Phightins Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 ^ you care enough about baseball to drag your ass to 80 Phillies games throughout the year? that's amazing to me. lol, congrats, though. Um. Do I care enough about baseball? You haven't seen me post much have you? Lolz. Actually it is just a 17 game ticket plan (I usually wind up at 25ish games total).

The Truth Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 ah, that's better lol. it's just weird to me because I'm not a big fan of baseball. my cousin's a huge Dodger fan and he goes to like 60 games a year. you couldn't even pay me to do that lol.

Phightins Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 At some point I plan on upgrading to a full season plan. Just can't afford it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 you'd go to 80 games? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Probably not, but I'd go to all that I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 that's crazy. I wouldn't even go to that many basketball games. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well, baseball/the Phillies are my biggest passion, so I'd love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Dom Brown has a broken hand. First the Flyers, now this. How the hell can today get any worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Observations through first few weeks of ST... Ben Francisco is having a fantastic spring, which is nice since he is basically the starting RFer by default now. John Mayberry Jr. is also proving that he can be an adequate 4th/5th OFer, which is nice. Still can't hit a breaking ball for the life of him, so I'd say it's officially time to give up hope of him ever being an impact player. Also, Mike Stutes and Matt Anderson have been my favorite stories on the pitching side of it. Stutes is probably either the closer or setup man in 2012 and beyond, and he is making a legit case to break camp with the team this year. And obviously Anderson is a neat comeback story, but probably still a super longshot to make the team out of ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Wilson Valdez, Delwyn Young, and Josh Barfield having incredible springs. Combined 37-for-88 so far. So I guess that is some slight encouragement if Chase needs to spend time on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Scott Proefrock (assistant GM) said it "remains to be seen" if the Phillies have interest in Castillo. The fact that he did not shoot it down immediately tells me that they are definitely interested. Ugh. Well, on the bright side it would probably only cost pennies to get him. But I'd still rather give Barfield a shot first. Also, more cuts today. Mike Stutes sent to minor league camp. Fully expect him to be back at some point this year, and perhaps even be the closer in 2012. Dude is filthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Close to signing Luis Castillo. League minimum. Fine, whatever. He can challenge Josh Barfield and Wilson Valdez for playing time. Not like there was a more intriguing option out there. Biggest issue is that this seems like an admission that Utley will be out for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Time for spring training to end. Guys are dropping like flies. Oswalt hit in the head with a line drive today. Sheesh, hope it isn't serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Also, more cuts today. Mike Stutes sent to minor league camp. Fully expect him to be back at some point this year, and perhaps even be the closer in 2012. Dude is filthy. Stutes was brought back the other day when Lidge was injured. Legit chance of making the team now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Baseball in Philadelphia tonight! Also... So pretty :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like Luis Castillo will be the opening day second baseman. And IMO he should lead off. No, I am not insane.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like Luis Castillo will be the opening day second baseman. And IMO he should lead off. No, I am not insane....The only productive lead off quality he has is giving a long at bat, not sure if that's what your looking for, just saying...

Phightins Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The only productive lead off quality he has is giving a long at bat, not sure if that's what your looking for, just saying... I agree. That's all he does, which is enough for me haha. It'd allow them to move Rollins and Victorino to the middle of the order, which is where they have to be with Utley out. Castillo sees a bunch of pitches, unlike anybody else in the lineup. Not the ideal leadoff hitter, but I think he is the easy choice in this lineup, given all the shit going on.

Phightins Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 And just like that, Castillo is released. Hah, didn't see that coming! Guess Delwyn Young, Mike Martinez, and Pete Orr are all on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Orr and Martinez are on. Young to AAA. Herndon gets the last bullpen spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 The reaction Cliff Lee got last night as he walked in from the bullpen last night was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
