Phills vs Rays...the rematch

Recommended Posts

I don't have the MLB package on the internet this year and have been staying out of the bars so I don't get to see many Phil's games unless they are on regular TV. Spend alot of time watching the MLB channel and love the live look ins that they do. They do a great job covering the games. Wonder if anyone is showing this series on regular TV?

fug that guy....you guys can have him back

It really pissed me off trying to argue with all the Philly fans who were so mad about them letting Pat walk and then they got even more upset when they signed Ibanez because no one really knew who he was because he played in Seattle. It was such a good move but people were to blind to see what a great move that really was. Sometimes I hate Philly fans. :)

both teams not doing great,but still should be a good series....hopefully there isnt a bunch of Phillie douches at the Trop

You still haven't told me what the score was yet.....:D

Saw some of the highlights (or lowlights in your case) and that place was full of Philly douche bags.

Blah, blah, blah...did you guys see Pitching Jesus blank the Yankers?

I did, (in between games of ping pong with my son and texting Jkeough about the Phillies/Rays game).

Hansen got robbed on that one strike 3 pitch to Jeter with men on. Right down the middle and he calls it a ball. Rookie vs. Jeter ump gives it to the veteran. At least it didn't hurt him.

Hansen still has a long way to go though....

I don't think the GMS triumvirate of pitching awesomeness every really did much mentoring.

People could learn by watching, but those dudes were all business on the field, and as soon as they could they would beat it to the golf course.

Swai I lurve them so much.

Just pitch, save the drama, do your work, leave.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
