Sanchez doesn't waste any time

getting a first pitch ground-out… sweet!

There is no logic to Snell's pitching other than...

million dollar arm, 10 cent brain, and not enough guts to throw inside.

Actually...

I think that one more good start at Indy and Gorzo will be back. That’s not to say that he couldn’t get traded along the line. Considering what we’ve seen out of Gorzo and Snell, I would rather have Gorzo. I believe there’s more physical problems with Gorzo that can be straightened out. Snell…seems to be fine physically.

by Thunder on Aug 9, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know I think Gorzo pissed some people off with his attitude

and the rate the pirates have been if they were going to bring him back he would be back by now…

instead of looking at Herrera and JVB for so long

I guess that

As much as

Snell was supposedly a ‘competitor’ his first few years…I’ve seen absolutely NO hint of that type of attitude this season.

by Thunder on Aug 9, 2008 7:47 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Which is a perfect reason

not to sign players to long term contracts.

and thus trading those players

for hot-shot prospects and adding more depth to the minor league system

If fans in the remote parts of VA ...

know he’s afraid to pitch inside … you can bet ALL the players are aware!

Hire Bob Gibson

as pitching coach. Or better yet…let Snell get in the box against Gibson. Yeah…I know…Gibson is pushing 70…but I bet he’d still brush someone back.

and why are they insistent on making Freddy a Lead off hitter

he has a terrible Average and a terrrible on base percentage. not to mention that he never works the count and be a catalyst like the lead off spot is supposed to be…It makes me sick, At best he could be a 8 hole hitter better scenario would him being a hitter for another team

I see lots of help coming from Hickory

De Los Santos and Simon combined for 1 IP, 2 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 5 BB, 1 K and 1 HBP. Bad news for Hickory is that was in the 1st inning. Obviously, De Los Santos hit his 35 pitch limit with 1 out in the 1st.

Yeah

Myers pitched a bitch on the field, and once they got back in the dugout. Manuel was right up in his face, all like, “Don’t go there, girl!”

Wish our starter

still had that much fire in him after 8 innings.

I'm a rare Phillies fan

because I actually like Charlie Manuel.

Dread Pirate Pearce had no freaking idea

where that ball went. I know, I know, give him time, but DAMN, he’s not very good, guys. Sorry. Now his ankle is screwed up, but he’s staying in the game.

Moss, McCutchen, and McLouth

Triple M outfield for 2009.

Maybe Pearce can be a throw-in to get a decent starting pitcher

Apparently DPP isn't too hurt

he made a decent running catch there

With the game almost over ...

Did anyone notice the guy and gal behind the Phillies on-deck circle …
He was kissing her on the STRIKES … while she was kissing him on the
BALLS!

Somebody

needs to put the miserable P-G editorial staff out of their misery. They absolutely CANNOT see the forest for the trees, and in fact, I’m not sure they’re smart enough to know what the hell a tree is.
