and led Millard West (Omaha) to the Nebraska Class A championship game while earning Gatorade state player of the year honors this spring.
With his quick, compact right-handed stroke, Stobbe laces line drives to all fields. He added some strength before his senior season and drove the ball more consistently this spring, finishing among the national high school leaders with 14 home runs. He could be a .280 hitter with 15-18 homers per year in the big leagues.
An average runner with good instincts on the bases and in the field, Stobbe lacks the quickness and arm strength to play shortstop in pro ball. He should be able to handle the offensive and defensive responsibilities at either second or third base. One scout called the Arkansas recruit a poor man's version of Rockies rookie sensation Trevor Story, who was a supplemental first-rounder as a Texas high schooler in 2011.
apparently he will not be a ss doesn't have the range or arm...3b/2b
Another name fail.
At least it isn't Dakota or some shtein I guess
are people that eager to have a #hotsportstake on the mlb draft, which nobody knows jack shtein about, that they have to come up this name test thing.
efflin getting called up for tuesday, which means ill see him next sunday when i go. if he pitches decent enough, vv should replace morgan whenever he comes back.

what up 2022!
I wont search for it but you had the phils competing in 17-18
i had and have 18....they will be good on paper blee dat. not world series good, but good.
i had 17 back in 13/14 if they wouldve traded hamels and whatnot
so now its been pushed back 5 years?
no....youre reading way too much into that.
i think 18/19 are the competitive years where they challenge for the playoffs, maybe make it, but dont really go anywhere
2020 is when shtein gets real
sixers or phillies?
both!
who wins their division first
hmmmm
id say phils because the nl east should be open for them quicker. id expect the sixers to win a playoff series first though if that makes any sense.
Efflin is getting destroyed
good or bad you cant really make a determination of a pitcher until a few starts in
but i will say this
eflin sucks
He was straight hanging pitches dead center of the plate.
6th worst pitching debut in the history of baseball (game score was 5)
Blame Canada.
QuoteTHEME OF THEIR DRAFT: Track record. The Phillies began the draft by taking SoCal prep outfielder Mickey Moniak (1), who played at most of the major events on the amateur scouting circuit. Then they took prep righthander Kevin Gowdy (2) and prep shortstop Cole Stobbe (3), both of whom participated in the Area Code Games, played for Team USA, and started off their summers with strong showings at the Perfect Game National Showcase. The Phillies also added Oregon lefthander Cole Irvin (5), a strong power conference college performer.
UPSIDE GUY: Mater Dei outfielder Josh Stephen (11) showed very well with the bat this spring, and could be a steal if the Phillies are able to sign him.

Thank you for that stat. Got my fellow Hawaiian Phils fan all worked up this morning texting him how bad Effln looked. He was trying to sell me the whole it's only his first start shtein. He was awful today. Can't wait to through this at him.
within a week or so, the phillies should have the 3rd or 4th most losses in baseball
going to be super tough to catch atlanta or minnesota, but top 5 is basically a lock and top 3 is definitely a possibility

jp crawford hitting .429 in his last four games
Well yeah considering I said wait until June bc of the schedule yeah.
So now you and lil guy can get your L watch on
the l watch was on during spring training....it took a very special brand of homer to think that them being a few games over in may was going to lead to anything
but i hate them so much im going to 2 games this weekend on top of driving down to dc last weekend for a game. go all other teams. booo j's favorite team.
Alex Asher popped for 80 games for PEDs.
no wonder he was so good this year
phils have tons of organizational depth at pitching, but unless jake thompson can establish as a mid-level starters, none of it is really good. i said 2 years ago but theyre simply going to need to go outside of the organization for a top tier pitcher. they certainly can afford one.
Such a shtein ass rule
Take a bow MLB
didn't even take until july for the league to catch up to nola and make him their bitch
He should just retire
If not maybe he can catch on somewhere as a mop up guy.

Easily EJ
I should be surprised but I'm not

me: sign him.
we're like friends now
You covered the game?
nah my lezzie hooked me up with hof club jawns, i saw macphail coming out as the game ended
i touched him on the back it was weird
lol your lezzie? She hot?
Good that macphail is disgusted
bryco is disgusted
This shtein the past few games ought to make them all disgusted. It's one thing to lose, but another to play like they have in recent times.
Turned the game off after the 5th to the Royals-Tigers and I'm better off for it.

just be patient and shtein
The good news is they're not going to waste money next year on free agents. In 2018, though... LOOK OUT.
Wins/losses don't bother me, I just wish their games were more competitive again. I'll be there today. Go Phils.

Pretty much. I knew that the early season success was a mirage, but this last stretch has been unwatchable.
itll eventually even back out
right now they are paying hard for being 7 games over....just the numbers crashing back down to where they're supposed to be in a rough way
its not going to even out...they are way closer to this than to seven games over .500
in fact they are probably this...their roster is the hindenberg
im talking about the complete noncompetitive, unwatchability of these games
theyre going to lose A LOT but just by sheer random chance theyll keep it closer more often
6.5 out the wc

The Florida State League had their all-star game in Fort Myers today, so I took the family. Nine Clearwater players were on the squad. Four were in the starting lineup, and Thomas Eshelman was the starting pitcher. Thresher Mitch Walding won the pre-game home run derby. It was hot as hell, but no rain, lightning, alligators or Zika.
You all care.
I actually do care and followed it...walding and especially eshelman are garbage

