Series Thread: Phillies @ The Mets-04/14/15 - 04/16/15

[Used 2 B Hu]

I didn't know they moved them in, but I should have known when the PHillies hit 4 HRS, something is up

With all our pitching, you'd think we would want to move em further out...but with our offense, they wanted to give a better chance of scoring, and hope the starters all toss shutouts. We'll probably see a lot more games like tonight at Citi

Phils should have won this game. The power was there but the guys needed to get on - Herrera and Galvis were ice cold, and of course, nothing from Howard.

I have never been in favor of releasing a player due tons of money. That being said Howard has fallen so far, looks so lost at the plate, and is really a drag on the entire team. I think that Amaro HAS to consider releasing him for the good of the team.

 

[jvett77]

They will have to so something this year. I'm sure of it. But not until someone breaks out in a big way like Asche, Brown, or Ruf with some needed power. At that point they'll have to drop Howard in the lineup and/or platoon him. Fans are tired of this shit and it's embarrassing to Howard also. Watch me be wrong.

 

[Retroram52]

Darnell just took a hanging slider out of the park for a 2-1 lead.

Down on the Pharm, Roman Quinn is tearing it up as the Reading Phils Leadoff hitter.

 

[Retroram52]

Is that a Ruf sighting?

 

[Retroram52]

Asche is on fire!

 

[Retroram52]

Rupp sneaks one through and he is 2 for 2 tonight. Good to see Rupp coming along nicely.

 

[Retroram52]

Revere breaks his bat and we leave two on. Damn it!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice snag by Revere or that is an extra bases hit.

 

[Retroram52]

Williams serves up another base hit and the lead is now 3-1.

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez sucks at second.

 

[Retroram52]

Another base hit served up by Williams.

 

[Retroram52]

Whew! We barely got out of that inning without more runs and they had the audacity to show braindead in his box. Frikin' idiot!

 

[Retroram52]

Very nice double by Herrera. The second extra bases hit tonight for Herrera.

 

[Retroram52]

Tied for last in runs scored. Then they show puppet Sandberg who still can't figure out that you should bench Howard and play Ruf.

 

[Retroram52]

Utley bunts and gets Herrera and Hernandez to move up.

 

[Retroram52]

Francoeur walks and the bases are juiced. Score some runs you knuckleheads.

 

[Cedrique]

Is Sandberg high? Why is Utley bunting there?
