2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[Don Ho]

walk on 4 pitches, error, hit batter. 2 total strikes I think? Wild pitch. Walk.

I had to leave after 6 innings and was getting updates from my dad.  He failed to mention how Kendrick imploded.  Is this for real?   walk, error, hit batter, WP, walk?  Holy farg.

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.

such an enjoyable team to watch

[PhillyGirl]

Actually, it was...until Kendrick.

IGY, go watch your Braves instead. They're lighting shtein up. SO much more fun to watch.

their offense is beyond painful

dumbest player ever victorino
choke with no help around him going really bad
a cooked jimmy
wilson valdez
ben francisco
a no more roided out 40 year old ibanez

when a slap hitter and a playing way above his means #8 hitting catcher are ther most exciting things on your offense it becomes excrutiating

[SD]

Yet they're still 4th in the NL in runs scored and have the second best record.

[Rome]

Their offense has been anemic since that first homestand, though.   I think that's what hes getting at.

Matrix Deja Vu?

Predictable Orodenker responses.

Is there a bigger shill right now than Toddly?

[charlie]

I love this thread.

I'm rooting for a rain out tonight since I have tickets and the other person bailed on me, i would rather not waste them.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Take Munson with you.

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

still doesnt make it any better to watch tho

[Munson]

Take Munson with you.

This. We can play beer pong or beer ball in the parking lot

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.
