The Official Philadelphia Phillies Thread (2010)

Scott Downs could be in that deal with Bautista as well...

 

there could be, it is just not known.

 

All the major Phillies beat reporters and MLB reporters would be all over it if so. None of them are saying jack about it. At this point it just seems like some minor sources are trying to pull in interest.

I'm not saying that it can't possibly happen, but based on what I've read, it's a long shot based on scouts before the Oswalt deal went down.

 

randy miller reported the phillies were scouting the jays games a few days ago. olney stark and timmay stated the same. may not amount to anything but the phils have def been looking. thought i posted miller's comments in here actually.

Roy Oswalt tradeis proof that for Phillies must always win-now - Tom Verducci - SI.com

:icon_eek:

 

Not a good outing by Oswalt. Looked very uncomfortable, looked like he was holding the ball a little too tight. He just never really settled in there. Combine that with the Phillies history in road series openers and you have a recipe for another loss. Eighth straight road series opener loss for the Phils.

Happ. 6 shutout innings, 2 hits, 6K's...lol...

 

oswalt got smashed last time he played washington and was tossed for arguing balls and strikes. he'll settle down just fine.

edit: braves just won in extra innings, 3 1/2 out

 

Hopefully Roy & Chooch can get to learn each other quickly enough to make the adjustments soon. Only one start. I'm not concerned.

 

I don't think there's any need for concern. He wasn't in an easy situation to start and he began to settle down a little bit towards the end there. He'll be fine.

 

After being 0-14 with 8K's against lefties, Big Piece gets his first night off of the season tonight. Brown in the lineup.

What a kick in the nuts that loss was last night. This team is hecked with the bullpen we have.

Rauuuul out today with a wrist injury. Figures this would happen while he's been swinging a hot bat. He did hit a HR after the injury last night though.

 

Still time for some waiver deals...lol...

Howard hurts his ankle in what looked really bad. Being helped off the field. FREAK!!!!

 

howard's injury looked really bad. we can't catch a break this year

 

X-rays on Howard were negative. Hopefully he won't be out too long.

 

They are saying it's just an ankle sprain but they're going to take x-rays as a precautionary measure. Preliminary thoughts are that there will be no need for a trip to the DL.

I'll believe it when the x-ray results come through...

 

Just heard that immediately after my last post...lol...

Good News.

 

Braves lose to the Reds. Mets getting pounded 13-1 in the 9th.

Still 4-4 Mid 8th...

 

Extra Innings...

 

6-4 Phils...bottom of the 11th.

Lidge on the mound...:icon_cry:
