Phillies Starters Have Been Excellent

jvett77 · Jun 24, 2017

in the last 13 games since June 10, while winning only 3 of 13. Starters have tossed 9 quality starts while blowing only 3 games. The Phils have five proven, young quality starters plus the in-progress Velasquez and experienced Hellickson. This means the Phillies rebuild is at least on schedule in that department and the FO deserves credit.

The bullpen has been disastrous along with clutch hitting particularly in the late innings. Not easily done, but when these two elements are fixed, the Phils will move up in the standings. This means further weeding out BP slackers, maybe converting one starter into a long reliever (Vinnie?), and bringing up one or two more AAA hitting standouts by the deadline. Then, the Phils should win a bunch of games to finish the season. I hope the FO sees it like that.

The Starters are showing promise. The Pen still needs work. Clutch hitting with runners on base still has a long way to go. Too bad they will not sign Neshek for another year. He will be traded. We must play 500 ball for the rest of the season just to win 69 games. GO PHILLIES!.

They could win 79 if they follow my advice. :dhd:

Klentak should hire you as a personal advisor. Maybe for unlimited beer and pizza!

Nothing like multiple job offers, Chief of Marketing, Personal Advisor, Manager. I can do it all.

OK. I'll also require a suite at the park and my choice of ball girl for the day.

You can have Amaros old suite. Most ball girls are under age so that will not work! Perhaps a female usher?
Maybe throw in your own parking space as well! Getting exited?

I've seen a few well developed ball girls. But selected eagles cheerleaders would be the perfect back up.

One of these would do in a pinch.

This would be a step up in quality. I'm driving back to Atlanta. :pound:

Shame on you Pivetta after two excellent starts.

I think players that arrive here play really well for a couple of games and then they get indoctrinated into the dildoes/pathetics' "way" of doing things and the tank is on and crappy play becomes the norm.

You may be right at that. Like in the Natural, "Losing is a Disease."

Tanking leads to another number one draft pick! But is it worth it?

They need to concentrate on the real talent at LHV today or we'll be dead for a longtime. That means bringing up Hoskins and Williams soon and getting rid of a few non-contributors from among Kelly, Stasi, Knapp, Rupp, and Perkins. Let Joseph and Hoskins battle it out. Let Williams, Perkins, and Altherr fight it out. Let Alfaro get a shot with Rupp and Knapp. We don't even need Blanco when they bring up some deserving young infielder. The Phillies are so dumb, always calculating what's best a year or two down the road with all the contract and control bs.

Much of this will happen around the trade deadline. But not before unless there is an injury to a starter.

Much? I think they'll drag it out. But I hope you're right. :flypig:
