2011 ST Random Phillies Stuff III: The Search for Grit

Twins were BABIPPing long fly balls off him -- some over the fence. He struck out four though. Maybe MattS could write something encouraging about him if he still wrote stuff here.
Hamels singles. Can he play 2B?
Rollins pops out and Castillo hits the ball!!!!!! Not well though -- two out. Ibanez out too.
1-2-3 for Hamels in the 6th.
Blackburn making the Phillies look like Little Leaguers.
Phils work on inning ending GIDP in the 6th.
Hamels is done after striking out his 7th. Everyone's favorite Denny Baez in there now to show his stuff.

Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Not a fun game. Now scrubs in. Baez and Romero to close it out for the Phils. Ruiz and Gload had two hits apiece.

Everone's favorite J. C. Romero does what he does. Puts guy on base and gets the GIDP. Castillo grounds out. Oh for seven as a Phillie.

Right you are Bob. Now it's rally time as Sullivan walks and Mayberry singles for Ben Francisco. Joe Nathan, who isn't really good any more, is on the mound.
Delwyin Young drives in the first run and Sardinha delivers two more with a double and the radio just died,

Just get Kratz to the plate somehow. That's all I ask.

Radio is back to life. Lidge in. Lidge strikes out the first two guys I think -- then he gives up a really long home run followed by a single. I don't know who any of these guys are that are batting for the Twins.

My ipad just told me that Lidge struck out two straight batters with three called strikes each. Is my ipad hallucinating? Or did the Twins break all of the available bats?
Then I see Pitch 1:in play, run(s) so somebody must have had a bat.

Miscalculation on Brad's part. You can't work on your slide step when they're clearing the bases with homers.
Edit: Oh the walk and hit were after the HR. that's better.

He walks a guy. Working on the slide step now. Two on two out. Walks another guy and here comes the roly poly lefty.

It's some technical, semi-full functional limitation with pitchtrack according to ek, but I think he's just an enemy of awesomeness.

“Ruben and Scott were sitting there like they were in a NASCAR race,” recalls Gillick. “Just sitting in third place, idling, letting New York and Texas blow their wads and do what they had to do.”
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

I don't think those Spring Training stadiums have the fancy technlogy you need for the whole Pitch Fx thingy.
Anyway, utility infielders all make outs in the ninth and the Phils lose 7-3.

A must-read.
“That reaction from Jayson was funny,” says Amaro in his office in February, again flashing that smile. “He was pissed off. He had just signed with Washington. He said to me, ‘You dumbass. You could’ve had both of us.’ And I said, ‘You’re the dumbass. You could have taken our arbitration offer.’”