I'm still trying to enjoy this. It's a bitch but damn I'm trying.
only five teams have a worse record now...enjoy another top 3 pick
any bryce harper types going to be in next year's draft ?
sorry jay, this is bigger than you.
the phils lineup today is bad even for them which is saying a lot
good start
gotta wonder if hellickson is hurt at this point
losses
twinkies - 48
bravos - 46
redlegs - 43
pads - 42
connie mack - 41
phils - 40
lets do this!
we are into the 4th game of this series and the Phillies have the same amount of errors as runs
This is what being a Phillies fan does to people:

they are fake nuns in a "sister act"
anyway the Phillies have scored 4+ runs against a non brewer starter once all year
Since they're no longer fun to watch I'm in on the tank
Moniak signed.
He signed for less than the #2 pick agreed for. The Ghost of Curt Gowdy is supposed to sign for in the nbhd of $3M which is double the $1.5M slotted for pick #42.
I mean, I get what they're doing, but it figures the Phillies end up with the #1 pick when there's no one there actually worthy of it.
they should have the #1 next year

QuoteJhailyn Ortiz made 3 catches out in RF. Two were exceptionally good plays where he had to cover a lot of ground to make a catch – one on a shallow fly in RCF, and the other in shallow foul territory in what used to be "Utley territory".
Ortiz also had two solid hits, one was a double to LCF.

Enjoying St. Louis-Chicago right now. Nice to see two teams that know how to play baseball.
Erik Kratz pitched better than the entire Phils' staff last night. (http://www.csnphilly.com/the700level/holy-kratz-former-phillies-catcher-dominates-while-pitching-pirates/)
he had the game winning home run the night before too
nick williams with a 719 ops against lhp. overall his 806 ops would be top 30 in all of mlb among of
jake thompson has given up 3 runs in 4 starts this month
jp's average (thats right, j, average) up to 210 after being at 153 a week or so ago. obp is 290, which bodes well when he starts hitting that he can be around 380-400 range.
#hope
secretly huge series right now
phillies will play the braves 100 more times this year, but this is their 1 crack to give the twins some wins. only a 5 loss difference between them, with tomorrow to go.

Quote from: Reuben FrankDuring the Phillies' current 6-25 stretch, they have a team on-base percentage of .216, a .217 batting average and a .630 OPS.
No wonder I keep changing the channel. Though I wonder how a team can have a lower OBP than batting average.
only three teams have a worse record
franklyn kilome pitches tomorrow on milbtv if anyone is interested
Hernandez is doing his impression of a major leaguer today.
bad win
The Phillies just put this on their facebook feed:
Quote from: Philadelphia PhilliesFreddy Galvis, RBI machine.
:sly
down to only 3 teams with less wins
real number is losses and there are also 3 teams with more than the phils
reds will be caught....braves could legit trade their best pitcher and reliever....twins have nothing to trade and too many halfway decent ML players in their lineup
think in the end it will come down to those sept phils/braves games
I def think wins are more important than losses
for the phillies losses are better than wins
lets wait til the end of the year
also the latest soccer tourney might matter

What is so cool about AT&T is the energy from the crowd. Here comes in a team 13 games out of first having an absolutely horrible month but the last two games were like playoff games for those fans. They go ape shtein on every hit, run, good defensive play, etc. It's like that every game there since they opened that place.
QuoteA Philadelphia Phillies minor league pitcher suffered a potentially career-threatening eye injury in a freak training accident in the Class A Florida State League late last week, his agent confirmed to ESPN.com Monday.
Clearwater Threshers pitcher Matt Imhof, the Phillies' second-round pick in the 2014 MLB first-year player draft, suffered a "significant injury to his right eye'' during postgame arm care band work, agent Adam Karon said.
Imhof, 22, was taking part in a routine stretching regimen after a game at Brevard County when a piece of equipment malfunctioned and he was struck in the right eye, a baseball source told ESPN.com. Imhof has undergone surgery and is likely to need further procedures, the source said.
Imhof, a 6-foot, 5-inch left-hander out of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, received a signing bonus of $1,187,900 from the Phillies as the 47th overall pick in 2014. He has struggled with his control in professional ball and recently begun transitioning from the starting rotation to the bullpen.
MLB.com ranked Imhof as the Phillies' No. 19 prospect in 2015, but did not include him among the team's top 30 prospects in its 2016 rankings.
Only shocker with this happening to the Sillies was that the player wasn't Crawford or Williams.
Well Williams was benched again tonight for managerial reasons
So there's that
its either because he slammed his helmet or didnt work the count enough
i get doing it the first time around but hes not 16 anymore.
He's not in the lineup again tonight
Reason is not running out a grounder. (http://www.csnphilly.com/philadelphia-phillies/phillies-prospect-nick-williams-pulled-again-not-hustling)

