Philadelphia Phillies 2011

Chris, are there any weekend series at CBP that stand out to you? I'm looking to go to a Phils game some time this summer.

 

I'd probably recommend the Pirates series next month. Or maybe Marlins. Weekend tickets are so tough to get, especially against good teams. So I'd start there, probably.

Placido Polanco has a "bulging disk" in his back. Not going on the DL though.

 

I really hope this has nothing to do with the all star game (not putting him on the DL). We could really use an extra body on the 25 man roster if he is not going to be contributing this weekend.

I suppose it is pretty cool that Doc is starting the All Star Game. However, I wish he wasn't starting because the starters are required to pitch a minimum of 2 innings. I'd rather see him get the rest.

'80s night tonight was fun!

 

Here is the Phillies lineup as '80s pop culture icons, courtesy of my shitty cell phone camera (easily the best part):

Mayberry is probably my favorite.

Probably, although I wouldn't mind him hitting 3rd (and Utley 2nd). Either works.

 

The Phillies are insane if Brown goes to AAA and Ibanez stays in the starting lineup, btw. Not sure if I made that clear enough. Unfortunately, this is probably what will happen.

Brown needs to be playing every day. So it will either be in Lehigh or here. He just brings so much more "upside" than Ibanez.

 

The good news is that a Brown-Victorino-Pence OF for 2012 is pretty nice.

And sure enough, they are insane!

Shane Victorino is having a sickkk year.

 

.304/.379/.528, 17 doubles, 12 triples, 10 homeruns, 15/18 SB. 5.0 WAR (top 10 in entire MLB, regardless of position). And 7.0 UZR at a premium position.

 

What a beast.

Scott Mathieson was designated for assignment today, despite having a minor league option remaining. So I guess the 5 year Mathieson project has finally come to an end. Kind of sad, I was rooting for him.

 

This move clears up a spot on the 40 man roster. Have to wonder if a trade is coming. Or maybe Michael Schwimer is getting called up (which would be fantastic...1.73 ERA, 81 strikeouts in 62.1 IP in AAA this year).

A 6 man rotation is apparently a real possibility.

 

At first thought, I like the idea. Especially with this Cole Hamels "dead arm" scare. No reason for unnecessary innings.

I feel like everytime I come into this thread Mathieson is DFA
