Well shit, Doc is basically dead then.

I forget- did we acquire Tom Gordon with the intent to try him as a starter or was that just terry adams?

Terry Adams. We were the only team that offered Gordon a closer role and were pretty good.

that was just adams. gordon had been great setup guy

Right. He was setting up for a while after being a good closer for couple years. That's where I got confused.

terry adams was a starter when they acquired him though

Eh, half & half at best.

i'm saying he wasn't a setup guy or closer when they acquired him

My last post was referring to gordon. I was just saying that, at the time, they both were given roles for which they hadn't been known.

ah, the way it was written i thought you meant they were both setup/closers, and they tried to make a starter out of one of them

Remember when Paul Abbott started a few games

I tried so hard to like that guy, too

I had forgotten about Terry Adams and I wish it had stayed that way.

I remember he pitched the middle game of a three game set in LA. I went to the Friday and Sunday games. Guess which game they lost...

Terry was alright

Adams had more swinging bunt basehits hit against him than any other Phillies pitcher I can remember. If he had been a better fielder, he could have saved himself like around a million runs.

this is pretty much the only memory i have of adams, him stumbling off the mound to try to field a ball without much success