No joke: Herrera has gone from a Rule-5 "who did they take?" guy to a legit All-Star -- he's the token Phillies All-Star this year, though he's deserving -- in about 18 months. He turned out to be a solid regular last year, a little-of-everything guy without a single carrying or clearly plus tool, but the revelation this year has been his patience: He has 43 walks (tied for eighth in the NL) after never drawing more than 52 in any full season in pro ball. Some of this was because Herrera drew almost a walk per game in April, after which he has been less patient, but even if his true talent level is 50-60 walks per season, that makes him an above-average regular without any other gains in his game. The Phillies' staff did a great job in identifying him in a crowded Rangers farm system in which he was overlooked.
22. Vince Velasquez, RHP
Philadelphia Phillies
2015 rank: NR (minor leaguer)
Velasquez has been dominant at times. He scared everyone with possible arm injuries, but lately, he has been pitching more -- not just throwing all-out but using his changeup really effectively, sitting low 90s and touching 94-95 when needed. Whether that's by design or fear of injury, it's working, and in the long term, it might help him stay on the mound, as it seems that pitchers who consistently work at the highest end of their velocity ranges get hurt more often. Velasquez appears to be at least a league-average starter for now, with the potential to be a solid No. 2.

kid is now .325 7xbh 11rbi in 11 games.....bathing suit area alert
Hamels trade is incredibly promising right now. Not going to pretend to know if Eickoff can keep this up, but he was an also-ran in the deal and has been very good.
its been pretty amazing thruout the system thru a half season thus far its hard to find too many guys in their top 30 who have been massive on the field disappointments...off the top of my head appel and eshelman are the only ones I can think of
this game tonight might be one of those old fashioned 14-11 coors field johnsons
I don't care if it takes him 30 ER and 200 pitches to do it they need to make Morgan go a minimum of seven tonight...then outright him forever
Any chance they trade Hellickson for a decent prospect at the deadline? I ahven't been paying attention to trade rumors at all

BA's midseason 100 just dropped:
3. jp - crawford has gotten into some bad habits at the plate but the tools are the same.
40. nick dub - benched for lack of hustle multiple times, but excelling at Triple-A when actually on the field.
62. jake - thompson lacks star potential, but he's a nearly ready to fill a back-of-the-rotation role.
67. alfaro - alfaro is starting to live up to lofty expectations as his defense is catching up to his bat
96. franklyn kilome - has more potential than current production, but there's all kind of hope for the future.
rest of division:
nats - 4, 5, 13, 48, 61 - yikes...have a loaded ml roster and all this coming....seems unfair
braves - 7, 17, 33, 77, 78, 95 - them and the phils been in a minor league system arms race the last couple of years
mets - 18, 76 - of course many of their best are playing in flushing right now
marlins - 100
and speaking of the system mickey moniak 3-3 today and arron altherr is back with a homer and two bb
and manny machado
Rupp hit one 451 feet to dead center today. Maik Maik then follows it up with one 462 feet onto the concourse in left. Then Carlos Gonzales parks one 475 feet into the third deck in right.
Holy shtein that is busting some windows right there.
Nice win for the Phils too.

first inning of the AA all star game rhys hoskins hits a three run homer knocking in cozens and alfaro.....pretty cool
jake went off again tonight...if stupid helly had pitched a little better...he wasn't awful...this would have been quite the evening as hopefully in a few weeks a prospect is here for helly and JT is pitching at the bank
edubrays stuff was dirt dog tonight
roid monster STUMPH! comin atcha
notice how they lined up helly to be on the same day as jakey boy
sup
pretty sure a team that isn't just not in it but validly stinks isn't worrying about matching up hypothetical calls ups with major league pitchers....I mean god forbid they have to make a spot start to fit jake Thompson into the rotation
i dont think theyd want to take jake off his turn...so a spot would go to someone that doesnt matter like oberholtzer, morgan or buchanan
lol...less Phillies twitter more common sense
if he cant handle going off his turn now then they should just release him....he cant go off his turn but nola was bumped before the all star break...just stop it...all will be fine if he has to pitch on a 6th day instead of a 5th
6 days is not a spot....a spot is short notice
of course if they had 5-6 days of a heads up hes going to get the call
its ludicrous and is coming from smarter than everyone else phillie twitter trying to make up a narrative
trust me he will be fine if he doesn't mirror helly for the 2-3 weeks
i have no clue what we're talking about
the fact that they both pitched tonight is meaningless....that's pretty much it
the way they pitched is what matters

Lolol you are spot on
so one guy posts absolutely nothing and the other has the worst takes in recorded history, but im the bad guy? yea k. nah brah.
a logical landing spot for helly would be texas, since they lost out on pomeranz. boston like igy said is looking more high end if they dont already feel comfortable with price-wright-pomeranz. i wonder if theres anything the phillies can do to get profar from texas....bugs me that he wasnt in the hamels deal. hes blocked everywhere by beltre, andrus and odor.
phils might have to include a minor leaguer to get it done, but profar is legit and would be a perfect 2B.
Went today. Worst game I've ever been to.
yeah I cant imagine sitting in the heat to watch that....I was on my couch in air conditioning and was miserable
Gomez just shtein away a gorgeous game by Nola.
actually it was great.....theyll lose now and nola pitched amazing.
perfect combo
Gomez has been pretty stellar all season. Guess he was due. Friken' Marlins going to be hovering around all year. Pesty little shteins.

Was it against the Pirates? Probably the funniest thing I ever saw in a baseball game was when Chamberlain hit a monster shot to left field. Bonds was playing left and never moved. Like his hands were on his knees, the ball was hit, and he didn't even flinch.

