Phillies come to the Globe May 16-18

Ya gotta load the gun Joey.

I've got little to no problem with Joey's Ks.....However, to take one RIGHT DOWN THE OLE PIKE with the bases full is quite another thing.

 

[DT LUNA]

I like Lino in the 9 hole.

 

[donaldson79]

If my aunt is to be believed, this pitcher for PHI and I share some ancestors.

Therefore...."Who the hell cares fella?" I mean really!

 

[DT LUNA]

Execution

 

[RevSader]

Didn't you say earlier that you expected Hoying to be brought up and for Delino to get the starts in CF while Rua started in LF? Seems like I remember you saying that.

What I expected and what happened did not end up being the same thing. Obviously Banny has no faith in Rua starting in LF for the foreseeable future. I am okay with Hoying playing defense though.

 

[donaldson79]

I like Lino in the 9 hole.

I hear that.....But I really like him leading off more. Maybe just me.

Can't quote the stats, but Capt Saddles can....ha ha..... about what his avg/stats are when LO as opposed to not.

 

[DT LUNA]

WE're going to end up on the short end if we keep lrisp

 

[Nightcrawler]

Nice to see Hoying with a very rare contribution on offense.

Starting pitching has been damn good. That should buy a few more innings to build a lead for the Jekyll and Hyde bullpen.

Not enough career PAs at another spot but leadoff to really trust the data, but he has a better career OBP when he hits 9th.

 

[donaldson79]

I am leery of the fact we've got 5 hits, 2 W, and an error, yet only have two runs after two innings.

That is what I meant too.

This may be one of those, "screw the stats moments" then.

2 years ago, he was our OL hitter and scored 49% of the time he reached base, if memory serves.

That was probably the best work he will ever do in the majors. It all went right for him in 2015.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I hate that I'm mainly rooting for Lucroy success so we can ship his ass out of here.

 

[DT LUNA]

Philly needs a CFer bad

 

[RevSader]

Well look at Hoying doing stuff.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

HOYING CONVERTING THE SportsHoopla FAITHFUL.

 

[DT LUNA]

Holy Hoying!!! Did you see that Tyler?

How can anyone argue with that? ha ha

I am not rapped up in stats, generally speaking......But Damn-Nation, to score every other time you get on base for a season? Really?..........Not kidding, that sounds/seems like "one of few" who has done this.

Does anyone have a clue?
