If you don't like baseball start your own thread, I don't want to hear that I haven't watched major league baseball on this thread. Looking for a Phillie fan or two to discuss baseball.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

My Wife's brother is a scout for the Phillies and has been for twenty years in the MS and surrounding areas. He watches baseball games 365 days a year it seems. He has a League Championship ring and of course a World Championship ring. The later is as big as a fifty cent piece and is studded with a ruby P surrounded by diamonds. Pretty cool ring. Sorry I do not follow baseball but I know he said they had a pretty good team this season and was tied or ahead in their division a while back. LLL

When the Phillies hired Joe Girardi as manager I thought it might be a good choice, now I am not so sure. Many times this season when a player had a good day at the plate it seemed to me the next day he got a day off. For example the other day Hererra supplied most the offense by hitting a double and a homerun, next day he is on the bench. That wasn't the first time that happened to him. It also happened multiple times to Hoskins, Segura, Harper and dang near everyone. I also think he leaves something to be desired the way he handles the pitchers.

Some of these managers feel as if they constantly have to tinker with the lineup to justify their position as manager. Several years ago Cleveland had a designated hitter by the name of Travis Hafner. NOTE, I SAID DESIGNATED HITTER. He doesn't play in the field. Cleveland had a double hitter and in that double hitter, Travis hit 3 home runs. He may have had other hits also but he had 3 home runs. The reason I remember this is the manager gave him the next day off. My dad and I still laugh and joke about that today. Travis must have tired himself out trotting around the bases so he needed to rest the next day. The manager's explanation was that he was scheduled to have the day off. Sure rest your hot hitter. He should have waited a few days and let him play while he was hot.

That is exactly my point CH, it seems when they have a good day they earned a day off instead of staying in the lineup and carrying the team for a few games. I get a kick out of relief pitchers. They pitch 2 innings over 3 days and then they can't be used the 4th day in a row so they get the day off. I played softball until I was 50, when we played in a tournament we sometimes played 6 games in a day. That's what we got for being in the loser's bracket early..

Hererra had two hits last night, he got another day off for tonight. Tonight's starting lineup has 3 starters in it. True, there are some injuries, but not that many. It almost looks like a Triple A or Double A lineup for tonight. The team is 3 1/2 games behind the Braves and the manager throws out a lineup like that. The leadoff batter is hitting .240, the clean-up batter is hitting a scorching .219 and now get this, the number 5 hole hitter is batting .000.

Seems to me if a player is seeing the ball well and hitting well …. You have him do what he is payed to do…. Play ball.
I have found that I enjoy the game much more now that I watch any team any night. I don’t just follow one or two teams anymore. Watch any major league game that is on. Heck , I can only name a few of the Tigers players !!!
Oh, and finally—- I think pitchers should hit….. and get rid of the shift… play the positions and serve it up !! LOL
A goose may honk....but he won't wave

The Phillies have been on a bit of a roll since I started this thread. Is Moosetrot a Wisconsin Badger fan?
