Reds VS Phillies Game Thread.

[BPNAZ]

Altherr and Hernandez are the only 2 players that better be in the lineup in 2018

and even thats a stretch

should be

1B - Hoskins
2B Hernandez
SS - Crawford
3B - Machado
LF - Williams
CF - Herrera
RF - Altherr/Cozens
C - Alfaro

Knapp, Joseph, Galvis, Nava, on bench

Machado is definitely a pipe dream, but the fact of the matter is simple, they need to score an allstar either for 3B or a corner outfield spot. Even more so if they continue to feel the need to play guys like Herrera, who is exactly what he was to begin with. a Rule V player that has "AAAA" type written all over him

Franco has head problems. The whole team needs a shrink!.

Perhaps they'll get the message when 93 people show up for tomorrow night's game.

I think Franco will get it together after these rough times. His minor league record shows consistent hitting. There must be an unwanted influence like Stairs. Crawford has been struggling so I'm not sure he's the guy yet.

Phillies facing Arroyo today. He has an ERA of 6.75. Will the Phillies make him look like Cy Young?
Can the Phillies score two runs off this 40 year old tired pitcher? Who knows!

 

[Cedrique]

Yes, hopefully this will be one of those shootouts that the designers envisioned when they made CBP. 11-10 Phillies in a walkoff!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

I love home runs. When the Phillies hit them!

 

[Cedrique]

This has Galvis walkoff written all over it!

Kid Galvis hits a blast!

Joseph having a great month of May. Comes through with a big hit! Bullpen now has 19.2 straight
scoreless innings! There are some bright spots1

We won for the third time in 13 games. Nothing sterling to get all lathered-up about but Joseph's homer was a glimmer of light amidst a boatload of crap. The dildoes are still intact but maybe we might see 25 wins by the end of June.

3-2 Phils on the 3-run Knapp homer. Let's see, Knapp has 4 HRs in 49 ABs; Rupp has 4 homers in 107 ABs. Inappropriate hitting .265, Rupp at .234. What do you think?

When you combine the two it looks like decent production at catcher position. Knapp has been a pleasant surprise
thus far. Knapp strikes out a lot but still has a good on base percentage. GO PHILLIES!

 

[BPNAZ]

its just comical that they keep trucking trash like Eflin out there

Eshelman.......Lively, all they fucking do is just dominate in minors. But nah, don't want to use guys with actual talent

Knapp wins there too, .379 OBP to Rupp's .336. Good production from both.

 

[jvett77]

Plus, Knapp is the more athletic. Maybe later this year, sell Rupp high, especially with Jorge waiting for the big time?

 

[jvett77]

To overcome the 3-run lead, Dildoes .216 slackers Odubel and Maikel will have to get off their butts.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Gomez ruins the bullpen scoreless inning streak. Why is this guy even on the roster. Time to bring up Venditte.

When the swallows come home to Capistrano.............happy holidays!
