Phillies Nation

Way too early to trade anyone. Phils are climbing fast despite a huge amount of injuries. If they get helthy the bench will be the best in baseball. need a reliever or two, but it’s too early for tht.

Seriously, I doubted RAJ, but this bench has saved this season.

Pierre hitting 330+
Nix second in RBI, ! in RBI per plate appearence
Fontenote, just getting started

I said earier the small moves are just as important as the big moves but WOW.

It’s on the Pen and we have Pap and Antonio. Fingers crossed.

I believe the 7 years for Hamels implies a 6 year extension, right?

Ah Brown Ale. Had the Ribs soaking in a nice But Brown ale for a few hours this morning. Added the dry rub abd they’ll be done by 5:30.

Next 10 games are hug. Phils need to win at least 7 of them. Mets, Padres, Stros for 8 at home and then 2 in Chicago. Time to make a run.

4 games out of the playoffs with 134 to play. Long way to go.

No brainer, B. Just hope I’m there with my wife and Kate when they wake up in my bed LOL. RAJ finally learned that the little deals mean just as much as the big deals. Getting TW, JP and LN have kept us hanging around. I could think of many ss and 2b the Phils [...]

Be nice to see the Phils win a few series this week. They’re right there despite not having the two big guns. Great to see Poly hitting again.

Is the site losing members? Is it the poor play or slowness?

Good to see the squad start to hit. Too bad they have a day off now. Let’s take 3 of 4 fromthe cubs and get ready for the intrad-division games starting next week.

About time they got to this pitcher. He throws meatballs and slow ones to boot.

5.5 games back with 2 less games played. They came back from further down with 2 weeks left in the season. No way you blow it up now. they can’t hit any worse and they managed to win 7 games. If you upgrade 25% of your position players that’s a huge upgrade. Way too early [...]

Sad thing is there is nothing at 3rd base in FA next year and Phils won’t get much for anyone, but Hamels and then we need more pitching. really have to hope utley and Howard come back healthy and catch fire. We’re really going to put up a big number in intra-divisional games to stay [...]

Phils need to sweep this series. No doubt about it. You have to beat the teams you should beat.

Freddy is hitting .333 over the last 11 games. Sweet. Mayberry is the opposite. Not Sweet.

The pieces are doing bad but it all gets back to Charlie. Mayberry has sucked since Charlie pinch hit Thome for him early in the year. Pinch hitting for your six hole hitter. I’m done with his gut. He’s been poor since he left Martinez in against Matsui who owned him. RAJ wanted disciplined baseball. [...]

That game is 100% on Charlie and his gut. WTF is Thome doing in there against a lefty? Seriously he lets an automatic K bat and then pinch hist for Pierre whose better against lefties. Should’ve pinch ran for Ruiz in the first place. He was out at 3rd on the Galvis bunt if the [...]

Just really stupid to let Thome hit against a lefty. Does Charlie know that Pierre is better against lefties? Just mind boggling how bad the last inning is being managed.

1st HR wins.
