Geoff you disgust me and I wish you were a Mets fan or a Pirates fan. You are the epitome of frontrunners, I bet you didnt even watch before 07 and got all your info from Hugh Douglas on WIP.

No team is solid through the rotation or the lineup, no team goes 162-0, everyone has there slumps and gets shelled. Its baseball, its a marathon not a sprint. Now why don’t you tell me why McNabb and Reid need to go and Rollins, Moyer, Howard, Park, Coste, Ruiz, Dobb need to be cut and we need to bring up all those great guys in the minors to start cause they are ready and amazing.

Dont forget the trainers and the groundskeepers…

And every other fan on here gets away with bashing a player here or there when tehy perform poorly, so its just that im being singled out here. im no worse than a lot of people on here. in fact, theres a few ppl on here who are way worse…

On a positive note… Werth has registered a hit in 9 out of his last 12 games. Ruiz was 2-2 with 2 walks. RAULLLLLL is a beast… top 15 in the NL in RBI, R, HR, total bases, BAvg… etc., etc. Rollins hit a HR in the 5 hole.

Rolling probably won’t win the MVP again..

Dobbs might not lead the majors in pinch-hits..

Chase Utley’s on pace for more errors this year than last…

The reality of the siutation is fans here bitch and complain too much.. if the people on here were GM’s we’d be the laughing stock of baseball.. and YOU, Geoff especially pick a different player and go crazy every other week.. then you calm down on him for a few days.. and then start right back up again.

You don’t like Rollins, Moyer, Madson, Myers, Ruiz, Coste, and whoever else.. but they helped us win the WORLD SERIES last year.. so in less you just completely hate life, why don’t you relax a little, enjoy this baseball team, and give them more than 30 games before you’re ready to blow the team up for the All-Stars in waiting down on our farm

We’re all disappointed that Moyer isn’t performing, but because you’ve been sayung how bad he is all season.. you know think you have some kind of knowledge about baseball.. and you’ve got this venom in every single post that mentions ROLLINS or MOYER.. the rest of us here appreciate the things they’ve done, and hope they can regain their form.. instead of ripping on them on a blog.

holler

Utley, Victornio and Rollins are all slumping lets cut them loose trade them away… who needs em, right! We got donald and marson and stairs man we are all set.

Read the shit you write its ridiculous. Moyer didn’t get 249 wins by accident he has been doing the same thing for 23 years I dont think a light bulb just clicked and all of a sudden everyone figured him out. He is slumping, he will break out of it. We saw how long we stuck behind Myers last year even though he sucked. It will be the same for Jaime.

Too bad we didnt pick up Lowe this offseason.. he would have been a great addition.

Look at our starters and how they’re pitching:

Hamels: improving
Myers: improving
Blanton: slightly improving
Park: greatly improving
—
Moyer: dramatically declining (aka falling off a cliff)

Look, you don’t have to look at the ERAs to notice this. There is an ugly pattern developing with Moyer and I just don’t know how long our team can endure having him out there every 5 games.

I am a fan of Jamie Moyer, nice guy, met him got his picture with him, its on my facebook and the ball he signed is in my office at work. I like the guy.

And Bruce had some great points! I won’t disagree with most of anything he says. He made some great points. So don’t take offense to anything I say its nothing against you. I see your side.

But baseball is a business, your right its not fantasy sports. You want to put the best product out there and the right price for the fans to buy tickets and to win ball games.

I said from day one that we should have hired Moyer as a pitching(bullpen maybe) coach or consultant. And give Happ or whoever a chance to start. Moyer is signed for 2 years making 14 plus when we could have had for less and probably the next 6 or 7 years minimum. If Happ is out there getting shell at an ERA of what Moyer is we would would call that learning experiences. What Moyer is doing is getting shelled.

Give Happ or whoever the 5 spot to gain experience for the future…he can do just as good with the ERA and has better stuff than Moyer.

You take the playoff last year…every team that has seen him time and time again shelled him…he needs help from the umpire and be right on..he doesn’t have the stuff to just get by. I’m not saying its all about stuff, its about placement and command too along with many other things but even when he is on…he still needs to have stuff to get guys out.

I just keep replaying that David Wright bomb in the Mets game and thinking I was watching a beer league softball at bat…

I like Moyer, I’m not bashing him for wanting to extend his career and at the time I think the Phillies thought they would put some fans in the seats and get a 13-15 game winner…but reality is setting in and now we have two years of a bad contract and a guy who come playoff time…last year I would want him on the mound now…I wait for the follow games.

I didn’t see all of the game last night but my friend that saw Moyer pitch earlier this year said that the players even knew early that they weren’t going to win so they were just through the motions and out there getting paid… If that is the case then you have a bigger clubhouse problem…if you know your going to lose when he is on the mound and you are going through the motions.
