And Nola wasn't exactly Cy Young today either.

He was for six innings.  But that seventh...

MDS

their 3 best players all homered and they won

its almost as if...homers...good players...slug nah
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Rome

They didn't give up 10 runs.  It's almost as if the pitching didn't completely implode for the 50th time this season.

MDS

score a bunch of runs and dont give that many! now you figured it out.

Jason Vargas

Oh perfect. Another #4 started.

Fantastic.

Geowhizzer

Phillies doing Phillie things.

Rome

#2946
What's sad is by default he's the #2 in that pitiful rotation.

Nah...Jimmy for this one!

getting a guy like vargas is what i thought they should do a month and a half ago

fill out 4/5 rotation spots with mediocre bile. vargas, tanner roark, homer bailey, etc. get 5 innings out of them. if you go through their game logs, more often than not, they "keep teams in the game." move pivetta and velasquez to the pen. your bullpen becomes halfway decent.

its not a good plan. it probably wont even work. but im not sure what, at this point, else they can do. 3/5 of their rotation sucks. 1 other guy is washed up on top of having bone spurs. also they dont hit enough homers. ok fine whatever nothing matters.

Vargas is getting paid $8M a year.  Arrieta is getting paid $25M a year. 

Arrieta will be one of the worst signings in Phillies history by the end of his deal.
