fish7718 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Niese looks horrendous, could barely throw a strike if his life depended on it. Yet the Phillies keep swinging at awful pitches and it is a 2-2 game. Yay offense!He didn't have it today but, he still has some pretty nice stuff. Got a lot of swing and misses on strikes. Been an ugly game all day and really has the feel of a game the mets are just destined to lose but came back from down 2 runs twice, so I am happy right now... Not every day you see a team score 4 runs on 2 hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Doc is out 6-8 weeks. Terrible, but not as bad as it could have been, I suppose. The Phillies say this has been bothering him since Spring Training. Weird to say, but if the Phillies are to be taken at their word this is actually very re-assuring. Nice to know that his struggles were indeed injury related. Lets see what he looks like at full strength come July/August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Good series, Mets and Phils played some great games so far, you guys are lucky you missed Dickey and Santana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, pretty predictable series I guess. Phillies win the Hamels and Lee starts and lose the Blanton start (although Hamels and Lee were hardly at the top of their game). However, Charlie strikes again. Absolutely no need to go to Papelbon here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Phillies will supposedly be going heavy on college players early in the draft. This is a big time philosophy change. Probably for the best considering the current state of the team. A few cheap, quick fixes would be a huge help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably for the best considering the current state of the team. A few cheap, quick fixes would be a huge help. So much for that. High school arms early and often. Typical. These next 5 seasons look bleaker by the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If I could pick one game to label as a microcosm of the 2012 season, it would be tonight. *Sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Damn, Cliff Lee throws 92 strikes and gets tagged with the loss. That's unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Up to 6 walk-off loses on the road this year and Jonathan Papelbon has appeared in zero of them. I know, this stupidity expands to basically every team in baseball. With maybe 2 or 3 exceptions, nobody uses their closer on the road in a non-save situation. So unbelievably dumb. It'd be nice if the Phillies started thinking more progressively, considering their lack of bullpen depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Simply remarkable. Adam Jones and Matt Wieters coming up, and the left handed Joe Savery comes into pitch while Papelbon sits idly. Just terrible. This shouldn't get me so shocked/angry anymore, but the stupidity of this team, from the players to the coaches to the front office, is just amazing.

Phightins Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 First good news in a while. Chase Utley will begin his official rehab assignment tomorrow. Also, the top 3 draft picks all signed at or below slot value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remember these are the same idiots that booed Bobby Abreu mercilessly last week in his first trip back here as an opposing player. Yes, Abreu, the guy who never did anything controversial and, for my money, is the best Phillies hitter of my lifetime. There isn't much logic involved, people are just stupid.

Phightins Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Safe to say this Chooch injury is likely the nail in the coffin, if it's serious. Also, Bastardo had a self-inflicted weight room injury after his appearance last night, out of frustration. Shit has officially hit the fan, although it's nice to know that he cares!

Phightins Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Bottom 9th, tie game, middle of the order coming up. Michael Schwimer in the game, Papelbon sitting idly. Even if Schwim escapes, this is so freaking annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Lolol...the "baseball gods" fully support the strategy. Similarly, can't believe we are in the 10th inning of a tie game with a Joe Savery/Erik Kratz battery . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know your offense is in trouble when you can't score on Francisco Cordero of all people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Pretty much. Can't believe our prized pinch hitter Mike Fontenot wasn't able to come through And lol. Pretty typical that Savery was actually looking pretty good, with a strikeout and getting Davis down 0-2, but can't finish it. Welp...
