    I was too lazy to write a post on the Twins series so I’ll do both the Twins and Jays series. The Twins series was just a big disappointment after the first game. During that series, I’ve concluded in my humble opinion that Johan Rojas should and will be the everyday center fielder. It’s like…

    Sorry for the lack of blogs to the nine people reading this. I’ve been on vacation for a few weeks and haven’t had the chance to post. Man what a series! Michael Lorenzen throws a no hitter, Nick Castellanos is hotter than the sun, and Trea is back. First game, Wheeler looked pretty good. He…

    Well, I’ll give this as much effort as the Phils did against the Brewers; strong in the beginning, weak towards the end. Nola looked like the guy we needed all year (where have you been pal?) going 7 1/3 k’ing 6 and no walks. It’s his second start in a row without walking anybody but…

    First, I know I missed a series. I was away playing baseball haha. Second off, we’re so back. That series was looking grim after Friday’s game but sweeping the double header on Saturday was huge. Then Sunday happened. I went to the game at 12:30 and was there until 8:15. Just like we drew it…

    That was pathetic. How do you score 19 runs in one game and score 5 runs the rest of the series? I’ll tell you: inconsistency. 7 runners left on Friday, 8 left on Sunday. Also, the defense did not help on Friday and Sunday. I know Ranger gave up that grand slam, but it doesn’t…

    Another post, another series win! Hell, a series sweep! The pitching definitely carried the Phils. They only gave up 7 runs, 6 of which were earned. Taijuan looks like the guy that we thought we were getting at the beginning of the season. Way to show up halfway through! His ERA in June is 1.50…

    Second blog post, second series victory. Now I wish I started this earlier! I don’t care if it’s the Triple A’s. They swept a series. Would you rather them lose it? I want to start with June Schwarber. What gets into this guy? It’s like clockwork. Every June this guy just rakes. He’s hitting .254…

    Here’s the deal: I’m no Jeff Passan or Scott Lauber or major journalist. I’m just a guy who plays baseball and watches a ton of Phillies games so in my mind, I’m qualified to have an opinion. I’ll be posting after every series, and what series to start with! Three of four from the D-backs,…
