    Good grief - i may have to pull out my 2008 Phillies DVD and watch that - this is too depressing.

    Now it's seeing eye hits.

    If I was the Phillies pitcher I'd hit Nava right in the ribs with a fastball...we need a bench clearing brawl to get this team motivated...something...anything!

    Has an NL pitcher ever given up more than 13 hits in 3 innings? Very impressive, Mr. Blanton!

    I think the Phillies need to hire a crop duster plane and start seeding those clouds over the stadium, and quickly.

    Now there's a real classy statement from one of the board's premiere sportsmen. You're a dumbass for saying something like that instead of giving the kid credit for hitting a GS in his first MLB at bat.

    Get a clue, your team happens to suck BIG TIME right now...deal with it.

    Hey dufus - ask the nurse at the home to change your diaper - you're getting cranky again.

    If this was a fight - they'd stop it.

    I'm predicting a nice Phillies bounceback win on Sunday - gotta be right sometime. LOL

    Stevek- Remember my prediction about the Phills staff about a month ago on your Phillies thread? Their #3 - #5 starters aren't pitching nearly good enough for them to make a run this year. You can have 8 Chase Utleys on your team, but if you're trotting Joe Blanton and Kyle Kendrick out there for 40% of your starts, its just not going to work. Either they get alot better, you call up some young arms from AAA, or you make a move to add someone else.

    Not taking anything away from Nava, or maybe I am...but throwing a 27 year old rookie in his first at bat, first pitch, a slightly inside down the pike fastball, was pathetic beyond belief. The guy obviously is a free swinger - where were the scouts on this guy and where were the breaking balls away that should have been thrown to this guy? Anybody stepping up to the bigs can hit a fastball or they wouldn't be there - ya gotta make 'em prove they can hit the breaking ball first - pitching 101.

    Plus the Phillies hitting is lifeless out there, and in the field they are making some routine outs into dramatic plays. Yes, you're right about the pitching but I'm afraid that's not the only problem...it may very well be a heart problem if ya know what I mean - hate to say that, but ya can't ignore the obvious symptoms.

    Hang in there, Stevek. So much talent on this team, they just need to catch a few breaks before they get hot again.....and they need to add 1 more top notch SP worthy of a spot in Philadephia. I don't even think the A's would take back Blanton at this point.

    I'm of course concerned, but not worried...it's only June yet. But I don't recall any Phillies team, even the bad teams, going through a stretch like this whereby they looked so lethargic. Ya can't win a championship every season, but at least fight for it, and I just don't see any fight in the Phillies right now.

    It starts with the manager, and I'll say it again for emphasis...Charlie shoulda called for some chin music or a waste high way inside fastball, give Nava a little rib tickler to welcome him to the bigs after that grand slam and him jumping out of the dugout jubilantly waving his hat around, and showing up the Phillies - that was not a discreet curtain call...he likely didn't mean to do it that way, but he did it just the same and it called for a response as noted. Then get the other team hissed off and hopefully the Phillies would respond and get hissed off. Many great managers and pitchers in the past employed strategies such as that - it's part of the game and if anyone can't stomach it, then go watch soccer.

    So basically the Sillies are now left to start bench-clearing brawls just to get motivated? I love it, LOL!!

    I've seen some overly exuberant curtain calls by some of the Phillies in the past.

    I think they should tell Kendrick that he's just been traded to the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese league. Only this time, you should really trade him for some Japanese pitcher(s) and send his arse out of Phili. I still think thats my favorite practical joke video on youtube. I watch it at least once a month.

    Gotta do something, kick dirt on an umpire, get thrown outa the game, do something...but I guess Charlie is just gonna wait it out and expect the Phillies to turn it around. Hopefully that works...I dunno, I remember the 1980 Phillies and how Dallas Green "inspired" them to win, and it wasn't by being a nice guy. Charlie probably figures this team has been in back to back WS and knows what to do - Sure they know what to do, and I'd like to see them start doing it.

    Blanton just trying to get ahead of the rookie -- what rookie would swing at the first pitch of his MLB career? Too bad Nava was keyholing that exact pitch!

    Nice turn around for the Sox since they played at Philly a month ago. They are starting to pitch like they are capable of and they are doing it without one of their better pichers. They are also missing their leadoff hitter.
  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,035 ✭✭✭✭✭
    There's been rumors that Nava can pitch as well as hit, sorta like Babe Ruth used to do.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Shouldn't this thread have been replied to last night?

    The Phillies finally won a game.

    This thread, not the same day, but it wound up helping the Phillies regain their stride, playing better baseball, and I'm taking credit for the Phillies turnaround because I've heard that all MLB players, including Phillies players, read the posts at CU Sports Talk.