I thought they were playing the Cubs but it could have been the Mets. Our usual seats were in dead center field, front row, so us being in left field was unusual. I just remember the crack of the bat and the ball screaming out. I expected it to drop down but it never did. Incredible. I'd been to dozens if not hundreds of games before that and never saw one go up there in person.

homers are great but rbis are reflective of opportunity and other people getting on base....a good offense should see the middle of the order guys over 100, generally. joseph isnt talented enough to hit in the middle of the order on a title contender. 1b is an important offensive position.
i dont see how joseph has a role here. he seems like a quad A player that will play a lot on bad teams

werth had an obp 100 points higher, stole bases and offered terrific defense. hes basically a ruf clone except probably shteintier.
he definitely has power and will hang around mlb because of that, but 1b is an essential offensive position and you need more production coming out of there. i think the phils sign/trade someone in 2018 unless hoskins has an amazing 2017.

Joseph's stats: .264 AVG .289 OBP .546 SLG .835 OPS (7 2B / 0 3B / 13 HR / 173 AB)
Werth's stats age 25: .262 AVG .338 OBP .486 SLG .825 OPS (11 2B / 3 3B / 16 HR / 290 AB)
Werth's stats age 26: .234 AVG .338 OBP .374 SLG .711 OPS (22 2B / 2 3B / 7 HR / 337 AB)
Can't argue the speed or defense. But Joseph's at or better than Werth power-wise at the same age, and right how his slugging is higher than Werth's career highs (.532 in 2010 and 2013). His primary deficiency as a hitter is an inability to take a walk (7 BB / 43 K).
I won't claim that Joseph is part of the long-term plans at all.
baseball is the one sport where its not really fair to pull up an individual year like that....sample size is just way too small...
see HOF's age 25 stats...or you could pull up werths age 26 year and say joseph is going to be way better than werth
TJ could chill in the league for 10 years or he could be out of the league in two...I just don't see him in any scenario being a starting first baseman on a good team

i was referencing the phillies version of werth, im guessing thats what sd was talking about, too. and to be fair, those 2 seasons with the dodgers he had about 700 PA, which is the around the number for an everyday player in 1 season. so he was always hurt and/or a bench player.
but yes its all moot because tommy joseph is likely going to be the 1b for the rebuilding rays or cardinals in 2018, not the world series contender phillies.

Quote"I don't ever try to walk," Joseph said. "I'm up there to hit every pitch of every at-bat. If you're up there to take and work a walk, then I don't really know why you would hit. It doesn't make any sense to me. Every time I step in the box, I want to hit. Every pitch that's thrown, I'm trying to hit it. I think I've just been better at taking those pitches that are just off the plate, those borderline pitches I haven't swung at."

He's looking to hit every pitch? Brilliant. How about you look to hit only the pitches you can square up on and drive into the gaps?

Jenmar looking real sharp too...sell sell sell
heyman floating that the white sox are looking to sell and that could include chris sale
hes 27...very manageable contract (youd have to throw him big money, of course)...but i just dont see how it makes sense right now. i think you need another year before you think about something like this, but obtaining pitchers like this is a rare occurrence, so you strike when you can.
too soon
No way. They're at least 2 years away plus the Sox would want top talent in return.
Pass.
I agree. Too soon and too much.
Yep same here
Don't empty the minors out for one guy
their system is deep enough, though not on elite talent, to do it. they have a ton of decent pitchers and position players and wont miss it if a few left. for me its just the nature of it being too soon....by the time theyre ready sale will be 30. just doesnt make sense.
apparently someone offered the sox a "kings ransom" for him and they said no. so whatever.
If someone offered a kings ransom for a guy who plays once a week, they're straight retarded.
Too much can go wrong with pitchers to do that. That's why you draft a thousand of them and buy hitters when your young staff hits its stride. Or supplement with the occasional ace in free agency if you have the dough (which they will).
30 isn't that old but the chances the Phillies are contenders in 2-3 years is slim to none...soooo many young players have to develop and become major leaguers...lets hope 25% of them become at least good major leaguers...when that happens then start adding huge fa/trade chips...why give up a bunch of them before we know if basically any of them are going to be long term quality ml players...they are doing it the right way now flooding the system with quality prospects and hoping the more you have the more chance a couple become all stars....if they had steven Strasberg or kris Bryant type prospects that were almost locks to become ml studs then maybe you take the chance

Hell of a game by Eflin. Big turnaround from his first couple of starts.
I was just looking at the individual leaders in cg to see where eflin stood and noticed only six teams have more than him
still think hes closer to vance worley than anything but what the farg, see where this goes
via eye test he has way better stuff than Worley...doesn't mean he will be significantly better cause of things like location and adapting to batters but hes starting from a much better place
Vanimal? Maybe, guess I can see that but he had the benefit of pitching when the bums were significant and won 102 games.

Somewhere a rumor of VV to Texas for Joey Gallo got started. As much as the Phils need a young power bat I'd pass on that unless there's more involved.
saw the jon morossi tweet about it....didnt see gallo's name
i would do it for a profar package. gallo has insane power but will be late era adam dunn is if hes lucky
Ok, I see that Pete wants to win and all that rah rah shtein but come on. Let Hellickson throw a few more. 70 pitches through 6. Shocking the cold as ice duo of Asche and Bourjos can't do shtein with men on 2nd and 3rd so call Hellickson back and send Choke up and of course he K's. Stupid.
It was the right call, the problem is Blanco's hurt so he had to send the K king up to the plate.
Either way another solid outing by Hellickson, his trade value will never be higher. I hope they can package him with a player like Bourjos and get something worth a damn.
I guess the Marlins didn't read the TJ interview when he said he tries to hit every pitch...after five straight balls thrown almost anyone else doesn't swing until a strike is thrown...next pitch is grooved and TJ jumps all over it

I hope that Red Sox rumor has some validity as their farm system is loaded right now.

