Still can't believe after all those pimped HRs not one Phils pitcher would throw inside and move the Mets batters off the plate.
Phillies
- Thread starter NickleDimer
- Start date
Nah, he was sidetracked last night. Mentioned being distraught over race car driver dying a couple of times. Did have time for a, "David Wright, love that guy" mention. Also, some stuff about clubhouse chemistry. I think in a mocking fashion like someone (media person) suggested that Wright would mess up chemistry. Yea, pretty light night.
The Mets and Phillies can still be good at the same time. Allow me to point to the NL Central, where three of the better teams in baseball currently reside. The Mets or any other team in the division being good doesn't prevent the Phillies from being good again.
Their pitching is very good, but they'll have to pay them eventually.
This weekend, I'll be channelling my inner Nickledimer and going to a AA Eastern league game in Altoona.
No, it's not a loser mentality at all. The owners have financial issues. Maybe, that gets rectify some as time goes on. I'm not really sure. I just know it's going to be hard to give all of them 25-30 mil per year eventually. And if they are t worth that much, then one of two things happened. One, they aren't as dominant as they are now. Two, injuries happened. But they have some time before they need to worry about that.
Regardless, one team being good in the division won't prevent another team from being good. One has nothing to do with the other.
Oh yea, it's not the same as the TB discussion. One is a cap league. The other routinely rewards good pitchers 150 million dollar deals.
No one is counting on that. It was a simple comment. When the Phillies get good again it will be because they have better players.
I was just thinking the same thing, but not the same style. Dmil much brighter than this dude. Good dumb down act of it is him, tho.
Phillies-Mets getting a little chippy tonight. Robles quick-pitched Ruf, causing Francouer and Bowa to jump off the bench saying the 'f' word many times. Bowa ended up getting tossed, and then gestured to Daniel Murphy that he was going to get drilled in the ribs with a pitch.
Tom "Tits" McCarthy mentioned that the Murphy thing might be going back to something to do with his home run from last night, but in typical sh*tty-ass-broadcaster style, he does not expain himself further.

If you say so.....
Goofy McCarthy doesn't pay attention. He had no idea that the same pitcher did it last night.
jeez they haven't even won one division title with these guys yet and you got them down for a run of up to 14 in a row. and Harvey and deGrom are already 26 and 27 years old. i'm sure if they get on the Roger Clemens health plan they will still be dominating at 40 and 41 years old.
A Ryan Howard error led to an unearned run in a one run loss tonight. BUT HE HIT A HOMER. I miss the days when Arak used to dismiss his obvious decline by admiring his RBI totals.
Is Odubel Herrera just Michael Martinez's real name?

Did the gutless Phils bean anyone tonight? Seems more unwritten rules of beisbol were broken by Los Mets tonight according to some Deadspin article. Bat flips and quick pitches etc. don't tell me the Mets are already puffing their chests and acting like bullys just because they're the tallest midget in the NL East. They're the least retarded competitor at the special Olympics right now.
Odubel Herrera is probably just a distant cousin to Michael Martinez, Abe Nunez, and the Itzuris brothers. They may not be related by blood, but they are related in their inability to hit major league pitching.
Ryan Howard is having a better season than expected. If he was used as a platoon only against RH he would have better numbers. It really has been this way for a couple years. I know his contract is an albatross, but you have to think if an AL team picked him up as a platoon DH he would help them win some games. I am fine with him though, I will never say a bad word about the guy.
I am sure Howard has been put on waivers for the past 3 years. Don't think anyone wants that guy.
Yeah but it probably has to do with money more than anything else. Look at some of the DH's in the AL - not exactly a bunch of world beaters.
For a kid who never played above AA he has hit just fine. He's shown some flashes. Still a bit raw, but is considerably better than Michael Martinez, who didn't have a ML AB until age 28. Herrera is 23.
His splits vs RHP are respectable this season. .272 avg, .847 OPS. 18 HR/62 RBIs in 340 PAs.
It's always been an interesting dynamic on BWs. Are guys trolling or are they just clueless?
I didn't make that claim. I wasn't even in the TB Lightning salary cap discussion. In fact, Dmil has that discussion with him.
Lingo is not the same. I don't think it's him unless he's taking on a totally different approach. Which if true is downright masterful.
