Phillies Nation

harry’s got something wrong with his eye…forget what it’s called

Who is this other phil?

Is anyone else not comfortable enough with only a 2 run lead? That’s not enough. They need to tack on another run or 2 here. It’s the heart of the Marlins order, and they like to hit the long ball.

Maybe im in the vast minority, and he WAS great, ,but it’s time for the Harry K era to end. T-Mac is so much better at this stage.

I don’t like any of our announcers all that much Matt. T-Mac would be better if he didn’t do those stupid in game interviews. I’m all for Larry Anderson to take over.

Phil – I think LA is happy with his current color job on the radio. Him and Franskie (sp) really seem to enjoy themselves. I think LA can say more on the radio than he could on TV.

T-Mac is a really solid play by play guy. I agree it’s a shame they stick him out there to do all those interviews – I’m sure that’s not his call.

i was listening to a phils game on the radio earlier this season, around early june maybe, and i believe it was LA who was talking about the homerun jackpot and the contestant’s last name was Cashman, and he said “…and with that last name, you know, shit happens”. *pause* then a quick subject change.

please tell me someone else was listening that night.

que geoff complaining about how moyer is going to break down any day now ;D

I’ll take Moyer’s performances this year any day of the week. He may be 86 years old, but that sum bitch can sure throw the ball effectively when needed.

We just gotta pray that his arm doesn’t fall off, and I think we’ll be okay. He’s a nice change of pace from the flamethrowers like Hamels & crew. Keeps batters on their toes.

Well, that wasn’t exactly my point, but whatever. 90′s is pretty damn fast compared to Moyer, and that was my point.

Good win for the Phillies. Solid pitching will always win. These are the kind of games the Phillies need to win. Can’t win when you give up 6+ runs. Anyway where is metsfan tonight after we lost? After all that shit talking after last nights Mets game. Oh well 10 game winning streak gone. Tomorrow maybe start another good winning streak.

I always say on this board that Moyer is our guy to give the ball to to get the job done. He’s HUGE in big situations. He continues to baffle me at the age of 45. All of this talk about his arm falling off is so annoying. He throws the ball 80 mph and he knows his body. He would never do anything to put this team in jeopardy.

Clearwater lost 3-2 last night in a 7 inning game. Brett Myers was the starting pitcher.

Myers pitched 6 2/3 innings (he gave up the game winning run in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs), 7 hits, 3 runs 2 of which were earned, 1 walk, 6 K’s.

Not a dominating outing, but I wouldn’t say he got shelled. He’s about as ready as he’s going to be this year.

This from Ken Roesenthal, through mlbtraderumors.com

“The Phillies were recently working on a blockbuster with Colorado that would have netted them Brian Fuentes and Matt Holliday for something like Shane Victorino, J.A. Happ, Carlos Carrasco, and Lou Marson. Those talks have stalled, and the added payroll might’ve been a problem for the Phillies anyway.”

Its an interesting move, but there goes the farm system. What do you guys think?

Wilson – As good as Holliday is, I wouldn’t do that deal. Colorado isn’t one of these small market teams, I can’t see why they’d give away Holliday at this time. They should be looking to build around him, not trade him. I think this is just a wild rumor that someone’s dreamed up.

Also, a good hitting catcher is always superior to a power hitting corner outfielder.

Holliday would make your offense the best in the national league! If they get him you would not have to worry as much about picking up another starter!

True. How about Burnett? He is a #2/3 starter. Whats up with myers? Is he coming back?

Gillick is trying to stay away from guys that break down. I don’t disagree with him on that one. Burnett is always broken down. He’s also streaky, just like Myers. Myers is coming back next week against the Mets. If he can come back and pitch to his potential he is our #2 guy. As for Holliday, yes a trade is in the works centering around Victorino and prospects. As long as Marson isn’t given up I’d say pull the trigger. Werth can play CF and imo is better than Victorino.

Yeah, Blanton is a good #3. He eats innings. He gives up runs, but he’ll get support. He’s better than a 4.96 ERA. I’m not in anyways concerned about the back end of our rotation. Moyer/Kendrick is incredible for our #4 and #5 guys. Our whole season may rely on Myers.

Nah, Moyer and Kendrick are fine.

A bat that can get on base and hit in the clutch. ie Holliday.

The pirates would look to trade nady and bay but would they trade with philly?

Is Atkins on the block? He would be a get pick up and that would be a scary lineup. And 3rd base is a position you can upgrade. With Jenkins and Worth platooning in RF then 3B is the only other position you can upgrade for that type of player.

Yes, but he is a player you are going to have to give up a lot for! Is it worth giving up he farm system for? Even your top pitching prospects.