Sign that the trade market has officially gotten out of hand: Jeremy Hellickson may well fetch at least three, and perhaps four, prospects.
I don't think quantity is as important as quality...if you told me Jeremy hellickson will get you a top 100 prospect then id say its out of control

obviously its a need for need swap....rangers need arms phils need bats
I just hope that everyone in the know realizes that gallo is a pos
profar or mazara have to come back or else its pointless....need a ML ready guarantee. but yes gallo farging sucks.
profar seems more likely since the rangers have an infield set. they need mazara right now, hes an everyday player for them. im getting hard thinking about a franco-jp-profar infield.
why are we talking about real prospects in a Phillies thread
Profar or Mazara for sure
How many years of control do they have on Vinny? Five? For a legit starter?
Gotta be a landslide offer
simmer down...theyre not going to rape the rangers
the good thing is the philles have some good pitching depth and definitely can recover
The Heidi deal called and said hi.
deal "unlikely"
you dont say!
helly yeah
odie
stupid delay ruined eickhoff
the Eagles play at home again before the Phillies do
They didn't trade anyone.
Da fuq?!
Nice job, Klentak.
betting that helly will decline the QO and theyll get a sandwich pick next june
they were asking for a return comparable to that pick and clearly didnt get it. helly will be the top under 30 starter this winter and boras is his agent. decent bet. if he takes the offer, you can try again in a year, i guess.

Excellent point. Padres are a Community College team.
Probably not a lot of people watched this Saturday night game but it was one of those weird games that make baseball fun. In addition to Thompson getting the start, the Padres pitcher was wearing a generic "PLAYER" jersey after his normal one got ejected by the ump for being covered in pine tar, Freddy hit a double into a trash can, and the Padres stole home while the Phils were standing around jerking off.
Plus it was Ken Caminiti night so the stadium was giving out free speedballs.

With an mlb.tv account, you can do basically the same thing on your phone as long as the game isn't blacked out. It's the closest thing to being home. I spent a lot of Pittsburgh summers laid out in a city park listening to between-inning ads for 1-800-JEFF-NOW and MAB Paints.

1. We are up visiting family this weekend so this is the only time for us to go. We are already booked for Saturday night.
2. We are from the south and can handle heat. Plus, they aren't soft. I guess having my kids become fans of the Phillies means I hate them already. They might end up being Giants fans since their minor league team is in our town. This might be just enough of a traumatic event to make them swear off the Phillies.

Don't think we're to worried about the heat. Some sunscreen, plenty of water, some kid of head gear, get them in the shade periodically. Every kid should get to experience the ambiance of a big league ball park, the sights the sounds. It's what they will witness on the field that concerns me.
Borderline child abuse FTW
Jake with 4 Ks in the second inning
Howard with a monster farging Grand Slam
at this pace he actually could get traded at the end of the month....wont get a lot for him but he deserves to go somewhere with a chance at a ring

So remember that time Chase Utley returned to Philly, stood at home plate before his first at-bat and waved to the fans for a full ninety second standing ovation, and then hit two home runs including a grand slam?
That was awesome.
A fun game to be at to show love to Utley.
A bonus great play and a bomb by Choke too
But for real it was farging hot as shtein in the city today. Like Houston. Jesus.
chase 90 seconds
jimmy 45 seconds
grit
Now that I'm home
we had great seats in 120. It was my sisters first game and she had a good time. There was a nice crowd overall - originally i didn't think it would fill out but there was a ton of walk up biz. The will call lines were super long.
Chase got three standing ovations and it was awesome. I called his slam and Chokes bomb. Vinnie def needs to be a closer.
When we left we needed to get to 30th St...cabbie wanted $40 lol a hack cab was behind him so we rolled with him. He was an Uber dude pulling fares under the table. $15...which is what the cab ride should've been.
Yes, V V needs to get the hell out of the starting rotation.
I've been a fan of this team longer than most of you have been on this earth. What I saw today was pretty damn awesome and definitely a highlight for me. Very classy act by the fans in their show of respect towards Grit. You done good J!
Ditto. The standing O's after the home runs were amazing. I never thought I'd see a curtain call from a visiting player in Philly.
Chase is the man.
the first at bat thing was great.....the standing o's for a visiting player were disgraceful...then again GRIT
I remember when Barkley came back to Philly in a Suns uniform. The crowd cheered every time he scored, some kid in a Suns Starter jacket and hat came running on the court to pat him on the back when he was shooting a free throw.
I would have given Utley a standing O. The guy played his heart out for the city and the Phils are irrelevant.
I didn't mean the standing o.....that was awesome...I meant cheering for an opponent during the game...once the first pitch is thrown then settle the farg down....this isn't st louis
I would have cheered his HRs. The Phillies are irrelevant right now so who cares at this point. There are certain players who transcend (Iverson, Dawkins, Utley etc.) above a losing team as far as cheering goes. If the Phillies were in 1st place or were actual WC contenders then yeah I'd agree cheering for him hitting a HR would be disgraceful.
no one loves iverson or in the case of baseball jimmy more than me...but no farging way im cheering an iverson basket while hes in a nugget jersey or a jimmy triple in a white sox uniform...i couldnt do it if it wasnt against the phillies/sixers but against a philly team...i just dont get that...are you saying if an eagle quarterback threw an interception to dawkins you would actually stand up and cheer?
You're cheering the man, not the laundry.
i dont even cheer for the phillies much less their players....i cheer for philadelphia and farg if im going to ever cheer for an opponent against one of my teams...but different strokes
That's nice.
jo jo at the phils game looking eminently hittable
what is the rotation going to be at this point in 18?
they need to lose games and lose games now, then draft the best arm available next june
pretty sure at one point you had them winning the ws in 18 didn't you
i had them being good in 18 and a title contender in 20 or 21
they have too much money to spend and the FA class is too good in 18 for them not to buy something, but the internal rotation options have not had an impressive few months here
7.06 starters era last 18 games and eight games Ina row they don't go six or more
Hooray

