A 7.15 ERA sounds promising.

he better never see a righty. they are hitting over .400 off him. he has a whip of 1.68. this guy is used to pitch to one hitter. he should never go more than two-thirds of an inning. if used appropriately he could be better than a sack of potatoes but ill bet the phils dont use him correctly and his era explodes.

we can hope all we want, and i could be wrong, but im pretty sure this guy is trash and will be cut by september.

I just picked up some play off tickets on stubhub, I don’t know about you guys.

Let’s try not to forget that in 2006 J.C. Romero had an ERA over six. It’s the nature of relief pitching, you can’t really predict success or failure. Gillick has picked more than one guy off the scrap heap in his day.

Oh, and if you guys haven’t heard, Brett Favre got traded to the Jets. I get all the inside info …

that guy he had 18 appearances and 16 of the 18 were scoreless appearances. He got shelled for 9 runs on 1 and 1/3 inning or some shit like that and his ERA skyrocketed. He was also just come back from surgery on those outings too.

I hear the Phillies are looking for a guy with a good arm to be their No.2 starter. Well, I’m one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, so I’m obviously a No. 1, but if this thing with the Jets doesn’t work out and you guys are willing to make me THE starter, I’m game.

Wait, what? What do you mean there are five starters on every baseball team? Well, can I at least be the guy at the top of the depth chart?

Now they need an outfielder who does not suck to come off the bench. giles was hitting close to .300. but tahts too good for the phillies (WHO PASSED) so they are waiting for someone worse.

Great, another re-tread player, another arm in the bullpen that we cant quite trust. You know it is August, because the Phillies start scouring the trash heap for the re-treads this time ever year, that will “put us over the top.” God forbid we make a deal for a starting pitcher that is worth his paycheck like Sabathia. No way! let’s wait until these bum players clear waivers and then we will make a trade for a pitcher that no other team wanted.

I am so fed up with the philosophy of the Phillies organization Let’s not better ourselves where we have glaring holes, let’s just pick up these worthless re-treads, because it won’t cost us anything.

The only way to get to this organization would be to stop going to the games, stop watching on tv, and stop buying merchandise, but nobody would do that, and to be honest with u, i wouldn’t either. This organization has us by the balls, because they could easily go all out and win this year, but instead we will stay where we are, while our main world series competitors, who were better then us beforehand, have upgraded their rosters.

Eyre, age 36, has only pitched 11 innings this year. He’s got 14 SO against only 4 BB. A lifetime ERA of 4.42 . The last three years he’s pitched in 86, 75 and 55 games. ERA’s 2.63, 3.38 and 4.13 in those years.

A good veteran pickup or an old tired arm? Guess time will tell but usually good pitching talent doesn’t get buried in the pen or sent to the minors.

Theyre all douchebags this year…

eyre might be allright for a while, but comeon.. another scrap heap guy you have to hope will be ok.

When Eyre joins the team, the next move would seem to be for Happ to go back to Lehigh Valley. It makes sense since Happ needs to be active as starter.

while its not great having happ keep sitting in our bullpen id hate 4 us to keep wasting his options. so its prob Les Walrond goin down

I’m wondering if the Phillies are require to pick up the remainder of
Eyre’s $3.8 million contract (about $1.5 million still owed to him).
