Phillies come to the Globe May 16-18

I know that was a tough run....but catch the god damn ball Lino

Jeffress won't have an arm left by the all star break if bannister keeps using him This frequently.

They could just as easily lose the next 9 games, but at least this was a fun stretch of baseball.

Been saying this for a while actually. And I can't help but believe his frequency of appearance has got to have something to do with his performances recently too.

And Banister is still spelled with one N. Not that it matters to you.

His velocity is down this year even before the over use. That and his lack of Ks are worrisome.

Fun fact: the Rangers were 1 game under .500 at home before this homestand. Now they are 8 games over.

I do it on purpose. I'm sure you've noticed that none of my other words are ever misspelled. I'll take the effort to spell his name right when he has some playoff success. I'm probably his biggest critic on this board.

Is it just me or does it seem like we only gain ground on the Astros on days that they don't play?

Fun fact: the Rangers have gained no ground on the Astros over the last 10 games. Both are 9-1.

Um...that's not possible. They won one of these on the road before winning 8 at home.

 

[romeo212000]

So this is what a winning record is.... nice.

Was just coming here to correct myself. Sorry. It's been a long day. The loss of Chris Cornell is still weighing on me.

ugh...that shit bummed me out to read about when I got to work today.

That fact doesn't seem so fun to me. If we sweep an entire homestand we should gain ground on just about anyone.

We did gain ground. Just not Houston.

Yea I suppose you're right. The wildcard picture looks a lot better. I'd hate to see Chris sale in a one game series at Fenway for the wild card, that guy is nasty this year.

 

[DT LUNA]

With my winning thread record, the new thread is up.

 

[jvett77]

It's a safe bet the PHI ERA will go down after this series.

Some safe bet. I lost everything except my Phillies season ticket. Guess you enjoyed the batting practice. PHL pitching now at 4.82.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Did Hoying give you nightmares last night?

Sorry bro... but I'm glad to have been wrong.