you have them contending for the ws in 2018 for sure...so basically they could win it that year...either way this whole rebuild you've been at least 2-3 years ahead of schedule

theres a difference between being competitive/good and being a contender. the marlins are competitive/good this year but arent a contender.

Oh shtein. V V has looked awful. Nice job with the 10 k's Tuesday night but he just can't get past the 5th for the life of him. Thompson 103 pitches tonight and went 5.
GRIT just robbed cameron rupp of a base hit and the crowd cheered
went today
my buddy's work has a suite. free food and booze which was nice. also didnt get a drop of rain on me. other than that holy crap this was the worst game ive ever been to and i went a game earlier this year where they lost 100-0 to the diamonbacks.
Wish you'd have taken a crossbow to V V.
holy shtein has this been a disasterous year for Phillie pitching prospects
Pitching's been the bleakest, but they are still far away from an offensive core too. Wake me up when someone from the Phillies youth movement actually becomes a bona fide major league star. Given that it's the Phillies, I'm skeptical even of JP until I see him achieve good starting SS status in the bigs. No offense JP, it's how I was raised.
In 3 years Mickey Moniak will be traded to the Padres for cash and a player to be named later.
at least the offensive system is deep so you could have a few flops and still have hope
the pitching has no room for error and pretty much all of them crashed and burned this year
kilome hasnt been bad...nola you have to hope his swoon was due to injury....eickhoff has established himself as a ML pitcher, though not an especially noticeable one.....vv in the least can be a power arm out of the bullpen
thats all i got. the good thing is they got 150 mil to spend and a great FA class in 18
Agreed, crash and burn is right. That was painful to watch Thompson tonight. Between he and Vinny V :boo :boo
Chooch traded to the Dodgers
Pour one out for Ruiz
The Doyers take another 2008 Phillie. They give up AJ Ellis and some dude from Haverford College Tommy Bergjawn or something
Ellis and his BFF Kershaw aren't happy
Choke is the last man standing. With that boondoggle of a contract, it's hardly surprising. Sad that just eight years ago we though the Phillies were on the verge of a potential dynasty with a young core of stars entering their prime together.
PS: Thanks, Roob. DIAF
because choke came up so late he was basically an mvp candidate from day one so those core guys were more or less all in their prime together before 2008....2008 was the result of gillicks fine tuning...their championship window really should have started earlier
either way its revolting that they only won one title...i dont think a month ever goes by without me getting angry about that
QuoteThe known prospect the Phillies are getting back is Tommy Bergjans, the Dodgers 8th round pick in the 2015 draft. He was an underslot senior sign out of D III Haverford College. He currently has a 4.98 ERA in the Cal League, but much better underlying numbers in a 2.0 BB/9, 9.2 K/9, and 0.9 HR/9. Per a fairly recent scouting report on BP, Bergjans has 3 fringe average to average pitches with a fastball that sits 89-91. Bergjans does not have a lot of upside, but he might have enough upside to be a middle reliever or up and down starter. He will almost certainly go to Clearwater's rotation.
best I can tell the system went undefeated tonight
nope
Williamsport is 3-3 in the 9th
Alfaro is getting called up tomorrow
Sweet!
he's only up as a back up until Ellis stops crying
They should tell Ellis to farg off and stay away
reading needs him way more than the phils....he's also not near ready for the bigs...if he was they wouldn't have insisted Ellis be included in the deal
I realize this but I'm anxious for the young bucks to come up
i wanna see 22 year olds hit .150, too
your hero amaro signed all of your idols to stupid extensions. now they're rebuilding. patience, tex. PATIENCE.

QuoteJeremy Hellickson will be with the Phillies for the remainder of the season.
According to sources, the veteran right-hander was recently claimed on waivers. The Phillies were unable to work out a deal with the claiming team and Hellickson was pulled back, making him ineligible to be traded the remainder of the season.

