Looks like the Rangers have the edge in this series with a team ERA of 3.85 vs PHL 4.69. Eflin, 2.81, is a good young pitcher with 4 straight QSs, but the Phils' lame bullpen blew his last 3.

Thanks for dropping by. We too know about lame bullpens.

It's a safe bet the PHI ERA will go down after this series.

Hoying added to the 40. I guessed correctly.

Our 18th ranked prospect, 20 year-old Jonathan Hernandez, seems to have it together both in his attitude and his pitching smarts. This is a very good article about him.

Hickory's Hernandez continues hot stretch

Looks like this series may get wet.

Bannister seems to have some kind of Hoying hard on. The dude is already in the line up over Rua.

May be a RHP for the Phills but Rua needs to hit them also are he won't be much value. Hoying can't hit either. He looks like a hog on ice at the plate.

If he can hit around .300 in the next 4 to 6 weeks, it proves he can hit if he's given consistent at bats.
I don't think he gets that long due to the need to put Joey somewhere after Adrian gets healthy.

So much for Hoying being an extra outfielder. Another player In the lineup that can't hit.
I figured that would happen base on him being overused last year at times.

Rua is not our savior.
I don't think it is about looking for a savior as much as it is keeping the best 9 guys in the lineup and Hoying probably isn't close to being one of those. Now that I have said that, Hoying will hit 2 HRs tonight.

Oh well, we aren't going anywhere anyways so we might as well find out about Banny's lineup making as well.

That would be nice, but he hasn't shown he can hit major league pitching.
