Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[Rome]

Which is exactly what I posted.

Results-wise they're somewhere above last year and somewhere below 2011.   Doesn't take a doctorate in baseball to see that.

[ice grillin you]

they have ZERO chance of winning 90 games...thats  apipe dream

the max is 85 and their likelyhood is probably 75 with a solid chance of implosion

they are a good 20 games worse than the nationals and have no chance at the playoffs

[SD]

I think they'll be in the wc hunt all season with the Braves and finish in the mid 80s range win-wise.

Last night my room mate was trying to tell me Halladay will be back and be able to pitch a solid 200 innings. If there's one guarantee in baseball it's that once your velocity is gone its farging gone.

[Geowhizzer]

They're the epitome of medicore. 

If Halladay can approach his level of 2010-2011... then MAYBE 88 wins.

If not... 81 wins is about right.  That lineup should scare nobody but Phils fans.

you think they are six-seven games better than last year with the roster a year older....that outfield...john lannan as your 5th starter a frighteningly bad defense AND a cooked halladay?...thats being pretty optimistic

whatever happened to halladay last year is bound to happen to a vet or three this year...not necessrily just injury but simply a decline in their play due to age....and i know defense is something thats hard to notice when looking at a team on paper in the offseason but its being severely overlooked as far as whats going to really hurt this team...

and again....that outfield is one of the worst in major league history...i dont know how roob has a job going into a season with what is supposed to be a contending team and giving them that outfield...its criminal

Pretty much sums up my reaction to reading this thread.

[Rome]

Ugh.  Why even bother?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Havas how much would you wager on a 90 win season?

[Sgt PSN]

I don't bet on sports and I'd put two bills on them winning less than 90.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Havas how much would you wager on a 90 win season?

Why would you bet him straight up on that when you can cake off online betting o83 or some shtein?

[Rome]

LOL - He won't even back his ridiculous 75 win prediction up with a money bet.

[Munson]

Yes he will...just give him odds

[Rome]

Haha... I'll give you $10 if you're right but you have to give me $100 if I'm right!

It's FLAWLESS!

Homers seem to love paying IGY bad odds to compound their losses.