confidence seemed to be one of the big hurdles for him.....maybe not anymore
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20160831_Mackanin_on_playing_Goeddel___What_s_the_point__.html?mobi=true
Is Pete Mack drunk?
him saying this one day after he said that choke would be sitting more in sept so he could see more of tommy Joseph makes them pretty ridiculous but even if you aren't going to play the commish what is the point of coming out and trashing the kid
Is he actually trashing him or is the headline just edited to sound that way? I thought he was saying it's more important to play guys the Phillies have to make decisions about this offseason than a guy who they are definitely still going to have in the organization next year.
I think the logic of the moves is kind of dumb but I don't think the intention was to shtein on Goeddel.
the quote probably sounded less awful in person than print
either way he couldve chosen his words better....still goedell sucks and belongs in AA (AAA if hes lucky). theyre wasting a year of his life to keep him. nothing more to say.
Quote from: QB Eagles on August 30, 2016, 09:22:28 PM
Is he actually trashing him
yes
on their own his comments did
put them in context with the tojo comments two days ago and it's even worse
Wow. That's a zesty thing to do to a guy. I mean maybe Goeddel is a farging douchebag who drowns kittens in his spare time, who knows? But for a manager to come out and basically say the only reason he's there is because my boss wants him there is a fleshpopish thing to infer in public.
I wonder how Mackanin will feel in two years when he gets fired just as the Phillies become relevant again? He might think back to this day when he threw one of his kids onto the fire pit. I doubt he will but he should.
commish batting 8th tonight
phils have the 10th pick right now
with some smart losing they could pass 7 teams. id be pleased with falling somewhere in the middle of that.
Choke isn't happy either
Says why sit him down now in his last month here?
wouldn't be a bad thing if he got to 400 homeruns before his Phillies career is over.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on August 31, 2016, 11:43:06 PM
Choke isn't happy either

no one cares if choke plays on sept 18....play tojo all month if you want....its the right thing to do....until the last series...that should be chokes curtain call and he should play every inning of those three mets games until the top of the ninth game three when he should be replaced in the field for a final goodbye walk off....would be a great scene and it would also avoid his last memory as a phillie being him lunging at a slider down and away in the dirt for strike 3
I agree with that.
The Phillies have nearly completed their rebuilding from a bunch of old guys who can't play baseball anymore to a bunch of young guys who can't play baseball. I have seen the future, and it sucks.

Yeah it looked good for a bit. I'll laugh if it lands exactly on 74.
Offense wasted another good start by a young arm. This team is disgusting right now.
It took 5 months but they've officially given up.
This is more or less what I was expecting going into the season: horrible team but promising play from the young pitchers. But most of the season has been stringing together bullshtein wins via an overachieving offense and really inconsistent and disappointing pitching.
They better hope those young hitters adapt to the bigs whenever they're called up. This is ridiculous.
its ridiculous that a team with basically no offensive talent isnt scoring runs

they cant end the mets until next weekend
if they have a chance to do that, then maybe i can see it. these 4 games dont matter.
mikey baseball
Motherfargin Maik Maik!
Gomez is shot.
What's the point of using him Pete Mack?
shtein
his babip is terrible
durrr calculators durrr
Mother of god
Assdribble with the walk off three run homer
Awful
Si.
nice little ten spot here
They're gonna blow this
10-0 is now 10-6
The Phils might as well have let a fan pitch today.
Quietly (because no one's paying attention to them) a really awful series.
The Mets piled on another 11 runs after my last post. I feel sorry for any Phils fans who went to that one.
I don't. They knew what they were signing up for. So farg them.
Turned it off when it hit 5-0. Actually chose Miami-Cleveland over the Phils. That's how bad they are right now.
first three games eagles have allowed 27 pts
last three games phillies have allowed 35 runs

A crisp hundo
73.5 is the number. Over I win.
phils at 70. 6 games left. 3 @ atl, 3 vs. mets. get swept, then sweep. leggggggo.
This will be interesting. Hopefully they go into the last day at 73 and up the drama
this is an amazing job by gelb....

The Phils should probably just unveil his plaque on the WOF before the start of his final game. Last few years have been tough. Remind the fans just how great he was let him know just how much he was appreciated.
Howard indeed had a different sound when he squared up the ball. Pure power, and to all fields. Hard to believe that the last connection to 2008 will be gone in a few short games.
Not quite the same for me as '80 since I was a kid at that point, but nearly as magical. I just wonder how long it really will be before the Fightin's are ready for another run.

Yep...the sound, even now, when he really gets into one is different than most.
He needs to be honored nice and proper like...and the dopes who booed him and threw shtein at him need to be shamed.
Howard Grand Slam
Motherfargin Choke
Now let's watch the pitching blow this

Of course because I bet the Phils ML lol
Welp.
69 runs allowed by the relievers in Sept
Granted half of the guys pitching should be Wal mart greeters but still
looks like they are going to get btwn the 8th and 10th pick
It's hard to believe that they were "that good." How awful is the depth around the league right now if the Phils aren't even bottom 5?
They have been since the first month.
Adam Morgan is Kyle Abbott reincarnated
phils need to win out for j to take the bet
j i will in vegas this weekend and legit might need that hundy in order to return in one piece k thx
these dopes actually had a team meeting after last nights game

Oh yeah, I forgot that these boneheads actually finished the first month of the season with a winning record.

