Title: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)
Post by: SunMo on March 30, 2011, 07:14:48 PM
It's about that time.

The most successful era in Philadelphia Phillies history starts another chapter on Friday, April 1st.  Expectations are extraordinarily high this season as possibly the best pitching staff in history takes the mound day after day.

Despite numerous questions about the lineup and middle relief, this Phillies team is poised to once again win the NL East and go deep into the playoffs.

Can Jimmy Rollins regain any part of his form that led to an MVP season in 2007?  Can Ben Fransico and eventually Domonic Brown produce close to the same level as Jayson Werth the past two years?  Will Chase Utley ever get back on a HGH cycle so his knee can heal?  These are all questions that will be answered throughout the season.

Key Additions:

Key Depatures:

Last year Oswalt-less for half the year, Kyle Kendrick starting games instead of Cliff Lee, and with a mediocre to below-average offense, they won 97 games.  This year, I think they at least match that, if not exceed it.

My prediction:  101-61, 1st NL East, back to the World Series

Stutes sent down.  Herndon and Baez are middle relief...blech


Delwyn Young sent down, Martinez and Orr take the last two bench sports.  Orr, Martinez, Gload, Mayberry, Schnieder

that is one awful bench

Didn't read the rest of the post, huh?

I predict that Rollins will be a .275 hitter with a .325 on base % but everyone will worship his dong none the less.
I predict that Cole Hamels will find ways to lose games while looking like the best pitcher on the rotation.
I predict that Joe Blanton will sweat. A lot.
I predict that Chooch will be a fan favorite despite hitting .250.
I predict that they will easily win the division and everyone will spend stupid amounts of time and energy trying to make fun of Havas for his predictions.
I predict that Havas will point to various ambiguous statements that he made to indicate that he was in fact right all along no matter what the actual outcome.

I predict that I will occasionally stop by to irritate the haters and true believers alike.

Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: SD on March 30, 2011, 08:00:34 PM
I would have been fine with Castillo and thought he played himself onto the roster with his patience at the plate and the few hits he got. Stark was on with Missannelli earlier saying Castillo not making the roster is good news on the Utley front in that Castillo would be worthless once Utley comes back since he can only play 2nd base. He also made some comments about Castillo lackluster play in the field and the fact that he showed up late.

there are going to have to win 2-1 and 3-2 games for the foreseeable future and in that case you want valdez at 2b. his defensive advantage over slick lou >>> lou's offensive advantage of wilson! wilson!

ESPN/SI etc are all massively backpedaling from the Phillies now.  I think on cbs sports there's only one out of eight 'experts' that has the Phillies coming out of the NL, and at least 3 that have the Braves. 

Overreaction to the Spring much?

not an overreaction its just that they didnt know the phillies in depth until the last week or so when they had to put together their real predictions....before that their entire outlook was that of most phillie fans...which was assign a 100+ win season to the team based entirely on the cliff lee signing foregtting that there are other parts of a ballclub....even if according to homers like the lil guy (see 2008 apologists in the link above) none of the other parts matter

also and not that i personally believe in this stuff but there is a karma factor involved...which is when you have everyone in the world calling this the best pitching staff of all time before they throw a pitch it usually means that they will massively underperform...so there is some backlash because of that
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Eagles_Legendz on March 31, 2011, 09:05:58 AM
That's fine, and Cliff Lee and a full season of Roy Oswalt do not guarantee 100 wins, but I find it amusing that a Chase Utley injury moves the Phillies in so many eyes from being CLEAR NL favorites, to now having barely any more people picking them than the Braves.

Can the Braves win the division?  Obviously.  Should they?  No.  The Phillies SHOULD still win the NL East.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: ice grillin you on March 31, 2011, 09:39:37 AM
phillies should and deserve to be the favorites but it wouldnt surprise in the least if the braves won and i see no problem in picking them

its not just utley...its the fact that people started evaluating their whole team....the cliff lee thing completely overshadowed werth leaving...they have no closer...a potentially awful bullpen in general...hideous bench and a suspect offense

also dont forget that they are really really OLD...the braves you know what you are gonna get and while they dont have 100 win potential they have a chance to improve...they dont have any major question marks...certainly less than the phillies

whereas the phils have a chance to blow up...imo the phillies have a better chance to finish first than the braves but they also have a better chance to finish 3rd or 4th

phils have a higher ceiling braves have the more solid floor

actually despite your psychosis regarding rube (who i hate as well but good god) you are actually correct when it comes to lee....gm's in general are overrated when it comes to acquiring free agents

theres two major problems with rube....one is his fault and one is the fanbases

the guy being a smug pretentious im the greatest baseball executive thats ever lived dick is on him

the fans are at fault in annointing the guy before hes ever won a single thing simply because he signed a guy for 120 million dollars....halladay and oswalt deals were good cliff lee deal was horrible....hes not the worst gm ever but hes yet to prove anything either....certainly not near worthy of all the praise he gets...i guarantee you a significant segment of the fanbase thinks he was the gm for the 08 title

this year will go a long way towards his legacy...he decided to try and win with a dominant staff and questions basically everywhere else...if that strategy wins a world series then he gets all the credit in the world....if they dont then its on him

he absolutely does some horrible shtein.  the lee trade to seattle was horrible.  raul's contract was horrible.  giving moyer 2 years after 2008 was bad.  giving Kendrick 2.8M this year to be a long man was terrible.

but he also made the halladay and oswalt deals which were good and he got cliff lee back.

it's a mixed bag and until he wins a title he probably shouldn't be as smug as he is.

Gillick did some horrible shtein as well. Signing Barajas, Eaton, trading for Freddie Myers. I think Amaro and Gillick are about even in the good move bad move category.

please dont ever mention pat gillick and ruben amaro together again

also lets judge rubes moves in the next five years...specifically the moves he makes over the next three years when the team is falling apart because of age...lee move looks great now....but if they dont win a world series with him in the next two years then contracts like his and chokes in four years may make those moves not look quite as nice...also be interesting to see in five years when the team is in the gutter and rebuilding how he does

pat gillick was maybe the best gm ever at putting teams together...rube has done nothing of the sort...hes made some good power moves but hasnt assembled anything...the greats can tweak teams and put them together in a way that brings titles...not taking anything away from rube but if you have the payroll and the prospects most any gm can trade for a good player on a team that is dumping guys

The one thing I'll give Amaro credit for is he has balls.  He makes big moves on a repeated basis.  I'd rather have someone who erred on that side than the other.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Rome on April 01, 2011, 08:59:20 AM
Gillick made some awful moves too but everything came together with that group and they just roared through the playoffs as a result.

I think their getting back to the Series in '09 in this era is just as impressive an accomplishment as actually winning it the year before.  They got Lee & let's not forget they also got Pedro Martinez too, which was a very impressive pickup for basically nothing.

And LOL at him [...not assembling anything].  He got the best pitcher in baseball for minor leaguers before last year.  I don't care what else he did... that makes Amaro an absolute legitimate GM in my eyes.  Yeah, he was boneheaded for letting Lee walk but if you had to choose between Lee & Halladay, I don't think there's anyone other than maybe Lee himself who wouldn't make that choice.  Not only that, I still have a suspicion that trading Lee was a directive from above because of payroll, not because of the nonsense they said about restocking the farm system. 
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: ice grillin you on April 01, 2011, 09:10:14 AM
he inherited a world series winner...he didnt exactly assemble that team...but yes getting lee was a GREAT move

hes a legitimate gm...who said he wasnt...hes just incredibly overrated

so ownership gets the blame for trading lee but rube gets the credit for bringing him back...that exactly the kind of madness that this fanbase throws out there regarding rube and is exactly why hes so overrated...its like people lose thir kionds going out of their way to defend him

the lee or halladay thing is also a terrible excuse....he could have easily kept both

Just out of curiosity, who thinks Rube is the greatest ever? Most people I come across think he's smug and a good GM but don't put him up on a pedestal.

In all fairness neither Rube or Gillick should be given as much credit as Wade for forming the Phillies.

Wade built the core through drafting, but he made terrible free agent signings and mid-season trades. 

Too early to tell with any of Gillick's draft picks, but he made his money in free agency and trades. 

The one thing I have wondered though is if Wade was blocked from the owners when trying to sign guys in free agency or when trying to make big trades before the deadline.  When the Phils won the series, Gillick hadn't brought in any real big names/big money guys, just some quality vets who fit in nicely.  Phils didn't really start becoming big $$ players until after they won it all.  That's when we got Raul's contract, trading for Lee, signing Polanco, trading for Doc, then Oswalt and then bringing back Lee.

Can't help but wonder if Wade was handcuffed a little by cheap owners.

Having such a high powered and explosive offense the last 5 years has spoiled us.  People are saying that because the Phils don't have a top 2 or 3 offense that it means they must be bottom 3.  They look at the loss of Werth and Grit's injury and see doom and gloom.  I don't see it that way.  I see this offense still being top 10 worthy, which is all they need to be with this rotation. 

Most people look at the potential drop off in offense and think they're going to be terrible.  I think they'll still be above average.

PS...Luis Castillo would have dropped that pop up.

I don't think he's blaming Roy at all.  Doc pitched very well.  Difference is that the Astros were patient and made him throw pitches which is why Doc was over 100 pitches in the 6th freaking inning.  Meanwhile, the Phils have basically given Myers a free pass so far.  He's still below 70 pitches heading into the 7th I believe.

Edit:  58 pitches through 6 innings of work.  FIFTY EIGHT FARGING PITCHES!

He walked Polanco on 5 pitches and it was his 2nd consecutive walk (walked Victorino in the 6th with 2 out, but got thrown out stealing 2nd). 

So after opening up the inning with the walk to Polanco, Mills should have at least had someone warming up in the pen.

you have to be ready to get him out of that inning if he gets in trouble knowing that the two lefties are coming up...either he farged up or he thinks very little of the phillies offense...plus it makes no sense to leave him at 74 pitches with two men on and a lefty middle of the order coming up and then take him out with 85 pitches no one on and the bottom of the order up

The thing I hate most about Victorino is the fact that I don't actually hate him.  He really is a good ball player and has made some big plays and had huge hits for the Phils over the years.  And he does it all while easily being the dumbest person in the park....including the fans.

cliff lee's 0.76 bb/p last year was the lowest total for a pitcher with 200+ innings since 1923

and the phillies bullpen 421 IP last year was the lowest by any phils pen since 1984

Good read.

QuoteI left Halladay and went to watch Joe Blanton pitch batting practice. Blanton is the Phillies' fifth starter. He's being paid a lot of money to be the forgotten man: $8.5 million a year compared with Halladay's $20 million, Oswalt's $16 million, Lee's $11 million ($21.5 million starting next year) and Hamels's $9.5 million. Blanton throws with an extreme, short-arm motion, a short stride, a stand-up follow through, like a Little League pitcher who has never been coached. Still, he has a darting fastball and a sharp slider.

Then I saw Lee throwing off a bullpen mound with Dubee and abandoned Blanton. Dubee glanced at me as if annoyed.

Maybe they'll hit Adam Eaton's house next.

And Beltran probably would have caught it anyway, but nice job by the jitbag in the stands for interfering with that foul ball and giving the Mets an easy 3rd out.

Exactly. Also, Myers threw exactly two balls by guys. That's right. TWO swinging strikes the whole game.

I'm not saying he didn't pitch well. I'm just saying he got a little lucky. And Doc pitched quite well too.

i mean if you expected them to pitch great every time out then you have to expect the four of them to outpitch the astros and the bottom of the mets rotation more than 50% of the time...thats simply not going to get it done

Good point Ed:
QuoteMaybe the Mets in April are a bad combination for Hamels.

He entered the season with a 4.11 ERA in April, which is his highest ERA in any month. He has a 3.38 ERA in July, a 3.12 ERA in August and a 2.80 ERA in September/October, which are his best three months as a pitcher. Hamels also is 2-9 with a 4.36 ERA in 14 career starts against the Mets.

Last season, Hamels went 0-4 with a 3.20 ERA in four starts against the Mets, although the Phillies were shut out in three of those losses. Elias Sports Bureau found Hamels as just one of four Phillies pitchers to lose four games against the Mets in one season. Grant Jackson (0-4 in 1970), Steve Carlton (2-4 in 1972) and Kevin Gross (1-4 in 1987) were the others.

"It's probably coincidence," Hamels said of his struggles against the Mets.

I've probably seen more Francisco ab's this year than I have since he got to Philly and damn, he's got a really nice looking swing.  He got a hold of 2 last night that would have gone had it not been for the wind. 

If he keeps this going, then they need to put Raul out to pasture whenever Brown is ready to come back.

Judging from the suburban trash I saw in Clearwater I'm not the least bit surprised by who is showing up for games in Philly.   Success breeds this sort of thing and although it's annoying, it's worth it to have the sort of team they run out there every night.

1210 is likely only authorized to broadcast the game over the traditional airwaves.

The $15 MLB app gives you audio for every game, all season and postseason. PLUS occasional live video look-ins PLUS video highlights within about 10 minutes of them occurring. It's one of the highest quality apps I've ever seen and blows away anything by any other sports league, especially for $15. I pirate shtein left and right but as an out-of-towner I can't justify not buying that app. I even had my phone broadcasting to my car stereo over Bluetooth during road trips last season. Love that app.

really ? i have never been able to get the games on the app.

1210 is likely only authorized to broadcast the game over the traditional airwaves.

The $15 MLB app gives you audio for every game, all season and postseason. PLUS occasional live video look-ins PLUS video highlights within about 10 minutes of them occurring. It's one of the highest quality apps I've ever seen and blows away anything by any other sports league, especially for $15. I pirate shtein left and right but as an out-of-towner I can't justify not buying that app. I even had my phone broadcasting to my car stereo over Bluetooth during road trips last season. Love that app.

I just bought it for ipad, but unfortunately I don't have wifi at work so it's pretty useless for me on days like today.

Even if I did, I get shoddy reception at work so I still wouldn't get a clean broadcast. I will eventually upgrade to 3G though so you can sleep easy now.

Lee will be fine.  The difference between he and Halladay though is that when he isn't hitting his spots (which he is 90% of the time), he will get hit because his stuff isn't overpowering.  Halladay can get people out just on the movement of his pitches even if the accuracy isn't there.

How productive has the bench been so far?  Mayberry, Schneider and Martinez have already made some nice contributions.  And then Chooch comes in to PH on an off day and hits a grand slam. 

Has Francisco gotten a lot of play in RF before this year?  He's basically been a defensive sub for Ibanez in left the last 2 years.  Maybe he just needs a little time to adjust.  Or maybe he just sucks in the field.

That bad?  He seemed fairly solid in left when Cholly would put him in late in games for Ibanez.  Maybe he's a lot more comfortable over there.  When Brown comes up (or if Mayberry keeps impressing at the plate), I think you have to put one of them in right and move Ben back over to left.  A Francisco, Vic, Brown/Mayberry outfield doesn't seem too bad.

this isnt football. 95% of the games you cant really take anything tangible from. its 1 pitch among 1000 or 1 at bat among 700. it really means dick in the grand scheme of things. im trying to get you all to stop over reacting to every loss or proclaiming some random ben francisco home run off of someone no ones every heard of to be a sign that hes going to be an all star.

just calm down. enjoy the game, make snide remarks, then move on. its not the eagles, it doesnt need any further dissecting other than "they won. good" or "they lost. damn."

just calm down. enjoy the game, make snide remarks, then move on. its not the eagles, it doesnt need any further dissecting other than "they won. good" or "they lost. damn."


this is exactly what people like phreak do, yet those remarks seem to make you come here to say the same tired things over and over again for the last 3 years.

Why hasn't a tsunami taken you out yet...

I have 0 concern about Cole right now.  The main reason he sucked in 09 was his fastball MPH was dipping too close to his changeup (and he also threw too many curves).  It was sitting at 89-90 most games.  Last game he was averaging 93, and got to 95 on a few pitches.  So long as the velocity is there, the rest will come in a few weeks.

A lot of the newer tv's and blu ray players come with the MLB app.....so if you are a subscriber online, you can stream the game to your tv.

I wouldn't recommend buying a new tv just to get the app, but dropping $80 on a blu ray is nice because you can watch it on your tv at home or on your computer if you're at work or on the road.

Exactly.

The splitter he throws is a very heavy pitch. When it's on guys beat it off the dirt in front of the plate.

I bet if you surveyed hitters he'd lead the league in stinging the shtein out of guys hands when they make contact.

Phreak likes Cole Hamels. He's also seen what everybody else here has seen....when he lets up a couple hits, or a run, or a home run, he has more often than not crumbled and fallen apart. That's where "soft" comes from.

Yes, a little bitch who in one year as increased his average mph over a point and half which is almost unheard in the middle of a career as a starting pitcher.

A little bitch who dominated like no one in the history of the franchise in the 2008 playoff and probably since Curt Schilling before him in the entire MLB.

Anyone have a way to pull up splits on opponents batting average with runners on base against Cole?  It did seem like last year he got into significant trouble once he let people on base.

That being said, I dunno that I'd call him soft.  He comes across that way because of his personality, but I think if you put Cliff Lee's personality into Cole Hamels' performance, it wouldn't be described as soft.

Because as we all know Hamels was not fantastic last year and it was totally his fault that in 11 of the games he pitched in, the Phillies scored no runs while he was still in the game.  Oh and he also won two games 1-0.

I can't even begin to fathom high school sports in Texas.  I'd love to hear some of your stories.  I can't think of another state where it's as intense.  I have a freind in Dallas who has a son playing youth football and he's already dreading the years to come.

Who said anything about him staying in Philly?  He could have gone to a contender and made a few million less.  He went for the money and got exactly that and nothing else.

Good for him.  Here's hoping he enjoys that extra two mill per year on a ghastly ballclub.

And I'm seeing Jarred Cosart pitch tonight.  He looked and sounded ridiculous warming up.

it wasnt a few million less....no team in the majors was anywhere near the nationals offer...i guess you missed the offseason where his deal basically turned heads around the entire league

anyone hear of this new movie coming? it's called "ugly funhole: the sarah madson story"

Quote"I hate the fans. It is bad enough that they bother us during the season, but they will not leave us alone in December when we go out to eat. We stayed here during the off season last year, but we will be going to California this year. There must be something particularly bad about Phillies fans because all the players leave in the off season."

I don't know who the Nats color announcer is but he is literally the worst I've ever heard. 

I like how in the bottom of the 9th he comments about how great the attendance was for the game and at the same time he's saying that, a loud ass Phils chant starts up in the background.

Their color commentator is ex big leaguer FP Santangelo. He's banging some playboy playmate too.

I'd rather listen to Orodenker try to speak spanish while calling an illegals field hockey game than the Nats broadcasters.

I don't have a problem with him taking the money.  I don't have a problem with him leaving the Phillies.    He did what he had to do and good for him in that regard.

The not so subtle point I was attempting to make previously is he could have taken less, still got a king's ransom, and gone with a top flight contender.  There were other suitors for him, and he could have found himself in a place that wasn't a total clusterfarging nightmare like Washington.

Do you understand the difference now?

and can people stop bitching about fans booing werth...he talked all week about how he was gonna make sure in the next few years there would be no phillie fans in dc anymore and how the met fans used to take over philly the same way...how hes there to win and they are done backing down from philly...blah blah blah....i think it also goes back to the text he sent amaro after they signed lee...keep in mind too he wasnt the most likeable player ever...he was a fleshpop to the press wasnt outgoing towards the fans and screamed at the dood after the foul ball

does all this mean you should you boo werth
im not saying that

but if you complain or dont understand or are flabbergasted as to why he would get booed then you dont know philadelphia fans and in general are a clueless twat

also you people do know that you can boo someone and not hate them...if i was there id boo him too but i dont care either way about the guy

these arent jd drew or scott rolen boos...in fact tuesday nite there was barely any booing there then it kind of caught a life of its own and people just started doing it to do it...its not a hate thing its a lets boo werth thing...he actually was laughing about during the series

in fact i would be surprised if there werent way more cheers than boos the first week of may (provided werth doesnt egg people on leading up to the games)...if mcnabb got an ovation when he came back werth certainly will

moral of this story is stop becoming the burlington county bitch phillie fans we all have come to hate...the boo is as philly as the cheesteak and to question it or not understand it from philadelphia fans is an embarrassment to YOU

Yeah, pretty much.  I'm sure when the Nats come to Philly, Werth will probably get a decent ovation during line up the lineup intro, but will then be booed for every ab and after every play he makes in the field.  Anyone who is legitimately bitter over Werth leaving is a farging idiot.  I hate seeing him gone, but whatever.  He helped the Phils win the division a few times, get to a couple WS and win a WFC.  Boo him at the stadium if you'd like but dude should never pay for a meal in Philly for the rest of his life.

-Since the year 2000, there have been only seven outings of complete-game shutout ball in which the pitcher threw less than 100 pitches and notched at least 10 strikeouts. Cliff's start last night was the only one of the bunch to notch more than 10 Ks

-Of those seven complete games, two belong to Chris Carpenter, two belong to retired guys, and the other three belong to current members of the Phillies' rotation.

QuoteFormer Phillie Lenny Dykstra is in hot water again. Apparently, "Dude" stole items from a house that previously belonged to him, but was up for Sheriff's sale, and has been arrested on federal charges in Los Angeles.

He is so broke that he's stealing stuff from himself that's supposed to be sold to pay off his debt.

Young adults who get stumbling drunk, don't know half the roster, wear those goddamn stupid flat billed caps with stickers on them - not fine

I know plenty of young adults that wear flat billed hats and get fall down drunk at the games....but the only ones I know who go without actually liking the Phillies/knowing the roster are women. And they're just there to be looked at anyway.

But college aged people going to their favorite teams sporting events and getting shteinfaced...is that really unexpected? What did you guys do when you were in college? Go to games and act perfectly behaved? Seriously, not asking to be a fleshpop, but genuinely curious. Are today's college students just more alcoholic or something? I was obviously too young in the mid 90's to notice what young adults were doing at the few Phillies games I went to.

Double edit-I also hate the flat billed caps/stickers thing. Just another fashion statement white people stole and made totally lame.

Of course I acted stupid when I was in school and that age. Plenty of times.

But I never bought tickets to a game with the sole intention of getting wasted with the game being second nature. You're lying to yourself, or blind, if you don't see that the level of douchbaggery has increased tenfold at the games over the years.

Well I can only go off of the people I know that have partial season ticket plans, and most of them go, pregame hard in the parking lot, and still enjoy the game.


It's not a shocking thing that college kids go to a game with the intention of getting plastered. It's just more fun now because the Phils are good, so more college age kids are going. No one wants to go get drunk only to get pissed off at a team that's playing piss poor. It's really not worth getting upset over or letting it bother you when you're at the game. 10 year ago that was you, and the kids doing it now will be whining 10 years from now about the next batch of college kids getting drunk at the games.

I think you're lying to yourself if you don't admit that as you get older, you behave differently and look with disdain upon the people who act exactly the same way you did when you were that age.

altho many of them are douches it has little to do with how they act and everything to do with not knowing or caring about the phillies....they go to tailgate and walk around ashburn alley the whole game...not to see the team

im an elder and i still get drunk...but i also pay attention to the game when im there...and i care about the result...the phillies could blow a 5 run 9th inning lead lose the game and these people could care less

i understand its a product of being good and having a bandwagon but it doesnt make it any less annoying

When I was Munson's age I went to Phils games to watch the game.

When I was RJS's age I did the same thing.

Ten years later I still go to games and watch what's going on.

Call me old or MA or whatever else floats your boat but people not watching or getting obliterated at a game (so much so that the game is irrelevant)  is about the most idiotic waste of time and money I can think of.

going to phillies game is now the cool thing to do. its a hangout. its in lieu of going to the bar or pre-gaming at someones house. people go and they drink and eat crab fries and try to get on tv.

its just waste of time for them to do be doing this but their money directly opened up the cheap pockets of the silent partners who then spent it on cliff lee and other sorts of fun stuff. so by proxy its a good thing theyre here.

but of course as an in game experience, it makes it worse, since these people are terrible human beings and wastes of spaces.

also might i add since games are still relatively affordable for everyone, the poor white trash at these games has boomed up. white trash people love junk food, big scenes and are always intoxicated before entering them. and since they can get in the door and have a good time for...like $30, you get irritating 20 year old funholes who have now idea who bobby abreu is.

I think the real point is that even when you were young there were still plenty of people going to games and not paying attention to what was going on.  They were just going for the sake of going and getting drunk off of $7 beer.  Doesn't matter how good or bad the Phils are, there will always be a group of people who show up at ballgames and are idiots and clueless as to what's actually happening on the field.  They just happen to show up in larger numbers when the Phils are good.

pretty sure this is what everyone has said over the last two pages

and what is worse....getting drunk and not paying attention to a 65 win team or getting drunk not paying attention and not knowing much about a 100 win world series contender

these people arent phillie fans...they just go to the games because its the thing to do...back then it was phillie fans getting sauced because they product on the field drove them to drink

I can only judge by my experiences in Clearwater this year but the douchebag quotient was insufferable.  I can see going there to hang out but why bother if you have less than no interest in the game?

Whatever though.  It's like the dicks from Jersey Shore have multiplied and now spend their time at games rather than at the gym or overpriced fag-filled lounges.

In my game experiences, the drunk people still seemed to "care about what's going on"...and I know the kids I know that go a lot care and know what's going on/who is who. It's the womens I hear talking or see on facebook talking about going to the Phillies game and more often than not they're only going to get drunk and talk about who the hottest player is.

I don't doubt that there are "fans" that go just to get drunk and don't care about the game, but I would never let them ruin or even alter how much fun I have at the game. When i went to the eagles/cowboys game a couple years ago all i saw was disgustingly chubby middle aged men drinking and partying like they were in college again, but who gives a farg? Let them have fun, I'll have fun, and hopefully the team wins.

When their fun spills into my seats, both figuratively or literally... or I feel like they are crossing a line when i bring my kids... it's pretty easy to get them kicked out. So it's really not anything I get worked up over.

Exactly...if their fun suddenly actually interrupts you enjoying the game, all you gotta do is find the guy in the yellow coat and say "that dude is shteinfaced and just spilled beer on my kid"

I just don't think it's worth it to let some drunk 21 year old actually effect your experience just be being there. As was said on the last page...that was most of you guys 10 years ago, and 10 years from now the drunk 21 year old will be 31, there with his wife and 4 year old daughter, saying the same things you are about all the drunk college kids there. Enjoy the game, ignore the people around you, and boo the shtein out of Hamels if he has a bad game.

I just got off the phone with my nephew who is a senior at Boulder.  He is on his way the Rockies/Giants game at Coors Field to celebrate a friends 21st birthday.  I gave him the old Uncle Charlie lecture to not drink and drive and don't get so shtein faced you become a belligerent drunk.  Sad thing is other than the mullet headed Tulo he probably can't even name another Rockie.

We have the same problem here.  Aloha Stadium serves alcohol at every UH football game up until the end of the third quarter.  People just get so farged up. Half don't even know who Hawaii is playing.  Always love the walk up the turnstile at halftime where the scent of Hawaiian Ganja is quite prevalent.

Madson made a good pitch to Fielder.  Not really his fault that it went through.  Yes he gave up a hit but the context is important--a chopped double the opposite way on a pitch he was fighting off is different than ripping a ball into the gap.

Yeah, I know there was nothing wrong with the pitch itself.  Just the fact that he can't get Fielder out.  Not to mention that he let the lead off guy get on too.  It sucks, but whatever.  Madson will be fine.

Yeah, he sucked. And if you left after six, that means you missed a total of two hits (both singles) by the starting lineup. Hell, that would have been true if you left after four.

a no more roided out 40 year old ibanez

it was really the first two series...of course that was also against the mets and astros...since then i think they have scored more than four runs once

the good news is that they arent yet having multiple shutouts and one run games every week like they did last year

short of GRIT coming back at close to 100% there is nothing on the horizon that says they are going to be watchable on offense this year

more good news?....its that we knew this coming in

exactly

they are going to lose a lot of games like this and win a lot like this. last night it happened to go against them because the back end of the bullpen happened to blink before the brewers' did. kind of random in a way.

the offense isnt very good, but we already knew that. getting hof brown back or even utley im not sure will make much of a difference. they went into the season with a replacement-level player in wilson valdez, a disgustingly washed up ibanez, a crappy bench player in francisco, and 2 guys on their last legs in jimmy and polanco.

what did you expect to happen? 8 runs a game?

i told you all before the season expect a lot of 3-2, 2-1 games. theyll win enough of these to make the playoffs, then well really see what theyre made of when they get there.

Releivers should get booed all the time.  Even when they pitch well.  Hell, boo them while they come in from the bullpen and keep punishing them during their warm up pitches and don't stop until they leave the field. 

Lidge would have been fine if the fans booed back in 08.  All that positive reinforcement during the year made him soft in the offseason and he hasn't been the same since.

Even with Doc on the bump, I still had this one chalked up as a loss.  The Phils struggle against lhp and if memory serves me correctly, they've really struggled against Wolf.  I didn't think Doc would give up 3 runs but I figured the pen would be worn out and that's what would burn them.

Wolf is being pulled so maybe they can take advantage of an equally worn out Mil pen.

Not the least bit worried about the starters.  The bullpen has been spotty but not awful.

The offense is a huge concern, though.  No one is hitting and they all look like they're pressing.  Time for a shakeup, especially Ibanez.

Heading into the top of the 9th, it's 9-0 so Cholly pulled Howard and put Mayberry on 1st and then threw Francisco out in RF.  In addition to the game being over, it's rainy and chilly and all that so I'm sure Ben was a little annoyed at having to loosen up and go stand in the outfield for a few.  So he comes up to bat in the bottom of the inning and took a hack at the first pitch he saw and hit a lazy fly ball.  Definitely didn't seem like he wanted to be out there and I can't say I really blame him.  If it's a tight game, that's one thing but there really wasn't any reason to make the switch.

victorino - over
jimmy - cooked
GRIT - broken down
choke - good
francisco - garbage
polanco - good slap hitter
mayberry - garbage
chooch - ok but incredibly overrated
valdez - throw up
ibanez - worse than burrell
HOF brown - not ready

thats not a reason to keep a guy in an rbi producing spot for the whole year who cant drive in runs.....maybe lack of options is why you put him there in the first place but it doesnt fly as a reason anymore...shtein ibanez excelled there last year for a stint...hes a way better choice than jimmy

jimmy bats lead off or 7-8....he cant be in the three hole....why cant ibanez or victorino be tried at 3...if jimmy can go there then pretty much anyone can be given a shot...again ONE RBI ON THE SEASON....not in the last five games or this week or this series....one for the YEAR

That forces an almost automatic PH in the late innings when the Javier Lopez's of the world come in and eat him and Choke for lunch.

for years GRIT and choke hit back to back...plus ibanez hits fine against lefties...its not like he has monsterous splits

in general thats not even close to a reason to leave jimmy in the three hole...and in fact last year when utley was out ibanez hit it .350 in the three hole

jimmy is valuable still because hes a leader very good in the field and when he gets on he can use his speed....ibanez is as bad a hitter as jimmy but he has no business being in the field ever again....so while jimmy isnt producing many runs hes also not giving up any...if there was a plus/minus stat in baseball rauol would be at the bottom of the league

Yeah, I know.  Havas was either feeling salty, was salting up a margarita glass or got his hand stuck on a glue trap and couldn't type.  But still, the best reading on this board is reading any in-game discussion on the Eagles or Phils (Flyers/Sixers don't generate the same amount of posts per game) from start to finish after a late game, come from behind win...especially if you weren't actuallly following the discussion as it happened.

alright i know its early but i just listened to bustler olney on simmons podcast and he said monty isnt going to stand around with this terrible offense, even if utley gets back. so it got me thinking about trade possibilities.

i came up with
-milton bradley (fa after this year, crazy, might be washed up)
-carlos quinten (mediocre average, solid obp, 20 home run power, arbitration eligible next year then a fa)
-vlad guerrero (fa after next year, 0 games in OF this year, 17 last year, legit shot he wont hold up in left field for 2 months)
-maggilo ordonez and carlos guillen (washed up and washed up)

i love milton but i realize hes batshtein crazy and will scare people away. but seattle is horrible and will definitely look to deal him. he can handle LF. switch hitter. terrific OBP and solid power. if his body holds up into july and he hasnt killed anyone by then, he might be the guy.

theres also carlos lee, who will surely be on the block. maybe either and kemp if LA implodes and selig gets the balls to absolutely gut that team.

otherwise the pickings are slim for veteran right handed power bats  with 1-2 years left on their deals who can play either corner outfield position and are on teams that might be sellers at the deadline.

The Vet was run down and I actually think the views in the Linc are better simply for the fact that you're closer.  But for football, the Vet just had this feel to it.  It was an intimidating place for visiting teams.  It was ugly and unforgiving and loud.  The Linc is too pretty for football and the crowd is 1000000x more lame.  Granted, some of that has to do with the fact that the Vet had sections of STH who had been together for a couple decades and they were all split up in the new stadium.  Maybe over time, sections will get that same type of commradarie back, but it certainly isn't what it was in the Vet.  I remember sections competing with each other doing the Eagles chant and it was like a wave making it's way around the stadium.  It was loud and rowdy.  No where near the same now.  The Linc with all of it's rules and corporate clowns sucking up seats is just not a great game experience.

I don't miss The Vet at all for baseball although the seats we sat in out in center field were awesome.  Basically five rows right off the field.   Other than that it was pretty brutal.

Like Mo said I'd go back for football in a second.  The vibe in that place was unreal and makes the Linc look like a debutante ball by comparison.

no he is not

but youd figure they will add one more reliable arm if lidge doesnt get back, so they have at least 4 pitchers out of the pen for the playoffs, which is about what every other team has

Didnt realize until I looked up Oswalts stats that he actually had the best WHIP in the NL last year.  I thought he gave up more baserunners than that but apparently not.

He has the lowest ERA of any pitcher in baseball since the trade.

But ERA is a meaningless stat according to some nerds, so...

He has a walk against him too, which is amazing when you think about it. 9 at bats against the guy and has never made contact.

Agreed, though its very accurate for starters, not as much all the time for middle relief.  I think pitching stats go era->whip>k/9 ratio. 

I know some will say babip is crucial as well but since that tends to even itself out I think the above 3 are the only critical stats and era is the most important generally.

yeah you did make yours all fancy with the quotation marks and what not.  A for effort.

ibanez is so far and away the worst when you factor in salary.  he can't hit and is somehow worse in the field.  i think only kapono is more overpaid in the city.

Post by: Rome on April 23, 2011, 01:34:50 PM
Ibanez is going to have to be replaced.  The only problem with acquiring Quinten is the relative absence of prospects in the system.  I mean, they have them but most are in the lower minors and are going to be counted on in a few years when the Rollins/Utley/Howard core starts its descent (if it hasn't already).

Bottom line is they better hit on some prospects big time because they won't be able to plug & play with the monstrous payroll outlays they're gonna have.

Post by: MDS on April 23, 2011, 01:39:55 PM
im no minor league expert but im pretty sure they have some decent guys, outside of people like hof brown and brother singleton who you wouldnt expect them to deal

and yes quentin is tearing it up right now but hes coming off years where he hit .236 and .243. so were not talking about babe ruth here. but, in those two seasons he did hit 20+ homers and had a .320+ obp. so even though he could buy a hit he still walked enough and obviously made his hits count.

chisox are 8-12 and in a crappy division where 85 wins might do it. so well see.

they could have a 10 run innning, and you'd bitch about the guy making the 3rd out.  there's 162 games, 1500+ innings, and 600+ ABs per player.  they aren't all going to be wonderful.

I don't see how calling a guy out on a bad ab or an error in the field isn't ok.  Getting all doom and gloom about 1 loss out of 162 is dumb but that doesn't mean that the team can't be criticized for poor play.

I'm pretty sure when Phreak says "what the farg are you doing Howard?" he's not thrashing in his seat at home breaking shtein. He's muttering out of the side of his mouth.


The people coming here to complain about what other people say about the game are infinitely worse because they're not even talking about the game. It's the Phillies game, people are going to talk about the Phillies, get the farg over it.

Yawn, how boring. Let's talk about how the offense stinks and will get exposed when they play "real" teams.

Kinda surprising that Madson is getting the nod, although really what other choice do they have right now?    I'd personally give basticho a shot at it but they don't have another legit southpaw and Madson does have seniority, and we all know how Cholly sticks with "his guys".

Lee is such an odd pitcher in that he dominates when he hits his spots but when he is slightly off he can get hit easily because he leaves the ball over the plate.

Phillies offense=watching paint dry.

Don't you dare complain about the offense!  Who cares if they only have 3 hits through 5 innings and haven't pushed any runs across against a team that's given up the 2nd most runs in the league?  Since it's only 1/162 you're supposed to just sit there and take it.  Because if you complain about anything, then you obviously just don't understand the game.

QuoteOn Monday, Charlie Manuel went on a long-winded rant against his critics. He did not name his boss, Amaro, specifically. Included below are the questions asked to Manuel for context.

Q: Did you feel like you had the personnel to be able to stay away from Contreras?

A: Do I feel like I had the personnel? I feel like, first of all, that there's no way in hell we overused Contreras. That's how I feel. There's no way. What did he pitch? The most games was three. Then he had a day off. He pitched five times in seven days. We weren't trying to stay away from him. He was closing games for us. That's how I look at it.

Q: Ruben has said he was used a lot.

A: I don't think he had been used a lot. Really. What's today? April 25? It's April 25 and I already hear our guys need days off. Guys need this. Guys need that. I've been listening to that for about four or five years now. The object of it is, like I tell our guys in the meetings, the brass, the object is for us to win the game. Every day we come to the ballpark, that's the object, to win the game. Now do you want to win or do you want to lose? To me, I want to win so I'll put the best team I possibly can on the field that day. I'll give you days off when I think so. That's part of my job too. If I'm going to be accountable for my job then you let me do the whole thing. You basically let me do my whole job. I don't need nobody to tell me what to do and how to do it. It's up to me to do it. That's how I look at it. If you want to talk about it and say something about it, that's fine too.

