Just what the sputtering Phillies offense needed…

    Would you say it is harder to fix an offense (that you know is potent) or a pitching staff (that you know is potent)? I'd say its way easier to fix an offense as you can have 2 guys in line up hitting poorly and the rest doing well and have 6 guys knocking the ball around. 2 guys pitching poorly in a staff means 40% of your staff is pitching horribly.

    That said, I think the phils will turn this around soon and they will be a force to be reckoned with shoudl their pitching remain steady.

    Also, how about this trivia nerds, has any team ever lost all the games between a perfect game and that perfect pitcher's (in this case hallady) next start, as the phils have done?

    (to play for their AAA team and only be called up to be a defensive replacement/pinch runner/emergency PH option if someone gets hurt)

  3. Vidor Says:

    Yeah, it's a minor-league deal.

  4. P.T. Says:

    Makes me happy as an Atlanta fan to hear, maybe next they'll make a deal for Jody Gathwright.

  5. Jay Gloab Says:

    Jody Gathwright? Is he as good as Joey Gathright?

  6. Andy Says:

    Next they are going to sign Jody Foster to bring some toughness to the team 🙂

    The Phils are getting back into their comfy confines of Citizens Bank tonight. I say the madness ends here. Seven runs?

    113 runs in 23 games at home for the Phillies so far...average of 4.9. I'll guess 5 for tonight.

    No, just 3, which seems to be their high-water mark for the past two weeks. At least they won, with the go-ahead-to-stay run coming on a bases-loaded walk. But the Flyers' game isn't over yet, and they've already outscored the Phillies.
