He is a place holder, not a piece of the future...

Yeah we need to be weeping for the present. I know I do when I see our rotation.

 

[SFGRTB]

You'd think more Phillies fans would be at the park, given their team is, ya know, a half game out of first place...

 

[msgkings322]

Nice first inning compared to yesterday

 

[msgkings322]

Longo!

 

[Stokes1931]

Philth with three homers. We have hit three to the outfield. Nice.

 

[Stokes1931]

I liked the team that played recently in Atlanta. What the heck happened to them? Who are these imposters? Or were the guys in Atlanta imposters?

 

[1phlapdown]

Maybe be get to their 'pen....

 

[Stokes1931]

12 K's in 7 innings.

Tremendous pitching by the Philth

Noxious hitting (or non-hitting) by the Giants.

Yeah, no BBs.

 

[1phlapdown]

Panda

 

[Stokes1931]

Yeah, no BBs.

Now 13 K's

And yeah, no walks.

Now Panda hits one out of the infield! And out of the outfield, too!

 

[Stokes1931]

14 K's

 

[1phlapdown]

Hey, tying run at the plate.

 

[Stokes1931]

Does Posey have any power left? He's on pace for 10 homers this season.

Does Posey have any power left? He's on pace for 10 homers this season.

other than occasional left center hit, he's a right field punch and judy opposite field defensive swing hitter. tbh he's pitched low and outside the majority of the time

 

[1phlapdown]

There goes .... Oooops, Smitty keeps his goose egg ERA.

But he's even missing those few pitches that are down the middle. For such a high average, he is not very productive. Wouldn't want anyone else as our starting catcher, but this lack of power and productivity (producing runs) has been going on for a while.