Q: Is anyone saying anything to you?

A: That's none of your business.

A few minutes later, the rant continued.

"We still have to play the game the right way," Manuel said. "Over the years I get tired of hearing people say we want him healthy in October. October is a long ways off. It's April 25. A lot of time, hell, there's a lot of people that aren't going to make October.

Q: Is that stuff coming from the inside or outside?

It's coming from me today, all right? That's where it's coming from. I hear it all the time. I hear it from [the media]. From everybody. From everybody around the ballpark."

Atta boy Chuck - give him (and all the other critics) the finger.  :yay

this is why im starting the quentin/bradley rumors...ibanez is so utterly cooked. hes not in a slump, not guessing wrong, not simply off. hes having good at bats, its just his bat speed is horrendous and when he does make contact, he rolls the ball over because hes 40 years old and not on steroids anymore.

chooch is whatever. a slump is a slump for him. and you knew you were getting nothing out of valdez/orr/martinez at 2b.

believe me they are scouting for another hitter, its just gonna take a few months for the trade market to open up.

I like the Quentin idea - except he's a health liability. I'd be a little wary of giving up too much for him based on that. But he'd be the top or at least a top three candidate to get.

without knowing anything about his situation and simply based on contracts he makes sense. thing is chicago has a veteran squad and even if they implode this year they would want major league ready pitching in return...something the phillies cant really offer. ja happ was that guy but that ship sailed last year because of oswalt, someone they probably wouldnt have needed if amaro never dealt lee.

2 guys who will be out there--carlos lee and milton bradley, arent especially attractive. i think el caballo is roughly 300 pounds right now and last time i checked he had 1 homer.

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on April 26, 2011, 11:49:57 AM
So he's right to call out his manager publicly for using his closer too much?

A closer that is only the closer by default because the original guy had his shoulder go out and the back up is too big of a vagina to handle the pressure of the 9th?

And because the only real option was to use the 39yr old Contreras because the other guys are farging awful? You want David Herndon, Mike Zagurski, Mike Stutes, Danys Baez or JC Romero closing games for you?

Ruben Amaro's fault for leaving this team with such a shoddy assed bullpen. And then the nuts on him to call out his manager for using the only real options he has?

Yeah ok.

Lidge's injury really handcuffed Cholly and unfortunately, it happened in the spring when it's too late to do anything about it.  If you want to fault Rube for going into the spring thinking Lidge was going to be fine, then I guess you could knock him for that.  The middle relief Rube gets heat for because Herndon and Baez suck and we knew this from last year.  They probably should have kept Durbin.  Kendrick is too up and down imo.  At the same time though, when you've got 4 starters who are going to give you a minimum of 7 innings almost every night, I guess middle relief isn't going to be a priority.  Hell, even Fat Joe will go 7 in close to half of his starts (he averaged about 6 2/3 last year).    So yeah, I don't think middle relief was looked at as a major issue.  Best we can hope for right now is for the Phils to weather the storm so to speak for the first half of the season and that Rube will be able to pick up a quality arm before the deadline.  Hell, even with the terrible offense and bullpen, the Phils are still tied with Colorado for best record in all of baseball, so it's really not that bad.  Yet.

no problem

were over 20 games into the season and the middle relief has two losses to their name-- a blown lead in 1-run game against florida and a kendrick implosion in an extra inning game against milwaukee. youll take that. for reference, mo rivera already has 2 blown saves. so i mean...bullpens lose games from time to time. it happens.

also they spent 300 trillion dollars on starting pitching so they dont even need much of a bullpen. and  they spent a lot of money, rightfully so at the time, on lidge who is probably damaged goods at this point. injuries suck. hes gone after this year and at that point they will have money to spend on a closer.

and your core of contreras, madson and basticho is really kind of good. thing is they cant pitch every night. manuel probably used contreras too much too soon. so hes injured. however, since hes 45 years old, this is the type of thing that was going to happen anyway. as i said he was a ticking time bomb for a dl stint. it just so happened to come in april instead of may. there might be another one in july. big deal. get him healthy for october.

im not sure what youre looking for here. are you mad that chad durbin isnt around? that kendrick is the long man instead of andrew carpenteror eude brito? maybe take a long hard angry J look at the time offense and call them out. they cant score more than 3 runs a game. maybe thats why all these games are close and maybe thats why manuel has to use madson and contreras so much.

Contreras out 3-4 weeks with a grade one strain.

I didn't like them allowing Durbin to leave. Nor did I like the fact that they kept Baez and Kendrick. I don't care if they spent three trillion bucks on starters. Middle relief is the easiest thing to acquire and Amaro failed.

Nice route on that ball Francisco.

Even better that Oswalt is allowing the Phils tradition of letting opposing pitchers to kill them continue - 2out 2 run double by Daniel farging Hudson.

Lol PG yeah I'm really whining.

Any ounce of criticism is met with bullshtein. I'm sorry I'm jot happy about the bullpen set up. And I dont like Amaro calling Charlie out for Contreras getting hurt. Like it's his farging fault that his farging GM glued a bullpen together. The possibility existed to build better depth there and Amaro chose not to do it. Despite Lidge being a health question mark plus knowing Madson isn't a closer and the fact that Contreras is a farging senior citizen.

I don't care that the BP is only responsible for two losses. The scotch tale job will break eventually because the illustrious Amaro didn't build depth there.

But yeah, I'm just being a hater and have no basis for not liking the BP depth. You like Baez and Kendrick?

In the meantime Francisco had an awful AB.

Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on April 26, 2011, 10:14:17 PMI didn't like them allowing Durbin to leave. Nor did I like the fact that they kept Baez and Kendrick. I don't care if they spent three trillion bucks on starters. Middle relief is the easiest thing to acquire and Amaro failed.

durbin left because of money. i think that had more to do with the owners not letting them spend an extra 2-3 mil than anything. they are close to the luxury tax and wanted to leave some wiggle room for midseason.

baez was on the second year of his deal. they werent eating his salary. he was bad last year, sure, but historically hes a fairly capable pitcher.
kendrick is not that bad. hes an insurance option for the rotation and a long relief guy. who is out and there and a better option? cc sabathia? the ghost of 1995 greg maddux? get a grip, buddy. kyle kendricks grow on trees. every team has them filling out their pen and their rotation.

also, middle relief is the most randomly difficult things to find. guys go from good to bad to out of the league to all star in a second. no rhyme or reason for it. there really were no moves amaro could have made. im sure you wanted them to throw money at rafael soriano and push lidge to the curb, eat salary, pay durbin what he wants, etc, bla bla bla. but those were not logical or possible moves.

the bullpen is the LEAST of the concerns and that fact that you are crying about is confusing and most certainly tied to your hatred of rube. you are a top 3 rube hater and a top 3 mcnabb homer. crazy stuff in your head my man.

first off they are in first place, well over .500 and it is still april. so lets not even push the panic button.

but this why im throwing these random names out there to play LF. i figure if they get that guy, whether be on the high end like quinten or on the low end like carlos lee, it should at least be better than what they got now.

some kind of francisco/hof brown platoon mixed in with big john in RF should yield halfway decent production. also getting a washed up utley back to sit valdez wouldnt hurt.

No, they've had decent (winning) Aprils each season since 2008.  Prior to that, they hadn't had a winning April in 5 years.  And really, given the hot start they had the first week last year, the rest of April was a letdown and they were lucky to finish above .500 to close out the month. 

2011:  15-7 (assuming they lose tonight, they still have 3 left this month and could finish with as many as 18 wins)
2010:  12-10 (won division, lost nlcs)
2009:  11-9 (won division, lost ws)
2008:  15-13 (won division/WFC)
2007:  11-14 (won division with hot finish/epic Mets choke, lost wc)
2006:  10-14 (lost division by 12 games, lost wc by 3)
2005:  10-14 (lost division by 2, lost wc by 1)

No Todd, what I wanted was better depth and some sort of contingency plan should Lidge bite the bullet as he did. Nothing what I am saying is irrational and I am not saying they should have spent dumb money but there was options out there.

Just like the corner OF positions, they hoped they could scrape by with lesser options. This BP could be a problem and the 15-7 record that is being touted could turn around quick.

I'm more annoyed about the corner OF positions than I am with the bullpen.  Everyone knew that Raul was washed up since Jul 2009 and they still haven't addressed it.  It'd be one thing if they still had Werth because then they could platoon Ibanez and Francisco, but now their hands are tied until HOF Brown is ready to give the bigs another shot.  And even then, it's still a crap shoot as to whether or not he'll produce.  The only reason I can imagine the Raul is still getting  the starts in LF is because he's the only other lefty in the lineup besides Howard.  If/when Grit makes it back, I hope to see Ibanez's playing time reduced.

better depth? who could they have gotten? give me names instead of just saying oh they could have done better. because based on the market what they have is pretty much the best they could have come up with. also, the bullpen is actually not bad. so...you are just whining about nothing.

corner OF wise the market was terrible aside from werth and crawford. logically they were stuck with what they have until the trade market opens up in july. its not about "scraping by with lesser options," its about not over-paying for third rate talent. again, tell me what amaro could have done over the winter. i submit nothing. francisco and ibanez and brown were it. see what you get out of them, then deal with it in july.

but i guess youre right, they are 15-7 but they really suck. bullpen blows, offense sucks, starters arent that good. seasons over. farg amaro. bring back mcnabb.

and
-april games dont count that much
-losing a series to the dbacks doesnt bother me. ill forget about this like every single player tomorrow. who cares. they are 4-2 on the road trip. what difference does it make where the two losses came from.
-these games are like spring training. kind of seeing what you got. im not punching walls until october because, you know, its april.

could be either....both could finish ahead of the phillies...or the phillies could finish ahead of them...bottom line is this team is not the powerhouse everything thinks it is...it has major issues that will likely prevent them from making the world series much less winning it....but if youd really like to know i suspect boston is still the best team in baseball

wow...karma is a mother farger and was one of my biggest fears entering the season...you just knew when they assembled the best staff of all time that it wouldnt go as planned and most likely would not end well

Slow your roll homie.  It's April and Oswalt's taking some personal time.  He just started yesterday, so as long as it's nothing serious, he'll hopefully be back in time to make his next start.  Either way, it's way too early in the season to say that it isn't going to end well. 

That said, the big 4 haven't gotten off to the blazing start that we had hoped for.  But they'll be fine.  Will it be enough in Oct?  No idea, but I'd still take that rotation in a 7 game series over the most high powered offense every time.  The problem is that they could all go out and pitch complete games, giving up a run or 2 and still lose.

The whole city is all crazed over this news...I'm reading posts like, "He's probably addicted to painkillers" or "He needs major surgery". When was the last time a player "left or was excused for personal reasons" and it was injury-related?

actually nobody is crazed over the news or saying anything like you are speculating

One pitcher maybe missing a start or 2 was one of my biggest fears, and could spell the end of the season.

i realize its difficult to keep track of these things but baez has actually been pretty good this year.

herndon, on the other hand, has been bad. last year he was either horrendous or good--rarely any middle ground. this year its just been bad. difficult to say yet whether hes not a major league pitcher or if its just a randomly bad year for a mediocre relief pitcher. we shall see.

ibanez hasnt had a hit since april 18. i mean...just beyond finished. and on april 18 he was hitting .233. but hof brown should be up soon, francisco can take over in LF. all good.

Yeah, Baez has been replaced on my hate-dar with Herndon. Baez has been mostly solid so far this season. not sure what he did, but it worked.

HOF Brown can't get back fast enough. Raul's done. Even if just to platoon with him.

It's amazing how quickly Ibanez has hit the basement.     Without him in 2009 they probably don't repeats as NL Champs, though, so thanks for that, Raul.

Now GTFO.

You know, the ONLY thing I'm wondering with him is...he was just about this bad to start off last season as well. We said all of the same things...then he went on to hit over .300 after the All Star Break.

Thoughts?

when youre that old thats how it happens....you dont slowly degrade from age 39 to 49...you get old and then at some point it just all goes...kind of like a dog....they are running around chasing a ball one day then three weeks later you are puttin a needle in em

Physically I think Ibanez is fine, it's not like he's laboring when he's at the plate. He's just not seeing the ball for shtein. Maybe he needs glasses, people his age tend to lose their vision.

the only glimmer of hope in him is that his second half last year was good...if he was good the first half of 2010 and terrible the second you could be like we saw this coming last year

but really more than likely its just time

Seems to me that he's lost bat speed - he just can't get around on a good fastball.  If your vision theory is correct, that could be a reason. 

If Dom comes back strong, you'll probably see some kind of platoon with Ibanez and Francisco - or a combination of all three.

In addition to the Phils setting a new club record for wins in April, Howard set the club mark for rbi in April and Polanco set an April record for hits.  Wonder if that's a record for most club records broken on the same day? 

And Ibanez has got to be working on some sort of record for futility.  0-last 30?  And it's not like he's hitting the ball and just not finding holes, he's struck out 26 times this month which is only 2 less than Howard...in 1 less game and 11 less ab's.  The guy only has 19 total bases so far.  Mayberry has 10 in roughly 1/3 ab's.  I don't care what he did in the 2nd half last year.....he's cooked.

Yeah, he really got squeezed on that last walk of the inning. Was up 0-2 and couldn't get a call on 3 borderline pitches. But had he showed more control in the inning he may have gotten them.

Yep, 6-7-8 in the lineup right now is awful. Like they could call up three Clearwater kids and plug them in there and they'd do better.

Choke leads off.

the whole lineup is bad, but fixabley bad

not sure why the would take hof brown off the dl and move him to AAA. but...eventually theyll get chase back, fix LF, vic moves down, jimmy moves up, ruiz back to 8th. itll be better.

Bob Buhl (former Phils pitcher) once went 0-87 over three seasons (1961-1963), including a zero-for-70 in 1962.  Granted, he was a pitcher.

he was good for the most part last year until he ran into even more injury problems/stopped taking his steroids

hes really washed up this year, and especially for relievers, when they lose it theres really nothing left. someone like ibanez might still be able to hit .250 with a .330 obp but romero is just done.

If I remember correctly, most projections are as a 3/4 starter - a Joe Blanton type.  Decent, not great stuff, but effective when he had command.  Fastball in low 90s, with slider, curve and changeups mixed in.

Thank's Geo. Seems solid enough. I assume Roy O won't be back after this contract is over, and Fat Joe def won't be back, so he could be a full time guy as soon as next year, no? Or does Fatty have two years left?

Honestly, I had thought / hoped that they would trade Blanton over the offseason (for whatever lineup help they could find) and slide Worley in this year.  Blanton's injury could be a blessing in disguise.

Post by: Sgt PSN on May 04, 2011, 08:31:22 PM
Now that Worley is getting a chance to throw in the bigs, if he does well in a couple of spot starts, the Phils could have incentive to trade Blanton this year for some lineup depth.  Of course, if when Grit and Brown come back, the offense very well could turn it back on, in which case you could move Worley to the pen for long relief.  Then all of a sudden, the pen doesn't look so bad either. 

And I think it's pretty much a given that Oswalt won't be back next year unless he's willing to sign for less to stay.

Post by: Geowhizzer on May 04, 2011, 08:35:24 PM
I think that if Blanton returns, Worley goes back to Allentown.  They'll keep him in the rotation in the minor leagues, basically as starter #6.

That's why they kept Kendrick and sent Worley down in the first place - they want Worley stretched out to take a slot in the rotation in case of a long-term injury.

Worley to the pen was really more of a postseason thought.  With this starting rotation, he wouldn't get much action at all as a long reliever and it'd be stupid to put him in any other role.

has nothing to do with being cheap...they just arent going to pay a #4 pitcher 16 million when they can buy him out for one and use that money elsewhere...need to extend cole...get a SS at least one corner outfielder (two if HOF brown doesnt pan out)...resign/replace madson...get a closer...plus that 15 million can also create room to take salary on in a trade

Nitpicky, but Lee goes up $10.5M next year (11M to 21.5M).

Rollins is going to have to earn a new contract.  I'd say the chances of a re-sign are at best 50/50.  The Phils have to start getting younger.

Blanton needs to be sent outta town to open up a spot for Worley.

Herndon needs to stay in Lehigh. Stutes' stuff is filthy.

I think they give Rollins a legacy contract.  Say two years & twenty million.  Freddy Galvis is almost ready, though.  If he continues to hit in the minors Rollins might be gone.  Galvis is definitely ready with the leather.

not only is freddy galvis not close to ready but he also will never be anything more than a defensive replacement infielder...he is NOT jimmys replacement

Rollins does need to be re-signed but you're not going to break the bank on him, are you?  Like I said, two years, twenty million with a mutual option for a third.  That's as far as I'd go with him.

I wouldn't even give Rollins that money.  Time to sign Cole and get younger.

Aumont was supposed to be the "prize" prospect out of that trade if I remember correctly.  So if the Phils end up getting 2 quality pitchers out of that along with the fact that they ended up getting Lee back, it really makes Amaro look kind of pimp and Phreak will be on suicide watch.

Lee's statlines are bizarre.  Again tonight he has 10Ks through 5 innings but has given up 3 runs, and this is someone who is supposedly not a strikeout pitcher.

Regardless, wins mean jackshtein in baseball.  If he keeps up his K/BB rate I imagine his ERA will settle in around 3.25 or so for the season.

if a starter wins a game its 100% a win

if he doesnt win its what 50/50 at best whether the teams wins or not

ill take the first option
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: MDS on May 06, 2011, 08:41:43 PM
but a starter winning a game is entirely predicated on things out of his control

it made sense back in the day when pitchers didnt come out of games until they were over, something im sure rome and his fellow elders fondly remember as The Good Old Days.

but today when pitchers routinely max out at 100 pitches and are pulled for pinch hitters and rely on bullpens its a really pointless and arbitrary stat.

look at halladay in the opener...he was out dueled by myers but got a ND because the astros bullpen blew it. then look at lee on sunday. he pitched well enough to win but got no run support.

point. less.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Eagles_Legendz on May 06, 2011, 08:42:04 PM
that's a horrible argument.

you can't argue against a straw man that a win is better than a loss.

the point is, a lot of the time whether or not a pitcher wins a game is wholly dependent on things outside of how someone pitched.  A pitcher cannot control what his offense provides so basing a statistic on things where half the game is outside of his control is incredibly dumb.

Give me someone with a 13-12 record with a 2.27 ERA over someone who went 15-9 with a 4 era any day of the week.

Post by: Munson on May 06, 2011, 08:48:16 PM
And if the team would have gotten a few more runs in a couple of the games, they'd probably be 4-1, or 3-2.


So saying they can't lose when Lee is on the mound is correct....but Lee seems to be holding up his end of the bargain more often than not.


Which is why you're an idiot and need to let go of how many wins Lee has.



The team is 2-0 with Vance on the mound....Vance >>>> Lee!

No it's not.  I'm not using any crazy sabermetric statistics here.   Team wins are important.  Obviously.  If Lee doesn't win games, it hurts the Phillies, that's true.  The problem though is that wins and losses often go far beyond the pitcher.

The point is: ERA/WHIP/K per 9 and K:BB rates are the key stats in determining how a pitcher has pitched.  Normally those lead to wins.  There are cases (and years) where that's not the case.  See Felix Rodriguez last year who was basically .500 despite having his 2.27 ERA.

twist it anyway you want cliff lee is getting a loss and derek lowe is getting a win...because cliff lee fell apart for a half an inning...is it cliff lees "fault"... thats an argument but probably not...but again when cliff lee starts the phillies are an under .500 team...thats unacceptable for a one billion dollar pitcher...and yes a starting pitchers wins and losses does matter.....i dont even get how this is debatable

you are arguing that a pitcher can pitch well and not get the win...while that may be true its an assinine billy beane type statement to say that wins for a starter dont matter


cliff lee cannot go a month without winning...if he does the team loses...thats a fact

phillies are 2-3 this year when he starts....that aint gettin you into the playoffs

lol they could make the playoffs with me as an everyday player

because right now lee could get the win and it would have nothing to do with him

if the phillies somehow get 4 runs here he gets the win, which would then mean him "falling apart" didnt matter. but if they dont score, he gets the loss.

but yet i guess it still means something about cliff lee's ability

fine.

pitcher 1 gives up 5 runs in the first inning and is pulled. in the 4th inning his team scores 7 runs. no decision. much deserved.

pitcher 2 gives up 0 runs in 9 innings. his team also scores 0 runs. game goes to extras and hes well out of it. no decision. much deserved.

pitcher 3 gives up 6 runs in 5 innings. his team down 6-0 but scores 10 runs in btm of the 5th, pinch hitting for him in the process. they hold on. he gets the win. much deserved.

pitcher 4 gives up 1 run in 8 innings but his team loses 1-0. he gets the loss. he sucks.

in any of those spots does the pitcher get the proper decision? no they do not. because the stat means nothing.

most of the time, yea

but if im 10-15 but have a 2.30 ERA and with a 1.10 WHIP doesnt that mean theres something wrong with my offense, not me? then you look at my game log and im losing all these 2-1, 1-0, 2-0 games because i cant get any runs scored for me. or when i do get runs my closer blows it and i dont get the win.

its really, really arbitrary. the whole thing. i know its tough for an old head to accept this but its just not something you need to pay attention to. when looking at cole hamels' game log from 2010 the first thing that pops to my mind is holy shtein they didnt score any runs for him, not holy shtein he sucks for losing all these 1-0 games.

Kendrick did well tonight.  Supposedly Worley was available in the pen (Blanton is scheduled to make his next start), but they went to the short guys.

Teheran looks like he could have a bright future.  He has a live ball.  The Braves have some pretty good young pitchers.

I had to laugh at Wheeler fluffing Orr for managing to not hit into a double play.

Madson doesn't have "it" to be a closer. But this has been discussed at length by me on here for 2-3 years now.

On the same note, Kendrick doesn't have "it" to be a pitcher in the bigs either. His performance last night doesn't change that.

Kendrick definitely has 'it', at times he looks very good and when his cutter is on he's a very good pitcher. He's just more incosistent than he is on...therein lies the problem. He'll never be a 1-3 guy but in an average rotation he's fine as a 4/5 guy.

sorta agree...im not writing madson off as a closer...i think he can do it...im just saying last nights performance proves nothing

kendrick should be a very good long man for the rest of his career...hes perfect for if a starter gets hurt early and has to come out or the starter gets lit up...in those situations on some days hes gonna be gasoline and on others hes going to give his team a chance to win...but either way you limit his downside by having him in that role

so what are you saying? His back of the BP spot is a wrong fit?

Let's see, his stint as a starter wasn't a fit. His stint back of BP wasn't a fit. But he'll shine as a long man?

I don't buy it. His bad innings are not bad, they're a stinkfest to the highest power.

Post by: ice grillin you on May 08, 2011, 09:36:38 AM
yeah his bad innnings are bad and his good innings are good...its the definition of a long man...sometimes hes gonna come in and spread the fire but other times hes gonna come in and throw four or five scoreless keep your team in the game and give you a chance to win...the point is that even if he sucks most likely hes in the game in the first place because your team is already in trouble so its no real damage if he blows

hes the kind of pitcher that can do well in the long role because normally the other team relaxes when they chase a starter early and this is where kendricks average stuff can get by in a methodical ho hum way.....as opposed to him starting a game where the other team is bearing down from pitch one

that's exactly how i see it.  kendrick recently has been a feast or famine type of pitcher.  as a long man if he's in he'll either run you out of a game you were losing anyway, or keep you in it by giving you 4 solid innings depending on which version of him shows up.

if you just go by the look test and not the records because the braves have actually played a real schedule...atlanta just looks more like a complete team than the phillies....they got a better lineup almost equivalent pitching a real closer....phillies have holes everywhere braves seem like a complete team...not a great team but a filled out one

now if GRIT and contreas both come back 100% then the situation may change but right now i dont see how the phillies beat out the braves for the division

his reasons are the Phils lost a few games so he decided to come post about Team X being the next team to be better than the Phillies.


The Braves lineup has been atrocious this year more or less. They're pretty much the same exact team as the Phils with slightly less better starting pitching and a better middle-back end of the bullpen.

oh sweet lord how much how much how much. lets make it 75 for all i care.

right now with the phillies missing half their lineup and pitching some called michael stutes in the 8th inning they are roughly even with atlanta

lets just see how the rosters look in sept, and i imagine they will not include dane sardinha and scott matheison

filled out offense....set bullpen roles....set closer

i dont see any place where the phils have a distinct advantage over the braves....i do give them a slight advantage in SP but its minimal and doesnt cancel out the advantages the braves have at other spots

that being said im willing to see how the phils do in this 20 game stretch ive pointed out....if their win % is even close to what it is now then i may reserve judgement....but how i see it now its definite advantage braves

even if they got 20-0 or i guess now 18-2 in this stretch it doesnt matter. theyre getting in and then they will be judged. farg im almost positive if they take care of the mets, nats, astros, etc. and play .500 against everyone else thatll get them to 90/95 wins, then they just hopefully are clicking at that time.

again i never sugarcoated the fact that the offense isnt very good and if it looks like this in september they arent good enough to win

but im fairly confident it wont look this is september. utley even 50% of the way back trumps what you get our of valdez/orr. they are going to make a move for a corner OF. ruiz will get back. contreras will get back. so will possibly whats left of lidge.

which is again why i say what they do now is irrelevent. they already proved they can take of the bad teams which leads you to believe theyll be around .500 at the worst with the good teams. and this is with dane sardinha and wilson valdez.

now take that an imagine the extra runs and outs theyll get when and if they are healthy.

if the rockies are in their division its a fight and im not sure how it goes down

but one franchise quits and gives cody ross away for nothing and the other plays before 25 people in big september games and has someone named freddie freeman at first base.

Quotethey are going to make a move for a corner OF.

Two excellent points.  Take care of business against the likes of the Mets, DC, Astros, DBacks, etc. and even if they just split with everyone else 95+ wins should not be an issue.

And they will get another outfielder.

Right now the Braves are looking like a better team but if the FO does some major damage control in the OF and once the bums get healthy they'll be fine. 

It's only May 8.  Can't start panicing until at least mid August.

obviously swinged at a poor pitch there but generally raul has had good at bats and his approach to the plate has been superb

now hes not really doing a whole lot with what hes swinging at but generally hes not getting himself out like that

Four DPs thrown by Joey B - good shtein.

It's time to pull the plug on Michael Martinez - does he have more than a couple hits? He's 28 years old. Offer him back to the Nats and get someone else in there

you know what i mean. he works the count, takes his walks and doesnt swing out of the zone too often. the difference is off the roids and at 39 the homers are now flyballs, the singles are groundouts, the doubles in the corner are humpback liners to 2nd.

so the 3-2 record the phillies had vs. atl and florida coming into this "stretch" meant nothing? and since when does an irrelevent team like st. louis matter, especially for a 2-game series. farg even the 2-gamer against colorado is pointless. its 2 random games in the middle of may.

every single player couldnt give 2 fargs who they are playing yet there you are, charting how they do against these teams like it means anything.

I don't know if you were serious or not, but I said mine in jest.  I mean the guy's had what, 3 or 4 save opportunities?  Big deal.  If we get into late June or early July and he's got 15+ saves with 2 or fewer blown, then maybe the guy is dialed in a little more because he's playing for a new contract.  But for the most part, I actually agree with igy on this issue:

Jayson Werth is a perfect example.  So is Derrick Jeter (although you could make the argument that Jeter has already been caked off plenty).  Still, both of them were in contract years last year and both performed below expectations.  Neither were terrible, but they didn't do anything last year to warrant the contracts they each received.

This is the least bothersome loss in a while. Both sides featured good pitching, and the game was essentially a tie with the Marlins catching a break on the throwing error. I don't think the Phillies blew it with the bases loaded. If anyone's to blame for that it's Manuel for putting Francisco and Sardinha in the game. What happened when they were at the plate is what was expected.

right now 5th through 9th is pretty terrible, and the 1-4 is nothing to cream your pants to, either. i will say that rollins, victorino and howard are all about where they are going to be. polanco is probably 20-30 points higher, so hes eventually due to start making some outs.

p.s. is there a back of the baseball card stat for what just happened to schneider? the logically answer is no, its just insanely bad luck, but im still holding out hope thats theres some kind of macho man stat to explain that.

Utley, Ruiz & Domonic Brown haven't played at all or only sparingly.    That's three out of eight regular starters who haven't even had a shot to contribute yet.

They're going through an awful stretch hitting right now and they still have the best record in baseball.

Phils minor leauger likes his recreational Ritalin:

QuoteNEW YORK (AP) -- Phillies second baseman Kevin Frandsen has been suspended for 50 games following a positive test under baseball's minor league drug program.

A veteran of five seasons with the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Angels, Frandsen signed a minor league contract with the Phillies on April 1. He became a free agent in December when the Angels declined to offer a 2011 contract, then went to spring training with the San Diego Padres, who released him on March 25.

The commissioner's office said Wednesday he tested positive for Ritalinic Acid.

The 28-year-old has a .243 career average with seven homers and 53 RBIs. He is hitting .321 this season at the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Good comeback! Great to see Jimmy smoke one to take the lead and Dumbshteinorino hit a goddamn laser.

Loved Orr's slide into home because he went flat on his back since the catcher was up the line to avoid a high tag.

Hanley Ramrirez is a lazy piece of garbage by the way. I'd have benches his sorry ass as soon as he pulled that bullshtein walking to first lookig into the dugout as his fly ball is lofting out to right. Rodriguez didn't even look at him. Sit his ass down.

Infuriating to watch them hack away early on at Nolascos farging backfoot slider. Never crossed their minds to lay the farg off.

they both also have 4 walks. 4.

i absolutely believe that stat.

and that was 4 walks this year, not just this month, if that wasnt clear enough.

so i mean, yea, even the utley of 2010 all gritted and washed up and shtein is a vast improvement from what they have now.

but despite all of this they are in 1st place and have the best record in baseball and the best record in the NL by 3 games. they suck!

I can't imagine this being the case.  I think Cholly is just going to go with a combo of his gut, who is rested and who needs work.   The pen had no action last night, so he could have used anyone really, but I guess he wanted to throw Kendrick out there to see how he handled it.  But really, as it stands right now, I don't think anyone in the pen has a defined role other then maybe Madson as the closer...but I don't even think Chuck will use him every time.

be brought in kendrick because the marlins were sending all right handers up there and he didnt quite trust basticho to handle it, since hes been a tad shaky of late.

so with that, his options were kendrick, stutes and baez. and he chose kendrick. and won a game of russian roulette.

when lidge and big truck get back things will be a bit more normal back there.

Poor Cliff Lee, it's been what, 26 innings that he's had no run support?  Madson was awesome tonight.

but the bottom line is his one-man bitchfest lets complain about meaningless bullshtein act is falling flatter than kevin james' standup.

he quit last night in some 5th inning whatever strikeout or something, they came back and won and that pissed him off. he wants this team to lose more than anything and its destroying him inside that even with a zesty lineup and a bunch of replacement level players theyre still actually really good and better than the braves and marlins, two teams he anointed as world series champions.

when i was a junior in high school, this nerdy jewish kid said jawn for everything. like pass me that jawn, im going to go to the jawn, where is the jawn, how is your jawn, did you do that jawn.

at that point juncture, the word had lost its meaning and was unconditionally uncool.

and igs still uses it....gotcha

so...back to CF getting irritated at what others say about Philly, here's a quote from Nats golden boy Bryce Harper:

QuoteIn West Virginia, Harper also endured the taunts of one particularly obnoxious fan who peppered him all series with, among other things, vulgarities pertaining to his mother and sister — stuff that was described by one person who was there as "the most vile things I've ever heard anyone say, on or off a baseball field."

Asked about that experience, Harper acknowledged having heard all of it. But then he shrugged again and said, "It's just getting me ready for Philly."

Interesting game...both infuriating and exciting at the same time.

After the 1st inning I thought they were on their way to a 12 run game. Then HOF Cristhian Martinez burst on the scene and made then look foolish (pitching AND hitting!). How they couldn't hit that guy I don't know. LOL at Hamels' pirouette in the first too.

Loved the missed called third on Victorino...that was an all-timer. I don't think I ever saw a catcher practically make it to the dugout before realizing the ump called it a ball.

how the farg was that infuriating

that game was your little faggy brother taking every shot at you and trying like hell to win a pickup game while you meander through it like it means dick. then you easily win in the end and hes crushed and youre like whatever this means shtein.

farging christ how small time is this fanbase. farg the farging braves this game meant shtein that means shtein. farg them.

farg maybe its the phillies fault for being so small time for so long for making you all think this way. but take it like this if the yankees beat the orioles in some may game is anyone worked up? no because they beat the god damn orioles.

the braves are the farging orioles. they dont matter. the marlins are a joke 85 win team. farg them. the mets and nats are second rate second division garbage. what a joke of a division its so god damn boring winning it every farging god damn year.

And to answer your Tecate induced question of "how could it be infuriating" then I point to the first six innings today how they go without a goddamn hit forever. Last night was hit the ball all over in the 1st and then get shut down for 4 by some farging minor leaguer.

this week fitzpatrick summed up the lil guy and his new battalion of youthful phillie fans perfectly

Quote

I have always believed Philly fans were among the toughest, most demanding in sports.

They rewarded and scolded the deserving with equal fervor. No player or team got a pass simply for wearing the home colors. They didn't worship. They respected.

There are knuckleheads afoot determined, with their childish devotion, to drag us down to the level of St. Louis or Memphis.

On Phillies telecasts, have you noticed the guy sitting behind home plate at Citizens Bank Park who occasionally holds up a sign that reads, "We Love You, Charlie M!"?

Has the Phillies' success really eroded our native skepticism to this level?

Once we took pride in our capacity to question any managerial decision, regardless of context. Now, like tittering schoolgirls, we compose the kind of brainless love notes you'd expect to find at military homecomings or Justin Bieber concerts.

you all should be used to it

its not 2008 anymore. i thought this was covered.

No we should not be used to it. They should be hitting the ball not flailing away like some goddamn juco team.

they have 3 above average hitters at their positions in their lineup, and that is being kind to jimmy

there isnt a lot of talent in the everyday lineup and there was never going to be a lot of talent. i said this in january but i guess youve got me confused with a man who 'peats himself: get used to 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 games.

Watching this game with the throwbacks makes it feel like 1979 and running down the hill to my friends house to watch the bums on TBS.  My neighborhood didn't get cable until 1981 so seeing the Phils on TV was like Xmas day.

nothing to get fired up about, or depressed

im not exactly sure what you expected out of a lineup that featured michael martinez, pete orr and raul ibanez, but i kind of figured 2 runs would be about it, especially against a guy like hudson and the relievers the braves have.

they got the 2 runs...halladay gave it away and that was it. tough to pitch on such a short leash like that but he is making 20 million dollars so i mean youd figure he wouldnt groove a fastball to dan uggla in the bottom of the 8th but what do i know?

ridiculously easy schedule = 8th hardest schedule in MLB according to W-L so far

Admittedly the Braves have the 2nd hardest schedule by the same measure, but that's only because they've played the Phils so much (who supposedly have an inflated W-L record).

I actually want the Phils to struggle a bit in this stretch.  I want a RF that can actually swing the bat on a consistent basis, and don't want Amaro to be able to claim that they're aces offensively when they aren't.

It isn't about May baseball, but I don't believe this is an offensive that will win in October, no matter how well the starting rotation pitches.  Get Utley back, get a real RF and get this team set.  Ben F. Francisco isn't going to cut it.

good news on saturday...last time texas was on fox at the same time as bos/nyy (i.e. a marquee national game), the entire state got the rangers. so we should be good there.

the other days, i get 2 fsn channels (now that i pay 7 bucks extra farg you very much time warner) and one always has the rangers and the other the astros. so its there somewhere for you, might just take going to a bar.

I remember reading on various sites last year when Wilson filled in for Jimmy that they thought he should be the Phils SS for 2011.  The only point to this story is that people are dumb. 

Valdez is a fine bench guy and good for a spot start or injury replacement, but that's about it.

This is hopefully what the lineup will look like a month from now....

Rollins
Polanco
Utley
Howard
Mayberry/Fransisco
Victorino
Brown/Raul
Chooch

It honestly can't possibly be any worse than Orr/Martinez/Valdez/Bums, and Raul getting AB's every day

Ok, trying to stay positive here but farging eh this offense is pathetic right now.  Lee didn't have his best stuff tonight and Doc had another 8th inning meltdown, which happens twice every decade so he's met his quota, but they keep this team in every game.  They're lucky that a bad game for the big 4 is a 3 run outburst by the opponent. I think Utley will obviously help but if everyone is sitting here thinking Dominic Brown is the answer, oh man I don't know.  Rube's got be wearing out the dial pad on his cell phone calling around the league looking for a bat.

They need Sir Gritsalot back.

Ruiz should start to hit soon, he's solid and I dont worry too much about him.

The worry points are LF and RF. I'd drop Francisco back to the bench and let Mayberry take over. He cannot do worse than Francisco.

They have to get an OF. But what do they do with Raul?

And what's your homie Roob gonna do? Who will he get?

What is Carlos Lee's contract situation? He signed a mega-deal, is it almost up? He's awful defensively but can hit. Raul is awful defensively and cannot hit. I like the Carlos Quentin idea a lot, but what will Kenny Williams want?

Salisbury points out the following;

Your Phightin' Phils have scored 3 or fewer runs in half of their games.

Part of it depends on how much financial room the owners give Amaro.  But it's clearly evident that they need a right-handed power-hitting OF.

