Unfortunately, like many things in sports, it is all about potential…
He has the potential to hit one out… You and I don’t…

Sorry, that was rather presumptive of me. I don’t have the potential to hit one out… I really can’t speak for you…
But I could go 0 for 4 with ease…

Hey J Mac – thanks for the kind words and visiting the board.

Well, the Phils just wrapped up what could be their watershed victory of the season, two-hitting the Red Sox with Lee, who was their most in doubt member of the triumvirate. And blasting Becket for five runs. As the resident Philly non-hater, I couldn’t help being entertained. I don’t see many reasons why Halladay/Lee/Hamels can’t set records in the post season.
But if the Braves get it together, they could be one of the few teams that could stop them. I can see an NLCS full of 1-0 games, something legendary. Not that I think our top three starters can match that ridiculous trio, but when hits are that hard to come by, what’s the difference between being one-hit by Halladay and being four-hit by Hudson if nobody scores? And I believe our offense can do as much damage against three mistake pitches from Halladay as theirs can with 8 mistake pitches from Hudson.
I mean our offense as it should be by October.

Man, where did Heyward’s plate patience go???
June 28th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
Man, that Ichiro homer left me stunned. It happened so quickly.

After his flailing last night

Tommy’s leaving pitches up early.
June 28th, 2011 at 10:39 pm
This is gross.

I think it might have to improve to get to there…

These are the times I miss “picture-in-picture”…
June 28th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
Olivo can miss balls with his bat AND glove…
Thank you…
First pitch swinging has NOT benefited us this evening…

Big, grunting uppercuts for everybody!!! Cuz line drive base hits are fer loozers.

I keep feeling more certain that this team needs a different plate approach much more than it needs another player who could easily fall in with Uggla, McClouth, and A. Gonz as players who we over pay and they underperform with the bat!

Sorry for the errors Bub. New to the smartphone world.

Danny, agree 1000%
They’re coming out of their shoes, AND they’re being impatient. Two terrible faults on their own, let alone when combined.

Besides our recent luck with acquiring hitters, I am not ready to trade any of our young arms. Maybe Lowe can go, but it is far to early to tell who is the Jo Jo of our five young guns and who is the Wainwright of the bunch.
Affably Chipper!

I know he has been less than impressive this season, but I see way too much potential in Minor to give him up for a Nate McClouth with a different name!

Alright Heyward lets see some mythical talent
June 29th, 2011 at 12:10 am
Mythical Talent is . . . well . . . the stuff of myths

I hope Schafer starts taking that approach with all the lefties he faces… choke up a bit on the bat, don’t try to do too much with it… at least until he develops an eye for lefties…

This game. Now I like it.
June 29th, 2011 at 12:30 am
Bringing in Scott Proctor with the game on the line is dumb as hell.
June 29th, 2011 at 12:33 am
Whew. Proctor escapes after throwing three friggin’ balls to a .175 hitter.
