Official Minor League ThreadBen Lively is on a roll. 7 IP 12Ks , 0 runs today
Yeah, no question retro. Nothing positive can come from stupidity. Lets see, call a guy up to the majors because he is hot and your current 1st baseman is cold. Then punish him with bench rot. Screw with his mind while destroying his confidence. I once thought that was an Amaro exclusive, but not anymore.Nary a truer word was related Northeast. I was starting to think some similar about Joseph but you beat me to the post but you are spot on. MacKinin is a dope for doing this when he has a first baseman that can really do well for the Phillies and perhaps MacKinin's blindness is keeping him from seeing that the Ruf treatment he is blinding doing to Joseph has no short or long term upside!
Looks like Joseph is getting the Darin Ruf treatment. Mack is an idiot for keeping this kid out of the game.
Play one game and sit two or three games. Looks like he is trying to convince Joseph that he can't hit righties.
Managers get fixated on that stuff thinking it automatically applies to everybody.

Good point jvett. Where re the stats guys when you need them? However, it's the managers fixationThe odd thing is that righties hit Straily at .275 vs .121 so no reason for Joseph to be out of the lineup.
VotoWhy is Votto trying to make Philly his enemy? Not a smart move bro
Veto Votto! He hates kids!Voto
who cares?Veto Votto! He hates kids!
You sound like WIP! Making a non-story, a story. Really building this up...they even made a poll about it. Anything to get jerky fans calling up.Anyway, Votto should have ignored the fan taunting him and simply walked over and handed the ball to a kid.