Get RH OF.
Bring up Brown.
Shoot Ibanez.

I know they probably don't do this because they want Raul's lhb in the lineup, but they really should consider putting Mayberry in right and Francisco back to left.  Hell, if they want a lefty then give Gload a little more playing time or something.  It's not much better but can't really be any worse, can it?  Hopefully, when Grit comes back, that's the lhb that Cholly needs to pull Ibanez completely.

carlos lee is terrible. hes fat, his power is gone and hes walked i think once this year. hes not even an improvement over ibanez.

quentin isnt much better but he still does have 20 homer power. what kenny could want for him i do not know but id imagine it would start with major league ready pitching and the only thing the phillies have like that is vance worley.

its actually interesting to watch

in everyone of these games theyve been 1 hit away from winning. the pitching is really good and i honestly cant imagine the offense staying as bad as it is right now. just simply based on the law of averages it has to get better, on top of getting victorino and utley back and hopefully getting someone from outside the organization to play LF or RF.

its kind of like a string of 16's in blackjack, you need to just power through it.

i have no clue what coles FB/GB splits are but hes got a 90% chance to make an out and probably like a 30-40% chance that thats a flyball. contrast that to jimmy's roughly 27% chance to get a hit and im guessing cole hitting a sac fly is the better percentage play.

yea theyve been terrible since may of 2010, or something. is that what youre shooting for?

as i see it here at the 3 levels of fandom

1. havas--doom and gloom, world is ending, season is over, drama queen x 100000 over the top hyperbole
2. everyone else--overreacting to everything they see WIP style
3. me--blindly confident theyll wind up alright and too old to do group 2 again

1. nothing matters unless they win the world series and they arent going to - me
2. i love overreacting but deep down they are winning the world series - everyone else
3. i think they are the greatest and love them no matter what happens - you , wheels, exits 1-6 on the nj turnpike

i realize you are incapable of seeing it like this but 1 run over 7 innings is 1 run over 7 innings

that run could have come in the 1st or the 7th and it means the same.

the less outs there are left in the game the more important a lead becomes

so let me just get this straight

hamels = Hoyda for giving up a run in the 7th
hamels = ?? for striking out fowler in the 8th with leading run in scoring position

i dont really know how to answer but i will say that giving up a late game tying run is worse than striking out someone is a good thing...runs are always more important than outs

like jimmy knocking in a run there is better than if he simply singled in the 8th inning of a game

also to your earlier ridiculous point thats a run is a run is a run....you really dont believe that jimmys rbi there is the same as if he got a second inning rbi do you?
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: MDS on May 18, 2011, 09:25:14 PM
no of course not...but you cant compare at bats to starts. starts are kind of independent creatures where you have to look at the whole thing. at bats are each to their own, meaning what you do in the 8th obviously has more bearing in the moment than what you do in the 2nd.

that goes against true saber dorks. they feel theres no such thing is clutch or big moments or anything like that. however i would say that a 12 year vet getting a sac fly in that spot isnt clutch. it just is.

the bigger play that was indicative of the moment was ianetta dropping the ball to get valdez to 3rd. if its the 2nd i dont think he does that.

Ahhhhh all is well in Phillieville;

Offense sucks (5 hits or less in 5 straight for first time since '69) but scratch out a win because of the normally putrid bottom of the order.

Choke is slumping.

Raul is near death.

Jimmy is fine, iceholes.

The Phillies entered Wednesday's game 10th in the NL in runs scored. While that's troubling at first, it should be pointed out that just nine more runs this season - a small number when spread out over more than 40 games - would move them up to fifth in the league. More important: Only three other NL teams - the Reds, Cardinals, and Braves - have better run differentials. The Phils aren't that far off the production pace - even though, as Manuel noted, they've been without some key players, including Chase Utley. (Oh, and if you think Jayson Werth would fix all this, check his numbers with the Nats. He's not exactly mashing the ball down in D.C.)

But wait, you say again. They can't always win close games, you cry. That's true, too. No matter how well the starters pitch, the Phils - and this will surprise some of you - can't win them all. Sometimes, they're going to lose several in a row. That's nothing new, either. Last year, they had four three-game losing streaks, three four-game slides, and one five-game skid. And they still won 97 games.

So I guess thanks to corksucking middle ages goddamn Fox they're not on tonight for 99% of the country.   The good news is everyone in the country gets to watch the Yankees/Mets.   Yay!

How could the rest of the country possibly want to watch NY vs NY over another exciting 2-1 thriller featuring the Phils' all-star lineup?

QuotePhillies Could Face Luxury Tax With Deadline Moves
By Mark Polishuk [May 21, 2011 at 8:36pm CST]

Much has been written about the Phillies' need for offense, especially if Chase Utley doesn't return to form when he returns from the disabled list.  While fans expect the Phils to pick up another bat (be they role players or perhaps even a star like Hunter Pence), the club could face a stiff financial penalty with a major addition.

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com notes that Philadelphia may be forced to pay the Competitive Balance Tax for the first time, which would happen if the Phillies' season-ending payroll (counting bonuses, incentive clauses, etc.) reaches the $178MM plateau.  As it stands, Salisbury calculates the Phillies currently have a $175MM payroll.  Cot's Baseball Contracts has a $165MM payroll figure for the Phils, but Salisbury notes that the $11MM the Phillies received from the Astros in the Roy Oswalt trade doesn't count for luxury tax purposes.

Only four teams have had to pay the luxury tax  -- the Angels (2004), Tigers (2008), Red Sox (2004-07, and last season) and Yankees, who have paid every season since the CBT was instituted in 2003.  Teams are taxed 22.5% for every dollar they spent past $178MM, so the fine isn't a light one.  The Yankees paid $18MM in luxury tax last season for surpassing the 2010 CBT threshold of $170MM.

Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro said he "doesn't know" if he has payroll flexibility to make a deadline move that would put the Phils in position to pay the CBT.  As Salisbury notes, it will be hard for the Phils to find a taker for such big contracts as Raul Ibanez or Joe Blanton, and while someone like Jimmy Rollins (a free agent after this season) would draw interest, moving Rollins would create another hole in the club's lineup.

If I had to guess, though, I'd say the Phillies have enough already invested in this season as a World Series-or-bust campaign that if they have the chance to acquire a talent like Pence, they'll make that move and worry about the financial consequences in the winter.  Winning a championship would definitely take the sting out of an offseason luxury tax payment.

Hmmm...Hunter Pence looks retarded but is pretty good. I doubt the Astros would deal him though.

hunter pence is signed through 2014 and probably isnt a logical trade option. why would the astros want to give him up? the catch is hes arbitration eligible the next few years so maybe they are scared of that, but with a new owner coming in i would doubt hed want to give up his best player for whatever long term prospects the phillies have.

carlos lee will certainly be out there but hes fat and he sucks and i dont want him.

Im far from a hater. You'll never catch me calling WIP to piss and moan or get angry. You'll never catch me agreeing with Cataldi or Hughes.

I love the Phillies and baseball as a whole. I watch every game and so what if I make comments while watching. Frustrating or exciting or boring it doesn't matter, I watch.

You and Todd seem to think that making innocuous comments translates into hate and whining. Not true at all. So what if I get pissed because something happens?

Sports invoke emotions. If I'm such a hater and whined why do I predict them to finish first and win close to a hundred?

Love the Phils, won't complain too much, but it's painfully obvious that without at LEAST one additional stick (and not the return of Utley), this team won't get to the ultimate goal this season.  And after spending so much to build this rotation, to not address that issue would be a grave disappointment.

Keep in mind, that the Phils won 2 of 3.....which is more or less what they've done all year.  I think they've only swept 3 series (Hou, SD, DC) but haven't been swept in any 3+ game series.  The offense is a little worse than I think most people thought they'd be, but they've also given up the fewest runs in all of MLB.  Once Grit comes back, as long as the pitching holds up, this should be a middle of the pack offense with dominant pitching.  In other words, the 2010 SF Giants.

I find myself often comparing the bums to the Giants of last year.  Here's how they compare this year

GIANTS
RUNS 158 28th
Overall BATTING AVERAGE .241 24th
Overall ON BASE PERCENTAGE .307 25th
Overall SLUGGING PCT .366 23rd

ERA 3.16 4th
Overall QUALITY STARTS 28 11th
Overall WHIP 1 .20 3rd
Overall BAA  .223 2nd

BUMS
RUNS 176 23rd
Overall BATTING AVERAGE .246 18th
Overall ON BASE PERCENTAGE .313 22nd
Overall SLUGGING PCT .368 22nd

ERA  3.03  2nd
Overall QUALITY STARTS 32 1st
Overall WHIP 1.20 2nd
Overall BAA .242 8th

Right now I'd take Doc, Lee and Hamels any day.  Tim Lincecum is still a beast but Sanchez and Cain aren't doing anythng special and Bumgarner is 1 -6.

the big difference and one that doesnt show up on stat sheets is that the giants came out of nowhere whereas the phillies are the overwhelming favorite....theres a lot of pressure that comes with that...the giants were freewheeling and letting it loose.....the phillies will be expected to win every single game in the NL playoffs and if a team beats halladay say in a game one then the pressure becomes suffocating at that point...especially on the hitters who when facing good pitching in the playoffs are going to struggle big time in general

You'd think someone with even a rudimentary grasp of sports would be able to discern the difference, but hey, if it somehow makes your life fuller to play the contrarian day after day, then have at it.

you should have been ready to be "disgusted" in march when they set this lineup as it is.

there isnt a lot of talent and theres never going to be a lot of talent. its not challenging. if they had the red sox lineup id be all for killing them but i cant sit here and get angry that ben francisco and jon mayberry arent producing.

You knew it would happen sooner or later.....even bad offenses score runs in bunches from time to time.  Not to mention that even the pre-grit lineup was still better than 1 or 2 runs a game, they just slumped collectively.  It happens. 

Speaking of Grit....I'm not watching but what's up with the infield single to 2nd that's showing on game cast?  Was it a legit infield single hit deep in the hole or is Utley a little slow in the field?

What the hell is going on out there?!?

His Gritness hath risen!

This is nice to see. I like the fact that Ruiz is driving the ball to right field. That usually means he is about to heat up. Dom's had some nice rips too, just no results.

Now...

Wheels and TMac are awful. Even for them this is awful. I wonder if they've cleaned Utleys goo off their chins? Jeez! When they had the shot of him standing in the dugout before his 2nd AB and Wheels was fawning over him. They changed camera angles and be was like "and there he is from the other angle, it's so great".

Then they lauded every member of the organization for their hard work in Utleys recovery. Seriously? We should thank Perlozzo for hitting him grounders? Scott Sheridan for rehabbing him like he should?

Oh - and please tell me you guys saw that meth-head Kenzo on the screen after Polancos homer! Straight up meth head reppin' the city loud and proud. Ugh.

when lidge gets back the phillies need to make a call on baez or stutes. i think we all know what the answer should be there. the question is: is it better for stutes to be the last man out of the pen or to get regular work in lehigh and stay fresh?

Sure, it's exciting having Utley back, but the people who are playing connect the dots with his return and the team scoring 10 runs on a night where he went 0-5 are absolutely nuts.  Are they a better offense with him in the lineup?  Yes.  But some of the crap being spewed online or on the radio or teevee is just vomit inducting.

if he brings in kendrick or baez or romero youd cry for madson if they gave up runs

you are such a drama queen. no one you should be paying attention to thinks like that.

youve been waiting since day 1 to say that and finally madson gives up a run and there you go. i dont understand this. he gave up a run and lost the game. it happens a few times a season to every single closer. big deal.

the last time madson gave up a run was april 18. he was due to get hit a little bit. it eventually had to happen.

contreras hasnt given up an earned run this year. guess what? he will pretty soon.

this is the problem with phillie homers these days....instead of looking at the big picture and seeing the real issue....they instead look at a may game and say all is well...ive never seen anything quite like it in philadelphia sports history

understand no one gives a farg that he blew a game last night or that he saved five in a row before this....the only thing that matters is that the phillies do not have a proven closer and have a suspect bullpen in general....this doesnt matter now when batters are taking games off all the time....but come october when you are tied or close late against good hitters who are bearing down you want proven guys who you have confidence in

excluding brad lidge and i dont think anyone expects anything out of him this year there is not a single postseason save on this roster

0 saves
2 blown saves

thats it thats the list

Without a doubt Madson should have been in there + that should be chalked up to a shtein happens. If Howard scoops that throw, then maybe the inning doesnt get going. I place more blame on him for not digging that out than I do on Madson.

who gives a shtein how many previous postseason saves someone has. theres no guarantee its even going to be madson. right now its just talk when manuel blabs on about how amazing he is. if madson doesnt perform hell be out of there and contreras or lidge will take his place.

you are seriously to phillies fans what glenn beck is the republicans. just saying dumbass shtein to get people riled up. overreacting to nonsense and making it seem like the end of the world. thing is at least they are good at it.

Only questioned the move as it wasn't a save situation and I thought he might leave basticho' in as he pitched an almost effortless 8th.  Yes, a lot of managers bring in their closer in this situation.  Plus with Mayberry and most likely one of the weaker bats of fthe bench (Martinez) leading off the bottom of the ninth it reeked of extra innings.

Now looking back on it, Charlie was right.  Masdson hadn't pitched since Saturday and was fresh.

Speaking of douchiness of fans - whats up with the LA Dodger fan thing of arriving late now? Even a couple of the beat writers mentioned that the stands dont seem to get packed until the 3rd now

probably because of the single worst feature of the stadium. the fact that if you want a beer that is not miller lite, fries, and a hot dog before you get into your seats... you need to get into three separate lines, with decrepitly slow geriatrics working the registers.

I admittedly normally miss the top of the 1st or so, if i wait to leave my house until 6:20ish the schukyll clears out and i fly to the stadium, as opposed to leaving at 5:00 to get there by 6:45.

its a combo of that (people going to ashburn ally, getting food and beer) and the "in" thing of people going to games to be seen and not really caring if they get there on time.

this is what happens when you win a lot. its the price you pay i guess.

The stadium was designed for 35-40K showing up every night even though capacity is higher.  I doubt anyone ever expected 45K a night.  I hated it the last time I was there because it was packed to the seams.

thats 3 times this season hes wore down when he goes past the 100 pitch mark

he is 34 and has thrown a shteinload of innings over the last 5 years...also have to remember last year was the first time he pitched passed september....probably at this point in his career charlie needs to look to get wins out of him not complete games

but charlie is about as dumb as it gets in a dugout so really it shouldnt be surprising that he lets him throw 190 pitches every game

i cant disagree with this

probably want to cut him at 100 until its gets real late in the season, then start opening it up a little bit more.

especially considering how few innings the bullpen has thrown, it wouldnt kill them.

the hard part is overcoming who he is and the "hes a horse" thing...mentally you gotta pretend its fatty blanton out there and not be intimdated into leaving halladay in too long

And Valdez gets to face the meat of Cincy's lineup too.  Pretty sure this game ends here......horribly.

He tossed in a fat dip of Copenhagen, so he's ok.

Babe Ruth (in 1921) is the only other player in history to start a game in the field and finish as the winning pitcher.  Babe Ruth.  Wilson Valdez.

and Valdez has more wins than Ubaldo Jimenez and as many as Chris Carpenter

Also loved the heckling of Fisher in the 19th like he was a beaten goalie. FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHERRRRRRRRRRR  FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHERRRRRRRRRRRR

This was amazing to me. After crouching behind home plate for 18 innings, this guy ran that hard and dove into the stands in the 19th. He's such a stud.

and everyone of your "predictions" revolves around them losing to some AA pitcher like "capper" or something. you are rush spreading non stop hate 24/7 because your precocious little indie band went mainstream and didnt give you a spot on the tour bus. oh so other people are blowing the lead singer now? cant share his cock? too bad.

im not talking about out...i was saying if oswalt came back he could have very well gotten the loss where as the capper was safe

lol 4-2 is weak against garbage like this....nats are guaranteed sweep with halladay lee oswalt....losing two of three to the mets to me is normal as they play the mets .500...but to you that should be suicide inducing....btw they have lost three games all year to under .500 and now two losses in these six games you are "guaranteeing" 24 hrs after you said a big streak is coming

also when you play 20 inning games it doent catch up to you till the second day after and thats what you are seeing now

so their response to that is to put 10 games on the same time, regionalize the hell out of it, and piss off out of town fans who cant watch the teams they want to watch even though they pay 120 bucks for full season deals.

but i mean this is the same league that is deathly afraid of having their content on youtube so what do you expect

Good question.  Cole looked really good his last four innings.  Palfrey pitched a hell of a game.  Let's say the offense bailed him out.

i know yous dont like hearing this but that out was as anticlimatic as it gets

It won a World Series. Put a SHRED of emotion in your voice if you are calling a world series winning game.

Wow, how bad is Joe Buck? His monotone, awful lack of any emotion when Choke hit that double was reminiscent of his same monotone, awful lack of emotion call of Lidge's WS winning K.

I can't stand Buck, doing any sport.  People always give me shtein for ragging on him but he's always milked that whole Philadelphia and the brutal fans angle  Hey Joe, did you hear the Mets fans boo Bay and the Bullpen?  I'm sure he's thinking they're just frustrated.

no...just that he rarely ever outpitches anyone...if its close and you have to actually ask what happened then best believe that the answer is that nicole didnt get it done

I like Joe Buck and don't mind his monotone voice. You have to keep in mind he's a national guy and doesn't carry the passion of a local announcer. It's hard to get excited when you're not emotionally invested in something.

Love this call:
"Desean Jackson...."
"Gets a block!"
"Are you kidding me!"

Don't be a national announcer calling a World Series clinching game then. If you can't put any emotion behind the winning strike out...you shouldn't be doing what you do.

Also with the world series call I'm glad Buck's voice was monotone and not what I remember the most. The crowd reaction, fireworks, and The Who in the background are enough to give me goosebumps whenever I think of that moment.

So, they're not even really trying to win when they get to the bottom of the rotation. Still have a pretty good shot against the Mets though.

Also, they could conceivably play a whole game with zero white players today (Worley is half-Chinese), though Kendrick, Stutes, Utley, or Gload might enter later.

read randy millers bio of harry. tells the whole story.

short version:
whitey was slipping. whitey gets moved off the 9th inning on tv. whitey blames wheeler. wheeler says he had nothing to do with it. harry stays out of it. harrys second wife loves whitey and blames wheeler. over time she convinces harry that wheeler is a pos since harry is the nicest man ever and refuses to see the bad in people. harry and wheeler now hate each other. wheeler especially hates wifey. harry is too nice and loyal to get wheeler canned. harry dies. we still have to deal with wheeler. the end.

Halladay was far from his best self, but battled tough - 10 hits, 3 HR in 7 inning, but only 4 runs given up.

Ibanez has been hitting much better this month.  Hopefully he can keep that up through the summer.  Still want a right-handed hitter with some pop.

Vance Worley optioned to AAA - Easy, is that his last option?  No one called up yet.

I may be showing my age, but I remember that players used to have three options - meaning three times to be sent freely to the minor leagues.  Just checked the rulebook, and apparently since Worley is on the 40-man, he can be shuttled back and forth as often as desired/necessary for three years.  If I am not mistaken, it used to be that the team could only "option" the player three times total before having to waiver him.

Heard on WIP this weekend;

- a caller said that Jimmy Rollins was overrated and his MVP was a sham.

- one guy last night wants to trade Howard to STL for Pujols (because Howard hasnt gotten better); move Utley to 1st, play Polanco at 2nd....and have Pujols play 3rd.

I love these games in DC.  The crowds reaction with two down, two strikes and Madson on the mound in the bottom of the ninth was awesome.  Good crowd today.


It was a fun game yesterday.  I like the new Nationals park.  Even better, the traffic wasn't too bad.  The lower bowl was filled but emptied as the game went on since people wanted out of the sun.

the most alarming number is his strikeouts....he basically was a 1:1 bb/k guy coming into the season and now this year he has more k's than bb and rbi combined...thats a staggering drop off

hes also down 40 pts in average

doesnt mean hes gonna flame out and the jump from low to high A is a dramatic one but the guy has clearly regressed thus far at the next next level

Utley's played like 5 games and still has 562K in AS votes (currently 3rd behind Phillips and Weeks)

Chooch is 4th among catchers, but Posey has the lead and he's done for the year

choke is 4th (Pujols, Votto, Fielder)

JRoll is 2nd, more than double behind Tulowitzki

Polanco is 1st among 3Bs (and Sandoval and Wright being out has helped with that)

Victorino 7th and Ibanez 13th among OFs

Oswalt on being lifted for a pinch hitter:

Quote"That's their decision. He's the manager of the team. I don't question too much of that, but that's the first time I've been taken out at 79 pitches," Oswalt said. "We'll see how it goes."

Manuel noted that it was hot, and a lot of Oswalt's pitches were borderline. It was Oswalt's fourth start since missing three weeks with a lower back injury. He hasn't won since April 21.

I thought he pitched fine.  Had to pull him to get HOF to the plate who almost pulled it off.  I'm starting to believe in Brown.  He's been swinging the bat well.  Stutes looked really good.

such a bad decision to send down Mayberry and keep Martinez.  not to mention why are they putting on this charade with Gload when he can't do anything.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: MDS on June 03, 2011, 06:19:49 PM
ok no

the decision was between AAAberry and francisco. not exactly picking between talented players here but thats what it came down to.

gload is the only left handed option off the bench since HOF brown figures to be starting 75% of the time. surgery would push him out of the year and at this juncture hes still an alright pinch hitter. so he stays.

martinez hasnt exactly performed well but hes first off a rule-5 guy and if you DFA him you run the risk of losing him. might not matter, might come back to bit them. either way, he can play every position and gives them some speed off the bench. most of all, it gives them flexibility to do some different things in game and rest aging players like polanco or jimmy (like on sunday when they threw the game against the mets).

so really, logicially, it had to be francisco and AAAberry and they axed the one hitting .230 with 3 homers,  not the one hitting .224 with 6 homers.

both these guys arent really effective major leaguers so i dont even see why anyone even gives a shtein. AAAberry's had 3 years to show he belongs and he never did.

You're farging crazy Todd.

Martinez is a 28yr old minor leaguer who sucks. His name should get the AAA and not MAAAyberry.

You offer that bum back to the Nationals. If they take him, so what? And if you love him that much then you offer them cash or a PTBNL to keep him.

But like Mo said - Gload should be on the DL. Then after he comes off you offer Mike Mike back to the Nats.

oh thanks todd, i didn't realize that martinez was a rule 5, thanks for that stunning revelation.  my god, they must keep him then.  i mean, they may have to give his horrible bat and lousy defense back to the nats.  god forbid.

mayberry can play 1b, and all outfield positions and can steal you a base.  assuming you "have" to keep gload on the roster for a left handed bat (60 DL, trade for Thome, ftw) and the three options of sending down are mayberry, francisco, and martinez.  they picked the one wrong answer.

i never said martinez was good. i just said because he can run and because hes can play every position hes more valuable off the bench than AAAberry, on top of the rule 5 stuff.

also they already said resting gload for 15 would do nothing. its either surgery and hes done for the year or play through it.

Quote from: SunMo on June 03, 2011, 07:49:51 PM
oh thanks todd, i didn't realize that martinez was a rule 5, thanks for that stunning revelation.  my god, they must keep him then.  i mean, they may have to give his horrible bat and lousy defense back to the nats.  god forbid.

mayberry can play 1b, and all outfield positions and can steal you a base.  assuming you "have" to keep gload on the roster for a left handed bat (60 DL, trade for Thome, ftw) and the three options of sending down are mayberry, francisco, and martinez.  they picked the one wrong answer.

i thought about getting thome 2 weeks ago but first off he just went on the dl and second off he hasnt played in the field in 4 years. hes really at best an august 31 pick up.

but that doesnt matter now. they sent down a triple a player! and kept another triple a player on the roster! oh my god, its such a big deal!!

no matter what move they made it really wasnt going to make a difference. i honestly cant believe people are catching feelings for a guy hitting .230.

This offense is just a big farging joke right now.  Jesus christ, Hamels throws a one hitter through 8, a one hitter and this is what we get?  What's worse is Hamels had two of the six hits.  Buy um a round of drinks Cole.

Post by: MDS on June 03, 2011, 10:41:25 PM
theres really nothing to be happy about

the offense isnt very good and is going to go through spurts like this. couple that with them playing in a ballpark that for some reason gives them problems and the bullpen possibly blowing up over the next stretch of games and it might start to get a little rough.

but just hang tight, theyre good and it wont last forever.

i aint got nothing to say except you all should have penned in a 1/3 this weekend. they never play well at pnc and its well past the point of making any sense.

im not even mad about this, it just is unexplainable baseball stuff.

though not a shock to see don carry the momentum and take it up a level. you know what i mean mikey.

it actually goes against saber stats. there is no explanation for why they cant win at pnc. saber people just point to endless numbers and never actually watch games.

they just dont win there and it just is. i cant explain it. its just one of those things you have to accept and chalk it up to baseball being a strange game.

and again need i remind you its june and they are 2 games up on florida. you talk gloom and doom 24/7 and im begging you to bet more than the pocket change 25 spot we have now. until you put up more cash on your hate, there is no piont in playing along to your drama games.

there are no numbers to explain why they cant win there, so how is this a saber/ignorant old school back of the card debate?

i dont think its mental since that stuff is overblown but it definitely is something.

also nice sidestep around not upping the $. 25 is such a pointlessly low bet we might as well not even do it.

you just dont get it....no one cares why...all they care about is that this team this year is not going to win the world series...and it has nothing to do with winning in pittsburgh...

i guess the nats series means nothing as well since they always win there

this is how it goes both ways with you people....

pittsburgh always lose...there is nothing to see here

washington always win....there is nothing to see here

in your mind no matter what happens the phillies will always be ok

well if theyre not going to win then we can all stop investing time and do normal person things. good. see you later.

im not getting too high or low based or anything. its a long ass season. theres going to be times when they look like a AAA team. theres going to be times when they cant lose. such is a long season in baseball. right now its one of the bad stretches. instead of cutting my wrists like you want to, im just gonna tough it out and hope a homestand or something can change things.

again, i never said this was going to be a cakewalk of a season. it very may well come down to game 162. it may be over by sept 15. i have no idea. but no matter how tomorrow goes im still confident theyll find a way to win the nl east, mostly because the teams chasing them are small time.

you are non stop hate 24/7. weve already beat it into the ground why you hate this team (indie band going mainstream analogy) and you are what you are. i still get a kick out of it so dont like it aint be workin.

im stubborn with this. im confident in the nl east and even though the last 4 games have been terrible they are still up 2 and being chased by teams without fan bases and without a real interest or desire to win. so im cool.

I wouldn't go that far.  Their pitching is good enough to get them to the playoffs and from there anything can happen.  Eventually they're going to start hitting either by the current idiots heating up or hopefully by Smug Jr. getting help from elsewhere.

i was making fun of...whatever.

there are no moves to make. corner OF is the only area they could make a trade and ibanez and brown arent the issue. their offense is mediocre and is always going to be mediocre but itll generally score enough runs to win 3-2 games. problem is when a scoring chance gets farged over by some bad luck like hitting the umpire in the foot it could cost you since they just arent going to be able to pile on that many scoring chances each game.

all he had to do was walk two thirds of the way down the line and the pirates have two options

1. pitch to choke and the minute the pitcher lifts his foot victorino runs home and scores
2. come out of your shift and put your third basemen at his normal spot

instead that dope tays on third base for the entire at bat...amazing

then he literally walks home not realizing that if utley tags and gets thrown out at second base before victorino scores the run doesnt count

3 games up

world champion marlins swept at home by milwaukee in front of 15 people. just an abberation, though. theyll run off a 20 game win streak soon enough because no one beats the almighty marlins.

also best record in the nl but thats just luck until cy jurrjens start pitching every day.

and tied for the best record in baseball but again its all because of the easy ass schedule theyve played. no boston yet. all luck.

they just dont seem like a world series team to me.

Not sure I'd call it the whooping stick, as the first three runs were scored without benefit of a hit:

Top 4th
Quote- R. Halladay walked 
- S. Victorino walked, R. Halladay to second 
- P. Polanco walked, R. Halladay to third, S. Victorino to second 
- C. Resop relieved J. McDonald 
- C. Utley grounded into fielder's choice, R. Halladay out at home, S. Victorino to third, P. Polanco to second 
- R. Howard hit sacrifice fly to deep left center, S. Victorino scored, P. Polanco to third, C. Utley to second 
(Granted, Brown did single off the ump right after this, but the Phils did not get a hit to score this run.)

Top 5th
Quote- R. Halladay walked 
- S. Victorino walked, R. Halladay to second 
- P. Polanco walked, R. Halladay to third, S. Victorino to second 
- C. Resop relieved J. McDonald 
- C. Utley grounded into fielder's choice, R. Halladay out at home, S. Victorino to third, P. Polanco to second 
- R. Howard hit sacrifice fly to deep left center, S. Victorino scored, P. Polanco to third, C. Utley to second 
- R. Ibanez intentionally walked 
- C. Ruiz hit by pitch, P. Polanco scored, C. Utley to third, R. Ibanez to second 
- D. Brown grounded out to first

I was thinking the same thing - I'd like to see Brown higher in the lineup. 

Brown still has a long swing, and will probably be prone to slumps because of it.  He does seem to have made the adjustment to MLB pitching, though, and gives the Phils some speed if he can get on consistently.

And even then you're still faced with Ibanez and Brown being back to back unless you put Brown 8th and Ruiz 7th

Give props to Valdez for his play early on. That was a thing of beauty, as well as the scoop by Choke. Beautiful.

And the diving stab by Grit was awesome too.

Frustrating offense early. Vic is dumb. Thankfully they were able to bust out a bit later on. Hopefully that helps them catch fire a bit.
As I live out of the area and must read about the game on game day, please explain how he didn't score. I couldn't figure that out.

I missed that inning as well so could someone clarify what coconut brain did or should I say did not do.

He is now known as DUI Dane.

Dangerous will return once he drives a run in or hits a homer.

Besides the obvious question about DUI, the question is what the hell was he doing in Cape Coral?  You don't just drive through the Cape - you have to be there for a reason, and I can't think of any for a major league baseball player.  It's basically home for a bazilion retirees.  Not a real hot nightspot or great beach or anything.

That's just it, you don't go through Cape Coral to go anywhere else.  It's on a peninsula, pretty far from the interstate (probably as far away as Clearwater, come to think about it), and is about as bland as a Florida coastal city can get.  It makes Naples look like a thriving nightlife city, and that's hard to do.  It's also a good 15-20 miles from either Ft. Myers team (Twins and Red Sox) through some crappy traffic during tourist season.  Ft. Myers I could understand, as that is more of a touristy/nightlife city.  Your point about a friend is probably the reason.

The population sounds more impressive than it really is (150,000 people, but spread over 120 square miles).  Large sections of the "city" are empty lots devoid of trees or anything else.

The fishing could make sense, but again there are as good if not better fishing spots in Ft. Myers or Ft. Myers Beach.  Though, to think about it, the best spots may be Pine Island or Matlacha, both of which you would have to go through the Capr to reach, so you may have something there. (sorry, sort of thinking as I type here)

No big deal, just the fact that he was in the Cape surprised me a bit.

sure they have the best record in baseball but its all an aberration until they start playing real times like the 1998 yankees and 1986 mets. they would never beat those teams. ever.

they just dont look like a world series team, unlike the florida marlins who once again beat the milwaukee brewers. oh wait.

It's not overreacting. It's commenting and being frustrated at what I see. I'd say the same shtein as I sit here or if I was at the park. And it's not said angrily or anything like that.

@ J i watch every game so its not like im not in this class but not everything that happens needs a reaction, its like someone is running a 5 mile race and at the end of the 1st mile they are leading but lose .4 seconds of their lead and then you scream and holler and freak out and its just like...umm there are 4 miles left and im in the lead. calm it down.

June 2008:  12-14

I'm not saying you have to be satisfied with their play, and I agree that, as constituted they have a lessened shot at a championship (my kingdom for a RH OF with power), but to use a month to prove their inability to win is overkill.

Also, though they have been .500 in a calendar month, they have managed to increase their lead in that same span by one game.  So, unless you actually expect them to play at .500 for the rest of the regular season, they should be able to hold onto the division lead the rest of the way.  It's the playoffs I am worried about.

completely different teams...that team was expected to have months like that because the offense would tend to go into bad slumps...now you dont have to win every game obviously but this team with this staff should never ever have a streak like this and the fact that they are is very troubling....this offense is downright putrid unlike 2008 and will ultimately be the downfall (that and the pitching will be good but not as good as it needs to be)...what you will have in the playoffs is games like tonight where they have the pitching matchup advantage but ultimately lose the game...and in fact they will never have this kind of matchup advantage in the playoffs

I hate to take a page out of igy's playbook but I imagine that most people from the NE don't really care, know or care to know.  Hell, before I moved out there I knew of KCMO but I had no idea there was a KCK just across the border.

Yes.  But their game in SF ended around 3pm.  5 hours to get from SF to SD?  Granted, the flight is only 90 minutes but they still gotta do post game pressers and everything, then go to the airport and fly to SD, then get to the hotel and check in.  Hell, just getting from the ballpark to the airport would be kind of a nightmare, especially that time of day.  Seems like it would be a little more time consuming than that.  Guess it's possible though.

the whole origin of GRIT is facetious....hes never done anything wrong because hes so GRITty....his fielding went from awful to solid but you would have thought he was the best fielding second basemen in the majors because hes so GRITlicious...when he came back this year he might have started out 2-26 but his GRIT willed the offense to all of a sudden become good....

where are these farging dumbasses who credited him for bringin the offense alive because by nothing more than pure coincidence they scored a few runs right around the time he came back...well now he sucks and so has the offense for all but like two of the games since his return...where are those idiots now?

not an utley apologist, and it doesn't really matter, but people who use defensive fielding statistics state pretty unequivocally that utley has been the best defensive 2B the last 5 or so years.

Meh, I'm not going to pretend to know enough about someone's defensive capabilities beyond what I can see, but he has been one of the best fielders at any position according to them.  I think people who rely solely on anything related to sabermetrics are limiting themselves, but those who dismiss them out of hand are equally short sighted.  But I'm also pretty sure this conversation has been had around here before once or twice.

We'll agree that Utley has a crowd of apologists who refuse to cast criticism on him when it's deserved and that he's a good fielder.

Tonight's lineup vs. CHI: Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Polanco 3B, Ibanez LF, Brown RF, Ruiz C, Halladay P.

chuckles finally listened to me and went with the lineup i suggest way back in april. watch this be the magical formula for success.

This will make everyone feel better:

Ashley Fox this morning:

Quote
But offensive numbers league-wide are in decline. This season, the league's batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage have all dipped. Why? One big reason is the pitching is better.

Consider this: Through June 8 of last year, all teams in baseball were averaging 4.4 runs a game. Through June 8 of this year, that number had fallen precipitously to 4.1. Depending on whether you round the number up, the Phillies are at 4.0 runs per game, just a tick below the league average but right at their sweet spot.

Going into Thursday night's game, the Phillies had scored at least four runs 27 times this season; 24 times they had won. Their .889 winning percentage when scoring four runs was significantly higher than that of the next-closest team. Cleveland is .818 when scoring four or more runs.

Also, while the Phillies are hovering around four runs a game, teams playing against the Phillies are averaging 3.4 runs a game, well below the league average. The Phillies are hard to score against.

Post by: Sgt PSN on June 10, 2011, 06:37:53 PM
Unfortunately, the Phils are like 8 games under .500 when they score 3 or less.  I've been saying it since December or January....the Phils offense will be middle of the pack, maybe a little above average.  The pitching is going to have to carry this team for the bulk of the year and the entire post season so the rotation has got to find a way to keep opponents from scoring more than 2 runs.  It's a daunting task and an unfair burden put on them, but that's basically what they (and by they, I mean Rube) asked for.  And I'm not calling out Rube either.  But at the same time, the starting pitching hasn't lived up to the hype, especially #2 and 3.  Lee and Oswalt need to get straightened out, and I think they eventually will.

08 is probably a little better there on paper but until those guys dont get the job done for a consistent period of time im not really going to worry about it

on top of that you can figure lee, halladay and hamels will get them into the 8th on a regular basis which means you wont need the middle relief guys as much. that 1 game oswalt will start where his black flares up in the 6th would be a different story.

So IGY is bashing the bullpen because two of the guys towing the line are getting their first real shots at doing it for the whole season, and since we're onyl 2 months into that season, we should be worried?

Pretty sure they've been the best bullpen in baseball this year besides the Rays.


Also, IGY luvs him some W's for pitchers, and continuously bashes the starting rotation as not even the best in it's own division....but they have two guys in the top 5 in wins. And they're the only team with two guys with 8+

yup never said they would pitch complete games. i said theyd go 7+. which they normally do. so..okay. fun.

The 2011 Phillies have the EXACT same record (38-26) after 64 games that the 2008 Phillies had.

Just saying...
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Sgt PSN on June 11, 2011, 01:11:46 PM
The difference though is that at no point before or during the 08 season were the Phils consensus WS favorites.  NL East favorites maybe but it still took a late season surge along with another Mets slump in September for the Phils to win the division and they just got hot and stayed hot through the WS.  It probably helped a little that their opponent in the WS was Tampa and not a savvy, veteran team like Boston or New York.  I don't say that to cheapen it like igy would, but these are still things that you can't dismiss.  The pieces fell into place for that team and they took advantage of it.  Kudos to them for that.  But that team definitely needed things to play out exactly as they did just to have a shot at the title. 

So comparing them to the 08 team at any point in the regular season is just silly.  If anything, the fact that this veteran team with the "deepest" starting rotation is no better through 64 games than the young(er), up and coming team of 2008 makes me a little uneasy.   

