An unlikely sweep of the Cubs would say something about our starters. After all, look what Vinnie did last night. We have to get to Lester, Arrieta, and Lackey which will be tough.

One game at a time.

That's the spirit! Go Hellboy! Go Franco!

 

[jvett77]

Way to go Tommy. 2-2.

 

[jvett77]

Franco will be at .198 soon.

 

[jvett77]

Down 6-3. I'm a freakin dreamer. We usually died with Howard, now we're dying with Franco.

The last gasps:
Galvis popped out to second.
Rupp struck out swinging.
Blanco popped out to second.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Phillies left too many men on base. Helickson did not have his best stuff. However I am OK with
the loss. At least we didn't give one away.

There's one guy who's earning his small paycheck - Rhys Hoskins, .351, got his 7th HR tonight.

He will be big in the Majors. He knows how to get on base and hits all types of pitching. The Phillies should send Joseph down and bring him up now. Joseph will never hit for average anyway. I guess we will have to wait
until the roster expands near the end of the season.

I guess we awakened the beast.

Update on Hoskins. He just an Iron Pigs record by reaching base 23 games in a row. He also has a 12 game
hitting streak. Plus he leads the International league in homeruns. (7). WOW!

 

[jvett77]

Hoskins has worked on his Ks too, now 18%. Look at Cozens though - 47%.

Hoskins is the man! Another 3 to 4 years of seasoning and he'll definitely get a shot at a part time role!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Eickhoff pitching well. Phils lead 3-1 after 5. Mack should let Ike pitch 2 more innings so we use
less bullpen. IMO. Franco has been clutch so far.

Thank God Amaro is gone. He would ruin Hoskins. The new regime will not let that happen.

Eickhoff really has problems getting lefties out.. Still a pretty good performance tonight.....

 

[Cedrique]

Geez did the Phillies just bring literally their whole team to the mound to discuss this?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Mack brings in Rodriguez and he gives up a two run double to the 1st batter he faces. Mack sucks!
