Hoskins is starting to hit like the guy we thought he would be. Santana is not the guy we thought he would be. Crawford needs to get going. The phillies stranded 15 runners today! We need a solid reliever besides
Dominguez. ETC. Please share yours fellow posters!

Only Hoskins and Santana are hitting over .250 in June and we're 5-9. In May six regulars hit over .250 and the team went 15-11.

Phils hitters will need to wake up in the remaining 13 games with Cards, Nats, and Yankees. :eek:

I like the job overall with the analytics especially considering the team’s youth. I complain about his lineups sometimes but in the end the players must do it on the field.
I dont have a horse in the race, but I was kind of surprised they didn't go with Dusty Wathan

I am concerned about Nola. Would not be surprised to see him go on the Dl. He is not himself.

Here’s a good observation. After a 2-7 start in June, Phils took 2 of 3 from the Rockies and from the Brewers. So, if we discount tomorrow’s Pivetta start, we might look forward to winning starts from Velasquez and Arrieta, and taking another 2 of 3, this time from St. Louis. It can happen and the games are at home. :hope:

It will help if you attend some of the home games. They like to win for you!

Spot on Northeast. It appears some days, the BP and the pitching staff drink the same crappy drink/water because they all seem to suck.

When facing exceptional hitters like Carpenter or the Mets’ Wright who always kill the Phillies, the manager needs to tell a young pitcher, “kid, this guy can fucken hit, keep the freakin ball down, don’t give’m anything to hit”. It might have saved Seranthony from giving up the winning late inning blast.

I think they tell the young pitchers. But every now and the pitch lands in the wrong location. However, if they pitch around the hitter it can be avoided. He will learn from this.

For the nostalgic.

Arrieta, 14 games, 5-5, ERA 3.42, WHIP 1.23
Hamels, 15 games, 4-6, ERA 3.41, WHIP 1.23

Too much free time on my hands. Nola!
