Phillies VS Braves-Game thread.

Harang against Woods. Harang was going strong until his last game. This game is up for grabs. When I see the lineup later I will get a feel for he Phillies chances. Can't help but think that Galvis will still be batting 8th
while Utley will still be batting 3rd. And of course Sizemore will be hitting 5th. The standard Ryno looney tune lineup. If that happens then the Phillies will lose again!

If he wanted to shake it up against a lefty he could leave Howard off and go with
Revere
Galvis
Herrera
Ruf
Utley
Ruiz
Asche
Francouer
Pitcher

That is a pretty good lineup. However I would switch Asche with Utley. But Ryno Being Ryno he will try to avoid hurting Utleys feelings and continue to bat him 3rd. Putting in the best lineup in order to increase scoring will not
happen as long as Ryno is the manager. It is amazing that we have a GM and a Manager that have little to Zero
amounts of common sense!

ahahahaha! I know just like last time! (I can only hope)

Galvis is still hitting 8th. Yet Francouer is batting 5th. Francouer is zero for his last 20 at bats. Galvis shoud be batting in front of Ruf..

Damn, I saw the 3-0 score after 1 and I figured Utley had to have gone yard

Francouer is ok batting in that spot tonight against a lefty. The problem is when Francouer gets a couple hits dumbass Sandberg will leave in the lineup for the next 5 righthanders they face and he'll go 1-20 or something.

That was a nice single up the middle by Ruf in the first. Utley is headed to a 9 for 90 start -.100, 1/2 the Mendoza line. Is there a name for it? Warm body line?

 

[jvett77]

The Phillies are dead last offensively in MLB by a wide margin. .192/.260/.295. They can only improve, I think.

 

[Cedrique]

That HBP will help the on base percentage...

 

[jvett77]

lol. One measley point at a time.

 

[Retroram52]

Holy Cow. Two-wins-in-a-row?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Well at least we got out of another Diekman scare. He can not come in a game without issuing a walk.

 

[jvett77]

Ruf 3rd hit. Too bad Darin, you'll be riding the bench tomorrow.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Ruf 3rd hit. Too bad Darin, you'll be riding the bench tomorrow.

Wow! Ruf and Francouer both hitting over .200! Things are looking up. I think you are right jvett. Ruf will be punished wit a benching. Amaro must have an upset stomach after Rufs most recent games. He is 8 for his last
14 at bats.
