Or to the American League. It seems his skill set fits better with the DH as a way to get him more at bats.


He will play every day for the Marlins and then be traded at the deadline.


I'm sure that's the plan, I'd just rather see him in the AL (or at least out of the division).

so maybe his efforts to go with the pitch messed him up. I always thought it was weird how successful he was pulling that outside pitch. He hit a bunch of HRs doing that. Maybe he was trying to be a more prototypical good hitter and go the other way and it actually hurt him? So maybe it was the pitcher's approach, but his own.


We did change hitting coaches in August. <ducks>

Thinking we sign Andrew Miller before the end of the day tomorrow. It’s close.

I thought that he was still under control by St. Louis through next season.

The board outage reset the Andrew Miller joke
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Nomar is a Phillies and so is Manram.

Not sure what to think about this offseason.

Wheeler signing looks great.
Do it again!

So this doesn't get second-paged, since our offseason is over, let's try some Phillies trivia.

What was the first season the Phillies surpassed each of these single-season attendance milestones?

1 million -
2 million -
3 million -
Drunk and stupid is no way to be remembered but it is an easy way to forget.

2 Million - 1980
3 Million - 1993* pretty sure this 1 is correct

This one is correct: 3 Million - 1993* pretty sure this 1 is correct

Only time they surpassed 3 million until CBP opened in 2004.

Missed it at some point, but Brodzinski jumps from Williamsport coach to Phils bullpen catcher, replacing Craig Driver
