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

[PhillyPhreak54]

Hey Boo Police;

Are we allowed to?!?

[Sgt PSN]

At Doc or Herndon?  Doc, no.  He pitched well enough.  Herndon, yes.  Anyone who steps in the box should be booed mercilessly as well.  Offense has stunk up the joint these last 2 nights.

go for it but youll be fondling cliff lee's balls if he pitches well tomorrow

[Munson]

So...if the Phils are playing like shtein one night, Phreak's going to talk about it...and if they play great tomorrow....Phreak's going to talk about it?




shocking

LOL @ Francisco giving Cholly a big F.U. for putting him in.

Let's Go Flyers!

God that was pitiful to watch tonight.  A JRoll bunt single and a double by Vic is all they could muster up on Randy Wolf?  Nothing out of the norm.  April has always been rough on these bats.  Doc had to be feeling the effects of his 120+ pitch outing last week.  Extra day of rest or not he throws a shtein load of pitches.  I keep forgetting what a good lineup the Brewers have.  Braun is on a tear right now.

explain i thankfully did not watch this abortion

[Don Ho]

Missed that as well.  What'd Ben do?

5-1 against mets and astros
5-5 against the rest of the league

offense might lose them the division but whats more troubling is that their two aces have not just lost in the first three weeks of the season but have had train wreck starts

[Rome]

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.

1 Rollins
2 Vic
3 Chooch
4 Choke
5 Polly
6 Valdez
7 Mayberry
8 Ibanez

Boom.

Every starter has a bad start now and again...lol at 'troubling'.

im not worried that they have lost they are going to do that a lot with this offense....im worried that in the first couple weeks when pitching is supposed to be ahead of hitting both lee and halladay have been savaged

the offense is an abortion but it was always gonna be that....i dont care how good your pitching is you cant put that kind of pressure on your guys every single nite....amaro vastly underrated how important offense is when putting this team together

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ruben would never do that.

I read yesterday that they have 7 XBH in their last 9 games. Powerful!

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.

There's a reason as to why Ben Francisco has all but lost his job less than 3 weeks into the season.
