With this woeful offense,you’d think a creative manager might want to do some things to energize his team
Like, say, Showalter is doing with the Mets. Like maybe, being aggressive on the base paths , hit and running, maybe bunting away from the shift
And I can hear Girardi’s response “well, we’re not built that way”
Okay, so how’s that working out
If they’re u dear 500 by April 30, does Dombrowski have the balls to pull the trigger?

[bigel57]

PS Why would they not have signed Jankowski ,who signed with the Mets for $1.2.
Guy is a better/ OF ,with speed and a higher OBP. Than any of the current crop of stiffs playing CF?

[bigel57]

In addition to the many offensive failings,the Phillies don’t run the bases.I.e the Mets have stolen 11 bases,the Phillies 2.. need a new Manager

The one time he should be starting Camargo is when he doesn't. Not sure why you have Didi in the game and not Camargo against a lefty.

The Phils main problem is pitching and defense which compounds their problems at the plate!
A lot of these problems have been caused by a poor farm system. They've had poor scouting, poor development and have traded a lot of talent away.
At the major league level the Phillies aren't built to steal bases, hit and run, etc., because they are too slow and K too much. How many times have their runners already gotten picked-off at first?
The current mentality is to have a bunch of power hitters to hit HR. I believe this mentality has screwed-up some of their non power hitters in the past and causes excessive strike outs.
Team offense is 10 out of 30, while team pitching is 27 out of 30. Team defense is 23 out of 30.

Segura didn't take the best path to that to help preserve the no-no, but would have been a tough out, admittedly.

[BelmontShore]

Hey. Look, a 2-out hit for an RBI!!!

[mrmountie]

Vierling is starting to hit a bit just in time to get banished to the bench forever.