To discuss what? That Macy's is highering stock clerks for the holidays?
i presume to try and rally the troops and make a late season push
They're doing it for J.
Damn right
"J needs four wins. Let's do it!"
Player only meetings when you're 23 games out with half a week to go are pivotal.
Guess Gomez forgot to attend the meeting.
pathetic applause for choke and even a couple boos mixed in
Mets fans in the house booing
Not that there's a lot of people there anyways
negative stop sucking up to the south jerz fanz...it was phille fans...i even dvr'ed it...at least a quarter of the phille fans behind the dugout didnt stand when the ball came off the bat
much louder cheer for GRIT hitting a homer for the dodgers than howard hitting a double off the wall for the phillies
yes there were more people there for GRIT...but even per capita cheers it wasnt close
farg this fanbase
I'm not sucking up to anything pal
I didn't see it so I was suggesting it was those cretins in orange and blue who could've been doing it
it wasnt...mets have great fans...yes i hate them but they would never boo a classic like choke in his last series in philly...just like phillie fans wouldnt go to ny and boo a classic met if he got a hit in his first at bat if his last series ever
im keeping this shtein on my dvr for when sunny comes down next so i can share the outrage with someone...its sickening...theres all these old white doods sitting behind the dugout not cheering
I think you're giving the mets fans a tad bit too much credit
But bottom line is choke should be celebrated the entire weekend. Standing ovation each AB
There's a lot of let's go mets chants
And like the entire 3b side is mets fans
i said this last time i heard him but my god is murph so much better than tmac and not just better than him i think he might be validly good
Agreed on Murph
Asher doing what he does
Get 9+ out in a row and then get hit around

mets fans are phiilie fans...as much as i hate ny i respect them cause them cause they like sports as much as i do...they would never do that

yup its insane....i actually thought there would be more...phillies out of it...mets can clinch...weather probably kept a bunch home

thats why hes #6
I give all NY PHL and BOS fans props because they're all real. Chicago and others have their moments. But pretty much anything south of PA is crap fan bases
if you think mets fans would boo a ryan howard hit this weekend then you cant think too highly of them
Chris Christie in the house
of all the hillary ads and i see a ton being in the virginia tv market that child one is the best
Cespedes should have been out
Pete Mack gets thrown out
Oh my Howard...that was bad
How do you not catch a popup that lands ON first base?
That was all I could take... >click<
I know the wind took it but still...sheesh

FTFY
There's like seven Phillies fans in the park today
Disgusting amount of orange and blue
Choke ties it up and gets a curtain call!
Was pulling a Dio and running errands this afternoon. Sounded like a damned Mets home game on the radio feed.
Yeah it's bad
Can't believe I watched this shtein this morning. Mets fans taking over CBP reminded me of when Phils fans took over Three Rivers in 1993 when Bums clinched NL East. Seeing the Mets celebrate in CBP didn't even phase me.
does anyone know if the choke tribute is going to be televised anywhere outside of philly
I cried like a little girl during that speech. That's what you call a class act right there.
how did you see it...is it online somewhere
MLB.TV has a freebie today. But it's on Comcast Philly, Phillies.com, etc.
http://www.csnphilly.com/the700level/watch-ryan-howard-delivers-emotional-speech-during-pregame-ceremony
I'm saving it for later but I'll probably tear up
MLB net wasn't gonna show it live bc of the David Ortiz ceremony
This is crazy.
[applause]
All this has kind of come up on me really fast. I really didn't know what I was going to say.
[Fan: We love you, Ryan!]
I love you, too.
[applause]
I just want to thank you guys, the fans, again for making this all possible. For making it fun. We had some good runs, didn't we?
[applause]
I'm just a laid-back cat from St. Louis out here trying to play ball. That's it. It's been fun, man, these last 12 years. You guys all made it possible. The Phillies, I want to thank you guys for taking a kid in the fifth round out of, well now it's Missouri State, but Southwest Missouri State University. Giving me the opportunity. This city as a whole, man. I want to thank you because I've grown with all of you.
[applause]
My family has grown with all of you.
[applause]
On behalf of my teammates, I want to thank you guys for coming out and supporting us all year. I know it's been up and down and crazy, but these guys have really worked their butts off to try to be the best that they can each day and each night on this field. To my teammates, I salute you.
[applause]
I don't really have too much more than that, man. This is great. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Let's play this game, man. Let's play this game.
chokeson deck for his last phillie at bat ever
hopefully mack pulls him from the box
Turn out the lights, the party's over....
Truly a fun time to be a Phillies fan with that core. It may be awhile before we see it again.
the phillies waited approx. six seconds after the season ended to fire steve henderson
fightins will pick 8th
http://www.philliedelphia.com/2016/10/phillies-video-club-issued-ryan-howard-tribute.html
Great dude, great memories.
the training johnson he built in point breeze will carry his legacy forever
-happy with the 8th pick
-bye choke
-j either paypal or igy style carrier pigeon will work
Lol I'll PayPal you
Jr was at the game, said even some of the mets fans were holding back tears.
what a speech. the post game interview was great as well, seeing his son up there with him being able to share that with his dad is something special.
Barry Bonds for hitting coach
Make it happen
he was fired by a pos franchise in the marlins 2 seconds after the season ended, but im sure hes awesome
mack wants lloyd mcclendon
Wonder why they fired him reports were that he was doing a good job
Lloyd McClendon wouldn't be too bad.
because was a prick and he was lazy
anytime an assistant coach gets fired a millisecond after the season ends you know its not good. see steve henderson.
I didn't know he was fired
The radio described it as parting ways so I figured they mutually split
lol who mutually agrees to part ways?
thats just a nice way of saying get the farg out
Maybe he decided he didn't want to work for those corksuckers Samson and Loria?
no he and donny had beef
on top of that hes made more money than he needs and is one of the greatest players ever. this is generally not the recipe needed to make a good coach.
Salisbury has an interview with Middleton on CSN tonight
Hopefully they post it online
Btw does Middleton wear a rug? Looks very Marv Albertish