That said, this team will still be there in Oct.  But the pitching has to be there and the offense will have to get timely hits.

Post by: SD on June 11, 2011, 01:19:58 PM
In regards to how they're playing throughout the season who cares. The goal is to make it to the playoffs, every team has the talent to win the whole thing but the team that rises to the occasion at the right moments is the team that wins it all. Take the Giants of last season or the Phils in '08, nobody thought either team had enough talent to pull it off but both did. The difference for the Phillies that season compared to 08/09 is that they didn't get timely hitting like they did and the Giants did.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Rome on June 11, 2011, 03:23:35 PM
I'm just saying that even with the atrocious hitting they've had they're still identically positioned as in 2008.  This is a good baseball team and it has every chance to be great if they start hitting the ball.  I think they will, actually, because there's just too much talent for them not to hit all year long.

I'd still like another piece, though.  Too bad the farm system has no one ready yet especially from the right side.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: MDS on June 11, 2011, 03:42:14 PM
they dont have the pieces to get another player, or the money, and if not even sure 1 average right handed hitter is going to make a difference

the reason they cant score runs on a consistent basis isnt the fault of any one player. its the sum of the whole, so trading for mike cuddyer and benching ibanez or brown or whatever wont really change anything.

In regards to how they're playing throughout the season who cares.

Take the Giants of last season or the Phils in '08, nobody thought either team had enough talent to pull it off but both did. The difference for the Phillies that season compared to 08/09 is that they didn't get timely hitting like they did and the Giants did.

Good call SD and IGY.  99 wins, 100 wins, 105 wins, who gives a shtein.  Get to the dance and hope/pray it all starts clicking.  People who get pissed off that some of us vent and rant on and on don't get it that it's the fear/concern that we may see this again in the playoffs.  The greatest pitching staff ever assembled is only going to get them so far.

believe it or not LOB is a good stat

it means youre putting runners on base. that is good. good teams have a lot of LOBs because its logistically impossible to always produce with RISP. oh shtein no he di int.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: Sgt PSN on June 11, 2011, 09:44:45 PM
LOB is a good stat assuming that some of those runners are getting into scoring position and subsequently coming home. Doesn't do much good if you get 9 base runners in a game but they all get stranded at 1st.

I get what he means.....typically when teams score a lot of runs, they leave a lot of base runners because the odds of clearing the bases every time someone gets on are astronomically low even for a hot hitting team. 

It's somewhat flawed thinking because it's not a 2 way theory.  While scoring a lot of runs typically leads to leaving a lot of men on base, leaving a lot of men on base doesn't mean you're scoring a lot of runs. 

In short, avg w/RISP is usually where it's at. 
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (aka Fat Joe and the Terror Squad)
Post by: MDS on June 11, 2011, 09:52:59 PM
LOB is a good indicator that youre putting men on base and setting yourself up to score runs.

if you lead the league in the LOB and also lead the league in runs (something im guessing the phillies did or came close to doing back in the day), thats fine. LOBs are a part of scoring a lot of runs and having a good offense.

but if you somewhat exlusively dont score runs but leave a lot of runners on base, well, that wouldnt be good. obviously.

the phillies scored 7 runs today and also left a lot of men on base. fine. most of the time they score 2 runs and leave no one on base because they dont put anyone there.

Rather than argue, I think I'm going to defer to the little guy on this one.  If anyone knows about getting to 1st base but failing to score, it's him.

update:

phillies 2nd in NL in LOB
phillies 7th in NL in runs
phillies 6th in NL in avg. with runners in scoring position

so either the runs are coming or they have a significant RISP problem. we shall see. though their lack of power and speed certainly isnt help anything.

I don't know how specific baseball statistics get but I'm willing to bet the Phillies are the worst team (or close to being the worst) in the league at getting runners home from 2nd or 3rd with 0 or 1 out over the last 5 seasons.

I didn't say he was money his whole career.  He's been money this year except for one game and all of the sudden you Hoydas get bent out of shape over a foul ball. 

And yes, I seriously question the baseball knowledge in this thread.  The comments made a pretty embarrassing.

Agree with Sunny.  Madson has done a very good job this year.  If he blows 1 out of every 15 save opportunities then i don't think there's much to bitch about....unless it's the post season.

he has a point when people start shaking in their undies because the closer blew 1 save all year. its like every opinion YOU PEOPLE have is based on what happened the day before and thats it. the other 55 games are irrelevant.

also im going to need to see this quote in context. remember what happened with his funhole of a wife.

I saw it on Randy Miller's twitter feed - if you follow him you should be able to dig it up on there.

Madson is different this year. One blown save doesnt make a season, but I can see why people would be nervous because he has failed at that in the past. He shook off the blown save and got it done today. If he can continue to do it, good for him and even better for the Phillies

Doesn't make it any better, but he's got a ring. Not likely he'd say the same thing if he hadn't won one yet, or he could just be a tard. Either way, Madson is going to be in full on "pay me" mode. The All-Star thing just adds to it, for him, it probably is more important at this point. I give no farg if he continues to pitch like he had been.

QuoteRival evaluator says the Phillies are already looking at right-handed hitting outfielders. Speculation: Josh Willingham, Michael Cuddyer?

from a buster olney tweet.

willingham is barely an improvement over ibanez. he hits the same against rhp as he does against lhp. hes got a little pop but not enough to make me care.

cuddyer is solid but slow. he can play rf, lf, 3b, 2b and 1b. that helps. hes crushing lhp this year and career wise hits close to .300 against them. as a platoon with brown, splitting in for ibanez, polanco, utley...absolutely. he works.

but id prefer they go big and go get hunter pence and permanently move ibanez to the bench. rube has to have one last rape job of wade in him.

@ pg here is herndon since being called up in may:
vs. tex 1.2 IP, 0 er
vs. cin, 1 IP, 0 er
vs. cin, 2.1 IP, 0 er
vs. LA, 1 IP, 0 er
vs. chi, 2 IP, 0 er, r (three terrible defense plays caused the unearned run)
vs. fla, 2 IP, 0 er

so...not bad. hes one of the top five people fans bitch about for some reason but since getting himself in check hes been superb. but im sure the second he gives up a run J and his buddies will be screaming about how awful he is.

also last year he gave up runs 11 times in 47 games. madson gave up runs 10 times in 55 games. not a humungous difference especially considering madson is a reliable veteran reliever and herndon is a random rule 5 guy.

he got a bad rap last year because when he gave up runs he really gave up runs. but when youre the 7th man out of the pen youre going to have a long leash because youre going to be in lopsided games. so if you dont have it, youre not going to be pulled after a couple of batters like middle relievers are.

Howard fails to win only one thing: Fans' love
By Phil Sheridan
Inquirer Sports Columnist

More than any other sport, baseball can be explained by numbers. So here's a couple for you to consider:

1.28 million.

1.1 million.

The first is the number of all-star votes amassed, at last tally, by Chase Utley, who has appeared in just 19 games this season because of a knee injury.

The second is the number of all-star votes cast for Ryan Howard, who drove in his 54th and 55th runs of the season in his first at-bat Tuesday night.

Utley is third in voting among National League second basemen, Howard is fourth among first basemen, according to the latest tabulation released by Major League Baseball.

Let's be very clear. The point here isn't that Howard should be the starting first baseman in this year's All-Star Game. The three players ahead of him - Albert Pujols, Joey Votto and Prince Fielder - are all richly deserving of the votes they've gotten. Howard's numbers do not make a persuasive argument that he should be ahead of any of them. That is not the point here.

Besides, after carrying the Phillies for half a season, Howard would probably enjoy three days off more than a trip to Arizona in mid-July.

Utley certainly benefits from the dearth of talent at second base in the NL. Cincinnati's Brandon Phillips leads the voting, followed by Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks. It's hard to work up any real outrage that Utley, on rep, is outpolling, Aaron Miles of the Dodgers (.296, .646 OPS entering Tuesday's game) and Neil Walker of the Pirates (.252, .723).

The issue has nothing to do with how Howard and Utley are doing in relation to the rest of the NL. It's about Utley having nearly 200,000 more votes than Howard. Placido Polanco, who is tops among NL third basemen, has received nearly 700,000 more votes than Howard.

We can assume the Phillies enjoy a bump in fan voting because they play in front of a sellout crowd every single home game. With online voting, that may not be as big an advantage, but fans attending a game are still energized to grab a ballot and fill it out. They are also more likely to vote with their hearts than their minds.

So why would more Phillies fans vote for Utley, who has barely played, than Howard, the team's non-pitching MVP so far?

Now we're getting to the point, which is that Howard has inherited Donovan McNabb's old unwanted title of most underappreciated athlete in the city. Or maybe a better way to put it is that, more than anyone else, fans tend to dwell on what he doesn't do rather than celebrate him for what he does.

That may be a Philadelphia fan thing. It may be a sports fan thing. It may just be human nature in general. But the balance is always completely out of whack for a certain lucky player or two at a given time. Eagles fans had McNabb (and now dwell more on Asante Samuel's tackling deficiencies than his ball skills). Flyers fans are more concerned with Mike Richards' iffy captain credentials than his gutsy game. Sixers fans have Andre Iguodala.

Is Howard perfect? Hardly. No more than McNabb ever was. The Yankees did a superb job of pitching to him in the 2009 World Series and he struck out a ridiculous 13 times. And yes, the 2010 NL Championship Series ended with Howard taking a called third strike. Not a great moment.

But why were the Phillies in those series? How did this become one of the truly elite franchises in baseball over the last few years? There have been a bunch of very good players, to be sure. Ryan Howard is the most important.

Going into Tuesday's rain-delayed game, Howard had appeared in 940 regular-season games in his career. The Phillies' winning percentage was .563 in those games. That's higher than Utley (.555) and Jimmy Rollins (.540). It's higher than Mike Schmidt (.525) and Larry Bowa (.515) and Pete Rose (.542 as a Phillie). It's higher than Ted Williams (.546) and Barry Bonds (.538).

Babe Ruth? His career winning percentage was higher.

The 2011 Phillies are winning largely because of their remarkable pitching. No one disputes that. But with no Utley for more than two months, and with Rollins and Shane Victorino out, the Phillies have held on to first place. Howard's batting average is mediocre, his home run numbers are down. There are plenty of numbers available to illustrate what Howard isn't, or what he doesn't do well.

But he has stood in the middle of that lineup and produced runs all season. He always has. Since he's been in the major leagues, Howard has driven in runs and the Phillies have been a contending team. They even became a championship team.

Forget the numbers. Howard wins. Except in the fan voting, but that says more about the voters than about him.


i wish i could get the video and post it because no one will believe me and even if they did you had to see it to truly get the amazingness of it but last night after choke hit his homer as he was coming back to the dugout there was a area of people in the first couple rows behind the dugout that not only were not standing OR cheering for choke but they werent even looking at him...they were talking to each other or some shtein...i couldnt believe it...they didnt show a good shot of GRIT going to the dugout after his homer but i guarantee everyone was up...someone find this video

It's a shame, because he's not even a fleshpophead like Schmidt was. I don't get the Howard hate. It's like every time I even attempt to listen to any sports radio in this town, there are so many callers that are calling for him to be dealt...or hating on him in some fashion.

The guy is a nice, personable dude....who is knocking in a shtein ton of runs for this team. I just dont' get it.

Zimmerman and Wright being hurt helped Polanco a lot.  Takes down the name recognition from NL 3rd basemen.  Pujols/Votto/etc means there will be some Phillies fans who are legitimately trying to vote for the "best" player who vote for Polanco but not Howard.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: ice grillin you on June 15, 2011, 12:10:53 PM
none of that remotely explains it

polanco has 700,000 more votes than choke because mets and nationals fans switched their vote to polanco?

half the fans in the league dont even know what position polanco plays until they see a ballot....he is getting all his votes form philadelphia

and wright has played double the amount of games as GRIT...so im not sure how injury plays into this

bottom line is phils fans are stuffing the ballott for GRIT and polanco but not for choke

cause he strikes out too much. people despise strikeouts for some reason, even though they are pretty much just outs. the black thing is a minor part of it because hes not ghetto black like AI which drove an untold amount of people to hate him. howard is good, safe, will smith, wayne brady black. not really the issue.

also lets not sugercoat howard's year. homers are there but his avg and obp are not. his rbi's are a byproduct of having runners on base basically every time he steps up to the plate. of course hes going to knock in 120 runs.

he and utley were also horrendous in the nlcs last year and im still not entirely over that.

could florida have been better medicine going to the west coast then following that up with two of the next three series against arguably the two other best teams in baseball

the st louis and especially the boston series are going to be incredible

The love for Schmidt came after he retired.  Guy was a prick while playing.  I loved him as a player back in the day.  Howard got so much shtein for that last at bat against the Giants in the NLCS but Schmidt had a horrendous World Series in 1983 against the Orioles.  It was horrible.  He caught a lot of grief for it.

Screw those boneheads in the front row at the park.  All they give a shtein about is gossiping away, being on tv and calling half the free world to tell them "Hey look at me!  I'm sitting behind the Phils dugout.  I'll stand up and wave."

It's not often that the little guy makes sense, but when he does he's right on it. 

The Phils have the best record in baseball.  The bats are starting to wake up.  The bull pen has been solid and Madson has been better than anyone expected in the closer role.  So let's bitch about Kyle Kendrick because he's an average pitcher after he goes out and pitches a solid game.  Yeah, that makes sense.

because your a phillies fan you think you automatically gotta hate your local announcers when they play them....thats natural....as i said they arent very good announcers but there are a ton worse and they dont even come close to having to be muted

Why is this even an argument.  Geo & I are forced to listen to these assclowns a minimum of 18 times a season.  You watch them, what, once or twice if you're in Florida?

THEY ARE AWFUL.

Their broadcasts are amateurish to the point of embarrassment.  I mean, Miami is a major city and they have guys who'd be better off announcing girls high school field hockey in Brownsville (no offense).

no i listen to them probably 10-12 times a year....but im sure they are completely different guys in the five or six times you hear them and i dont

Yeah, he's still there.  Mainly, he's just a shill for the Marlins, but somehow has seemed to develop a hatred for the Phils.  Maybe those twins he and Dick Ruthven shared poisoned his psyche.

you clearly didnt watch last nights game...it was a three hour informercial promoting the phillies their fans and the city

OH MY GOSH HE TALKED ABOUT CHEESESTEAKS!  I've been stuck listening to these guys every time the Phils play the Marlins, as the Phils' feed gets blacked out whenever the Phils play the Marlins.   I actually mute the sounds sometimes.  The only ones worse than these guys were the Braves under Pete Van Wieren and Skip Caray.

because your a phillies fan you think you automatically gotta hate your local announcers when they play them....thats natural....as i said they arent very good announcers but there are a ton worse and they dont even come close to having to be muted

the fact that you wont mute the tv when the phils announcers are on but you will the marlins or braves says everything

I generally try to catch at least one game with the opposing announcers every series.  Love the Mets announcers... Brenly is very good.  Hutton and the other Schmuck that does the Marlins suck.

holy shtein i was gonna type that but didnt even know how to explain it...hes beyond this world

did you hear him earlier in the game on the run where the marlins just missed getting jimmy at home wheels trying to say that the cut off guy was overthrown by morrison when the marlins had two cut off men one after another...it clearly wasnt an overthrow...it was just that morrison hit the 3rd basemen on the throw as he was closer to home...it was a actually a perfect thtow

wheels tried to get out of it by saying well if the closer man (ie the guy FARTHER away from home) catches it maybe his throw is better (the throw was fine jimmy just made a nice slight) and they get jimmy...he then babbled for another few seconds and says "anyway" and moved on..

It only bothers us because it's our local guys.

clearly....if you listen to wheels yet turn someone else off its obviously a bias thing...plus weve all heard the florida announcers a hundred times...they are sub standard but hardley noteworthy bad...its not coincidence that the two people from florida have a pathological hate of them

Whoever said I didn't turn Wheels off from time to time?  I get the Phils' radio guys on my phone.  Takes a little work to psynch up, but it can be done.

Wheels sucks, but the Marlins guys suck more.  Not because they are "local," but because they suck.

The Marlins's post-game show does have the air of a poilitical assassination.  Hushed tones, the announcers looking downward, drawn faces.

while i am at it kruk also has no business being on the phils wall of fame

werth? - lol
victorino? - no
halladay? - pretty much lee but with a slighty lower threshold
lidge? - no

thats how i see it...but with who has already made it i dont see how most dont get in...problem is they should have had a much higher standard to begin with...tho to be fair the franchises history is so god awful that their all time greats arent that all time great

Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: Geowhizzer on June 17, 2011, 11:00:08 AM
Definite
Rollins - One of top Phils in history.
Utley - WFC adds "philly lore" to already solid to great career numbers for 2B
Howard - 2nd in HR (doubt he tops Schmidt at this point)

Almost Definite
Hamels - Legendary 2008 postseason; will become definite if he can keep up his recent success
Ruiz - Fan favorite, one of top catchers in Phils history (Boone, Dutch... Seminick?)

Needs More
Halladay - Obviously just with the Phils - and this will quickly move into the definite IMO
Lee - Needs to accomplish something with the Phils
Victorino - Just not sure if he has enough;

Borderline
Lidge - Is one magical season enough?
Werth - Has a couple outstanding seasons, but not much longevity.

Hamels is definitely in.  Lidge should be out.  Werth, out.  Victorino might make it but he needs another 3 years or so.

Rollins/Howard/Utley/Hamels.  I think Halladay will make it.  Lee hasn't even been with a team for a season yet.  A bit early to even throw his name in there.  Ruiz is the real toss up to me.  Fan favorite and, as Geo said, one of the best Phillies at his position of all-time (though that isn't saying much).

For the group between '94 and '07, I think Lieberthal is a stone cold lock, Abreu is 50/50 and Morandini and Glanville might get a little consideration.  '08-present, I think Burrell, Rollins, Utley and Howard are locks, and Hamels will join them if he's a Phillie for another 5 years.

Post by: MDS on June 17, 2011, 01:11:07 PM
if lieberthal is a lock then chooch is getting in first ballot

they have to put someone in every year and obviously just put the likes of samuel and kruk in so after they are done with jimmy, chazz, howard, burrell, etc., ruiz and even victorino are going to look like good choices. also lidge will get in. tug mcgraw got in for one pitch, so will lidge.

the bigger question is will wheeler get in. the phillies are well aware everyone hates him but hes been announcing for like 40 years and normally that should be enough.

For the group between '94 and '07, I think Lieberthal is a stone cold lock, Abreu is 50/50 and Morandini and Glanville might get a little consideration.  '08-present, I think Burrell, Rollins, Utley and Howard are locks, and Hamels will join them if he's a Phillie for another 5 years.

I would think Burrell is in the 94-07 group, not the 08+ group.

Of the 94 to 07 group, the picking is slim...

Burrell is in
Wolf is in

There's a few
Leiberthal
Abreu
Millwood
Glanville
Rolen (despite the hate)

The fact that any of you would prefer Curt Schilling to Kruk under any circumstances in something as trivial as this is what's truly hilarious.

Would I rather have Schilling starting Game 7 of the Series than Kruk starting at first?  Of course.

But Schilling is a piece of crap and Kruk is a great guy who loved the team, the city and the fans.  Kruk please.  Let Schilling be placed on the Orioles, D-Backs, or Red Sox WOF.

millwood wolf and glanville all have zero chance of getting in

leiberthal has a miniscule chance just because he played for so long but wont make it

if schilling cant get in then rolen wont

burrell is in but shouldnt be

abreu probably would be in if it wasnt for so many guys on the current team that have to make it

Of course he was.  How many professional athletes (and I used that term loosely in his case) aren't?

He's not now, though.  And he still wears his Phillies pride on his shoulder whereas Schilling despises everything about Philly including and especially the fans.

Seriously, this is a no-brainer.  How anyone could want anything to do with Schilling is beyond me.

where i hate him is how much he loves boston...i have a major problem with that and cant wrap the idea of loving philly and boston...hes kind of like roenick in that he sucks off philly but crys when chicago beats them in the finals....both guys know how to play both sides of the fence beautifully...schilling also gets a knock against him for being a big george bush fan...

schilling/lieberthal - probably not
werth/lidge/glanville/rolen/millwood - hahahahaha

what about polanco?  if he continues to hit at or around .300 with gold glove fielding for another 2-3 years (probably asking alot based on his age) i think he gets a nod.

you only like kruk because he had a mullet, drank a lot was a fat. when he was here he couldnt have given two shteins about you or anyone for that matter. that entire team was a bunch of roided up dickholes who caught fire for some reason had a once in a generation type season. without 1993 no one gives a shtein about kruk, he might as well be greg jefferies.

the kruk love also comes from the philly cock slobbering he does on espn and the radio which im not going to deny is awesome but it has nothing to do him as a phillie.

schilling had i think three 300 strikeout seasons and was cash money in the playoffs. yea hes a pub and yea he wears out his welcome everywhere he goes but he was actually a really good player.

its the same reason everyone loves matt stairs. oh the fat guy with the beer who looks like me did something good in a sport rah rah rah rah

From Angelo Cataldi...

QuoteAs soon as I wipe away the tears, I'll try the impossible here and give a more accurate portrait of the most self-serving, selfish, self-absorbed player in baseball history.

Just one question, Glen: Is that your speech for when Curt Schilling is inducted into the Hall of Fame, or are you aiming higher now and shooting for his sainthood?

Yes, I did have a chance to get to know Schilling through our old TV show, and yes, I did pet his dogs and he did score a couple of goals against me in street hockey. I enjoyed all of that. I also have talked to his wife Shonda many times, and she is a fantastic person.

I'll add something that was even more important to me and my career. At a time when no one from the Phillies would ever call WIP, Schilling called us every morning, win or lose, in the latter stages of the 1993 run. There were days when he would be waiting on the phone as we came on the air at 6 a.m.!

All of which should tell you something, Glen: If I don't like a guy after all of that, there must be a reason. And I have more reasons than space here will allow. So I'll just go through a few of the major ones.

Curt Schilling was all about himself from the day he arrived in Philadelphia. Everyone in the Phillies organization, from the top reaches of the front office to the lowly batboys, could not stand Schilling. They knew, right at the beginning, that he was selfish. They knew that his lip service about the fortunes of the team was just that. He didn't give a damn about the Phillies, or about winning.

Remember the towel-draping act in the ninth inning of games he pitched in '93, Glen? Let's analyze that for a minute. Here was a young pitcher openly showing up a teammate, Mitch Williams, and distancing himself from the possibility of failure.

The towel over the head was saying to the fans: "Hey, if we lose this, don't blame me. I'm not any more comfortable with this guy on the mound than you are."

Macho Row hated Schilling for that unprofessional, grandstanding tradition, and Curt knew it. But he didn't stop because it got him some face time (or, in this case, towel time) on TV. Even back then, it was all about Schilling.

His final years in Philadelphia were among the ugliest in the history of our sports town, Glen. You know that. The diatribes about commitment to winning, the trade demands, the media wars (with me, among others) . . . they were all just an updated version of the towel-draping. Again, he was distancing himself from failure. If the team lost, it was the owners and front office, not Curt. Never Curt.

He won a world championship in Arizona, although people may forget that he left the seventh game of the 2001 World Series losing 2-1 because he gave up a huge home run to Alfonso Soriano in the eighth inning. The Diamondbacks won long after Curt had left the mound. But this was one time when he did not distance himself from the team. Oh, no. There was no towel draped over his head when Luis Gonzalez blooped the game-winner. As I recall, Curt was one of the first Arizona players on the field. More precious face time.

Now Schilling is a member of the Boston Red Sox, after more open politicking for a trade once Arizona stopped winning. He milked those contract negotiations right through the Thanksgiving holiday in 2003. In the end, he got a huge contract and vowed to end the curse of the Bambino. Who was going to mention that a week earlier he had waived his no-trade clause because he was going to join Boston's evil rivals, the New York Yankees? Not you, Glen.

A few weeks into the 2004 season, Schilling told his teammates that they should take less money to stay in Boston. Lots of them were in the final year of their contracts, and he said they should stop worrying so much about money.

Hey, he got his. Screw them.

Curt Schilling is the biggest phony I've ever witnessed in 30 years of covering and talking about sports. Even your heartwarming story about the sick woman leaves me cold, Glen. I know better.

I guarantee you – absolutely guarantee – there was a TV camera somewhere nearby, recording this act of sentiment. The fact that you were watching, ready to broadcast this latest example of his greatness, cannot be discounted either.

Even that story wasn't really about the woman, Glen.

It was about Curt Schilling.

It's always about Curt Schilling
.

He's a phony dickhead gloryhound.  Always has been and always will be.

Add to the fact he's a right-wing icehole, and he can pretty much eat shtein piled a mile high.

farg him to hell.

MDS - each day your slip further into retardation.

I liked Schilling too and believe he should be in the WOF.

But in 1991 when Kruk came to town I was 11. After his stints in the OF he played 1B, the same position I played and would play for a long time so I paid attention more to the Phillies 1B.

I wore #17 because of Ricky Jordan.

And lol at Rome citing Angelo farging Cataldi as evidence. Seriously?!?

i know more about baseball than you two camel jockeys put together. everything i said about this team has come true. i wasnt busting veins over random, totally forgettable may losses. i wasnt singing the praises of a team that is now 300 games back of first.

also i had the same boyhood crush J had on kruk but here i am at 24 well aware that he was an ok phillie but an all around repugnant twat when he was here. so was schilling but he was a front line SP for like six years and actually did something memorable besides get cancer, be fat, drink and do something funny in an all-star game.

also i think hanover mentioned this but that 93 team has had some serious revisionist history done to them. talk about putting Hoyda on a pedestal.

one of my big sports regrets is not having seen ichiro play more...i still cant get over 10 straight years of 200+ hits

Did you hear the knuckleheads on CSN mention that he has over 3,000 hits (MLB & Japan)?  shtein.  Wasn't he like the second or third fastest player to reach 2,000 hits in mlb history?

yeah over 3600...he has ten season of 200+ hits...in the phillies organizational history (almost a 130 years) they have a total of 30

the sick part about ichiro is that hes played ten years and never had a sub 200 hit season...like not even one year did he sneak in a 198 hit season or some shtein...thats outrageous...tho this year he wont make the mark

also his 262 mark is the all time record for most hts in a season...and i mean all time even going back to the 1800;s and early 1900's

the fact alone that the phillies were going to win their division and automatically be the best team in the NL since like december shows how weak the nl is...no one should win anything that easily

will any of the matter if they make the world series? NO

now im not saying you sound like this guy, but this is what im talking about when i say phillies fans are over reactive red sox spoiled bitches

QuoteBad loss to a VERY mediocre American League team...which I guess is no surprise given the Phils pathetic efforts against American League teams the last few years. And they could easily lose the series with King Felix going against Worley tonight. No excuse for losing games like this against opponents like this. Weak effor by Oswalt and pathetic effort by the offense. I know, hard to get upset given the record and how they've been playing, but these clueless efforts against American League teams...especially the weak ones...has got to stop!

i dont find that overreactive at all

he said they "could" lose this series...thats ubelievably generous to me because they are already down 0-1 and i will tell you right now it would take a miracle to win tomorrow

if he was overreative he would have said they are definitely getting swept this series...in fact id say hes close to a homer for saying they could lose the series as if going into it he thought they were a lock to win it....before the series started they were less than 50-50 to win it simply because of the piching matchups

Post by: MDS on June 18, 2011, 02:15:03 AM
so what if they lose the series? this happens to be a set where the pitching matchups arent in their favor.

@ stl next week they miss garcia and will have halladay and lee going. then vs. a bad oakland team theyll have halladay and hamels. they could easily go 7-2 and 6-3 in this 9 game stretch until the sox series. now does it really matter where the 2 or 3 losses are coming from?

first off no. second off they have good pitching. in fact they will have the pitching advantage in nearly every playoff game they have. ill take my chances with halladay, hamels and lee in 6 of the 7 games. plus having that oswalt dude to go against their 4th starter in 1 game aint bad, either.

but its nice that youve moved on from 'they wont make the playoffs' to 'theyll lose in the playoffs.'

Pretty sure this is Oswalt's last hoorah. There's been rumblings that he might be done after this season. I won't fault the Phillies for not picking up his option next season if he does decide to pitch. He's not worth $16 million. Injuries and the situation with his family might be playing a factor but it won't surprise me to see him turn it on again down the stretch.

It is true. Since the beginning of interleague play:

Interleague record does not predict WS win.

Is the AL the better, deeper league? Absolutely. Does that mean that the best AL team is better than the best NL team? Not since the beginning of interleague play it hasn't.

In fact, the reason the AL has more World Series wins historically than the NL isn't due to how good the league is, either. It's due to the existence of one aberrant team -- the New York Yankees -- in the American League. This team has been making far more money on local media contracts than other teams since at least the 1940s. If you plop the Yankees into the NL, the AL is still the better league, but the NL would have far more World Series wins.

I actually fully expected a loss last night.  I fully expect a win tonight because the Phils have adjusted to the time difference, Seattle has great coffee & strip joints, and because Cole is pitching.

Fully.

Worley goes tonight.  Hamels tomorrow.

Post by: MDS on June 18, 2011, 11:37:53 PM
im not comparing, im just saying hes getting a bit of a free pass and is hitting like .200 now. one thing for him to be fooled by king, another for marlins slop and cubs second rate talent to school him.

ben frank could want it any less but his obp is sick for someone hitting .210

you are missing the point...a player with no real expectations doesnt get judged like that...free passes apply to veterans only

you hope HOF learns this year and becomes a player next year but theres a very real chance he never becomes anything and there was zero chance he was going to contribute this year

and really ibanez hasnt even gotten killed...it more or less has been yup we know hes done...lets try and get by with him because there are no other options

they talked this kid up and made him out to be the next one

im not expecting .300/30/100 but aside from one random hot streak hes been terrible. im not advocating they take him out the lineup, it just something worth mentioning. howard and utley werent this bad when they first came up, by the way.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: ice grillin you on June 18, 2011, 11:51:10 PM
i mean he probably should be out of the lineup and he isnt ready for the show yet but what is the other option...ben frank?...id rather HOF be getting ML at bats and learning...the problem is that thats fine for now when nothing matters but this kid is going to be completely embarrassed come the playoffs...at that point the better option would probably be the veteran in francisco...if a deal for a corner OF isnt made before then

but the notion that HOF could somehow be getting a free pass this year is retarded

all im saying is people have been all over him since day 1 and while its all well and good...look at heyward. not exactly lighting up the world these days. before we crown these pups we might want to wait to see if they know how to handle.

if hes still hitting .220 in sept and penciled into start in the playoffs its a problem. in fact i dont scare the but the sight of brown in rf in game 7 of the world series in fenway doesnt give me that warm cuddly feeling.

once he started showing his colors in the game everyone quickly realized that he was a ryan leaf-level bust but before that his stock was as high as anyones.

every once in awhile ill get bumped off and sometimes the internet i steal acts up but generally it works ok. what they need to do is offer 1 package that gets you both tv and internet. cause right now the tv is handled through in demand and internet is mlb.

the ones who are like were gonna do our thing and theyre gonna have to stop it and were ready bring it, they win. cause they expect it.

if you sit there and start counting losses before they happen, guess what, you gonna lose. but if you step up and be like im gonna take on king and beat him, you just might come through. and thats how i roll. i aint scared of no king, no cardinal, rockie, red sox motherfarger.

ill be the first to admit that im the ultimate pessimist because of the era i grew up in....you dont share this with me....you have lived with for the most part positivity....but to me i still cant believe the phillies won in 08...much less that they are going to win a SECOND title this year...thats unfathomable to me...so i lean negative...but that doesnt change the fact that i think they will be upset in the playoffs because of their hitting and not because i believe in a destiny a fate or an aura

Hey they farging beat "The King", Worley did just fine, bullpen did a great job and pineapple head went off.  All is well. 

We have to be happy with a 6 game lead right now. 

Hudson going down is going to be devastating to Atlanta.  Just hope the Mets don't trade Reyes to a NL contender.

lol @ making playoff predictions now. enjoy the regular season and when we get to nlds we'll get to nlds. and if they lose there heads will roll. but that aint for 4 months so why even think on it.

and i grew up on the 90s phils, eagles and sixers. not a pretty sight. and i couldnt believe the phillies won, out of all the teams. the same squad that pimped chad ogea as a big FA signing and the same one that was trying to win a division title with robert person and david coggin the rotation.  im just not a little kid anymore and not afraid of losing or failure. ive done it enough to know it aint the end of the world. so farg it lets go get this bitch.

oh but if theres something you really want to get nervous about its the all star game. thats seriously the biggest from here to game 1 nlds. NL has to win to move the extra world series game to philly. that essentially removes ortiz from the lineup for 4 games which is just massive.

it might, it might not. but its an advantage for the phils and disadvantage for the sox. its really the biggest thing they can do the give them an edge.

also just dont slobber over the sox yet. first off randy wolf shut them down tonight. second off outside of lester and beckett their rotation is suspect. buchholz's back is fried, wakefield is 800, lackey blows. the middle games those guys cant pitch where the phils are firing lee and oswalt could be the difference. aint no reason to think oh they wont score bla bla bla. just enjoy this right now son.

you dont really wanna go down the line of pitchers over the last three years that have shut the phillies offense down

IGY, your logic makes ZERO sense. I am pretty sure I'm older than you. I'm also pretty sure I have been watching/following Phils baseball since I was 2-3 years old with my dad when he started taking me to games. I started understanding it around 5-6 when my godfather (who was my dad's biz partner and an ex-college player) started teaching me baseball.

I've lived through the shtein too yet I don't even come close to being where you are (or Jay for that matter) where every small slump, every mistake, every bad game = end of the season and no chance to win a WS. I'm not a homer in the least, but I know what we have here and appreciate it because it is rare and amazing and if you can't stop and enjoy it, you're an idiot. Or you're just an attention whore who wants to whine and bitch like a PMSed out chick because the team lost a game or 2 in a row.

It's BECAUSE of the terrible seasons we've had to watch in the past that puts me in this mindset.

Once you realize that igy is the way he is because negativity is his defense mechanism you'll begin to understand that no amount of rational will get through to him. I was the same way in my early teens, so I understand where he's coming from. I don't even bother sifting through posts where him and mds go back and forth, it's consistently the same argument and Todd will never be able to comprehend the way he thinks because he's never thought that way. igy was conditioned to be the way he is through years of heartache. People our age understand it because we had shtein for teams growing up sprinkled with some greatness in between. Now that we have a good team to watch on a consistent basis it's enjoyable but we've had so few championships that the only thing that will quench our thirst is another championship. Stretches like these have been far and few for Phillies fans. I find myself worrying about the future of the team but always try to appreciate the present. As long as fan support remain high they should be able to field a consistent winner.

Its why the Reid era Eagles are such a tragic tale. All that winning and talent and they couldn't win it all even once. I enjoyed the run but now that I look back at it I shake my head in disbelief that they came so close but couldn't win it all just once.

If the Eagles had pulled out one Super Bowl season none of us would be as hateful and jaded toward them as we are.

They'd be like the Phillies who basically saved our collective sanity by winning it all in '08.  That group will always be the GOAT to me.

If they had won one we'd of wanted more and since those teams were consistently close to the SB...one would not have been good enough especially coming off some pretty rough Kotite/Rhodes years. The tragedy of those teams is that they couldn't win even one. Missed opportunities after so many years of heartache makes for even more heartache.

Of course we'd want more just like we want the Phillies to win more.

My point was if we had won at least one there'd be a lot less angst and outright hatred of the team, especially the management and Reid.

Not from everyone, mind you.  There would still be people who are off the reservation crazy who would hate them regardless.

first of all no one is saying they wont win the world series because of a game or slump in june...i dont think they will win the world series because i dont think they are the best team in the majors

theres nothing rare or amazing about what the phillies are doing right now...win a second title and they are in that conversation..otherwise what are they doing thats so incredible..its enjoyable and i love that they are good instead of bad but if they dont win a second world series with this group then its utter failure...its not well golly gee they gave me so many good times...remember those nights hangin out in ashburn alley eating a schmitter...ahhhh the golden years....

farg that shtein

and at 5 or 6 the extent of baseball you knew was not hitting the ball off a tee anymore...you knew jack shtein about the phillies and most importantly at that age you didnt care if they won or lost and thats goes for all of us...you dont get fully invested in pro sports till around 10 years old

I thought they were smarter than this in Starbuckville.  You're right, every hit ball that is clearly foul or dribbles to an infielder they go nuts.  My buddy who had season tickets to the Rockies their inaugural year said he couldn't take it at Coors.  Crowd would go crazy on a foul tip.

According to Buster Olney, the Phillies have inquired about Twins OF Michael Cuddyer and A's OF Josh Willingham. Who would you rather have in a Phillies uniform?


Another topic I'd like to throw out there: What is Rollins worth? I've heard some reports that he wants $13 million, and if that's the case I hope the Phillies pass. I'd love to keep Rollins as he's one of my all time favorite Phillies and there ain't shtein else out there, but what other team is going to give him that kind of money? He's not even going to be the top SS on the market. People say he wants to go back to play in Oakland but there ain't no farging way they're shelling out that kind of money.

I wouldn't go more than 3/$33M on him at this point, but they're screwed if he walks.  Reyes is gonna get $100M+ so he's out, Furcal isn't the player he used to be, and the rest of the FAs aren't anything great (J.J. Hardy, Edgar Renteria, Miguel Tejada, Alex Gonzalez, Nick Punto, Jack Wilson)

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on June 20, 2011, 01:26:56 AM
3yrs $33M is fair; maybe even 3yrs $36M. They have to keep him. Not only for baseball reasons but for clubhouse reasons too.

As far as Cuddyer vs Willingham -- I'd go Cuddyer because of his versatility.

