When you have runners on base and in scoring positions, the simplest and most judicious thing to do then exactly that northeast: Advance the runners.
We have had this very bad habit, dating back to the days when lardass, Utley, and Rollins were here of swinging for the fences and missing, stranding runners when it was and is not exactly necessary to do so.
This is one of those team strategies that simply has not been cemented in our approach to winning over a very long time and we have paid a heavy price for it.
Whatever happened to the hit and run? Run and hit as well. Hopefully they will work on it.When you have runners on base and in scoring positions, the simplest and most judicious thing to do then exactly that northeast: Advance the runners.

Too funny jvett. I hope you and flex are right for a change!!
Kingery has a 6 game hitting streak. Hope Flex starts him on Monday. Hernandez is effective in lead off spot,You know, the Phils haven’t had three consistent over the top hitters in their lineup since Howard, Utley, and Rollins who were really good from the day they started for the Phils. I’m thinking Herrera, Hoskins, and Kingery are headed in that direction. And with the pitching coming around, I don’t see how the Phils won’t make playoffs. I like to get excited early.

he sets the stage. Nick is coming along. Santana, should improve. Franco and catchers are lagging.
