Phillies send Mark Appel to the minors

Long 2-run 1st inning bash by Franco today vs the Tigers.

Maybe this is Ruf's 42-HR season. I've said that for five years.

It would be nice to see him play 1st base most of the time instead of platooning him with Howard.

Alfaro is now hitting .400. Even allowing for some regression and imperfect correlation between ST and the regular season he still is probably good for a batting average around .350 this season

I fucking hate when the Phillie Phanatic comes into the booth

Not any longer!

Nola (11.57) is trash.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Phillies lead Braves 9-2. Howard has a double and 2 rbis, Ruf has 2 doubles and 2 rbis.. Phillies are knocking Kendrick around.

 

[jvett77]

Cesar, Ruf, and Howard each have 2 RBIs.

Spring Training Standings

19 homers so far is encouraging. Nick Williams showed his power with that booming 2-run homer in the 8th. With Altherr down, he should be given an outfield shot. If the team can carry a lot of this hitting into the season, it seems like they may very well have a batting order capable of finding a minimum of 81 wins. (Whoa whoa, it's ST.)

Phils in first place

Life at the bottom is devastating
You’re hardly ever debated
The party is obligated
By suckers that wanna be you
And never live with in matrix
And never ever related to struggle and dedication
Your hustle is nominated
Anonymous then you faded
The promises that a victory lap you surely awaited
They vomited everytime that a rapper’s annihilated
Just wish them happy belated
Fuck you I made it, I’m on
