Phillies-Tigers series.

[Omar 382]

I just saw Howard smoking a Maverick in the dugout. The guy truly is cancerous to this team!

 

[Cedrique]

What happened to Odubel? Was he doing his Rollins impression ?

 

[Omar 382]

Yeah, pretty much

 

[Cedrique]

Did he really have to take him out of the game now? I would think you'd want the best hitter in the league batting right now

 

[Omar 382]

You don't question Mack

 

[Cedrique]

Yeah, I guess you gotta be walking on eggshells with a stud hitter like David Lough waiting to take your job

 

[Omar 382]

Well, good night everyone

 

[Cedrique]

Way to make a statement Mackanin.

 

[Retroram52]

WTH? 5-4 loss and we start off on the wrong side of the win column. This team is bipolar.

More like Bi-Howard!

Now Odubel knows he may have cost the Phillies the game since he was due up in the 9th. A fine wouldn't be enough. This will teach the little bastard.

Odubel has been served. Mack did the right thing. The theme for the Phillies this year is hustle. No player
is above the team. Odubel needs to apologize to his manager and his mates.

Yeah, Mackanin said it was not a one-time thing so he was just trying to keep players in the habit of hustling over the course of the season, even if it hurt their chances for this game. It's up to Herrera how he responds going forward.

I'm sure Herrera knows what an ass he was. Any player doing well may sometimes think, "fuck this, I ain't running this out."

 

[Omar 382]

This is an area where I say fuck the "nerds." I support Mack- if Odubel had hustled he may have been safe in a crucial part of the game

 

[Cedrique]

I just saw the lineup for tonight's game. They switched Joseph to 4th, Howard to 5th. I guess they are afraid Verlander will carve him up even though he is a righthander.

Odubel
Galvis
Franco
Joseph
Howard
Ruiz
Hernandez
Goeddel
Bourjos

Ruiz should follow Joseph. They will pitch around Joseph if there are runners on base. Howard is an automatic out.

 

[Cedrique]

Howard!

 

[Cedrique]

Hellboy is pitching a gem and they're wasting it
