Slump was bound to happen. I still expect their pitching will crush pretty much everything in the NL when it's all over if they stay healthy.

as a lifelong phillie fan , i'm not real big on the braves, but you have to admire the organization they do stuff the right way. not afraid to use their farm system. a lot of homegrowns have made it down thru the years.

phils lose to indians 14-2 what a drubbing 7 hrs by the tribe. roy halladay looked like he was throwing batting practice the way they were teeing off.

Funk - call it a hunch, but Utley could be on the Yankees this year. Fits the bill.

That and potentially having to carry Josh Hamilton out of a gutter at any given moment over the remaining 5 years.

God damn I am good.

The Angels new Nightmare middle of the lineup! Hahaha!

good call this would not surprise me. phillies will probably be dumping big money contracts soon.attendance has dropped from all sellouts 43 k plus to the mid 30k's .

angels and dodgers might be right there with them.

Jays made those trades and built them up. I don't think they've even won a series yet this year. Getting their asses kicked by divisional opponents.

Thats partly because Dickey blows, and Reyes got hurt.

funk51 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 05, 2013, 02:33:38 PM »

phillies getting blown out big time 12-0 after losing the previous day 2-0. ::)to the marlins no less......

Texas sweeps The Red Sox in 3 games and have just taken the top position in the ESPN Power Rankings. Best team in baseball right now, bar none.

They should be getting Colby Lewis and Martin Perez back from injuries within a week or so but no idea how they are going to fit into the pitching rotation since the young guys have stepped up but that's the problem you love to have!

Grape Ape · « **Reply #38 on:** May 05, 2013, 08:26:49 PM »

Wish Texas would call up Profar. Dervish is looking to be well worth the risk.

Would be nice but no place to put him right now with Kinsler killing the ball at 2nd and Andrus at SS

Darvish, 127 pitches with 14 strikeouts today plus most strikeouts in baseball is nice too .

texas is not afraid to let a pitcher's pitch count get up above the norm, due mainly to nolan ryan's influence. nolan once threw 235 pitches in a game and look how long he lasted.

Yanks in first.

Yankees also have Granderson returning next week. Hoping they keep Wells in the lineup, and move Ichiro! to the bench.

Exactly. Jon Daniels deserves credit for bringing in the overall talent but Nolan Ryan was definitely the biggest factor in changing the pitching culture by making it an expectation for starters to pitch deep in games.

235 pitches...fucking insane.

Justin Verlander vs. Yu Darvish this upcoming Thursday. Should be a great pitching duel.
