Phillies season 6

[Wingspan]

Cole Hamels is not big league ready yet. He didn't have a good start last night control wise (5 walks).

what does it take to be ready?

is there a pitcher in baseball that hasnt walked 5 batters in a game? he's still 2-0 in reading and batters are hitting about .170 off of him.

i dont see how that much is going to change between now and september with him.

i say call him up. for no other reason, a left handed starter is needed.

He needs a little more seasoning, IMO. If he completed Spring Training and made a few more starts at Clearwater/Reading then maybe I agree.

But he is coming back from a busted hand and started throwing late. He needs several more starts in my opinion.

Stop saying 'seasoning'! It's actually making my mouth water. Or maybe I'm just drooling because I'm so goddamned hungover.

I honestly don't know why you guys listen to that drivel on WIP.

even still...my question is what will this "seasoning" do? between now and september, he'll get what, 5 more starts? what will will the major revelation be over those 6 games (tops) that he would not get if he pitched those 5 or 6 starts for the phillies?

the phillies need a lefty. if not hamels, who will that left be?

you want to take your chances with Hamels? or some other pitcher from a suckass team that is just looking to dump their marginal players?

i'll take my chances with hamels

I don't think they need a lefty. Boston went last year w/o a LH SP.

They need another starter period. Whether it be a LH or RH. And I think they need a veteran more or less than a 21 year old who's been fast-tracked after missing a lot of time.

My ideal situation for him would be a Seotember call up and then be in the rotation next year.

Anyone see that Kent home run called a foul?  Gods are with us!

Um, did you see the replay? It was clearly to the left of the foul pole. It didn't even hit it.

Do you have to rain on absolutely everyone's parade?

[Rome]

If she won't, I will:

It's currently 9-0 Dodgers.




Lidle got rocked in the 5th.

[Don Ho]

But I still believe!

[PhillyGirl]

one stinker thrown in with 8 good games? OK...no complaints.

Take 2 of 3, tis all I ask

[MURP]

But I still believe!

That lie is so bad I can see right through it on a message board!

[PhillyPhreak54]

I still believe! Print those fargin playoff tickets already!!

P.S - Ryan Howard HAS to catch that line drive. LIke Ed said - who knows how that inning goes if he catches that.

Goddamn 9 runs in the inning. The DOdgers blew their wads tonight. LIeber throws a shutout today.

They showed the replay on Fox Sports West this evening and my son turned it on in the other room and he had no idea it was a replay.  He yells out "Oh my god dad, the Phillies are getting killed!"  Little shtein.  No Xbox tonight.
