I think the Phils can win another game in this series.

Phils' outfield is hitting .142 or 9 for 63. Two choices. Let lead-foot Ruf play or demote Goeddel and bring up Nick Williams. This may be too hasty but they may do it after a month or two, especially if Williams is hot.

Yeah, the more I look at the Phillies offense it is shockingly bad. It was nice to see them get a couple wins for their starters this weekend though.

Goeddel is a rule 5 so they can't really do that. I think they should just play him for a while instead of Hunter or Buriss and if they decide he is not that good just offer him back to his former team.

Actually, it seems like the Phils might be more patient with Hunter this season. The guy is 28 but has had four very good years in AAA/AA and was ignored by SD, getting into only 6 games in 2011:

2012 .268/.355 5 HR
2013 .295/.344 12 HR
2014 .295/.386 14 HR
2015 .283/.331 12 HR

I agree jvett. The offensive bats we saw in ST have once again gone down the toilet. Something has to be done to get everyone going.

 

[BPNAZ]

lol, of course they just forget how to pitch or hit with the god awful Padres at home......

Down 3-1 bottom of the 5th. This is laughable.

 

[jvett77]

Phils down 3-2 in the 6th. No fear. The booming bats in the Phils' lineup, Franco, Herrera, Rupp, Hunter, and Howard will get 2 more ABs. I'm totally confident. Yup! Drink up, give it time.

 

[Omar 382]

this is anarchy

 

[Omar 382]

Do these assholes still not understand the infield fucking fly rule? Still? I learned that rule when I was like 7

 

[Retroram52]

3-3 in the bottom of the sixth. Good call jvett. This is where our pitching takes a nose dive however.

 

[jvett77]

Guess I forgot about the Ruf factor.

Phillies Cedric Hunter an Early Feel-Good Story

Ok, that's a good story. I'm now ranking him ahead of Emmanuel Burriss and Peter Burjois
