Phillies Season Thread 2013

[ice grillin you]

I hate to say it, but I really don't want the Phils to make the playoffs this year. Considering their lack of offense and their bullpen, they'd just get blown out in the first round, just as the Braves always do. Maybe next year.

Dodgers, Phillies Interested In Edinson Volquez
By Zach Links [August 28, 2013 at 8:27pm CST]

The Padres requested release waivers on pitcher Edinson Volquez earlier today but it doesn't sound like he'll be unemployed for long.  The Dodgers have serious interest in signing Volquez given Chris Capuano's struggles, sources tell ESPN.com's Buster Olney (via Twitter).  Meanwhile, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro says that they have discussed the former All-Star internally, writes Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com.

For the Dodgers, Volquez could be plugged in as the No. 5 starter in place of Capuano as they gear up for the postseason.  Capuano, 35, has a 6.98 ERA across his last four starts and has struggled with consistency all year long.  The Phillies obviously aren't going anywhere in 2013, but they could plug Volquez into their rotation and evaluate him as an option going forward.  Volquez hasn't been terribly sharp in 2013, as evidenced by his 6.01 ERA on the year with 7.3 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9 in 27 starts.

Aaaaaaaand the Dodgers signed him.

Way to lose out, Smug. Idiot

farg smug, Smug sucks.

Although it's been said many times many ways this Mets broadcast team is farging easy on the ears.  Damnit they're good.  I take it that it was Darling that critiqued Heidi's throw to second and that comebacker.  Just a great breakdown on Heidi's lack of basic fundamentals.  Wheels would have been all "he just loves the game.  he knows he made a mistake there".

"Ruben Amaro is an awful general manager," Christie said.

[Don Ho]

through 4 innings, Ethan Martin has 9Ks. Big improvement from his abysmal performance on Saturday.