Post by: MDS on June 21, 2011, 09:28:55 PM
they looked good last week, drama queen

this is just another bad stretch, which is going to happen when you have as old and as untalented a lineup as they have.

the thing i can say is in the playoffs because of days off and what not a lot of the averages and "runs" that are atypical baseball become irrelevant.

oh dear, no

you werent saying anything last week is what i mean. they werent the worst offense of all time then. but now since the last 2 games have been bad i guess they are.

im not  making excuses for it...check out 3 seconds ago when i called polanco/ibanez a black hole. its just your over the top hyperbole is ridiculous.

seattle series is the perfect example of what is going to happen in the playoffs...and its not much different than what you saw against the giants last year....the phils are going to face a team that on paper is seemingly worse than them but the opponenet is going to have good pitching that shuts the phils down and their hitters will come up with the hits when they need them and/or they will be able to scratch out some runs which is something the phils cant do and before you know it the phils will be on vacation

not that they should have gone to anyone else but you can only dip into the well so much with a reliever before hes gonna get got...its part of the game.

saw the replay of the phils run, i have no clue how ibanez beat that. ruiz should have seen where the ball was and where the SS was standing and held up between 2nd and 3rd. he ran literally right into that. right play to make the turn but you gotta look at the angle and where the ball is heading.

The Phillies five-hole has produced a .208/.295/.319 in 2011. Their .614 OPS is 119 points lower than the league average fifth batter.

theres no question that the phillies made the right move in letting werth walk...there was no justifiable way they could have given him the deal he got...but at the same time you also have to say that they would be a better team this year with jayson werth and without cliff lee

QuoteCardinals manager Tony La Russa pulled Miller against lefthanded-hitting slugger Ryan Howard, who owns a .364 lifetime average against Miller. La Russa said that more than that he was factoring in the numbers that said Howard was hitting higher against lefthanders than righthanders (.267 to .250) and that even if Miller had struck out Utley, he was going to make the change.

brilliant

also that sky last night was pretty cool

even though hes just causing problems to cause problems its not a ridiculous thing to say.

the real answer will come in the playoffs. if lee pulls the same kind of thing hes done in the past 2 years then all theyd need is 1-2 runs to win, which youd like to think they could get without werth.

but on paper a good No. 5 right handed hitter is probably more important than what was determined to be a fourth ace going into the season. as it turned out they have 3 aces, oswalt and worley.

They have the best record in baseball, that's why it's ridiculous.  Subtract Lee and add Werth and you still probably have a similar record except now they are putting up a few more runs while giving up a few more as well.  In the end, it probably balances out and the only difference is that the games are a little more watchable due to a few more home runs.

its impossible to say how werth would do if he was here, though. hes always been a streaky guy, but hitting behind howard and without the 'pressure' of being the bmoc he could presumably do better.

its a good what if debate. and when we get to the playoffs and it comes down to josh willingham or polanco instead of werth or it comes down to cliff lee, not vance worley, then we might have an answer.

even the homerrific lil guy knows its a legitimate argument

I've spent more time on the crapper than the little guy has seen baseball.  I'm not minimizing the value of the 5 hole but you are either putting a little too much stock into in or maybe into Werth.  Or both. 

This year, the Phils are averaging 4.1 runs/game.  From 2008-10 (with Werth as an every day player) they averaged 4.9.  So there is a significant drop off.  Meanwhile, Phillies pitching has an ERA of 3.02 so far this year but had an average ERA of 3.97 from 2008-2010, which means they are giving up .95 less runs per game.  So the loss of Werth and addition of Lee, appears to still slightly favor the current roster.   

This doesn't mean that I think the Phils are just fine as they are right now, because there is definitely room for improvement in the lineup and the Phils need to do something to bring in a legit bat to hit behind Howard.  But at the same time, you're acting like Werth took half of the Phils' offensive production with him to DC and that his presence was some sort of magic elixor that made everything gel on offense when in fact, they've been a feast or famine offense for the better part of the last 7 years....with and without Werth.  You should be used to it by now dook.

god i hate polanco in the five hole....phils are in a bit of a quandry since they have two perfect two hole hitters who dont do much anywhere else...altho polanco is epically bad anywhere else in the lineup hitting like .220...brain deads numbers regress but not to that extent

i wonder if going off the board a little bit and putting polanco at 2 francisco at five and brain dead at 6 would work at all...that way polanco is home where he belongs and ben frank gets sandwiched btwn choke and brain dead....how can he not succeed at least a little bit in that spot

If/When Lidge comes back, I think he should have to earn the closer role back.  Use him sparringly at first, maybe to face a batter or 2 and then try and work him into the set up role.  If by chance he were to have his nasty stuff again, then you've got a nice problem in having 2 guys who can close.

it sounds like the guy is done. i was literally just talking about this with my friend last night that i was worried he was still hurt.  it was too early for his dead arm period.. and you don't just drop 4-5 mph on your fastball overnight for no reason.  if he doesn't have that velocity for that fastball then that's pretty much the ballgame for him.  it's a shame for someone who was probably their best pitcher early in the year.  hopefully he's good in time for the playoff run.. but i don't think he's back next year.

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on June 24, 2011, 12:11:11 AM
QuoteStill have a story to write, but here is a quick transcription of Roy Oswalt's comments to the media tonight.

He said an MRI a year or two ago revealed two degenerative discs. He doesn't think it has gotten to the point where they are bulging. He doubts he will make his next start. He has an MRI scheduled for Monday, and they'll compare that MRI to the previous one.

This isn't something that a shot will fix. Oswalt said he has already had a lot of shots, and any more there is a risk of "stuff breaking off."

"At this point, I'm not really helping the team," he said. "I'm more of a liability more than anything. See where I'm at, and if it is something i have to get fixed, I have to get it fixed. Just see where it's at. I don't know."

Hard to leave tonight's game?

"I really wasn't productive," he said. "I was more heaving the ball than throwing the ball. Tried to get out of a jam. Had one guy strike out, and couldn't get the ball far enough in on Theriot. See what it looks like Monday. I don't think it's doing no good to keep going out there and not really doing too much, going six innings at a time. I tried to stay in there as long as I could, but you can only pitch if you don't have any pain.

Is surgery an option?

"I don't know. It hasn't gotten to the point where it has bulged yet, I don't think. Hopefully not. That's doctor stuff. They know more about it than I do. Just see where I'm at."

Take a cortisone shot?

"You only get so many shots. After you get so many of them, stuff starts breaking off, so, I don't want that to happen."

Is he frightened about his career?

"Just like I said before, you throw as long as you can throw, and when you can't throw no more, you can't throw no more. I'm going to keep throwing as long as I can, and hopefully it's not gotten to the point where I can't throw no more. But if it's gotten to that point, you just have to accept it."

When does he feel it?

"I feel it when I sit down and I stand up, when I walk, pitch, sleep."

Does he think about what this means for his career?

"I've had a pretty good one (laughs). I don't know. I'm going to do what's best for the team. If I can't pitch, I can't pitch. I'm not going to keep going out there and being a liability for the bullpen to pick me up. If it's gotten to that point, it's gotten to that point. We'll just see what the doctor says on the MRI and go from there."

And, finally, somebody asked him why he continued to pitch through the pain if it hurts him at all times.

Oswalt thought for a second, then said, "I don't want to be labelled as a quitter."

Back problems are no good for anyone, but for a little guy who is a drop and drive pitcher its devastating.

He sounds resigned to the fact that he's done. Shelf him and hope you can eek some quality starts out of him in crunch time down the stretch.

Love the last line.

No doubt.  Werth is better in every aspect of the game so he's probably just looking at 2011 stats and making the comparison there (if he even bothered to do that).  But even with that, Werth's defense alone makes him a far superior player to Francisco.

Your reference to Haleiwa makes me want to get into the car and drive out to the North Shore, get a quick session in, buy a shave ice, pick up a 12 pack at Foodland Pupukea, head over to Turtle Bay and grab a bite to eat at Leilei's.  Best ribs in town.

This whole blackout thing is a joke with the Giants and A's.  This is huge Giants country and people have been bitching to mlb.tv, mlb and the Giants FO for several years.  Once again it's the whole Time Warner crap (see NFL Network fiasco):

QuoteIt works like this: MLB teams declare a "home television territory" which need not have any relevance to actual geographic proximity. Which is why six teams — the Giants, A's, Dodgers, Angels, Mariners and Padres — have all "declared" Hawaii their territory. Why Arizona didn't also pile on isn't known.

It would be nice to feel that wanted if you didn't also know they were trying to pick our pockets at the same time.

Anyway, being in their "territory" allows all six teams to say Hawaii cable outlets must either work a deal with the clubs' regional sports networks (RSNs) or face a blackout of non-ESPN national telecasts. That means no viewing them on MLB.com, MLB Extra Innings or other outlets unless you have DirecTV, which most of Hawaii doesn't. Good luck on getting a discount, too.

Oceanic Time Warner Cable struck agreements with the Dodgers and Angels, but not the others and negotiations with the Giants' provider, Comcast Sports Net Bay Area and CSN California have apparently been going nowhere with more finger-pointing than progress.

Some of you are too young to remember this but 1-0 games were pretty common in the dark ages.   Pitchers duels are enjoyable although I'd rather see Carlton-Gibson than the crapwe watched last nite.

Post by: Sgt PSN on June 25, 2011, 11:10:20 AM
I didn't see the game, but just looking at the box score I wouldn't call the game a pitcher's duel.  I'd call it 2 offenses putting on a display of ineptitude.  Carlton-Gibson shut down opposing offenses and would do it for 9 innings.  But when Worley and something called Moscoso throw 13 combined innings and give up 3 total hits, it's usually because the offenses are either crappy or having a collective off night.  Not to take anything away from them because they were obviously doing something right.  But at the same time, the 2 of them gave up more combined walks (7) than there were hits for the entire game (6).

im all for a 1-0 pitchers duel...in fact i love them

but last night was the farthest thing possible from that...i was watching the game and had no idea either team was hitless much less both...in fact i made a post in the thread talking about the phillies getting shut out by that loser mosco...and had to edit the post when in the 5th inning mccarthy (puke) said both teams are being no hit...i was WHAT?

coming inn that farging scab for oakland had more walks on the year than strikeouts...thats really hard to do....and last night he did the same...last nights game there were more walks than strikeouts....pitching had nothing to do with the score

it was oakland who is at or near the bottom of the majors in almost every meaningful offensive category and we all know about the phillies ineptitude

id still like an answer as to why oakland had sizemore playing way in like there were less than two outs...i just dont get it

Havas and Sarge on point.

I'm also down for a good old fashioned pitchers duel. Love them, in fact. Last night was two struggling offense facing AAA pitching.

And yes, Oaklands defensive alignment was baffling. Francisco said post game he saw it and they even had the SS shaded over too. Makes no sense but farg it- it gave the Phils a win.

How much has Polancos average dropped in the last month? 60 points?

im sure they have a few regular season two or three game winnings streaks left in them because of the rotation....but anyone who thinks this team can win a ws this year should be shot

lol god you are like an irritating old jewish lady. and im back here dealing with all this shtein cause my grandmas died (which is why i cant go to the bank tomorrow) and your little passive aggressive bitching is the same as my aunt trying to control the distribution of her moms worthless shtein in her apartment, like farging blenders and chairs and photos and shtein.

you should farging convert already and get it over with. or just admit youre donovan mcnabb cause you guys are the farging same.

and for the record no i do not think the phillies will win the world series this year so dont come at me with that.

This doesn't have anything to do with the Phils but are the Pirates the most surprising team in the league this year?

I honestly hadn't been paying attention to them at all but going over the standings today I noticed they're two games over .500.  Between them and the Nats playing over their heads, it's been an interesting half season so far.

And PISS on Boston.

I was at a graduation party tonight with a buddy of mine who is a huge Red Sox fan (raised in Medford, MA so he's real).  I did my usual bitch and moan session about the bums until he went off on the Bosox and how bad their pitching is and they won't continue to score runs like they did last week.  Frickin guy sounded like a few of us on this board.

I'll be ecstatic if the Phils win 2 of 3.  Like their chances with Lee and Hamels.

Once again, because I've yet to see a decent response to this question, I ask;

Why is making a comment, sarcastic or otherwise, always construed as negative or sky is falling?

Danys Baez sucks. Do you dispute that? And if not - why do you care that someone makes a remark about how he sucks. I mean, you rail on Kyle Kendrick just about each time he pitches.

So 80 cames into the season, just barely before the mid-way point, the Phils are half-way to 100 wins.  This has mostly been without Grit and an injury riddled bull pen.  Not to mention that Oswalt has contributed almost nothing, Blanton's been gone and Lee got off to a slow start but is finaLEE heating up.  Oh, and Kyle Kendrick and Vance Worley have combined for 11 starts.

I'd still like to see them add another bat for the post season and hopefully pick up a serviceable arm for the pen, but this team is right where they need to be.  It's been ugly more often than not, but wins are wins and the Phils got fitty of them before every other team in the bigs.

Anyone who doesn't expect an occasional loss is a nimrod.

What annoys me is when they're losing by beating themselves.  It doesn't happen very often and that's why they're the best defensive & pitching team in the Majors.

If Cy Young Frankenputz from nowhere shuts them out, that's annoying too but that happens to every team.

Just saw that only 2 pitchers since WWII have won 5 games in a calendar month while having a lower ERA during that month than Lee's 0.21. 

Orel Hershiser went 5-0 in Sept 1988 and didn't surrender a single earned run.  The other was Corey Lidle in 2002 when he also went 5-0 with an ERA of 0.20.  I know Lidle was decent back in the day, but I don't remember him being that dominant for any stretch of time.  Guess he crashed and burned after that hot streak.

I know I predicted on here (probably in the Spring Training or Off Season thread) when everyone was so concerned about the bullpen, that the starting staff would combine for over 900 innings pitched this year. I was scoffed at and derided. Now as we reach the half way point let's check the progress. Doc, Lee, Hamels and Oswalt so far have pitched 432 innings. If you add Blanton's 34 they are past the halfway point. Hmmmmm, maybe I am not retarded afterall.

Sarge's facts are wrong, which will surprise nobody:

QuoteLee went 5-0 with a 0.21 ERA in June. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, since earned runs were first recorded on official scores -- 1912 in the NL and '13 in the AL -- only six other starting pitchers went 5-0 or better with an ERA that low in a calendar month: Guy Bush in August 1926 (6-0, 0.19 ERA), Fernando Valenzuela in April 1981 (5-0, 0.20), Nolan Ryan in May 1984 (5-0, 0.20), Mike Witt in August 1986 (5-0, 0.21), Orel Hershiser in September 1988 (5-0, 0.00) and Cory Lidle in August 2002 (5-0, 0.20).

Valenzuela, Ryan, and Witt say... "farg you, Sarge!"

I think we can all agree this is David Herndon.  We get him or we get Baez.  They both stink. Baez on a much more epic level of course. In Herndon's defense I don't think he was ready nor would anyone be expecting to be put in, in a 0-0 game with your starter only having given up 2 hits after four innings. It is what it is.

Christ you people are horrible.  I hadn't seen the score yet, but I figured Boston was up something like 9-0 in the 8th.  So I look and it's 3-0 after 6.  Granted, this team isn't built much for late game come backs, but 3-0 is not an insurmountable deficit with 3 innings to go.  And even if they lose, so what.  They still took 2 of 3 from the AL favorites.  Settle down, nimrods. 

At the same time though, farg Herndon for having a zesty day.  5 hits and 3 runs in 2 IP?  That's boo worthy.

Best player on their team this year and it hasn't been close.

Those idiots saying Ryan Howard has been the best player on the team this year on WIP are farging dumb.

Howard (avg, obp, slugging): .254, .353, .485.  OPS = .838
Victorino: .297, .368, .517.  OPS = .885

And that isn't even counting defense + steals.

Victorino has been their best offensive player by a mile this season.

in a perfect world not only is kendrick not starting but stutes or big truck can come in there.

i love twitter blowing up over charlie not magically inserting stutes into the game after his ace, who was under 100 pitches, quickly gave up back to back homers.

do people not understand the game? lee will stay in that game 100 times out of 100. this time he happened to get smoked.

Post by: MDS on July 03, 2011, 03:51:06 PM
you can argue someone should have come in at some before encarnacion made it 7-4, but before that its moot. even if stutes is ready, lee stays in.

im not sure when stutes got up but im pretty sure he was ready before encarnacion hit his homer, so charlie i suppose played it right he just left lee in 1 pitch too long. but its lee. you got to let him work his game, good or bad. thats why youre paying him 20 million dollars.

and after bautistas jack the game was over, so it didnt even matter. and the more i think about this, the more over analysis i do. they lost a game in july. they took 2/3 from the blue jays. whatever. moving on.

of course, but its going to happen over the course of the year. if its a playoff game and they have a full bullpen its probably a different story.

Yeah it was pretty cool...it's formerly Reading Municipal Stadium and now FirstEnergy. I hadn't been up there since I was a kid. A great ballpark to watch a game. Tickets were $9, hotdogs a buck and everything else reasonable. 32oz beer was $8.50 and they had good stuff on tap (Molson, Labatt, Yuengling, Sam Adams, etc).

Tonight was fireworks night do it was crammed. The seating is very intimate and I had my neighbors in my lap for the first three so we got up and walked around and watched from different spots and drank. The fireworks were solid.

The R-Phils won 4-3 and there was quite a bit of nice defense out there. Freddy Galvis is damn good with the glove.

I did not realize he was under 100 pitches.  You're right, Lee's going to get the green light to stay in the game 100%.   You could tell it was getting dicey in the 6th and 7th innings for him but didn't see a breakdown of this magnitude coming.  Not concerned one bit.  You know Lee is going to be one fired up mother farger come the Braves visit to CBP.

Yeah he doesn't swing the bat well yet...which is why the folks who think that letting Jimmy walk and bringing him up next year are drunk. Give Rollins a 3yr deal and then Freddy may be ready.

i went to pretty much every home game in reading from the ages of about 10 to 15. i actually got to sit in the bullpen sometimes bc all of the relievers knew me. if you came all the way from texas to go to an r-phils game, i hope you at least went to al's diamond caberet after. one of the best titty bars in the country, no joke.

he beat the play but his front leg kick the ground as opposed to touching the plate. his back leg caught the plate after the tag. but on a play like that the runner is always going to get the benefit of the doubt, impossible to see all that full speed.

Watched the first 5 innings, ran to a beach about ten minutes from my house for a quick bodysurfing session.  Water was great but the surf sucked.  Actually made it home for the ninth inning.  That was a classic shot of the crowd rising to their feet with two out in the bottom of the ninth and seeing all that red in Miami.  That was so cool.

volstad vs the phils = 5.22

lol @ a world series bet

hes convinced himself im wheeler and hes trying to sucker me into outlandish bets like that. i wanted to go big on making the playoffs, i.e. the only thing i was sure of before the season, and he agreed to a big bet of 25 bucks. now obviously since the spot is assured, even to a hater, im the Hoyda.

and yet we let non jews have money...

p.s. mike mike starting and batting 2nd. no polanco. no hofberry.

The whining is bad enough.  They do this shtein every game.  The PLAY BY PLAY announcer doesn't even announce the game.  He just rambles on and on about whatever random topic the fans send by e-mail or Twitter or text.

It's like it's a mock broadcast for students to hear everything not to do during a real broadcast.

Why would Ramirez risk making the third out at third like that?  They're down 8 to farging 2, already.

If the Marlins want to know why they keep losing, look to shtein like that.  Just bad baseball.

Not sure why everyone is ripping on Danley when they should be ripping on HOF Brown for missing the bag (not to mention being a general liability in the field last night). If you guys saw Brown's heel definitively clipping that bag, you must have seen a camera angle I did not. Now Brown admits that he didn't touch it, as he clearly knew when he immediately walked off the field showing zero emotion after being told he was out.

Kerwin Danley won a game for the Phils in this series, Dom Brown lost one.

should be a little shook...braves talent is out of control...they actually have the second most wins in the majors

people will of course say that the phils pitching cannot be beat but the braves have a better era than the phils...and before everyone says how the phils rotation cant be beat ill tell you the super dirty little secret

jurrjenns - HOF hanson - beachy have a better era than halladay - phifer - nicole

the advantage the phils have is of course experience and the big question will be can the braves kids hold up down the stretch of a race...if they do then the division is atlantas

but either way we have a bonafied big time major league divisional race....knuckle up and guard your grill folks this weekend is gonna be sick

I did some quick math to check up on this, granted I only have about 2 minutes before my work day starts but here's what I came up with. I rounded down in every situation.

Of the 3 Braves starters you mentioned, they've given up a total of 72 runs in 267 innings which averages out to around 3.70
http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/pitching/_/name/atl/atlanta-braves

Of the 3 Phillies starters you mentioned they've given up 112 runs in 389 innings, which averages out to 3.47

http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/pitching/_/name/phi/philadelphia-phillies

I realize ERA takes other things into consideration and my math is admittedly flawed as I only have a few minutes to put this together but if you take the earned runs and divide it into the innings pitched the Phils 3 starters mentioned have a lower ERA.

Braves? I thought it was the Marlins, nope the Red Sox, no the Nationals the Phils were supposed to be worried about. I'm confused, can you pick and stay with one team? You jump around more then Kris Kross.

Post by: MDS on July 07, 2011, 09:06:44 AM
some lost on logic in here

the braves starters give up less runs but pitch less innings. so from that their ERA is going to be lower (earned runs over 9 innings) and if SDs math is right the phillies starters spread out their runs better because they last longer.

so the question is not only will they braves guys hold up, its will their 3-4 big bullpen guys hold up, too. o'flaherty is already banged up, kimbrel is just a young pup, venters has been used a lot....we'll see where those guys are come september.

but legitimately these are the 2 best teams in the NL and 2 of the 5 best teams in baseball. i wouldnt go too crazy about how big this weekend is because its frickin july and they play 6 times in september and they both are in the playoffs and homefield doesnt matter, but it should be fun.

braves staff is better top to bottom...the difference is the phillies top three have the experience advantage...HOF and beachy are still kids and you just dont know if they will hold up down the stretch

i mean, the braves have had a nice little hot streak, but the phillies are just better.

another thing is the braves will have 9 more division games than the phils in the 2nd half of the year

currently braves are 16-14 in the division and the nl east teams, aside from florida, arent half bad. phillies meanwhile still get their home series vs. san diego, pittsburgh and get to go to chicago and houston. thatll help.

oh shtein just looked it up. venters has been in 48 games this year. lol freddie gonzalez.

pittsburgh is good this year but even if you didnt know that the braves have a four game home set vs them in the second half...they also get to go to chicago for four...oh and have three more against them at home...and have nine more vs the marlins

schedule is not relevant

I'm not sure when his contract expires, but I beleive Either is the next "big name" player that they have coming up for free agency.  So if the Dodgers look to move anyone, I'd imagine they would start with him.  His power numbers are down, but he's still hitting for a high average.

Scared of them in an igy sense? No, I can acknowledge they're on a hot streak and admit they do have a lot of talent though. Definitely a team to keep an eye on. Not to mention they have the second most wins in all of baseball. And I'd be willing to put money on the Braves winning today. It has more to do with the ebb and flow of Cliff Lee than it does anything else. When Lee goes on a hot streak like he was on in the month of June he usually comes crashing down for a few games after the streak is over. The crash started midway through the last game and it wouldn't surprise me if he lets up 4-5+ runs today.

QuoteJose Contreras' Season In Jeopardy
By Steve Adams [July 10, 2011 at 2:41pm CST]

Jose Contreras has suffered a setback in his recovery from a right forearm injury, and Will Carroll tweets that the setback is "very serious" and has the remainder of the season in jeopardy for the 39-year-old right-hander.

Contreras has been limited to just 14 innings due to injuries in the first year of the two-year, $5.5MM extension he signed with the Phillies this offseason. This setback is just the latest in what's been a season of bad luck for the Philadelphia bullpen. Both Brad Lidge and Ryan Madson are on the shelf, which has led to Antonio basticho's emergence as the Phillies' closer for the time being.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has already said he's seeking bullpen help. The Phils have contacted the Padres about Heath Bell and Chad Qualls, and a serious injury to Contreras will likely strengthen their desire to add some proven arms to the back-end of the bullpen. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes listed some potentially available right-handed relievers last month, many of whom could now be on Amaro's radar with Contreras' future in question.

Heath Bell....what would that take?

Padres need bats. Rizzotti or Singleton?

Slow your roll, homers. Two of the top three Braves starters were missed, and they are missing some good position players as well. The first two games were basically toss-ups.

I still think that the Phillies are a better team, but McCann is right. The Braves are close. And being close and getting a little lucky is all they'd need to beat the Phils for the division or in the NLCS.

Enjoyed the win today, but don't chuckle when the Braves players comment that they're not too bad. They're right.

for example, Derek Lowe:

Quote"[Philadelphia] is a good team," said Atlanta starter Derek Lowe, who gave up four runs in six innings. "Sometimes you've just got to say, 'You got your butts beat.'

"That's what happened. They pitched great; 20 hits, 14 runs. You just have to give them credit."

the braves and phillies are evenly matched

the phils pervceived advantage wont really be a big advantage in the playoffs

halladay
lee
hamels
oswalt/worley

vs

jurrjenns
hudson
HOF
beachy/lowe

can you say the phillies top three are better...sure you can...but if both teams give up one or two runs in eight innings then what is the difference...the answer is there is none...basically a braves phillies playoff series will be identical to the first two games of this series...and the teams split those games...the series would be a coin flip and would come down to clutch hitting (and to a lesser extent bullpens)....if the braves timely hitting is better than the phils as sf's was last year then the phils lose...if the phils continue to do well in the clutch like they have this season so far they will win the series

the problem is that the phils offense dies a slow death when they face top starters....choke for example has 11 hits and 30 k's against top starters this year...expect an epically bad nlcs from him if they get that far...granted the braves offense scares no one either but the point is that the phillies hideous offense will negate their big three starters when facing other good pitching in the postseason

in other words mcann is exactly right in what he says

no mention of the padilla flotilla, though.

i remember there was this super awkward video i think on csn of the flotilla meeting el senor de tequila in the clubhouse and he just had the most confused, deranged look on his face when they started doing the dance for him. oh, those were the days.

that was the year they signed danny tartabull like 5 seconds before the season, then he tweaked his ankle a bit on opening day and i think played 2 more games before packing it in for the rest of the season. some of us, i wont say who, secretly long for a return to those days so they can have their indie band back to themselves.

just looking at the 1999 team--only 1 starter (marlon anderson) had on obp below 330. hell abreu's was .446. six guys with double digit homers and 5 with double digit steals.

then you look at the rotation: schilling, paul byrd, chad ogea, robert person and a young randy wolf.

the bullpen: wayne gomes, steve montgomery (?), thats amaury (telemaco), jim poole, yorkis perez.

farging christ that pitching was bad.

Saw a stat about basticho about expecting him to regress to the man because his BABIP is ridiculous right now, but, while I don't expect him to be this crazy the rest of the year, I saw that the % of balls in play that are popups in the infield is a sick 35%.  Hard to have a good batting average against him with that.

Depends--sometimes I think it's useful, sometimes it isn't.  Looking at the distribution is helpful.  If a pitcher's ERA has gone up significantly and so has the BABIP against him, some people attribute it to luck/sample size, but if the line drive rate is going up as well, or a ground ball pitcher is throwing more fly balls than normal then the stat is flawed.

It's not necessarily that telling in a vacuum--things like ERA/WHIP/K:BB are WAY more important, but it's still useful to look at.

Ignoring stats like xFip, WAR, etc, the last 15 years have introduced statistics (or at least made them more prevalent) that are very relevant.  Things like OPS/OBP didn't get much play 15 years ago and they're critical, much like WHIP is massively important and so is K/BB ratios.  So I while I agree on one end, filing everything that isn't avg/rbi/hr/wins/era as being irrelevant and nerdy is short sighted.

it says baltimore is getting the phils which would mean im getting it but how would an al east city not get the red sox

in fact it has the al east city (bodyland) getting an nl east game and the nl east city (chocolate city) getting the al east game

we wont be missing much, nicole is pitching. he never wins games, he just throws the baseball in them.

p.s. who wants heath bell http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/15/report-phillies-are-front-runners-for-padres-relievers-heath-bell-or-mike-adams/

two things with that
1. bell would be an instant phillie legend, dudes gonna eat everything up that comes playing in philly
2. get your trade offers into me now for mike adams aka the new padres closer

I saw that the Phils were interested in Mike Adams too.

ODB/Madson setting up & Bell in the 9th? Sold.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 16, 2011, 02:48:28 PM
its 1 of the 3 (bell, adams, qualls). lookin like theyre getting 1.

lets say they get bell. now that means stutes is a 7th inning guy, maybe even someone they can bring in in the 6th. also since lidge is on his way back (and who knows what hell give them), the bullpen might look like this:

bell
odb
madson
stutes
lidge
kendrick (as a long man once oswalt returns)
perez/baez

depending on when oswalt can get back they might keep baez, send down perez and then bring him back sept 1. it might only be a few weeks in which case they would do that. or oswalt gets back in early august and they finally might sack ol joan back to cuba.

im not sure ludwick is better than mayberry or hell even ben frank


btw that tv map was correct...can someone explain to me how the al game is on in an nl city and the nl game is on in the al city

i mean hawaii gets the phils because of a single player and geo gets the red sox because of where they train but dc and baltimore dont get the game that includes two teams in their home teams division...that to me is an infinitely stronger reason that the two i just noted

Yeah. They should pack it in and you should kill yourself.

So Choke dropped another pop up eh? Seems like that's been happening a lot lately. Did it cause runs to score? And did it really affect Hamels?

no he is not. he isnt even better than martinez and martinez is a useless utility player.

they need a bat more than they need heath bell but the bats range from the unattainable (kemp) to the zesty (ludwick).

Looking over Ludwick's stats - traditional and otherwise - and he's no better than MAAAyberry. Either do it right or go with what we have.

Hell, take that woman Carlos Beltran over Ludwick.

Post by: MDS on July 18, 2011, 12:14:18 AM
they would never trade beltran in the division like that.

the royals guys like cabrera and frenchy have been rumored. thing is getting one of them would spell the end of hof brown for the year...which production wise isnt a terrible idea but im not sure what 2 months of lehigh valley is going to do for him. sending him back down is basically telling him hes not good enough.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: ice grillin you on July 18, 2011, 05:15:08 AM
a right handed bat would not mean a demotion for brown...most likely they go with a platoon in right field...they would be accquiring such a bat amost as much to strengthen the bench by giving you a rh that can come in late in games and get you a hit than they would as a starter...either way dom would not be sent down

Cabrera is awful, I'd honestly rather ride the year out with Brown.  I'm also very lukewarm on Ludwick.  I think Willingham would be a good fit and I'd like Adams if he doesn't cost too much.

I certainly think that they could use a right-handed OF to platoon with Brown/Ibanez.

Hell no on Beltran. Great player in his prime (which he's not any more) and when healthy (which he never is any more). Not worth it to see decent prospects flourish with the Mets in a few years.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: ice grillin you on July 18, 2011, 12:53:35 PM
he probably is the best player on the market but i still wouldnt assume that beltran commands top notch stud prospects...the fact thats hes a two month rental will diminish his value

also the phillies dont have any great prospects....thats not to say the best prospects they do have wont turn into gems but right now theres no dom brown that you would be scared to lose

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on July 18, 2011, 01:15:53 PM
Even if the best prospects in the organization are still not GREAT prospects, their value to the Phillies is greater because of their relative value to other prospects in the system.

But still, can't see the Mets giving the Phils a good deal on Beltran, and that's fine with me. Probably the main thing that will stop Amaro from pulling that trigger.

this just isnt true

each prospect is taken on his own face value...a C+ prospect is not a B+ prospect because hes the best prospect in your system...if you dont think he projects to being a major league player than thats all that matters...it doesnt matter than the has a 10% more chance at making the show than other guys in your system

i do agree with your second point in relation to the phils...i think they will have to give substantially more than any other team in the league to get him...if the mets would even trade him to the phils at any price

in general tho i dont think he commands as much as people think...so maybe the phils have to pay more than anyone else but still give up an acceptable amount

hes a singles hitter. his knees are shot and he has no power.

he should be leading off or hitting 2nd.

its the reason why they cant score runs...howard is the only one left with power (and i guess ibanez but hes terrible). need to hit more homers. they count as runs. runs are good.

8 doubles, 3 triples, 4 homers = first 2 months of 2011
10 doubles, 1 triple, 10 homers = first 2 months of 2010

hes slumping right now, i guess. but the rbi's are down because of a lack of extra base hits, which is why the offense is down as a whole.

are you serious or just trying to...i dont even know

hes never going to be the player he was in 06/07 range but hes still a well above average second baseman. again hes not a 3 hitter, centerpiece of the offense type player anymore. but if hes hitting 2nd or 6th or something he can be very productive.

Forget temperature and humidity readings. Walk into the shower room of a health club sometime when every stall is blasting hot water. Then put on a baseball uniform and try to retire a major league lineup. That was Roy Halladay last night at Wrigley Field.

can someone explain chokes stance in the box in the 6th inning with two men on...he farging all over the plate like he facing one of those sweeping curve throwing lefties that kill him...motherfarger its rodrigo lopez a right hander who is not going to throw you anything close to out over the plate...hes gonna try and jam you with that slider that tails back in on your wrists...adn what happens?....he throws that exact pitch and because choke is inexplicably all over the plate gets jammed and pops up on a pitch that should have been in the bleachers

- i think you mean wednesday is an auto L and yes, to me, nothing screams unwinnable like cy young award winner ryan dempster on a hot afternoon in july. vance worley hasnt pitched well all year and the cubs are a playoff team, so thats over. no debate.

Wrong, and wrong. But I don't attempt or profess to know everything about everything. Too many teams, too many players, too many games. I'm not sure what the hell you mean by "effective player," but he's basically an average fielder and a below-average hitter at this point. Might as well platoon with Martinez or Valdez, and certainly shouldn't be the 3-hole hitter on the best team in baseball. At least he can still draw a walk!

Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy your banter with your idol IGY. You do realize that you can never win, right?

he doesnt have enough PAs to qualify, but utley's .777 ops is 8th among second baseman in baseball, third in the NL.

out of all players he would be ranked 72nd out of roughly 158 who qualify. so even in terms of just players who have enough PAs hes above average, and obviously over the eons of utility players and bench players like valdez and martinez.

you do realize these stats take 10 seconds to look up? i would stick to google searching and facebook stalking if i were you.

Utley is still, at a minimum, the 3rd best offensive player on the team, behind Victorino and Howard.  Suggesting a platoon with Martinez or Valdez is awful.

hes light years ahead of valdez and martinez. yes. 

and im IN for beltran, even if it means they settle on chad qualls as the bullpen help. this team needs a bat more than anything. and getting beltran means you can move victorino to 2nd...which gives you the kind of speed youd like at the top of the order.

Yep, I'd prefer Beltran to any bullpen help.  He fills a much bigger need.  Stutes is serviceable, and with the starters, Madson and basticho are enough most nights.  I'd like another arm, but Beltran is more useful.

they need bullpen help more than a bat...they are living or dying with their pitching...no single bat they can legitimately acquire would be the difference btwn a world series or not...and theres just no way you can rely on stutes odb and madson in big playoff games...none of the three has ever closed in that kind of enviroment...we know madson is the closer and theres nothing you can do about that but at least hes the veteran and the most dependable...im positive mike stutes should not pitch in the playoffs this year other than mop up duty or extra innings....and while i feel much better about him than stutes im not sure what im gonna get from the odb in big post season spots either....so what you do is acquire mike adams who has other worldly numbers and give him the 8th inning/plan b closer spot

at this point you pray that the top three starters go at least seven every game with the lead and then its lights out in eight and nine....the point being if lee hamels and halladay arent all basically perfect in the post season you are not winning anyway because the offense is going to be shut down when facing good pitching every night....and certainly jeff francouer is not going to be able to overcome sub par starts by H-L-H and by himself elevate the offense to the point that its gonna win games for you

back to back strikeouts of the farging 3rd and 4th hitter with a goddamn runner on 3rd base.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

classic how they were both complete opposites but with the same brutal result....GRIT is never even in his at bat and choke is up 3-1 and completely loses control of the situation by missing that fastball by a mile

GRITS was actually much worse because all he had to do was make contact yet couldnt even foul off a single pitch...choke had to actually get a hit

lets all blame the all star game before lee, hamels and halladay not having it this week

If you listen to the way Dubee tells it, not only did the AS game contribute to their not having it but it also is the cause of HIV.

does he know that nicole didnt actually pitch in the all star game?

does he also know that by trotting that excuse out it makes his own pitchers look like pusssssies

shtein - he started th bitching about it before the AS break even started.

How about some farging offense tonight, eh?

Come on Wheels, tell us how humid it is and how some wacky things will happen and how far the balls will fly on a hot summer night in the friendly confines.

some jerk off named voglesong did pretty well after the AS game

oh its never been hot at a baseball game before...EVER...

you know because this being the first year they have played a season in the summer

plus these are farging night games...what is humiday gonna do on sunday for a 135 johnson

HOF Beachy looking GREAT in his first game back after the AS break

last night is the exact blueprint of what will happen if they are to win the world series

one of the big three goes seven (yeah i know phifer went six last night...on only 89 pitches btw...i couldnt for the life of me figure out why he came out last night) giving up two or less

offense gets no hits expect for clutch ones

bullpen buries the opponent in the 8th and 9th

imo this is why you get mike adams and call it a day

Yes, because that's not a knee-jerk reaction after a good game or anything.

That said, I'd rather keep Rollins until he's dead over any of the other regular starting infielders.

Its not. Letting him go would be dumb as farg and today just reiterated the sheer stupidity such a decision would be.

Anyways....do not want.

