2013-14 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Munson]

Just heard this stat today: Last season, Cole Hamels set the MLB record for most consecutive quality starts without getting a win, at 17.

Darling is an effeminate Ivy League Hoyda.   Comparing a Philly guy to that bitch gets you the gas face.

Your Stairs comment is just SOB (std operational bullshtein).

[SD]

The way I look at it anything is better than Wheels. Moyer I still think of as a Seattle guy. Stairs should be entertaining in a Larry Anderson sort if way. Do either of these guys have television commentating experience?

[Geowhizzer]

I like the idea that Moyer is Philly born and raised.  He may have been in Seattle longer as a player, but he knows how Phillies fans operate perhaps better than most former players.

Stairs I'm not enthusiastic about.  I guess that I'm a little concerned that he will be too over the top for a baseball broadcast.  Like SD said, though, at least he's not Wheeler.  I'll give him a shot.

Still a long, long way from Kalas and Ashburn.

darling is the best in the biz right now...id kill to have him...i actually think moyer has a shot to not be as good as him but good nonehteless with the same type of style as darling minus the humor

i think a better comparison for stairs is sarge not wheels or LA...moyer is taking wheels spot....and i have never seen or heard anything from stairs that would lead me to believe he could be funny or goofy in an endearing way...he was on wip a couple weeks ago promoting his wing bowl appearance...it was a time when you should be at your most zany and he was a complete turd dud....but perhaps hes not going to be that guy...but instead hes going to be a standard baseball analyst....and that he could be good at i guess....i just hope they arent going to try and make him into the television version of LA because he poured a beer all over himself once

You like Ron Darling.  Your opinion is null and void.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I like Darling too...that Mets crew is the best.

But then again, I like Stairs too. He gets some free passes to start off because he's a Phillie legend.

[Don Ho]

Can't wait until Victorino retires and he's in the Phillies booth.  700 words a minute and a few hundred "You know"s.  He'd make the next 10 years of 70 win seasons a lot more exciting.

You like molesting collies.

Shut it.

Haha I tried to think of a punny comeback but failed

To me if you're Philly...then you're Philly. If he was loyal to his roots he'd be a hardcore Eagles fan. I just can't get passed this:

[Rome]

So because he's a fan of another city's football team that disqualifies him from bring a Phils color guy?

I mean I get it and agree that he should be an Eagles fan, but still...