QuoteThe Phillies and Royals have discussed a deal that would send Melky Cabrera to Philadelphia, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The sides have exchanged names, but they aren't close to completing a trade.

Morosi notes that it's unlikely that the Royals will trade both Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur, since that would create openings in next year's outfield. The Royals and Francoeur have a mutual option for 2012 and Cabrera is arbitration eligible after the season.

Phil Anastasia of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Philadelphia's interest in Cabrera earlier this week. Some Phillies people think the Royals are asking for a "small fortune" for Cabrera, Francoeur and Joakim Soria, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (on Twitter).

Cabrera earns just $1.25MM this season, so he's considerably cheaper than another one of Philadelphia's targets, Carlos Beltran. Beltran, a switch-hitter like Cabrera, earns $18.5MM this year and though the Mets appear willing to cover a substantial portion of that, they're asking for top young players in return. The Phillies appear to be one of the favorites to acquire Beltran.

If the price is right I'd take Melky in a second. Dude's on a tear this year and is still young enough to think that maybe he's just blooming a little late.

Twins farmhand - released from the Minnesota organization supposedly for "off the field issues."  Plays mostly 2B.

Six season in the minors - parts of the last two seasons in AAA.  .282/.329/.418 minor league totals.

Honestly, don't see much upside.  Not much power, not much speed (top of 8 stolen bases in any season).  Probably just a recycling of minor league fodder.

cubs putting soriano out there, even saying they would eat most of his salary.

NO.

marlon byrd also on the block. due just 6.5 million next year as the last year of a 3 year deal. wouldnt take much. wouldnt cost much. got hit in the face. still is pretty good. IN if other options like pence dont pan out.

i cant really argue with that. but hes an upgrade over ibanez and is as good as a player as theyre going to find for LF next year. its not option A or even option D but if they can not give up worley, singleton, cosart, etc. and upgrade corner OF then it's a good thing.

plus i just like the dude. sexually, sure. go for it. go there.

I just don't want Ludwick.  His slugging is less than .400.  People need to get off his RBI total.  Pass on Ludwick and pass on Cabrera (though I'd rather have him than Ludwick).  If they're going that route, I'll take Willingham please, though I'm really hoping Wade loves the idea of Worley and some AAAAer like Rizzoti.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on July 22, 2011, 01:39:06 AM
Michael Bourn is available. Indulge me for a moment...I'm thinking out loud here

Bourn - CF
Victorino - LF
Rollins - SS
Howard - 1B
Utley - 2B
Polanco - 3B
Brown - RF
Ruiz - C

And I think I prefer Beltran over all other options when looking at an OF bat. But not at a huge cost of HOF or Cosart
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 22, 2011, 01:42:38 AM
i will not indulge you. they need bourn less than they need byrd.

when you look all the options for what they need--most notably controlling the player beyond this season--byrd makes a lot of sense. but not at the cost of worley or cosart. hes not worth it for them.

the pence rumors seemed to die down a bit. the kemp rumors i pretty much created out of thin air. its beltran, willingham or ludwick. yuck.

which is why young marlon might be something you can talk yourself into. were talking about an upgrade over raul ibanez here. it shouldnt be hard.

Post by: MDS on July 22, 2011, 01:56:53 AM
they dont need another left handed bat, first off. bourn is a pretty weak hitter career-wise against lhp.

secondly if you hit him first then you have to hit jimmy second, then flow into uts and howard. say hello to left specialist johnny venters, eric o'mickhead, javier phillies are my bitch lopez and say hello to 4 straight outs.

he just doesnt fit in this order. but yes, he is an upgrade over ibanez so if hes the guy they get ill take it but they can do a lot better.

theres nothing fun talking about players who have zero chance to ever be a phillie or talking about every single player who has ever lived and how he would fit on the phillies...especially when 99% of the guys available would make no difference whatsoever

its completely different from nfl free agency where there is always just a small contingent of players the eagles would ever sign and generally everyone knows who they are

imagine having to listen non stop for weeks about 27 different players the eagles could trade cobb for even though you know 25 of those players have no chance of ever being an eagle

lidge never closes for this team again (obviously)

but i think you gotta let him audition for a 7th inning role...stutes scares me still and throws up a poor outing every four or five games...i think you gotta find out if lidge still has it as his experience would be invaluable in the postseason...especially when side by side with the inexperience of stutes

baseball is behind the throwbacks in their sport but your point still rings loudly true as i have no doubt the phillies would do it on their own regardless

phillies are pretty much flawless from a public relation/fan perspective

steals arent a part of the game anymore no matter how fast you are...especially in that park with their lineup...and he still gets over 50 a year which is like 100 twenty five years ago

whats amazing is that his ops is only like 40 pts lower than chokes...more of a damnation on choke but still pretty impressive

Bah - When I was double checking his stats, I misread the SB line.   I was shocked his totals seemed so low - 50s is more like what I pictured him. 

He did turn into a nice little player.  I'll still take the year of the Lidge perfecto and the WFC, though.

i think pence is overrated and i dont think a bat is necessary and id still do that...just because worley and dom arent difference makers right now and in a few years when dom might be the phillies wont be contending anyway.....they have to win right farging now....trade the farm for anyone that will help win a world series this year

I will never forget writing him an email in the late 90s telling him how much I liked something he wrote (I was living in NY) and he literally wrote me back calling me an icehole and Hoyda, etc. I wrote back asking him if he responds to all of his readers that way when they write to compliment him.

a bat would be nice but they certainly dont need one and they def dont need one as much as they need a lock down bullpen arm

odb and stutes cannot be relied upon in the post season
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 24, 2011, 02:56:41 PM
but venters and kimbrel can, im sure.

not that im trying to compare the two but both have the same amount of "experience." which matters so much. just ask josh beckett in 2003. or adam wainwright in 2006.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: ice grillin you on July 24, 2011, 03:24:34 PM
i dont know if they can or not....but im not talking about the braves nor do i care about them so im not sure why you would even bring them up....tho as a side note ventors has more career appearances than odb and stutes combined....but this is about the phillies winning the world series and right now mike adams helps them more towards that goal than jeff francouer

in 2008 they won with

lidge - closer
madson - set up
roidmero - lefty
durbin - righty

now they have

madson - closer
odb - set up
perez - lefty
stutes - righty

that aint gonna fly....if you got adams that would bump perez out of the equation and you would limit odb to loogy status rather than having responsibility for the entire 8th inning...thats a monster upgrade

i guess you can make the argument that if they get pence or beltran possibly they would help more but otherwise adams would be a much bigger improvement over stutes or perez than a francouer would be over brown/mayberry...not to mention playoff pitching is much more likely to neutralize offense than playoff offense is likely to hit much vs playoff pitching

i used to be fully on the offense bandwagon but after watching how much hitting has fallen off in mlb this year im not so worried about the offense anymore...combine that with contreras being done and they need an arm much more....the one asterik here would be lidge...if he were to come back and be a viable 7th or 8th inning option then the dynamic changes of course...but i dont think anyone is counting on that

in the end the major players...we all know who they are jimmy choke grit polanco (hopefully) braindead and chooch are going to have to come thru with clutch hits or they are going to lose anyway and jeff francouer josh willingham or melky cabrera arent going to change that
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 24, 2011, 03:32:20 PM
ive never been on the get willingham bandwagon. when i say a bat i mean a farging bat. pence, kemp, byrd, someone who hits upwards of .300 and can hit homers.

and one big thing in this mess of a post is they dont need to get 12 outs out of the bullpen anymore. if they are gonna win they are gonna win with getting 3-6 outs. halladay, lee and hamels get you into the 8th. hamels, moyer, blanton and myers did not. if you can add an extra run in that equation it will certainly help.

plus adams is off the market. and even with that im not opposed to another arm, even if lidge is effective. but if they get something out of lidge you have him, stutes and madson which will do just fine.

because they need to go big in 1 of the areas and cant do both

getting lets say chad qualls and josh willingham is sort of useless. if you are going to make a move get beltran, pence, kemp OR bell. they dont have the ammo to pull off both.

and no bat you acquire is going to be worth a run per game...the chances that even a pence or beltran hit like .150 in the post season are much higher than untouchable mike adams getting lit up...great pitchers still generally pitch great in the post season...great hitters often get neutralized....who would you put your money on to have a better playoff this year....halladay or utley....sabathia or texiera...yeah a cliff lee is gonna get blown up like he did in last years world series every once in a while but id rather have a shut down pitcher even if its a reliever than a good hitter...especially in a year of the pitcher

word was that adams was off...not sure what senile enberg thinks.

and im not doubting your argument is legit. but take last year, for example. they didnt lose because of pitching. they lost because of the offense. if you can add a legit bat on top of solidifying the bullpen with grant balfour or chad qualls then they should be in really good shape.

they lost because of not hitting at the right time but they have more than enough hitters in their lineup to do what the giants did last year and more...they just have to do it...getting pence or beltran while a definitely improvement and its a move i would never complain about isnt going to magically make the rest of the guys get clutch hits

i also could argue that the giants bullpen won that series...and thats the kind of blueprint i am looking at

javier lopez and madison bumgarner in game 6 won that series

which means choke and utley did dick.

when it boils down to it choke and grit lost the series for them. if they hit they have 2 rings now. same thing this year. its on them.

Picking up another bat would absolutely help. You get more guys in the lineup that are capable of going deep or getting on base consistently and you'll obviously have a better chance. It might not average out to be worth one more run a game, but when you've got better players from top to bottom, it's not the end of the world when someone goes cold. It doesn't take a genius to see that's why the Red Sox, Rangers, Yankees have the best offenses in the league. I know the Phils can't get even close to that level because they have more holes in the lineup, but the point still remains. Everyone's going to reference the Giants and their bullpen from last year just because it's the most convenient to remember, but in the playoffs offenses win games just as much as the bullpen.

That being said, the only bats really worth picking up are Pence and Beltran. Willingham would be a worthless pickup. It might be easier or cheaper to pick up some bullpen help so it might be a better option, but it'd be stupid to say that's the only option while dealing for a hitter would be useless.

I agree with Dillen that only Beltran or Pence would be worth going after. However, if they get Pence then it could affect them re-signing Jimmy and they have to re-sign him. One of the writers was saying that this morning, about Pence getting an extension that would hurt the chances of bringing Rollins back.

I do not want to give up HOF. They have to find a way to get a deal done without letting him go.

Exactly what I said a few pages ago.. The Mets will charge the Phillies too much for Beltran, especially if they pay his salary. No way a deal that benefits the Phils can be made.

Post by: Eagles_Legendz on July 24, 2011, 07:13:58 PM
I don't do that for Pence and I laugh before the Mets even finish the sentence if they're asking for that for Beltran.  I don't believe it though.  There is 0 way I trade Brown for 3 months of Beltran let alone Brown AND Cosart.  I don't even trade Cosart in a deal for Beltran.  Worley + a third tier prospect, for 2 second tier guys like Colvin/May is where I'd go and I don't think the Mets get better than that.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: SD on July 24, 2011, 07:20:22 PM
Here's a good question: Would you rather give up Cosart or Worley in a deal? Cosart has the bigger upside, but Worley helps you this year. I think Cosart should have more value but there's a part of me that wants them to deal Worley before the rest of the league catches onto him.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on July 24, 2011, 07:20:25 PM
I get that Worley's general value is not as high as his current performance would seem to indicate, but isn't that exactly the reason you DON'T trade him right now? This might be the best year of his career... Try to use it to win now, no?

Post by: Rome on July 24, 2011, 07:31:32 PM
Unless they somehow get Blanton or Oswalt fully healthy by October they're going to eventually need Worley.  I don't see any way the guy is going to continue on pitching the way he has but you never know.

i totally agree with balls to the wall....id farging trade dom in the right deal...i dont give a farg about three years from now...but the fact is the system is not strong enough to acquire a top notch trade deadline bat and arm unless dom brown is included....all their minor league talent is at the low levels and even the stuff there isnt over the top good....they have a lot of good prospects but no great ones....i LOL when people say they wouldnt trade jarred cosart...i would trade cosart for beltran or pence in a heartbeat

and that answers sd's question as far as who id trade first worley or cosart....its cosart and its not even close....the farging guy hasnt made one pitch at even reading yet

If the Mets say give us Worley and a prospect for Beltran do you do it or do you try to get them to take Cosart? I don't think the Phillies trade Worley because of what you wrote above. I think they do what they did with Happ which is get a good season out of him, let him pitch next season then move him if need be.

He doesn't have great stuff, his fastball has no movement. Once teams catch onto him he's going to be exposed. That's why if he has value right now you might want to consider moving him instead of Cosart.

worley is a sweetener in a deal not the ceneterpiece if hes moved at all which is unlikely

I'm not going to pretend to know how good Cosart may or may not be, but I do know he means jack shtein to the Phils winning the Series this year. Unfortunately, I don't think Brown means much more, despite being a starter. If he's going to be a star, it's not in 2011.

Worley is pretty much the only name I've heard mentioned that bothers me significantly. It's a pity they won't really know if Oswalt is truly good-to-go until after the trade deadline.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 24, 2011, 07:50:39 PM
worley will be a wild card luxury in the playoffs

bottom line is you dont want him in the game. not a knock against him its just hes only coming in if someone gets shelled, hurt or its an extra inning game.

and again if they are going big or going home then get matt kemp and stop dicking around.

I don't mind moving minor league pieces, but you can't keep depleting the farm system year after year and expect to stay on top. The core of this team was built in the minors.

Wonder if the Mets would take Aumont, Ramirez, and Gilles.

No one here can pretend to know anything about Cosart one way or the other, but all of the scouts consistently say he has legit #1 or 2 stuff.  Which means, given the number of other relatively highly regarded players in the Phillies lower minors, I think I can hold onto him if given the option for Beltran.  I'd ship him out for Pence, but I think you can get Beltran for less than Cosart+.

its sort of a random category but hes on pace to be ross gload. i.e. this is what youre going to find as an exclusive pinch hitter in the bigs.

and he leads the league because hes the only one who does this.

i mean he hasnt really been a good player since 2008 but even at his current numbers hes better than ibanez and hof.

plus at 27 he would inject some much needed youth, speed and defense to this squad. and he bats right handed. and probably wouldnt cost them any of the baby aces or compton john.

Right now, they're only 1.5 games further out of first in their division than igy's 2011 World Champion Atlanta Braves, so I don't know if they pack it in or not.  They need pitching awfully badly, though.  Worley might be their #2.

Don't read your own stuff much, do you?

Point is:  There could be a reasonable expectation that the Twins could jump back into a weak AL Central race, and therefore they may not be hosting a fire sale for Michael Cuddyer.

Maybe they should be, because their pitching staff is horrendous:  Carl Pavano, Nick Blackburn, Scott Baker, Brian Duensing, Francisco Liriano.  Baker's been good - the rest are varying degrees of suckitude.  And their bullpen has been worse.

But the Twins may also be trying to keep Cuddyer long term.  He's a good (not great) player and once of the real "good guys," so they may be trying to re-sign him.

Not really. Apparently his fastball velocity and location were both off. Secondary stuff looked good, though, and he went 72 pitches. Speculation is that he will start Tuesday in Colorado.

And yes, this is a typical Hamels gem with dodo run support.

Took me 2 1/2 hours to get home from the game because they're doing construction on the Ben Franklin Bridge. I usually don't mind - especially because they're working at night - but they coned off the 2 far left lanes 3 miles before you get to the bridge. Now I know why none of you fargers want to live here. Phillies fans are taking the douche factor up a notch. I don't mind because sell outs equals more revenue which equals better players but holy shtein is it getting bad.

its not good right now, no. will it ever be good? who knows. choke could not make the throw from 1st to 2nd but now hes much better. these things can get better.

who farging cares if it will ever be good...this year is all that matters and right now hes scary out there

and choke has gotten better by not throwing it into left field...but he accomplished that by simply not throwing the ball at all anymore...all he does is look to second or home and then runs and steps on first letting every runner advance

Well, then you'll all be thrilled to know that trade talks with the Astros for Pence are starting up again. The report is that Amaro is now willing to include Brown in the deal - the very reason the talks stopped before. Assuming Brown and Cosart wouldn't BOTH be in it, but if it's really 2011 or bust, who cares? Right, guys?!?

Pence for Brown is really a lateral move for the most part. Pence gives you a better player for this season and a right handed bat, Brown gives the Stros a young prospect with a high ceiling. I'd be fine with Brown and something else for Pence.

I agree for the most part, but he's a right handed bat and if they're thinking world series this season they're closer to that with Pence than they are with Brown.

Most experts seem to think that Brown for Pence straight up is a bad trade for the Phillies now and a worse one for the future of the team. But Pence happens to be right-handed!

Agreed that if it's Brown + anything else of value, it will make baby Jesus cry.

Ludwick farging blows.  ANYONE but Ludwick.

Dude has a .300 OBP and a .373 SLG%.  I know Petco is a cavern, but his road numbers are .300 OBP and .389 SLG.

In contrast:
Ibanez: .290 OBP and .423 SLG.
Francisco: .328 OBP and .355 SLG (blech).

Forget the fact that he can't get on base, Rollins has a higher slugging% than Ludwick does.

Pass.

Post by: Eagles_Legendz on July 28, 2011, 02:44:25 PM
And I like Pence, but I'm out on giving up Brown+ for him, though it helps this year.

Worley + Singleton or Cosart + some 2nd tier prospect like Jiwan James/Pettibone etc is the most I'm offering.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: SunMo on July 28, 2011, 02:51:20 PM
IGY and I have had this argument before and I know i'm in the minority, but...

I don't see why this year is WS or bust.  I mean, I understand why other people feel that way, but I just don't.  Do I want them to win the WS this year?  Of course, it would be devastating if they don't.  But this isn't some team just built for this year.  They still have Halladay, Lee, Hamels moving forward, they have young bullpen talent in Madson (if they re-sign), basticho, Stutes.  They have Howard, Utley, Victorino coming back, admittedly getting older.  They lose Lidge, Ibanez, Polanco, Oswalt, and Blanton off of their salary so they can sign some other players if they choose moving forward.  I just don't see this year being the last year they can compete.  That is why I don't want them to trade brown or cosart really.  Singleton I don't care about, he'll never play for the Phillies in the bigs.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on July 28, 2011, 02:52:55 PM
I just don't get the inclusion of Worley in any deal. Even if you assume that he will come back to earth and eventually be a #4 starter type down the line, he is dominating this year, and this year is THE year. So are you all just banking on Oswalt coming back strong, then? Because with Blanton toast, you are looking at Kendrick as your #4 starter if Oswalt has to shut it down. Much more gaping a hole than the desperate need for a (and seemingly any) right-handed bat.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: Eagles_Legendz on July 28, 2011, 03:16:21 PM
Worley's swing and miss % is second worst for pitchers with enough innings.  It isn't going to last.  He's been great this year but I don't think his stuff is good enough to hold up. 

And even if it does, he's still the 4th starter and a legit OF bat has a bigger impact than the 4th starter in the playoffs.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: SunMo on July 28, 2011, 03:19:00 PM
yeah, Worley's on a great run right now, but he's going to crash hard.  now is the time to sell high.  Kendrick was the same way when he first came up.

If other GMs know that, his value won't be high anyway. So again, it makes no sense to trade him unless you find a GM that thinks he'll have a sub-3.00 career ERA.

they aren't going to get shtein for him. Other GMs know he's going to crash next season. I'm fine with keeping him. The people saying "ship Worley instead of Cosart/Brown" are overvaluing Worley.

I'm fine with Ludwick as a throw-in in a deal that includes Adams. Adams helps this season and takes over as the closer next season. win/win.

Don't think Pence is ever getting done and I doubt the reports that the Phillies were offering Brown.

Apparently it's back to being a Cosart/Singleton/3rd player/4th player? deal without HOF or Worley.  Wade wants players younger than HOF....ha

if they trade for pence, is that unequivocally mean hof is either sitting on the bench or going back to AAA?

Best thing about if they get Pence is it fills a void in their OF next year.  Pence/Shane/HOF should be pretty solid and isn't old.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on July 29, 2011, 12:00:54 AM
that should be their OF for the next 3 years. if they get pence he gets an immediate extension.

the only thing to worry about, and J can attest to this, is he's a texan through and through. from fort worth, went to ut-arlington, plays in houston...who knows if he likes it in philly. hicks like lee and halladay and oswalt seem to be enjoying themselves but they arent texans.

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on July 29, 2011, 12:30:34 AM
Yeah usually Texans think that this is the only state and there is no other. Although he looks like a goober with his one batting glove and goofball face he can ball....plus it seems like every athlete who plays in Philly loves it there.

They need a bat though. If they give up Singleton/Cosart I will probably be ok with it.

im more sad about compton john but they are stuck with choke and his untradeable contract for the next 5 years anyway so they were going to have to deal him anyway.

pitching wise they gave up these guys over the last few years: jason knapp, gio gonzalez, carlos corrasco and kyle drabek.

drabek cant throw strikes. knapp i assume is dead. corrasco is a middle of the pack to below average starter. gonzalez is legit.

you never know with young pitching.

basically

if everything goes right its a 2-2 game going into the late inning (take away mike mike's error and have utley sac fly jimmy home in the 1st). then at that points its anyones game.

thats how its going to be best case scenario.

Latest from Stark (Per 97.5):

Phils offering Singleton, Cosart and Brown for Pence.  Houston wants a third team to spin Brown for more prospects.

Supposedly Braves offered a package, and were told to go pound sand.

how much better is pence going to hit in the playoffs versus mAAAberry or dom...is he a better player than either of them...no doubt he is...but that doesnt mean he is going to produce that much more and if he does is it cosart dom brown and singleton more...no farging way

yes the trade is not just about this october but also an outfield answer for the next couple years but if thats the case then just wait till the offseason and make a trade for an OF when the last second scramblings of the trading deadline arent driving the price thru the roof

and this is coming from a huge win now guy

i agree with the lil guy...take dom out and i do it....throw in another prospect even...cosart and singleton are overrrated and years away from the show if they ever even make it

pence is nice little player, certainly better than ibanez and what hof is producing now. but mortgaging your future for him is asinine. he aint worth it. the only one on the block who is is kemp and hes not even really on the block.

Agree, as much as I'm in the "win now" boat, there's no way I include Dom Brown in the field.  His zesty outfielding with be masked by moving over to Left Field when Pence arrives.

I absolutely would add Werth's numbers for some "A ballers". That doesn't include Brown. Giving up all of those prospects + Brown is nuts.

Quote
Not a fast bat . . . Needs to cheat a lot and therefore strikes out a lot . . . Not a high OPS guy . . . Would not protect [Ryan] Howard in the batting order . . . Not a guy I would like to pay a lot over the next 3 years like you would have to in [arbitration] . . . Not a great defensive player either. Not a premium guy worth giving up premium cheap future-salaried young players . . . I would trade the young guys if it was a guy with an OPS of .950 or above, more athletic with higher upside with a faster bat.

Anyone mention Choke's new house in Florida yet?

QuoteIt's 5,099 air miles from Tampa, Florida to Venice, Italy. But Ryan Howard found a much faster way to see the legendary Venetian canals: he's building one in his new home.

A town not far from Tampa is considering a major change to its housing code to allow the Phillies slugger to build a $23 million, 17,500-square-foot home nicknamed Casa Del Howard.

The Philadelphia Daily News reports (via the Tampa Bay Weekly) Howard's architect had to testify before a town commission about the ridiculous plans for the house. At issue is the length of construction. City code says all homes must be finished in 24 months; the Howard palace could take as long as 3 1/2 years to complete.

Dan Dawson says the gulf-front property, covering over an acre of land in Belleair, Florida, features a Venice-style lazy river running from the swimming pool underneath a series of bridges. In case you believe Howard could do without the Italian influence on his home, Dawson told the commission the river is "a fundamental part of the design." He claimed the whole Howard family was looking forward to seeing the canal, and won't consider dropping it from the plans.

If Howard gets bored with baseball, he can try the Pro Bowling Tour. His castle will include a bowling alley on the ground level with breakaway walls.

Belleair is considering its options. The town could amend the law, or the ordinance could be left as is, and the case appealed to the special magistrate when the six month deadline is not met.

Howard has earned $45,255,000 over the course of his big league career, which began in 2006. The St. Louis native will earn $115,000,000 in guaranteed money from 2012 through 2016 from the Phillies.

I agree with that.  In fact, Brown + anything for Pence and I'm out.

Looking at his numbers, he's really not even a huge upgrade over the Mayberry/Brown platoon split this year.  Pence is a good player, but he is no where near selling the entire farm for.

I'm in with Brown/Cosart for Kemp (not that he's available).  For Pence--no way.

This.  Dom's defense (as bad as it is) is still better than Raul, and his OPS is better too.  Mayberry/Dom split is better than Ibanez.

You think they outbid for Nnamdi? Sounds to me like he was going to be getting as much, if not more, from the other teams bidding.

well they had to outbid the jets as thats where he really wanted to go....and i read last night they blew dallas' bid out of the water

theres only a few teams in the nfl where players actively want to go other than that its the highest bidder

I don't think Lee is having problems because of age. Just a weird year - actually striking out too many and walking too many. Not hitting his spots as perfectly as usual.

I totally forgot that Moyer play. Crazy hustle by the old man. What's incredible is how much more talent (and salary) the current team has. Really hope that they can bring it home again. Not quite as confident as Randy Miller, who said the Phils were already going to win... but Pence will just make it "easy". Haha.

Could have had six in a row if he'd only struck out the pitcher.

right

im guessing oswalt is done and they just arent saying....dood has wanted to retire for the last couple years and i think his heart is not in it

so harang is insurance for him...if somehow oswalt makes it back then harang becomes a stutes insurance policy

Where in Cali?

Did you ever drop in on Big Daddy Graham while body surfing at Sea Isle?  He always talks a big game about his body surfing expertise at Sea Isle.  Love to drag his ass out to Sandy Beach on a 6 foot+ day.  Actually that would be pretty harsh on someone over 60.  shtein, it's harsh for someone in their 20's.

Huntington Beach.

Locals only in Sea Isle where I surfed.  In fact if you didn't get permission to bring someone out with you you were likely to get smacked by the older guys.  I got into a scrap when I was about 13 and got my arse beat by a high school senior, but I didn't back down so they let me stay.  The 47th street jetty was my home break but 34th street was really the best place on the island to surf especially after storms.

I rode double overhead waves there.

Pence on 97.5, talking about Grit:

QuoteI just asked him after the first game, I want to get on your program, I want to see how you prepare for a game, because being with the Astros, I always ask about the best players and try to study them a lot, I go overboard to try to pick people's brains. That's just who I am. And I heard a lot about Utley and I was like, "Hey man, what time do you get to the field? I want to see how your prepare, what you look for when you're looking at film, ya know, what you're thinking."

I was just kind of, I don't know, pestering him, really. But he was like, "I'll pick you up tomorrow, 9 AM"

I said, "I can take a cab, I'll just meet you."

"You can take a cab, but I'm going to pick you up at 9."

So I was like, alright, he's picking me up. He texted me and said, "Hey, you want a coffee?" And I said "absolutely", and there you have it.


He was just showing me the city, telling me where I could live, good places to stay, what he's done, what it's like in the city. Talked a little bit about hitting, some of his old buddies, J-Mike.

shtein, throws like that help fuel our love for Chooch but you're right Todd, he has sucked at the plate of late.

Last year was the anomaly. This year is more like the typical chooch. His average is up 20 points over the last month though.

Homer alert! LOL

Yes, Pence's numbers don't tell the whole story, but he's not exactly off to a hot start. Also, Beltran's first game with the Giants (against the Phils) ended some ridiculous streak (28?) of games on-base for him. And that's also the only game they've won with him on the team, while the Phils are 3-0 with Pence.

Let's look at something we can all agree is farging awesome, ok?

LA was riding him on both sides.

To paraphrase:  "I don't know what's a strike, and neither does Jerry Meals."

Both LA and Franzke were on him when Halladay was ruled safe.

having mr 89mph come in for his first save opportunity since forever in colorado with 14 combined runs across the board didn't strike great confidence.  he did a nice job though. if he can keep controlling that slider for a strike when needed he can still be effective even only throwing sub 90.  i still don't want him closing at this point unless something like today when no one is available.

You really should be more honest with yourself and with us. You avoid this thread when things are going well, because all the "insufferable homers" can easily win nearly any argument you try to make with them. However, when a few games go wrong, we fully expect you to come back and help us all to "keep it real".

Two losses in a row to the Giants? Yeah, that's right... You told us how much better the Giants were and how the Phils won't be able to keep up with them in the playoffs. Braves get back within 5 games? Yeah, that's right... They be creepin'. Hunter Pence 0fer PLUS a late inning bullpen collapse, coinciding with Domonic raking at AAA and a good outing by Mike Adams for the Rangers? You told us so, playa.

so it was completely obvious yet charlie rolled the dice and became a genius....and the phillies had 5 runs in six innings....but they needed to get something started...plus trying to get something started connotates taking a chance....but again he said it was an an obvious move

lol...the minute you get hit you charge the mound...he just sat there and waited to be held back

and lol at that pushing the ump...but even if you think he truly wanted to get lose when he finally did he didnt do a god damn thing...he kind of half way sort of went into the pile and then tried to talk it out some more

and where were phillies to farging blast mota in the face when he pulls their teammates helmet off

phillies are soft batch...i cant think of one player on the team that would put fear into anyone

I "get" how bad he is.  It's not like I've never heard him call a game before.  But I don't live in the area so I rarely catch the Phillies feed.  My lack of exposure may allow me to hate him a little less than you, but I still don't care for the guy.

But it wasn't really about Wheels in the first place.  It was more about the fact that about the only thing there is to bitch about with this team is Wheels because the 9 guys on the field are pretty farging good they're riding an 8 game winning streak.

Ok im on my phone going over the bay bridge so this is gonna be brief

Thanks for talking about me. Creeps. We need lives.

Park is off the charts. Fans are awful. Bitches beyond belief. Good amount of phils fans but not like a nats game. Someone put a nacho in my sweatshirt hood. Seriously.

Liked the fight...will wait for replay before I punch havas. Lots of aging hippies here.

And yes...no game tomorrow. Sunday and Monday in la instead

Listened to most of the game via Giants radio broadcast here as I was on the road all afternoon.  Jon Miller and Dave Flemming are good.  Flemming had his head so far up the bums arse it was great.  He must have called them the best & hottest team in baseball a hundred times. 

Victorino was just talking shtein until Whiteside made all "big body" and got Polanco down.  Bigger Hoyda was Lincecum acting all coked up.  farg him.

I love his tough guy comments too:
Quote"I called for a fastball inside and it was a little too far inside. It was a two-seamer," Whiteside said. "I have no comment on the fight. ... I played a little quarterback in high school."

Ooooohhh, he played quarterback! Stop the presses!

not true according to my tv guide....dc fox getting it....which is generally what happens every sat in this area....the balt fox gets one game and the dc fox gets the other

I'm happy they at least split and am not expecting a W vs. Cain or Timmy...that being said this Giants team looks a lot different from last years team. I know they really turned it on once they reached the post season but that buzz around their team seems to be faint. I think there's a decent chance they don't make the playoffs.

Just listened to some analysis of it on ESPN and MLB radio, and the national media clearly doesn't even think it was "even".

-Too much baseball left to play to call Rollins' steal of 2nd bad sportsmanship
-Bush league to bean Vic because you're pissed at losing/Rollins stealing
-Pathetic that Eli Whiteside couldn't take down Polanco
-Brawls like this are actually good for baseball and add intrigue to the game

But they're all homers. You straight gon' drop knowledges on me, bro?

I actually thought Shane showed a great deal of restraint by not charging the mound.  And Eli Whiteside might be the biggest flag in the history of the sport.   If he acts like a man instead of a teenager none of that shtein happens last night.

farg, we got it here but I missed the whole thing.  Took junior to surf, stopped off for a cup of coffee then stuck in traffic for hour and a half due to overturned cement truck on the freeway.

Got the Giants radio broadcast which wasn't to bad in the car.  Great hearing the Giants fans boo after the bottom of the eighth.

Oh yea,  shtein I was telling friends I'd be happy with a split in SF.  Taking 3 out of 4 is awesome.  Like I said we really didn't expect much today unless the bats went balistic but with Lincecum pitching that was a huge task.  Lee, Worley and Hamels performances were just simply awesome.

Bullshtein.  That icehole umpire had no farging right putting his hands on a player.  Umpires are not there to keep the peace.  It's not ice hockey.  They're there to enforce the rules.  If players are gonna starting slinging 'em they need to get the farg out of the way and let the teams settle matters themselves.

It's not in me to defend Dodger fans, but they are practically boycotting the team because of McCourt more than anything else.  Like Todd said, going to Dodger Stadium is iike going into a police state these days.  Because of the Brian Stowe beating, there's a brigade of police officers at the stadium now and a lot of people just aren't going.

Yeah, that's a good chunk of the "fanbase" that doesn't show up anymore...and good riddance to them.  But the fans are making a statement.  They want McCourt gone and they aren't going to games.  Former players are speaking out against him too.  It's actually pretty impressive if you consider that just 2 years ago, the Dodgers were in their 2nd straight NLCS.  So it's not like they haven't won under McCourt and the fans are fed up with watching a bad team.  They simply don't like the guy.

Vin is starting to slip a little.  Called Doc "Matt" a couple of times and misspoke on a few other occasions.  Still, he is the GOAT and he's forgotten more baseball than every single one of us combined will ever know.  Aside from the fact that he's literally got the most comforting voice I've ever heard from a commentator, he calls the game and you feel like you're sitting in the booth with him.  He's talking to you, not at you.  He does play by play, color and analysis all on his own.  No gimmicks, no made up or forced catch phrases during the game, although before every game he does say "It's tiiiiiiiime for Dodgers baseball" which admittedly gives me goosebumps when I hear it.  It's a shame that the Dodgers have been more bad than good over the last 25 years.  Why the networks don't use him for the WS is mind boggling.

Considering he's what, 116 years old, I'd say his slipping up on occasion is more than tolerable.  He was fantastic to listen to last night even if I was drifting in and out during the latter stages of the game.

And Dodger stadium is 50 years old.  Of course it's gonna show some wear, but it's still a baseball cathedral as far as I'm concerned.

My 17 year old son was amazed at how much personal info he had on every player. Ryan Howard's older brother is heavier than Ryan but his twin brother is taller. WTF? How does he know this? And he weaves it in to the play by play. It makes you really miss a pro like Harry, especially the old days with Whitey.

Scully called more than a few WS on TV, back in his prime. Fox has owned the WS for more than a decade now, so it's just been a steady diet of Joe Buck lately.

Before that, Scully was usually the property of CBS (which rarely had the TV rights), so they would have him do the national radio broadcast of the Series. He called the Phils 1980 WS that way.

Had some issues with my mlb.tv connection so listening to Scully on KABC.  Just told the the story about Cliff Lee and his son's battle with leukemia.  I had never heard the "rest of the story".  Listening to Scully tell it was amazing.  I'm sure he's reading it word for word from his notes but it's like he's telling you a story about a family member.

i still think contreras (sp?) comes back and contributes.  it doesn't matter that he's 88 yrs old if he's only pitched 3 1/3 innings this year.  he's begun throwing and if he comes back by september that'll be enough time to sharpen up come playoff time. and he'll be the freshest pitcher they have.

if lidge came back healthy (he and his 90 mph fastball are finished)

if stutes can buck up (not quite yet youngin)

if contreras comes back (lol sure)

big truck cant be relied to stay healthy for october. if he does fine. great. use him. but you still need someone to pitch you that 7th inning should it be there. it might not be an issue, the big 3 usually handle that. or you could extend basticho and madson a little if need be.

Howard getting consideration above Victorino would be laughable.  Victorino's slugging percentage is even higher, he's destroying him in OPS, obviously has more steals, probably still plays better D etc.

The only hitting stat that really matters is runs produced. That's the goal. OPS is cute but who cares? Runs produced is the only important stat.

Victorino 100
Howard   128

Post by: Eagles_Legendz on August 11, 2011, 12:06:37 PM
You produce runs a variety of ways. 

Victorino gets on base at a far greater clip than Howard, he hits for more average, he hits for more power, he plays better defense, and he runs the bases significantly better.  There is literally not a single thing Howard has done better this year other than hitting home runs, and even that doesn't matter because Victorino has still hit for more power (.542 SLG versus .489 SLG).

Runs produced is a real stat and it is what really matters offensively. Home runs are actually SUBTRACTED from the number. It is more important to produce runs than steal a base or hit a 2 out double and get left on base. It's that simple.

You really don't know much about baseball if you think he's had a better offensive year.

I understand what runs produced is.  It is entirely dependent on your position in the batting order and your games played.  Victorino has played 26 less games than Howard, and would probably still be higher than Howard in a stat as dependent on RBI production as that one is if he had played the same number of games.

The most important offensive statistic is the combination of getting on base AND hitting for power.  When it comes to hitters who don't rely solely on speed (and especially at positions where power is expected), OPS is the single most important offensive stat because it summarizes whether you're doing what you're supposed to well (getting on base and hitting for power).  Like I said, Victorino is doing every single thing better than Howard this year.  Ironically I like Howard more than Victorino, but they really aren't even in the same category this year.  It isn't close.  Sorry.

Post by: lurking wierdo on August 11, 2011, 12:45:58 PM
That sabermetrics shtein was valid for about an hour. It comes down to bashing balls over the fence. Howard will hit 40+ HRs, score 100 runs and Drive in 130+ runs. I can't see how that won't be in the MVP running.

The funny thing is, I am a Victorino fan. He brings a lot to the team. But, looking at an MVP, by the time it's over Howard's final numbers will put him way ahead.

Earl Weaver, who was (is) a great baseball man lived and died with great pitching and the 3 run homer.


And id you want to still choose the OPS nonsense, filter that with runners in scoring position or runners in scoring position with 2 outs. While Victorino is still solid there, Howard tops him by at least 100 points in each. Why is that you may ask? Because Ryan Howard is a run producer.

Post by: Sgt PSN on August 11, 2011, 12:55:06 PM
Through 117 games, Ryan Howard has hit 25 home runs.  Saying that he will hit 15+ in the final 45 games when he's on pace to hit 35 is pretty farging dumb.  Sure, he could get hot and get over the 40 mark (and if he does, the credit goes to Hunter Pence) but to say it as if it's a foregone conclussion shows just how dumb you really are.

Onbase % and slugging %?   You're not serious right?

Not like I'm throwing around WAR or VORP (which, for good measure, he is still dominating Howard in).

And id you want to still choose the OPS nonsense, filter that with runners in scoring position or runners in scoring position with 2 outs. While Victorino is still solid there, Howard tops him by at least 100 points in each. Why is that you may ask? Because Ryan Howard is a run producer.

Holy shtein....are you comparing hits w/risp between a guy who bats 2nd and a guy who bats 4th?  Vic has about 1/2 of the ab's w/risp than choke does.  Choke does have significantly better numbers w/risp.  However, their numbers are practically identical w/risp 2 outs.  Choke still nearly has him doubled up on ab's but the production is very similar.

No, OPS with runners in scoring position. It's a PERCENTAGE. It is not dependent on opportunities.

It's funny how the board's general disdain for Howard (Choke) colors the judgement. It's that "Philly type player" nonsense. As Victorino is viewed as a hustler and blue collar type player and Howard is not, Shane is much more respected. Even if you look at the fact that the Phil's would not have been NEARLY as successful from 2007-2010 without Howard as opposed to without Victorino you are blinded by his dirty uniform. HOMERUNS AND RBI's coupled with great pitching are what win the WS.

Dude its power and getting on base.  Its that simple.  Power isnt all home runs (see: doubles/triples etc).  Victorino has a higher slugging percentage and gets on base more.  What is so hard about that to understand?   It has nothing to do with their style of play.  I don't even find Victorino to be likeable but he is putting up an mvp caliber year.  Howard isnt.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: lurking wierdo on August 11, 2011, 01:31:40 PM
Number 1, triples are not really a power number as much as a speed number, but they do affect slugging pctg.

Number 2. Getting on base is not that important. There I said it. Getting on base situationally is.

Number 3. Being on the field counts for a lot!

Hypothetically speaking Howard could and I believe will put up:

40 HRs     130 RBI    OPS 850   Runs 90     .265 Avg

Victorino

20 HR        65 RBI     OPS 900   Runs 100   .310 Avg

Who had the better year?

There was a comment about Pence helping Howard, if that's the case, Utley is helped by Howard, so you can attribute some of his success to 6.

139    38    20    30    94    41    6    49    85    .296    .344    .531      .875

You tell me whether Player A's 19 extra RBIs and 8 extra HRs are enough to offset player B hitting for higher average and getting on base at a significantly higher rate (thus leading to more RBI opportunities etc for people behind him in the lineup---i.e. giving people the chance to drive him in).

victorino is an idiot.  not sure why you would think everyone loves vic and everyone hates howard.  just because howard can bomb the ball 5 billion feet doesn't change the fact its still only one home run.  and if you want to take away the triples that victorino gets because he's fast then you can take away some of the citizens bank special solo home runs that howard gets.

Yes, they are, and it's central to the argument

Player A's runs produced number is an impressive 203

Player B's is a not really spectacular 183.

And like I said before, being available to play counts for a ton.

and all you nerds can throw out numbers and watch the games to realize while important to the lineup, howard isn't having an mvp type season.  the lineup was ass for quite some time and is really just now hitting stride with utley back and pence in there too. but for howard to be an mvp again.. he'll have to have close to the same numbers when he was.. which is about 50 points higher batting average and what will probably amount to another 15+ home runs.  citizens bank specials welcome.  right now he isn't even mvp on the phillies.

Post by: Eagles_Legendz on August 11, 2011, 04:36:32 PM
Last comment from me: the entire run production relies extensively on teammates.  How many are on base (rbi) and who can drive you in (runs).  If you think it isn't wholly dependent on batting order you're a farging moron.  Whem Vic bats 6th, who was supposed to drive him in exactly?   

It doesn't matter.   You think rbis are more important than getting on base and slugging %.  You're wrong but that has never stopped you before so have at it.

Even though Hamels appeared as if he didn't have "it" tonight the hits he gave up were nothing special.  Lots of weak little hits that snuck through the infield and Jrolls boot.  All the walks were a concern. 4 hits against a 6 & 11 lard ass like Hernandez was the issue.

Fun facts from Crashburn Alley, who hates the RBI stat.

QuotePhillies are 12-0 when Hunter Pence gets a hit; 0-2 when he doesn't. In other news, Phillies 16-3 when Ben Francisco scores; 30-34 otherwise

The Phillies are 9213-10273 when they play baseball.

The Phillies have only had five losing streaks of two or more games all season.

Phillies are undefeated whenever Wilson Valdez pitches

Dan Uggla, 2-3, HR, BB, RBI; Raul Ibanez, 0-4, 2 RBI. Who had the better night?

Phillies are 78-0 when scoring one or more runs than their opponent.

Didn't. Twitter.

Also, Phils are 21-3 this season when Schneider starts. He has not caught Halladay and has only caught Hamels twice. (per Crasnick)

D-backs have won 3 of 4 vs the Fightins this year and very well could be the team the Phils face in the NLDS.  In fact, they would be in a "if the playoffs started today" scenario.  Maybe it's a fluke, maybe it's not but they certainly aren't scared of the Phils.

It's a response to you posting that Halladay's aura of dominance is forever gone because he blew a lead in the 9th ... in August.  When it does it in October, I'll care.

so the seasons over because his aura is gone....hardly....it makes it tougher....he will still be a really good pitcher but he wont intimidate or have other people in awe anymore....its kind of like finding out the terminator has a heart and can be killed....still will be tough to do but its lifts all his opponents spirits and confidences....especially arizona which is worse because they could be the first round opponent

I didn't get to see this game, but its not the first time halladay has blown a game. Infact its not even the first this year.

You guys need to develop other hobbies. Until October that is.

the guy had 12 Ks and was dominating after the 2nd inning, then he seemed to unravel after not getting the strike 3 call on Upton (and he said in his postgame interview he was pissed about that).  After that, single, single, zesty attempt at sac bunting, crushed XBH into the right-center gap....game over

You should probably stop posting in this thread. 

I get your point, and it makes sense to a certain degree because blah blah blah, Doc's not invincible in the 9th, blah blah blah.  But you're being your over zealous self as usual. 

In sports, no one is "perfect" and all streaks eventually come to an end.  For the last 10 years, Albert Pujols has been the best hitter in baseball.  He has a .328 career avg which means that 67.2% of the time he steps to the plate he records an out.  67% of the time Pujols does not get a hit and yet pitchers are still scared of him.  They still pitch around him and they don't want to challenge him.  So if someone who fails 67% of the time still scares the living shtein out of pitchers, do you really think that Doc's 99.9% success rate in the 9th inning of games which he has the lead suddenly has batters salivating at the opportunity to face him with the game on the line?  Uh, no....they still would rather face damn near anyone else in the league except him.

may 10 @ fla gives up a run in the 8th to lose 2-1
may 15 @ lurkins gives up a run in the 8th to lose 3-2
last year in june @ cin gives up a 2 run homer in the 8th to lose 4-3

so yea its happened before and itll happen again. mariano rivera blew 2 crucial saves (gm 7 2001 ws and gm 4 2004 alcs) and hes still marino rivera.

roy halladay blows a game in august to the daimondbacks and hes no longer roy halladay. ok.

no one is saying he wont pitch well the rest of the year but he doesnt have that extra psychological advantage he did before last night...guarantee halladay does not win more games in the playoffs than he loses

like how many middle-in fastballs did you morons want.  this is totally on the offense.

Missed the game but fast forwarded through the game this morning.  Absolutely on the offense.  Doc probably should have been pulled after Upton's hit.

For what it's worth.  Comparing the Phils to the Red Sox.  Bums are 23-23 against teams with a winning record. Red Sox are 48-34.  Obviously the Red Sox have three opponents in their own division over .500 (NYY/Rays/Blue Jays) who they are 23-11 against. 6 teams in the NL with a winning record.  9 in the AL.  Phils are 6-3 against Texas/Boston/Toronto.  Phillies are the only NL team with a winning record the Red Sox played.

Just some junk to ponder.

ill be the first to crush the offense if warranted....but last night was not on the offense...up 3-2 in the 9th either your cyborg ace pitcher or your closer has to lock it down....one of them failed massively

ive been saying all year how the phillies are just average against the other good teams

also why does it matter how many good teams the red sox have played...if anything that gives them an advantage of being battle tested...to be fair tho the red sox are clearly a better team...id be more interested to see who in the NL is above .500 against winning teams....cant imagine that there are any teams that are that much better than the phillies

So, they are the teams to beat in the NL.
The Giants may not even make the playoffs.
The Braves would have to get through a tough NLDS to face the Phils.
Phils are then a lock to at least reach the NLCS, and if they don't face the Braves, they'll win and get to the World Series.
Which they would win against any team except the Red Sox.

Do I have this straight?

they could easily beat the red sox......the best team doesnt always win...but right now the red sox would be a favorite to win in six

they should have done the right thing and sat his ass down and let dom play lf when they traded for pence.  but charlie has the most retarded veteran loyalty

I disagree with this. Mayberry is a better option vs. lefties than Dom is right now. And Raul has been solid vs. righthanders.

Dom wasn't lighting the world on fire, but he had good numbers, better than Ibanez.  he walked more, and got on base more.  I wouldve been fine with a Dom/Mayberry platoon

Post by: PhillyGirl on August 18, 2011, 08:59:31 AM
But platooning Dom wasn't going to happen. that's the only thing. They don't want that...no one in the organization wants him playing a couple of times a week. He'll never improve (especially that defense) that way.

Post by: ice grillin you on August 18, 2011, 09:17:54 AM
mayberry and dom are most likely gonna platoon next year so i dont see what the big deal would be this year

that said i would be against it this year just because dom would be completely outclassed in the post season when the opposition talent level is much greater and the stakes are much higher...plus hes a game losing fielding faux paux ready to happen and you cant have that in the playoffs

gotta live with ibanez for another two and half months but he only plays against righties

Per Hagen...

Which is why the Phillies aren't going to bury Ibanez. For one thing, Manuel has too much respect for him. For another, it's not how he operates. Most importantly, there's no real reason to. I mean, he has driven in 30 runs in his last 32 games.

Living with production like that really isn't terrible, although some might argue RBI is a meaningless stat.

And speaking of Beane, where has he been...?

Which, before his appearance tonight, gave him a Jamie Moyer start worth of scoreless innings (5-2/3).  ANd got his ERA all the way down to 4.10.  Sounds like a Dan Uggla streak to me.

ERA is a pointless stat for relief pitchers

basically since he get sent down in april he hit one rough patch (6 day lay off, 7 day lay off in the two outings) and has otherwise been great.

the AAAberry stuff is a joke at this point...im just keeping it up for karmatic purposes. he seems like a legit platoon/bat off the bench.

and herndon is actually pretty good. as i said last week he really might be above lidge and stutes by the end of september. and thats more of a knock on lights burned out lidge and not ready for primetime stutes.

Got to agree with Todd on this point that Herndon seems like he's heading in the right direction.  I am guilty as charged because I bashed him as much as anyone on this board but he has looked real good.  Stutes is starting to get the deer in the head lights look and god only knows what Lidgre has left.

And just like that Herndon strikes out the side.

Yes, it's that way on purpose.....probably some broadcasting rights or something that prevent the commentary to be provided during condensed versions online.    And that's fine by me anyway.  Don't need to hear most of those knuckleheads in the first place.

I remember a Phils-Mets game during college (around 1990-1991) that the Phils lost 14-2.  By the eighth inning, I think I was the only Phils fan left in my section.

Yeah but there were other ways that they detailed how Minny could allow him to go to a contender. I don't recall each way but basically if he said he wanted to go play for a ring then they'd try waivers first and if claimed then there are other avenues to take to make sure he ended up where he wanted to go.

lol @ getting worked up one way or the other about any one game at this point.  Nothing matters between now and October.  Lidge sucks, we knew that.  basticho is awesome.  One pitch doesn't change that.  Bullpen can be a liability.  BREAKING NEWS.

I understand being reactionary igy and you like to play the contrarian, but you take it to amazing heights in this thread.  Yes people are homers.  No this series didn't matter one bit.  You would be the first to jump down someone's throat if they were pumping their chest at the Phillies sweeping this weekend when it didn't matter, and yet you seem to care that they lost 2 out of 3.  It doesn't matter.  At all.

Post by: MDS on August 24, 2011, 03:11:56 PM
you can give 100 runs on 1 error

an error is an assumed out. if you get 2 more outs, that should have been 3. so lets say someone reaches on an error. then 2 strike outs. then 5 homers in a row. all those runs are unearned because the inning should be over, because the first batter should have been out.

Yeah, I know that.  I'm scoreboard watching on ESPN.com and the pbp explanation makes no sense.  It reads that 2 runs scored prior to Martinez' error. 

edit - I think they're having some technical issues with the site because the box score keeps changing everytime it auto-refreshes.  It's 7-3 one minute then 0-0 in the 1st, then 4-3 in the 2nd, etc, etc.

how many did they score without him yesterday? let him flail wildly and take strike 3 looking. good times.  you can tell in his body language before he even gets in the batters box that he's lost.  maybe one day he'll learn to stand a bit closer to the plate and smack one of those outside pitches to the open left side of the field.  but i guess bitching at the umpire, huffing and puffing and having his donovan mcnabb like smirk after watching strike 3 go by like the outer half of the strike zone doesn't apply to him will get him a few more points on the batting average some day.

The Indians got the waiver claim on Thome but Rosenthal says his preference is to come back here instead.  So we have the Indians and Phillies competing for Thome's services, and the Marlins are in town during a hurricane.  Ah memories...
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on August 25, 2011, 01:53:05 PM
the only way he can come back is for him to be given his unconditional release...correct? which means the twins get nothing for him.

and i remember that hurricane game, 2003 i believe. thome with the 8th inning shot and rheal cormier with the save. remember when we all thought they could make the playoffs with rheal cormier as the closer? that actually happened.

Yup, and he can block a move to any team, but if he does, he forfeits his salary for the rest of the year (about $500K).  Also you'd have to deal with the rest of the teams getting pissed off and complaining to Bud.  As for the Twins getting nothing, the Phils could probably work out some separate deal.  Give em Kendrick for $1 or something after the season ends...


btw Sunday's game was moved to Saturday 1PM, so it'll be a day-night DH with Halladay and Lee.  Eat it Marlins

What right do other teams have to be pissed off? Thome has a no-trade clause, and he knows where he wants to go. It's not as if the Phillies are tampering. It's all on Thome and he's playing by the rules to do whatever the farg he wants

QuoteMore trouble for Lenny Dykstra -- this time the troubled baseball great has been charged with indecent exposure for allegedly whipping out his dong for women he met on Craigslist.

According to the L.A. City Attorney, Lenny allegedly went to Craigslist and posted ads for a personal assistant or housekeeping services ... but when the women arrived, Dykstra would "inform the women that the job also required them to give a massage and would expose himself to them."

Officials say Dykstra pulled the XXX bait and switch at least 6 times.

If convicted, Dykstra -- who's already in custody in L.A. on a MYRIAD of federal and state charges for allegedly doing all sorts of other bad stuff -- could face even more jail time.

An arraignment is scheduled for September 7.

neither of you know basic baseball scoring i guess

on a flyball, no matter how routine, if its untouched its a hit. misplays and lost in the lights/sun all go as hits. its part of the reason average is such a pointless, random stat.

They'll quote you stats like ops and vorp then explain to you why they are a more valuable tool to go by then BA. Personally I always look at BA/HR/RBI/SB/2B then strike outs when evaluating a player.

But slugging percentage can be skewed by the scorekeepers too...A guy might reach 2nd on what could be an error, but is scored a double, or vice versa....which then skews OPS....which then makes it useless!

Batting average doesn't matter now?  Thats good to know.

If you talk to the real stat nerds aka seamheads they'll tell you how little relevance batting avg. has. They'll quote you stats like ops and vorp then explain to you why they are a more valuable tool to go by then BA. Personally I always look at BA/HR/RBI/SB/2B then strike outs when evaluating a player.

wOBA is actually not a bad seamhead stat.  each thing to get on base has a different weight so homeruns don't count the same as singles when calculating how often you get on base

You're right.  Ben Francisco, John Bowker & Ross Gee-load are definitely better options than a former All Star Gold Glover who's excellent at the minimum as a defensive replacement.

defensive replacement for who?

do you honestly think there is a single difference between ibanez and rowand in the field? mayberry is better of course.

he crashed into a wall like 6 years ago. get over it. hes old and he sucks and getting him is nothing more than a pr nostalgia move which i am all for.

Does it even qualify as nostalgia?  He was a Phillie for a couple years and played well and the Phils didn't make the postseason.  Bringing back Burrell would be nostalgic.  Bringing back Rowand would be meaningless.

charlie hasnt taken ibanez out for defense once this season. hes not going to do it for farging rowand. who again is old and washed up.

when you give up 2 ER's in 36 consecutive innings is pretty much the only time you get a pass on that.  i'm hardly defending not hustling but it looked like he got it in on the hands which doesn't feel too good, so as a pitcher i'm not going to crucify him.  if it was joe blanton.. then i hope he gets sniped with plague arrows.

the problem with Howard is there are two extremes with him.  people criticize him unfairly, and then others go too far in his support.  People who say he doesn't work are farging dumb.  He obviously works and he's gotten to be a pretty good defender (when you don't make him throw the ball).  On the other side, people who say they don't care that he can't hit/hasn't learned how to hit left handed pitching and walks far less than he should (yes getting on base is important in baseball) just because he drives in runs are dumb as well.  People should be able to note that he makes more money than he should without blaming him for making that much.  Should be able to appreciate him for what he is without claiming he should win the MVP every year because he has a lot of RBIs or that he sucks because of the things that he doesn't do well.

Didn't see the game but looking at the box score, it looks like he was a little Jeckyl and Hyde. 

7 k's in 6.1 IP, but also gave up 8 hits.  Only 1 walk though, so he was obviously pounding the strike zone.  But the 8 hits would indicate that he either wasn't locating his pitches or didn't have consistant movement on them.

Also, I'm pretty sure this can't be correct, but on the standing page on ESPN right now, they have the Phils playoff chances at 100%.....which would indicate that they've already secured a playoff spot.  Is that right?  I thought the magic number was somewhere around 10 or 12?

Just trying to work it out in my head:

Phillies 88-46 -  28 Games Left
Giants/Cards 73-65 17 GB 24 Games Left (2nd place Wild Card teams)

The MOST either team (Giants or Cards) can get is 97.  So as long as the Phils go at least 10-18 they're guaranteed a spot in the playoffs - and that's with one of them going 24-0.

Short story:  Looks like you're right.  Magic number at 10.

I thought I saw someone post yesterday or the day before that the number was 12, but that was before last night's games which the Phils won and the creepins lost, which would knock that down to 10.  So yeah, guess that makes sense.  Not sure how ESPN has them as a 100% lock then, especially since they don't have them annotated as actually having a playoff spot.

Im sorry the big black guy who strikes out all the time and never produces runs has to stay will the slender, trim black guy who has had 2 impressive months will remain in a reserve role.

Without Howard, this team doesn't win 88 games before Labor Day.

NO! His WAR is only like 1, so obviously if you put any other bum from the minor leagues into his line up spot, they would win just as many games and that guy would also get 130 RBI!

So this weekend is the Phils' last visit to the empty square stadium where the Dolphins play, and other than Halladay's perfect game and that 10-run 9th six years ago, it's pretty much sucked there.  Barajas not blocking the plate....Uggla's grand slam off Tom Gordon....Myers blowing out his arm....everything about 2003...

Good riddance.

Salisbury adds to your list...

yea weve been through this a million times before. he doesnt suck, he just one of those guys everyone hates for whatever reason (kendrick being another). not that hes amazing or anything, but like most pitchers, hes prone to the blow up and when its bad its really bad like it was yesterday. hes going to play a big role in the pen next year, youre going to have to get over it. 

i kind of half joked he might replace lidge and stutes and the main rh set up man, obviously thats taken a step back. and that hole is kind of a problem.

the question is did the umps have the jurisdiction to call that via the replay? as i understand the replay is in there for either home run or not a home run. they can determine that that wasnt a homer...but i dont think they can say oh by the way we didnt call it on the field but that was fan interference and youre out, hunter.

Stutes has to go for awhile...all thats left are ODB and Madson

im not exactly sure how they have this few pitchers with the roster expansion. plus odb has to be unavailable.

its stutes for 2 then herndon until they get a lead. yea. not a great plan.

and valdez is out of the game, so he cant even pitch.

Wheels said that they have not brought up the extra players because they want the minor league teams to do well. So to help the ML teams in their playoffs or whatever they eschew the possibility of helping the big club. Righto.

Havas - YES....MikeMike scores if Grit gets him over

Absolutely on the offense.  Lots of chances to win today.  Grit had a great series.  Lucky they weren't swept.  Friday night was a rabbit out of the ass due to all the Marlins miscues.

How was McCarthy's comment about how the Brewers with the exception of the Cardinals are playing a bunch of teams that have cashed in the season?  Hey Tom, bums just playEd the Nats, Reds and Marlins.  Two of which cashed it it on the 4th of July and the other with the white flag half way up the pole.

Victorino was a Rule 5 pickup from the Dodgers.  Hey ask me anything about Maui Boy.  Just read the Flyin Hawaiian book.  First half was actually quite interesting.  Back half was a lot of 2008/2009/2010 play by play recap.  Picked it up at Borders couple of weeks ago at the fire sale.

Actually the Padres claimed him the first time the Dodgers left him unprotected in the Rule 5 draft.  They gave him back to LA the next season.

He was a 6th round draft choice of the Dodgers in 1999.

Thoughts on Worley last night? I was impressed with how he got himself out of jams when he clearly didn't have his best stuff (and the HPU was a piece of shtein with that horrendous strike zone).

What do they do with him in the playoffs?

i would think that Oswalt gets the first look at #4.  Worley would be long man ready to go if Oswalt doesn't get the job done.

Post by: PhillyGirl on September 07, 2011, 08:08:30 AM
I think the best thing about Worley, so far, has been the ability to not get rattled when something goes wrong. He's like the anti-Hamels (when Hamels first started). He's always cool in there and that speaks volumes for the playoffs.

Post by: charlie on September 07, 2011, 08:59:49 AM
Worley's going to be the long man most likely. Worley's going to hit a wall at some point, as of right now this is his longest season to date and there could still be two months left.

I don't care what the pundits say... Worley is definitely deserving of ROY votes.  A lot of them too.

Post by: Sgt PSN on September 07, 2011, 10:56:29 AM
They hit on this last night during the game and that the fact that Kimbrel and Freeman both play on the same team may end up benefiting Worley in the ROY voting since the 2 of them may end up stealing votes from each other.

And Worley has been all but unbeatable as a starter.

A case could be made for any of the three, Munson.

Like I said, he will and should get a few votes. But Kimbrel is averaging over 1.5 K's per inning. That's a ridiculous (and historic, if I'm not mistaken) rate.

It would seem to me to be pretty easy to see what babip is.  Just subtract the number of strikeouts from the total at-bats before doing the division. Unless they don't count foul-outs either.

I never once said Kimbrel shouldn't win.  He's clearly the favorite.  What I've said repeatedly is Worley deserves serious consideration.  Whether that's a second place vote or a third place vote I don't know.

Suggesting his season has been the result of luck or run support is flat-out stupid, though.    ERA, K's, WHIP are all among league leaders especially for rookies. 

Whatever, though.  Arguing with someone who clearly can't even bother to take five seconds to research basic stats is pointless.

Phils use closer in tie game in 9th
Braves save closer for possible save situation
Oopsies!

Phils used Madson in the 9th because they were the home team.  Braves saved Kimbrel for whenever they get the lead.  Baseball 101 son.

damn you

Kimbrel obviously hadn't pitched in a while. At some point you have to unzip the fly and show your dingus.

That would have been fine if the Braves were up in the 9th and they just wanted to get the guy some work, even if they had a 4+ run lead.  But in a tie game, home team sends their closer out in the top of the 9th, visiting team saves their closer in case they get the lead.

it's late, so i can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not (i think you are but i've decided not to care and will respond as if you're being serious), but Ruiz' average alone is higher than Martinez' OBP and almost higher than Valdez' OBP.  The order flows pretty well when everyone is healthy, but it frustrates me that he refuses to move someone who has a .370+ OBP up in the order instead of valdez or martinez.
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: MDS on September 08, 2011, 01:12:27 AM
what order do you want

do you want ruiz hitting 5th or 2nd or something
Title: Re: 2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (wahhhh, best team in baseball!)
Post by: Eagles_Legendz on September 08, 2011, 01:16:17 AM
I want Ruiz to get more at bats than Valdez or Martinez because he is approximately 540 times the hitter that they are and he should be getting more at bats than either in every game they play in.  Where he bats doesn't matter to me so long as it's more than they bat.

Assuming Utley and Rollins both are out, my order is:

Victorino
Polanco
Pence
Howard
Ibanez/Mayberry
Ruiz
Valdez
Martinez
pitcher

I'd actually consider swapping Polanco and Ruiz in the order in general since Ruiz hits for the same average but gets on base at a significantly higher rate and they hit for equal power, but that doesn't really matter for the purposes of whether or not he should be batting ahead of either martinez/valdez.

Post by: Eagles_Legendz on September 08, 2011, 01:36:33 AM
I know why he'll do it.  Doesn't make it right.  But it is largely irrelevant.  I'm just amused whenever I see martinez bat higher in the order than Ruiz, who has become one of their better offensive players.

Schwimer would be best because it would take a lot of balls to charge him...he's 6'8 and would crush Morgan. Herndon wouldn't even be able to hit him. He'd miss.

I didn't see what Morgan did.

hes also batting like .315 since jimmy went on the DL and i dont know exactly what his slugging has been but i bet its upwards of .550

both him and martinez have pedestrian numers overall but hen filling in for an injured player versus spot starting they are much better as youd expect when a player gets consistent ab's...martinez is hitting like .210 but hit .268 when he filled in for polly

QuoteThe Philles' run differential in 50 games since the All-Star break: 264 to 164. Outscoring their opponents by exactly two runs per game.

But will it matter now that basticho's aura is damaged?

Some of the predictions made in this thread are really comical.

Jonnycakes got lambasted for predicting 101 wins and that looks like a pretty significant understatement at this point. 

This team has been better than advertised which, considering the hype that surrounded them when they signed Lee, is fairly incredible.

yup, basticho is finished. cooked. done. youre right. 2 out of his 3 appearances have been poor so obviously thats it. ok.

stutes isnt someone they can rely on now, no. lidge has actually been pretty good though and hes the rh set up man. hold your breath with him in but its him not stutes.

madson is not a world class closer but several teams have won world series without lights out closers.

now lets double down or 25 on phils making nlcs, then double that again for the series, then again to win.

even before getting burned out i never believed in the odb thought he was pitching way over his head and would be exposed in the playoffs...the important thing to remember here is that their sp is so good that they could win a world series only needing to have the bullpen not completely blow games....but if they get in an inordinate amount of close games or need to protect/hold 1 run leads in the 7th 8th or 9th they are gonna be hurtin

its really on their offense...if they dont go into one of their patented two week dead zones they should win it all

Yeah, that 2.62 ERA in the last month was troubling to me, too!  ;D

I know what you mean, though.  He has struggled with some control issues (for Halladay, anyway).  The giving up of the game in the 9th made things look worse than it really was.

Hopefully once the Phils clinch home field, Cholly gives these guys something of a blow before the playoffs.  Maybe only pitching 7 innings rather than 9.  :D

"Then he dropped the hammer . . . Chuck said, 'I expect to lose top prospects the way the big club is structured right now. That's my job. Develop 'em and wave 'em goodbye. But we have been shot at and hit two straight years. It's also my job to see we draft and sign players who can sustain us at the high level we've been at during this great run. But the well is dry, gentlemen. My bonus budget this year was just $5 million. We can't compete with aggressive clubs that are spending three times that. We failed to sign a number of late-round picks with college commitments because we could not pay enough over slot. We're not even competing with the Pirates or Nationals, and in a few years the talent coming into our division is going to bite us in the butt . . . '

As long as they continue to sell out management will continue to invest in talent meaning they have time to develop minor league talent. It's seriously the last thing to worry about at this point and they still do have decent talent in the lower levels.

HowEVA I was listening to Gargano and Macnow the other day and some Brewer fan comes on the line. Somehow this guy is a fan of them but is from Philly. I didn't think that was possible, but anyways this guy says theyre going to work the Phils over because of the middle of the lineup and because the fanbase will be amped up because they haven't won since 1982.

The phillies are giving off days to everyone and this guys talking like it's October 21st. And who cites the fanbase as a reason why they would win?

but zolecki, salisbury are legit beat guys who make a good living and know their shtein. stark nationally is inside the circle, too.

and my goodness is igy inching toward angry old man rome territory with twitter. theres of course a lot of shtein on there but its a decent way to pump out little bits of info so long as the source its coming from is legit. for example i used twitter to show a pic of a new scoreboard for one of the teams i cover when i was out there early in the week. its a minor thing thats not worth article space but the fans of that school liked seeing the scoreboard before the first game last friday.

It was good hustle by Ibanez on the double.  Hart did a good job keeping the ball in front of him, and by rights and Ibanez' speed it should have been a single, but Rauuuuuuuuuuuul read it perfectly.

all these pissant beat writers also hate conlin and try to make a name off him...there really is no such thing as beat writers anymore...because papers have no money they pay this trash like 18k a year to twitter....how else are they gonna make a name...it certainly isnt by breaking their own story...its gonna be by tweeting something false or going after the king

but im sure lamar just woke up that morning and felt like leaving the best team in the majors and giving up on world championship and riding in a parade because he doesnt like cheesesteaks...

I wonder how much they pay the beat writers?

Todd- any idea?

95% of beat writers these days are one bad break away from covering girls high school soccer in brownsville texas....it why on the surface youd think the lil guys choice of career would be a joke since hes half illiterate but in reality he has a chance because if the price is right they will higher a labradoodle to cover a team these days

its obviously dependent on market and writer but anywhere from high 30's to mid 50's

someone like gelb is prob on the low end while salisbury is solidly in the 50's, maybe even 60's since he also does tv work.

Jeez- really? Thats it even for a higher end guy?

havent i been clear that its a terrible profession? the hours suck, the pay sucks, the industry is crumbling. its terrible.

but i honestly have no other talents and am barely good enough to do this so what are my other options. oh, suicide. not yet. the entourage finale is tomorrow.

someone like simmons probably makes over a mil, espn people rake it in since they do print and web. there is money to be made in this job its just few and far between. however we do get paid to watch sports for a living, for me thats small mexicans playing football, but sports nonetheless.

Even then, they'll want to keep the staff in the proper alignment.  I'd say shorter starts, and don't look Halladay in the eyes when you take him out in the 6th.

they wont change anything until they clinch best record, which i suppose is roughly a week away

once that happens theyll set up to go halladay, lee, hamels, oswalt and their starts will turn into spring training starts--50/60 pitch counts, 3-5 innings and done.

there's absolutely nothing awful about baltimore as the road trip

in fact its pretty much the perfect road trip....its a bigger takeover than even dc and its in an awesome stadium

oh and the stadium is ten minutes from the cribbo

Count me IN for the Baltimore game. Agreed...perfect roadie...it's within driving distance and the stadium is unreal. Haven't been there in 15 years.

Maybe by then they'll have a Wire bus tour we can go on.

5-9 in this afternoon's lineup is Ibanez/Orr/Schneider/Martinez/Kendrick.  Combine that with choke being choke and they aren't scoring more than 1 run on Sanchez.....which means they'll probably put up double digits

In a weird way the loss helps the Phils.  Keeps the pressure on Atlanta (St. Louis now just 3½ games behind for the wild card) and makes them keep pressing on with their top players and pitchers.  Still hated to see the loss, though.

Schwimer pitched two games in a row - probably not the ideal situation for the kid.  ODB and his new penchant for giving up the long ball worry me, though.

Post by: MDS on September 17, 2011, 12:32:03 PM
ODB was out of his mind for 5 months. its about time things caught up with him.

hes not a hall of fame, other wordly pitcher like the numbers he was putting up. instead of these runs coming sporadically over the season they are coming right now.

I don't think I've actually seen this Bowker guy actually hit a fair ball yet.

EDIT:  I had to look it up.  He's hit the ball fair twice in 8 ABs.  0-8, 6K, 0BB

If he were a horse, he'd be glue by now.

Using the normal magic # rule (163-Phils W-Brewers L), it's 2, but the Phils own the head-to-head tiebreaker 4-3 over Milwaukee, so it's really 1...

I don't care if St. Louis has everything to gain and the Phils have nothing to lose.  Losing three of four to those iceholes is unacceptable, especially considering their offense looked horrendous in 98 percent of the innings played.

I'm fine with getting everyone healthy and getting the pitching rotation squared away and the bullpen rested, but goddamn it, start hitting the farging ball already.

You realize if the cardinals catch the braves, they're going to be here next week for the NLDS. There is/was no reason to make even the slightest attempt to win this game or series.

Although it would be nice to see Manual become the winningest manager in phillies history, if for no other reason it angers the fans who think they know more than he does.

The lineups in this afternoon's game are pathetic.

For the Phils, no Jimmy, no grit, no choke, no Polanco, no Chooch, no Raul, Kendrick is starting and the catcher is Erik Kratz.

For the Nats, no Zimmerman, no Werth, no Morse, no Ramos, Steve Lombardozzi Jr is playing and Tom Milone is starting.

Here's the Phils lineup if you need a laugh:
Victorino
Valdez SS
Mayberry 1B
Pence
Francisco
Kratz
Orr 2B
Martinez 3B
Kendrick

QuoteAlthough the Phillies have scored more than three runs only once in their last 11 games, nobody at One Citizens Bank Way seems concerned about a return to the offensive sluggishness that marked the first few months of the season and led to the trade that netted Pence. They have spent the last 3 months as one of the National League's most prolific offenses, despite a litany of nagging injuries that have sidelined Howard, Utley, Rollins, and Placido Polanco for various stretches of time.

it means im 10 steps ahead of you

the pitcher pickup bonanza only gets you wins (maybe) and k's....and i only overload if i need to. i needed to on sunday and it might have won the week for me. right now with what youre doing youre gonna dig a hole in ERA, WHIP and losses so if you dont dominate on offense that might be it.

No idea other than I guess they thought he'd had his chances in the past and they wanted to give someone else a shot. I don't think he is on the 40 man so they would have had to make a move to get him up. Plus I have read they think this Kratz dude may have a shot to be Ruiz's backup next year

I would have liked to have seen Tuffy Gosewich called up from Reading for a cup of coffee.

Tuffy and Grit? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit!

Quotebasticho has allowed six earned runs in his last 3 1/3 innings over six appearances. He had allowed only five earned in his previous 35 1/3 innings over 37 appearances

WTF has happened to him?  He was pitching like a possessed man up until a month ago.  Thought we had our next closer in the making.  I still think he's the real deal.

grit was awesome in the playoffs last year, so you gotta like the trend. him and howard were just straight money, big reason why they won the world series.

and if you can't tell im being sarcastic. they were awful and its why they lost to the giants. yet no one seemed to call them out because aside from fat racist guys hating choke they both have free passes to shtein all over the field if they so choose.

ding ding ding ding

even if he was a legit SU man hes not going to be sub-1 ERA good. pitchers HAVE to give up runs at some point and hes more than due for those hard hit balls to find gaps instead of being hit right at people.

Yes, Fatty was scheduled for only two innings.  He pitched fine as did Herndon.  Pence dropped the easy third out on a Willy Harris pop up to deep right center.  He should have caught it.

i literally haven't watched any baseball since the clincher last saturday until i caught some of the earlier part of the game at the bar during the iggs abortion.

how did they wind up giving up 4? is the bullpen still shteinting the bed?  i know it is what it is at this point.. but i wish basticho would get his shtein together somewhat. he doesn't have to be lights out but at least be serviceable being the only lefty available.  there's not alot of room for error in the playoffs and we all know chuckles tendency to stick with his players.  that could spell disaster in a short division series.  hopefully the horses chew up innings and they don't have to worry about it.

basticho started the 7th.  His line


1/3 inning 3 hits 3 runs 1k

Poor guy has just lost it.  Worley finished the seventh and gave up a run in the 8th.  He could be a big asset out of the bullpen in the playoffs.

I worry a bit about their on-again off-again offense against playoff-calibre teams. And the Phils will need Halladay-Lee-Hamels to go at least 7 every time so they don't overexpose the thin bullpen.

Madson I'm fairly confident in. Lidge I'll have to hold my breath.  I have little faith in El basticho or Stutes at this point.  Worley may be more valuable in the bullpen than he would be as the #4.

Just looked it up, and that's actually really close.

On Jul 30, the day of the trade, the Astros had won 35 games.  The Phils had won 67. 

So if the Phils finish up the season with 102 wins, then he'll have been with each team for exactly 35 wins.  FASCINATING!

I think they'll give Hamels an inning or two to keep his arm loose.  I think he'll be the #3.

Good to see Oswalt dealin'.  Even better to see El basticho look more like his midseason self.

Blanton gets the "start" tomorrow.  Host of others to follow.  Maybe hoping for the playoff with St. Louis?

QuoteJimmy Rollins finds the prospect of free agency "exciting," and the shortstop told SI's Jon Heyman, "Five [years] would be great.  Five would be the number."  Rollins, however, guesses the number of years will be the sticking point in upcoming negotiations.

Rollins, 33 in November, is hitting .271/.340/.403 with 16 home runs in 624 plate appearances this year.  His defense continues to be a positive.  A pair of executives gave Heyman contract estimates ranging from three years and at least $12MM per year to four years and $14MM annually.  I think five years is unrealistic even on the open market, but at least one team would commit to four.  Rollins' only real competition will be Jose Reyes, who figures to get at least five years and $18MM per season.

As I showed yesterday, it appears that the Phillies can afford Rollins without raising their payroll.

I bet he ends up taking a 4yr deal.

I just like the fact that the Phils are wearing the Braves out.  The rotation is set and rested and the position players all got some rest during the 8 game skid, so this extra inning game shouldn't affect them at all. 

It'd be pretty awesome to drag this out a little more, lose and send a worn out Atl team to StL tomorrow to play #163.

unless the phils win it all they are no better than the braves...in fact you can even make the argument that if the philies dont win it all its a worse finish than the braves...especially with the red sox collapse....theres no good teams left except for the phillies

there was a great line in the sports illustrated piece that ive been preaching pretty much since they beat tampa.....

"The Yankees have 27 World Series and we've got two in 100-some years? And the last one was against Tampa—that's not even a big-boy championship! We've got to win one more World Series, we've got to beat New York or Boston—or it isn't heaven. It's just purgatory."


its dumb to say it would be purgatory if they won another ws but you cant underplay how important uit would be for them to beat the yanks to win it all this year

and god forbid they dont win it all this year i have to imagine it will be the single greatest sports disappointment of my life and im not sure id ever get over it....flyers in 87 would be a close second...still trying to work that one out of my system

I don't see how you can "question" tactics when it involves two sweeps of a division rival. Clinching the division with 20 games left, and having the best regular season in your franchise history.

So, if they happen to lose to the cardinals, there's going to be a lot of people suggesting they should have just lost more games?

The holdup is likely due to conflicts with the Philly complex (Temple on Saturday afternoon, Eagles on Sunday) and the Buccaneers hosting Indy the same time the Rays are supposed to host the Rangers, even though the stadiums aren't near each other...

the nfl and college football schedules just came out?

on saturday, the yankees have to be at 600. the brewers/rangers will get a 930 start.

it just depends on whether the phillies start first (noon/100) or get the middle game (230ish). of course there probably has to be a random, fourth tnt game that could start at any point.

on sunday i dont see how they arent the 730/830 primetime game. no one gives a crap about brewers/dbacks.

I know Temple gets like 2000 fans, but that would be a traffic nightmare if the Phils game started around the same time.  At least there's nothing at Wells Fargo for the next week...

actually it wouldnt be a nightmare as there has been about a 1000 days of events in the sports complex that have produced more people than a temple phillie game and they have not been nightmares...its laughable to even think that would be the reason for the delay

but for sake of argument lets just say that is the reason...they have known temple was playing at the linc that day for months...the morons in the mlb office should have had every possible scenario set up last weekend

temple is offering a deal if you have phils ticket to get in temple game for like 5 bucks or something. they are playing toledo, its going to be brutally boring and empty.

logic says the phils are locked in for a 230/330 start. the hold up might be the fourth game (again would be tnt and would get a random start time) and who gets the late game, either milwaukee or texas.

whatever they decide i want an afternoon game. farg i need one. i have to work sat night.

Yes...however, there are a limited number of match ups that you could get.  I'm with you on this argument.....a week ago when the WC races really tightened up the league/networks should have been ironing out all of the potential scenarios so that a schedule was in place for any outcome and could have released it once the match ups were set.

Going into last night, you had all of the following possibilities:

Phillies vs Brewers / Diamondbacks vs Braves / Yankees vs Tigers / Rangers vs Red Sox
Phillies vs Brewers / Diamondbacks vs Braves / Yankees vs Tigers / Rangers vs Rays
Phillies vs Brewers / Diamondbacks vs Braves / Yankees vs Rangers / Tigers vs Red Sox
Phillies vs Brewers / Diamondbacks vs Braves / Yankees vs Rangers / Tigers vs Rays

If we get them head-to-head, we like our chances. We've beaten their big three [starting pitchers Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels].

anyone who knows anything about larussa knew he was gonna change up...i personally thought garcia would end up pitching game 1 but carpenter in game two makes sense as he can pitch a game 5 now if needed since there is an extra day off btwn 4 and 5...he knew what he was doing the whole time hes just being tony larussa....he did the same thing in 2000 with darryl kyle and rick ankiel

phillie career splits vs lohse

jimmy 5-27 .185
grit 4-24 .167
pence 13-41 .317
choke 8-16 .500
braindead 5-24 .208
polanco 10-28 .357
ibanez 9-33 .273
chooch 5-20 .250

btw i was up in the middle of the night last night couldnt sleep and was thinking about this....as much as we have all destroyed him over the last two years...lets give it up for ibanez....dooks is 39 years old and was still second on the team in rbi (pence doesnt count)....the guy is the ultimate professional never ever complains and is great for the clubhouse...i think its safe to say that grit or choke could only dream at 38 and 39 years old to be doing what raul has done

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20111001_Danys_Baez_mentors_Antonio_basticho_-_again.html

QuoteFellow countryman Jose Contreras told Baez he thought it would be a good idea to contact basticho. Baez was hesitant to interfere, but reprised his role as mentor a week ago and texted the 25-year-old lefty.

"Are you tired?" Baez typed. "Are you fine?"

"My slider is not working right now," basticho responded.

So Baez started watching all the video he could find on basticho. He compared basticho's delivery at different points in the season. He took notes and relayed them to basticho.

"I saw him do a lot of things wrong with his mechanics," Baez said.

Baez, who posted a 5.81 ERA in two seasons as a Phillies reliever, pointed to basticho's hand and glove positioning before he began his motion. At first, his hands were slower than the rest of his body, and that forced him to rush at the most crucial moment. His slider was rendered useless.

"I remembered what he was doing before," Baez said. "Little things make him get in the right position."

basticho remains a shy figure in the Phillies clubhouse. With success, his confidence grew. But some teammates pointed to Baez's influence as a major factor in basticho's becoming comfortable with life as a major leaguer.

Now, Baez may have offered one final favor. Maybe all basticho needed was a familiar refrain from his mentor. Maybe it's all mental.

"He will be big for them in the playoffs," Baez said.

And he'll be watching from Miami with his two daughters, hoping his words play a small role in a championship for his former team.

QuoteFellow countryman Jose Contreras told Baez he thought it would be a good idea to contact basticho. Baez was hesitant to interfere, but reprised his role as mentor a week ago and texted the 25-year-old lefty.

"Are you tired?" Baez typed. "Are you fine?"

"My slider is not working right now," basticho responded.

So Baez started watching all the video he could find on basticho. He compared basticho's delivery at different points in the season. He took notes and relayed them to basticho.

roy throws albert 4 breaking balls out of the zone, clearly wanting no part of them, then comes in with a first pitch attack fastball to berkman, who is more than ready for it

Yes, but its a short series, so stupid shtein can happen in a short series like Halladay giving up his second multi-run homer of the year.

theyre gonna have to PH for him in the 6th or 7th...on top of hoping the offense can grit back you have to hope they can get 9-12 outs out of the pen.

Just turned the game on.  farging eye exam I couldn't cancel this morning.  He actually had a tv in the lobby but I went in just before first pitch. Walked out and my wife said "you may want to stay in there"

What's infuriating is no farging radio here, both Brewers and bums.  My buddy called the local ESPN affiliate and ripped the poor dude who answered the phone a second icehole.

no give a flying farg about your radio situation

Me fail English, that's unpossible.

I'm such a zealot! I think I posted in one of the No Hippo threads 6 months ago and you're still harping about it. 

Keep posting that the series is over in the 5th inning of game 1.

No, and he won't based on defense alone.  Offensively, I do think Howard is a slightly better hitter, but he also plays in a more hitter friendly park and many of the other parks today are hitter friendly as well now that all of the big, multipurpose stadiums are all gone. 

Howard has had some big post seasons though.  But Schmidt has a WS MVP to his credit.  I'd be curious what Schmidt's post season numbers would have looked like if he had the luxury of playing under the modern format.

Remember the dude sitting behind home plate in Denver when the bums clinched the 2009
NLDS against the Rockies?  The guy with the eye patch.  We were all excited when Werth drove in Choke and they cut to a shot of the scruffy looking guy with the eyepatch all bummed out.  Thought it was you Sarge who pointed him out.

Is the biggest loser at the game the guy with sunglasses on??? They just showed him standing up behind home plate.

I have a hard time saying anyone who scored playoff tix behind home plate is a loser.  Except that fun hole chick from last year who was the most awful fan I've ever seen in the stands.

He was the definiton of Jersey... Designer sun glasses on at night...

Dammit Hunter. 

Howard going to hit another bomb?

Did Stockton say bunt py Pence?

They could trade Matthews and Coleman straight up for Willis and Hairamalu and it would still be a footnote in the sports section. 

And good gawd, the ball girl in right is awful.  I've seen her go after 2 or 3 balls with her feet and her non glove hand while keeping her glove tucked in her side.

That's pretty much the book on Lee and Halladay all the time.  They're so often around the plate that you may as well swing.

Not sure what he's bitching to the ump about or if it's just trying to get the ump to give him the benefit of the doubt on some pitches. Umps have been very fair with the strike zone.

Who the farg is giving Lee a free pass??? He didn't pitch well tonight.  Should have came out after the 6th.  Doesn't help that they changed the strike zone when drunkie started crying.

Your schtick is almost worse than Igy's.

hes the golden boy do nothing wrong i go a month without giving up a run ace and he gagged away a 4-0 lead

the phillies are only going to win on the backs of their starting pitching and when this happens you can pretty much write it off. they arent build to win like this. sure they might do it but halladay bombing in the first and lee sucking today = bad, bad sign.

Cholly should have had him on a short lease given the amount of hits he was giving up.

The team got good so it became trendy to go to the ballpark.  Crabfries and status updates (Like MDS mentioned) are more important than being a knowledgable fan. 

I was grabbing a snack and thought we had a big hit tonight only to realize the crowd was orgasming over a pop-up.

lol @ this city

people are killing manuel for leaving lee in. like he was supposed to go to noodle arm brad lidge or playoff veteran worley or out of gas old dirty.

do you people not understand how they are supposed to win. the starting pitching is lights outs. the offense puts together a few runs. if madson is needed he shuts the door.

thats it, thats the list. they win like that or its over in 3 days. they arent winning a battle of the pens and they are winning a shootout. they dont have that kind of team.

so far halladay gave up a 3 run bomb before the playoffs started but the offense managed to get it back. then the offense spots lee a 4 run lead and he gives it back.

so really the formula is 0-2 since neither pitcher truly did what they needed to do. and in game 3 cole needs to be perfect because they are not gonna touch garcia.

this could legit get real bad. and im not even sure how big the advantage is oswalt vs. edwin jackson. on paper if they can get it back to philly for game 5 (halladay vs. either lohse or carpenter again on 3 days) they should win that.

You are on fire tonight.  This is it, plain and simple.  Cole has to be not just good but damn good.  I'll take Halladay in a game 5 any day.

I'm still farging so pissed about what transpired earlier tonight.  Screw the Eagles and that train wreck. Cliff Lee pitched like shtein.  That's what really has me fuming. 12 hits are 12 hits.  Doesn't matter if they were little bloopers or balls that just snuck through, he got lite up.  Christ he was lucky the first two weren't in the seats.  His last three post season starts have not been very good. 

Brace yourself people because this could get ugly.

QuoteSince reaching the 2010 Fall Classic with the Rangers, Lee has not seen much success in the postseason. In his past three postseason starts, Lee is 0-3 with a 7.13 ERA. He went 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA in his first eight postseason starts.

Lee tied a career high with 12 hits allowed in Sunday night's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals

if it goes five carpenter would be on normal rest

i doubt the phillies have another home game this year tho

and lol @ everyone going off on the bank crowd...ive been trying to tell people this for a few years

I'll save Karma for the Cubs and Sox fans.  Phils should/need to win because they're the best team in baseball.  They brought Pence in for games like this when Utley/Howard/etc are just going to look silly at every at bat.

This clutch hitting farg fest started last year in the NLDS.  Doc throws one for the ages, Oswalt pitches well and the Reds defense implodes in game 2 and Cole pitches lights out in clincher.  Bats didn't do shtein and that carried right over into the NLCS.

Might just be that I had too much caffeine but anyone else beginning to hate postseason baseball? Maybe it's because expectations are high but I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack at any moment.

Definitely.. the game can turn so quickly... and go from the highest high (Francisco's homer) to the a considerable low (based loaded one out)... followed by a double play to the end the 8th, an infuriating top the ninth when none of our bloop hits were falling, and a nerve wrecking ninth.

Speaking of bloop hits the Cards sure do get a lot of lucky ones. I know a hit is a hit but things (like Theriot's dribbler not rolling out of play) have been going the Cards way this series.

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20111004_Deja_two__Key_doubleplay_a_throwback.html

QuoteAs it turns out, the Matt Stairs parallels go beyond Ben Francisco's pinch-hit home run. Because the same night Stairs hit his home run in the NLCS at Dodger Stadium in 2008, Chase Utley also pulled off a spectacular, run-saving doubleplay. It was just as he did Tuesday night in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Cardinals.

Then as now, Ryan Madson was the pitcher.

Then as now, Rafael Furcal was the runner who was out at second base.

Then as now, Utley saved a precarious situation with his glove.

1. big ups to hamels, he had to be perfect considering what the offense was going to do and he was. aside from his vadge year of 2009 he has been big time money in playoffs.

2. lol @ ben francisco. are you kidding me. i hope thats his last hit as a phillie. of all people.

3. bridge to madson is as shaky as a muhammad ali fist pump. lidge justifiably refuses to throw his eefus pitch fastball...worley is a rookie starter trying to get spot outs...old dirty might just be shot...stutes obviously is unreliable. blanton is next in line to get chances. again hopefully the starter can go 7, then you piecemeal your way for as many outs as you can until madson.

4. and might i add madson is not exactly a game over goodnight closer. this isnt mo rivera were talkin bout.

5. agreed it should be over tomorrow. if oswalt cant outpitch edwin farging jackson then cut the cord now and head back to the plantation in mississippi.

hes faced three meaningful batters since the baez talk...im not ready to annoint him lock down again...but my main point is that hes still only facing a batter or two at a time....hes not pitching full innings

Because Jay is the only starter that hits lefty.  Furcal and Berkman would bat righty off him (no thanks), and as dumb as LaRussa can be at times, there's no way he'd use Schumaker, Descalso or Chambers against ODB...

The ball bounced twice and into Jesus Tiamo's glove. The Spanish-speaking bullpen catcher held onto the ball. He offered it back later, but Francisco autographed the ball and gifted it to Tiamo.

He is, by nature, a quiet man. Francisco is usually one of the first Phillies to dress at his locker after games. His teammates call him "Benny Fresh" because of his modest but smooth style.

Game 5 is a lock to happen. I have zero confidence in the Phils bats. The Cards are outplaying the Phillies... bottom line. Maybe Doc bails them out game 5 but right now the Cards are playing like the better team.

I was thinking back to 2008 when the batters were patient at the plate and worked counts. Now fast forward to 2011 where they're swinging at whatever they like.

so halladay coughs up 3 runs before the game starts but the offense bails him out

lee gives away a 4-0 lead

hamels labors through 6 before a pinch hitter wins the game

the offense shuts down after 3 batters and oswalt gets murdered by someone named david freese

blue. print.

im not sure why anyone would think the offense would be any better than against sf last year...they were old breaking down and not very smart and now its a year later...if they had a better draw i think they could have rolled thru arizona on talent alone like they did cincy last year...but they were never getting past milwaukee in the nlcs...and the cardinals are just a terrible matchup for them

lee will still have his runs against the padres and pirates. choke is going to make 25 mil, hit 20 homers and play 75% of the time because hes old and broken down. its already the worst contract in sports and it hasnt even started yet.

the interesting thing to look at it is the reaction this team gets if they lose on friday. do they get the good job guys it was a fun ride cheer or do people kill them juany style.

they are old and slow and the hitters suck

they can take all they wont it make one iota of a difference

and in reality they have scored 11, 4, 3 and 3 runs. if you told me those were the phils totals a week ago id assume the series would be over.

they are supposed to win on pitching and losing when they score 4 and 3 is a joke. they have to win at least one of those. oswalt can go back to mississippi and cliff lee can suck my swollen shaft.

yeah thats true lee will still be ok against zesty teams in circumstances that mean nothing and have some 14-12 years where as choke will suck against everyone

they will get it....they wont get it from the bank/south jersey homer types but the city as a whole will destroy them as they should....the real question is do the free passers like grit and lee get ripped up...or is it choke and jimmy per usual

The hope is the home crowd revs the bats up. Halladay was dominant after the first inning but the Cards are swinging the bat very well. Bottom line is the Cards are outplaying the Phillies right now. They're working counts and getting clutch hits. If the Phils can't beat them in a game 5 with their ace on the mound than they're gutless.

they will get it....they wont get it from the bank/south jersey homer types but the city as a whole will destroy them as they should....the real question is do the free passers like grit and lee get ripped up...or is it choke and jimmy per usual

manuel was taking a lot of heat for game 2....lee is free pass central. utley once he put on the rope necklace he went even further into free pass land. its gonne be choke, the offense as a whole and charlie.

but it wont be as vocal as the andy/juany stuff. though somewhere right now joe banner and howie roseman are high-fiving each other that their pos team wont take all the heat now.

I have confidence they'll beat Milwaukee/Zona or whoever the AL throws at them. The Cards are like the Giants, a bad matchup for the Phils. They get by the Cards and I think they win the World Series.

add that to an offense that is maxing out at 4 runs and you have a team that is losing in the nlcs best case scenario. in fact for everyones sake getting it over with friday wouldnt be the worst thing.

maybe all that gell is going to his head. but it didnt lose them the game because choke wasnt going to do anything.

watching the last choke k gave me nightmares to what the next five years are going to be.

on top of that all well have to show for it is 1 title against a team that doesnt even really exist.

as amazing as this run has been its just about over and its going to be a massive failure when all is said and done.

farg you cliff lee.

whose more abominable over the next five years...choke or phifer??

lee will still have his runs against the padres and pirates. choke is going to make 25 mil, hit 20 homers and play 75% of the time because hes old and broken down. its already the worst contract in sports and it hasnt even started yet.

the interesting thing to look at it is the reaction this team gets if they lose on friday. do they get the good job guys it was a fun ride cheer or do people kill them juany style.

Lee had two different months of giving up like one run total, but all of a sudden he's a giant piece of shtein because of one bad game as a Phillie?

Choke's last K almost lead me right into the freeway divider.  I am so over Victorino.  I don't give a farg that he's representing the 808 anymore.  His stupidity is beyond comprehension.  Grit is a close second on the tard chart as of late.  Cliff Lee was brought here to help win a world championship.  Yes, it's one game but it was the playoffs, at home oh and a 4-0 cushion.  Ole Roy pitched ok today. Not great, ok.  Pineapple brains Ronnie Brown impersonation  and Choke not catching that foul ball before Freese's homer didn't help.

Per Todd, if someone told you the bums scored 11, 4, 3 and 3 you'd think cool Phils in 4. Just a quick peek into the next few years.  Get use to it, the bums are going to be the ones who'll have to be creepin'.

The big difference between the 08/09 playoff Phillies/Cards this series is patience at the plate. That was the most impressive thing about the 08 run...hitters were patient and made pitchers pitch to them. That's what the Cards have been doing this series. They're patient at the plate and waiting for that one good pitch to cross the plate. Notice they're not knocking the ball all over the stadium...a lot of their hits are little bloops or find holes in the offense, that's because they're swinging at pitches in their zone. The Phillies on the other hand are trying to force the issue and 'overanxious' as Charlie describes them is dead on. They need to farging relax.

Cardinals win 1-0 or 2-0
Phils win by 2 or more and Cardinals score 2 or fewer

Does anyone swing their bat on the first pitch?? Seriously??? That's 3 batters in a row.

I'm a huge hater on first pitch swingers, but these guys gotta realize that Carpenter is giving them meat on the first pitch and take their hacks. 

Also, I'll say it - the rally squirrel is incredibly MA.

Prediction for Howard:  First ball: fast ball strike and he doesn't swing
second ball: piece of shtein pitch in the dirt and he swings
third ball: piece of shtein in the dirt and he strikes out

i mean that theres no hope they are gonna score in that situation...at least if they have a rally with less than two outs they might sac fly  or single in one run because they have a couple chances...but when they have to depend on one guy to get one hit there literally is no hope and thats the worst feeling ever in the playoffs

well it looks like im not missing anything

if its any consolation, my signal is terrible, im sitting on an old stool and my back is killing me

other than that, it looks like its a fun night

It might be a terrific night if the Phils could have even fielded a Little League World Series-worthy lineup.

After the first inning Halladay's been money.  Carpenter's been one run better.

And Polanco's ready for the glue factory.

Starting with the 3rd inning of Game 2, the Phillies' offense has cranked out 17 1-2-3 innings - and put runners on base in only 13.

It's like they are channeling their inner Eagles goal line offense.

Cool tattoos you flags.  At this point I don't care if the Brew Crew swept the Phils, I don't want Molina in the next round.

id easily take a loss here if i knew they would lose to the brewers...molina is a farging gangsta...the brewers are a bunch of sickening annoying clowns

i actually respect the hell out of the cards....larussa is a genius who wont allow his team to be stupid and molina king albert and holliday are all awesome

By gangsta, you mean a guy with faggy neck tattoos??? Pretty sure the Undertaker is the only one that can pull those off.

hes no choooooooooooooch thats for sure

GRIT should get some neck tats

and a tattoo teardrop

The best team in the season rarely wins the World Series. Thanks to these short series, even a clearly better team in the playoffs can be eliminated thanks to luck.

If the Phils lose, it's very disappointing, but hardly surprising.

it goes without saying this is the worst choke in philly sports history...not that theres much competition as philly teams are never good...but this is is the most disgraceful pathetic performance by a team in the history of the city...the really frustrating thing is it was so obvious even in spring traning how the season would end up...the offense has sucked for a year and a half and it was clear it would be their downfall...its kind of like how we all saw how bad the eagle linebackers and safeties were in traning camp

I like how they tried to implore the working the count strategy in game 5 against a guy who makes you swing because he throws strikes. I mean, I'm glad they did it but why did it take till game 5 for them to figure out what the Cards were doing all along. Obvious igy answer is going to be Larussa but he isn't the one up there swinging.

They'll be around at least another two seasons because they still have Halladay/Lee/and most likely Hamels. Not saying they'll win shtein but they'll make the playoffs.

Could be the last Philly playoff team for a while, given the states of the other three franchises. Then again if every playoff run is exciting as this one, there's no need for 'em.

I do think the pitching will continue to be there for the Phils but the rest of the East won't stand still forever.

I like how they tried to implore the working the count strategy in game 5 against a guy who makes you swing because he throws strikes. I mean, I'm glad they did it but why did it take till game 5 for them to figure out what the Cards were doing all along. Obvious igy answer is going to be Larussa but he isn't the one up there swinging.

what larussa does best much better than his in game managing which is unorthodox to say the least is get the exact players he wants for what he wants to do and then he gets those guys to play exactly how he wants them to play and he makes them better than they even thought they could ever be...the guy is farging amazing...theres a reason why hes 3rd all time in wins

christ im so mad but of all the homocidal thoughts in my head the one that is most amazing to me is that before the game it was neat to say in a tongue and cheek manor that the phillies would lose 1-0....because like their offense is so bad and halladay is so good...get it?

the difference tho btwn philly sports and anywhere else in the world is that the phillies actually DID lose 1-0...its wasnt just the funny thing to say...it actually farging happened....it wasnt 2-0 or 3-2 or the game didnt totally suprise everyopne and end up 5-4....it actually ended up one farging zero...who else does this happen to?

i was for it at the time....and now even more it looks like the right move...him going yard there was your best and only chance to score all night....thus you have to go for it...if he walks there no way they are stringing his fat ass around the bases with a few hits

if its say victorino who isnt an extreme power guy and can get on base and possibly get himself down to second and in scoring position then its a different argument...but choke cant get around the bases so him being on first doesnt do much for you

Something that drives me crazy is when reporters get pissy about players not talking to them.

Jimmy and Bonehead didn't speak afterwards...and there's Eskin crushing him on Twitter about it. If I was an athlete I wouldn't want to say shtein either. I have to cool down before I speak when I am pissed.

Choke said he felt a pop that it went numb and felt like his leg (because it obviously wasnt his bat) was on fire.

I hoped and prayed it wasn't  going to come to this.  Eliminated in the first round.  NLCS loss would have sucked but to lose in the first round with this staff is just baffling.  The offense played like shtein since August and low and behold, where in the hell was it in October?  One offensive outburst in three innings of game one and that was it.

so i get home, refusing to look at my phone....ff the dvr to the btm of the 7th pretty much knowing what happened. all that came out of my mouth is "its god damn farging joke." over and over again. im screaming it. i cant stop.

this is a farging disgrace. i dont even know. this whole thing is finished. its over. and the choke ACL injury is too good to be true.

im so angry right now i dont even know. its just such a farging joke. not 1 farging run. not 1. against charlie brown farging christ. i farging hate this team.

3 hits, 2 errors.  Ruiz and Polanco had 3 hits the entire series.  Howard had no hits after game 1.  Pence was useless.  Lee and Oswalt blew.  Disgrace.

Cut Polanco in the offseason.  Lets stop worshiping at the alter of Rube when he signs washed up players to multi year deals and they are half decent for 3 months. 

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Raul.  No option pickup for Oswalt please.  Adios Lidge.  farg you Jimmy if you're going to hold the team hostage for a 5 yr deal too.  3 fargING HITS in a win or go home game.  3.  Halladay left his nuts on the field tonight and the team spat on them

yup...the phillies were or should have been the late 90's early 2000 yankee teams...maybe not four titles or whatever they won but minimum two and probably three....i mean the talent on these teams has been sick...but they have a horrible manager and a below the charts team IQ....the yankees had joe torre and somehow combined the phillies talent with the IQ of the cardinals

he deserves blame just like manuel does for being a fat idiot, just like lee does for giving away game 2, just like every single position player does for their limp dick performance.

i would have said choke but with his injury it may seem like piling on...i guess the offense as a whole gets the blame but people will still mostly be of the attitude that they still have the best pitching in the league and they cant wait till next year!!

now that its all said and done...i agree with you and sunny at least as far as this series....its phifer....he doesnt blow up again in the post season then they win this series...but what people will overlook is that even had they won this they still lose in the nlcs

the issue is, staked to a 4-0 lead, CLIFF LEE completely collapses, letting St Louis back into the series. 

the issue is, the offense, after getting up 4 and 2 runs in games 2 and 4 decide they're so awful that they've done their job and don't need any more runs.

the issue is Roy Oswalt would rather be clearing his property in Mississippi right now and they can't score more than 2 runs off of EDWIN JACKSON.

the issue is Charlie sat there with a dumb blank look on his face the entire series.

i wonder if milt was sitting at home for any of these games looking at gabe gross and asking him 'how's my ass taste'.

first of its greg gross, but whatever

second charlie is stubborn to a fault. they havent had a good offense for 2 years but he never not for one second changed his approach. he still treated everyone like they were on the 2007 phillies and let them swing away, figured a pile of 3 run homers were around the corner.

instead, he should have been playing small ball all year. but it all starts with first off having an insanely old and slow team, then you get rid of lopes because of money. now the base running goes down. now you rely on washed up utley and past his prime jimmy to pretend its 2007...all for a middle of the order than isnt very good...setting up a wretched bottom of the order.

what charlie needed to do was play for a run every single inning. what rube needed to do was send ibnaez packing and get a slap hitting speedy LF like coco crisp. he gets on, steals bases, get a run and you hope to repeat that 3 times and win 2-1 or 3-2 or something. but no. they attack and pretend its 2007 and they think howard is gonna jack one. newsflash. hes farging terrible.

and charlie is too farging vapid and stupid to change. they are what they are and they are regular season champions.

yeah this year the eagles were basically the 2000 ravens...and in 2007-2008 they were the kurt warner rams...so this year they should have reigned in the offense and dinked and dunked down the field letting their pitching win the games for them...instead they continued to try and throw go routes and deeps posts and ended up losing a playoff game 10-7

This will always be remembered as the NLDS that Cliff Lee blew a 4-0 cushion.    As if we were surprised by the offense.  Bullpen was what we expected.  Stutes was spent by August 1, Lidge is an adventure and Madson is proving he's a legit closer. 

I love Cliff Lee but he picked one hell of a night to shtein the bed.  Bums up 2-0 after Sunday it's over in 4.

I'm numb already. Worst possible nightmare came true tonight.

i'm not going to be in the mood to think about next season for months, but this offseason will be very telling.

Oswalt could come off the books/Jimmy/Madson/Lidge/Ibanez.  That's somewhere around $45-50 million to play around with.  I'm going to guess they bring back Madson, and try to re-sign Jimmy, but if they just pocket the rest of the dough, you know this is the beginning of the end, and this season was the season they pushed their chips in.  If they somehow basically re-invest it one way or the other and keep the payroll at $160-170 mill, that may be a signal that they think it's sustainable going forward.

whatever.  i can't get over what i watched tonight.  i fully expected them to lose in some horrific way, but 3 farging hits all game.

cliff lee didnt pick that night...he had been terrible in his previous postseason starts...people thought hed be good but lets not act like something crazy happened to him that one night

the intelligent fans will put this on him but as a whole its laughable to think that his start is what this series will always be remembered by...id argue that the farther we get away from it the less people remember his night

if they dont brign back jimmy and it doesnt look good then they need to bring in a cheap veteran...or put valdez there.....galvis is not ready and may never be...if choke get his surgery right away he should be back in late april or may...first base is by far the easiest position to fill when it comes to cheap free agents.....i suspect they go that route for first and AAAberry goes to left

haha my optism was a mask for my overwhelming pessimism.  Turns out I should just realize that I was born in Philadelphia in 1985, so I missed out on the only decade where Philadelphia actually won some championships.   Atleast you guys got to see Flyers and Sixers win a championship.  My earliest vivid memory was watching Mitch Williams serve up  Joe Carter's home run.  It hasn't gotten any better.  I think this championship collapse has now overtaken the Eagles' four years of farging me in the ass in 01 to 04 as my worst Philadelphia sports memory.  farg this team.  farg Cliff Lee for not holding unto a 4 run lead.  farg Hunter Pence for doing absolute shtein in the series.  farg Polanco for grounding to the same spot every at bat.  farg Chooch for having one hit.  farg Victornio for throwing the ball backwards then farging up the cut off throw tonight.. also farg him for crying like a homo when he opened up the Boys + Girls club.   farg Charlie Manuel for being an overrated manager and continually trotting out losers like Polanco to the plate when you know he was an instant out.  farg Ibanez for being an old piece of shtein with wads of tobacco in his mouth.  farg Chase Utley for his faggy necklace and his horrible base running... farg Oswalt... and farg Ryan Howard for hitting one home run and calling it a series... I'd like to shove a 5 dollar foot long up his ass while he floats in his Venice style lazy river nursing his flag ankle.

farg the Sixers for being a zesty franchise as well.. and farg Andy Reid for being a fat farging walrus...  and finally.. farg the girls and homo dudes on facebook that actually thanke the Phils on facebook or on tv or whatever.

No chance. I have too much money on the Cardinals +1.5 for the Phils to actually win by one. Since I also have $$ on Cards team total o3, here are the most likely outcomes:

Cardinals win 1-0 or 2-0
Phils win by 2 or more and Cardinals score 2 or fewer

That's it... Take it to the bank.

Very true.  But the most frustrating part of it is that the Phils team that won it all was the "worst" team they fielded in the last 4 years.  Each year since winning the series, they have added more pieces and progressively gotten better each season, but somehow have managed to progressively get worse each post season.  Makes no sense at all.

they are so used to winning that the playoffs turn into the regular season. they dont get to that next gear because it doesnt exist. it feels like a random game in may to them. meanwhile the cardinals, giants, etc. are playing out of their minds because october and thats what you do.

blow it up. blow it the farg up.

i decided a couple months ago that if they dont bring jimmy back im out for next year as far as getting EI

maybe my tone will change in april but right now the thought of this team makes me physically violent and ill

they are such a farcical disgrace. to win 102 games and then collapse and choke to the god damn farging piece of shtein cardinals. its a farging joke. its a farging god damn mother farging joke. a joke. theres nothing else to say. its a disgrace and they will never recover or live it down.

couldnt agree more with the first statement...but ive felt this way since the early summer of 2010....which is why ive been such a salty negative ornery bastich for the last couple seasons...and the reason i was is because i could see how these last two seasons were going to end....this offense is a pathetic disgrace....thus the regular season wins meant nothing to me while you fargs jerked off to a guaranteed back to back world series titles

I've had a decent night's sleep and some time to process the debacle. Not sure it helped, but here goes:

The Phils probably faced the one team in the NL that had the best chance of beating them.  That series in September (yeah yeah, the Phils already had it nailed down blah blah blah) not only helped spur the Cardinals into the Wild Card, it gave them a hell of a lot of confidence that the could beat the bloated leviathan that is the Phillies.

The pitchers held Albert Pujols to one RBI over five games.  I'd take that every day of the week. 

Cliff Lee picked the wrong day for one of his blow-ups, with an assist from Victorino.  Win that game, and I don't tink it ever gets to game four, much less five.

EDIT:  The rest of this fits better in Rome's offseason thread.  I'm moving it over there.

The fact that they won in 2008 is hardly irrelevant.  It's the best sports event of my lifetime and yours too so stop it already.

Hey... At least the Phillies won one. Being tired of them not winning another is better than the Eagles' version of fatigue.

Exactly. If the Eagles had won at least one SB I'd be happy with the 5-10 years of misery they put me through. I'm as pissed as ever over the Phillies and more so because expectations were so high but at least they got it done.

Very true.  But the most frustrating part of it is that the Phils team that won it all was the "worst" team they fielded in the last 4 years.  Each year since winning the series, they have added more pieces and progressively gotten better each season, but somehow have managed to progressively get worse each post season.  Makes no sense at all.

The 2008 team raised their level of play when they reached the postseason. This team didn't and either did last seasons team. They have just as much talent on offense as any team left in the postseason. I don't know if they rest on their laurels because they were overconfident and thought pitching was going to carry them or what but bottom line is they didn't get it done. It's why players like Cody Ross play well during the postseason, they hone in on their hitting ability and find their zone. Most teams do this by working the count and hitting balls in their zone, the Phillies chose to be overaggressive.

its as big a disgrace as that series, if not more

like 2012 even matters. like i can stomach the though to talk about it. im still violently mad from last night and its gonna stay that way for quite some time.

seriously if they disband the franchise i wouldnt even fight it. if they moved to las vegas id let them go. they are for the time being dead to me.

and johnny riding for jose reyes is the worst of the lot. his homer coddling and worshiping of loser trannys is off the charts.

Ok, so since I get to Philly maybe once a year I don't quite have a feel for certain things that some of the locals might.  In this case, it's the South Jersey Phillies fan that IGY has been killing for a year or 2. 

But now I get it.  Reading articles from various sources on facebook today, the comments sections were just awful.  "Great season, get 'em next year guys!" type shtein.  So I click on these nimrod's profiles, and the ones that weren't set to private were almost all from somewhere in S. Jersey.  It was really quite nauseating.  That's maybe a fine attitude after the 07 season or for your kid's little league team but that's about it.

Makes me hate Jersey even more.

It's amazing how the fanbase has turned into a bunch of softies. I'm not advocating violence or any of that nonsense that used to go on but we used to be known as knowledgable and tough. I liked that. Loud and belligerent. Not scream for every farging fly ball. Not go to the park because there's nothing else to do. Not farging give a player some goddamn personalized cheer when he is 0-for-farging-ever.

In the airport today there was people buying Phillies playoffs stuff! While on the train platform I heard the same farging get-em-next-year horseshtein.

I farging unpacked my bag and took out every thread of shtein with a farging Phillies logo on it. I will not wear that shtein for awhile. Repacked it with Eagles and Flyers and Sixers.

I think a lot of the booing was subdued on the final out due to Choke pulling a Sargent Ellias down the first base line.  I was hoping the crowd was going to lite into these jerk offs.  Nothing worse than silence, boo these motherfargers down.

Dead serious Don. One dude was in a Choke jersey. Sickening!

Let's do this.  If those awful MLB playoff hats were selling for $35 a pop, we should easily get $20-25.

I'm thinking a t-shirt with the outline of New Jersey in the middle and a big "P" in the middle of that.  "Get 'em next year!" will be circling the entire thing.  Maybe even go ethnic with this shtein and color in the state of NJ with the Italian flag.

I think he was finally starting to swing the bat good before he got sent down, then things fell apart for him down there.

We have nothing left Todd.  I got one of those emails from my friend yesterday with all the rah rah "We'll be back" shtein trying to break everything down how the bums will be there in 2012.  After I vomited on my keyboard I deleted it.

I am more pissed this morning then I was Friday.  It was actually easier to deal with it Friday since you could just feel the game/series/season slipping away with every pitch and every out from the fifth inning on.  By the time Choke collapsed, literally, you were beyond pissed, irate, sad, suicidal, etc.  You knew it was coming.  Now, especially with the NLCS already heading into game 3 the reality that the season is over hits you like a shovel to the face.
