Group Project KTE - Phillies Aug 28-30

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2012 08:12 AM

So the Phils started dumping players such as Victorino & Pence at the end of July and August promptly becomes their best month of the year (15-10) Go figure. Tues - 7:05 Young vs Worley 96-9; 4.06; 1.49] ... certainly not matching his surprise rookie year effectiveness Wed - 7:05 Harvey vs Hamels [14-6; 2.99; 1.12] ... CY-caliber year Thurs - 1:05 Niese vs Kendrick [7-9; 4.12; 1.35] ... will be his 19th start of the season mixed in with 12 relief appearances

They're finally letting Domonic Brown play, 100PA, and he's doing okay. (.270/.343/.382) I don't know why he has 2 o's in his name. That's a pretty low slugging for CBP, but small sample still. His middle name is Larun.

Now that Shane Victorino has been traded, it will be interesting to see who jumps to the top of our "I'd like to give that annoying Phillie punk a cup check with a sledgehammer" list. Later

Domonic has got two Os in his first name Larun run run run, Larun run run With Pence and Victorino gone he's in the game Larun run run run, Larun run run. Lousy OPS And his D's a mess But when he plays the Mets he'll really slug, I guess Larun run run run, Larun run run.

Brown's missed the last two games with a sore left knee. More importantly, Calos Ruiz remains on the shelf with a strained oblique and (more importantly) a foot injury. Considering how their whole lineup got old all at once, and they're far from the race, they're in no hurry to rush their All-Star catcher back. Catching and hitting well is a guy named Erik Kratz. He's got a rep as an instigator and wears number 31. Unclear whether that's a Mike Piazza tribute.

I'd like to think that it's a Harry Parker tribute.

Both Brown and Polanco have been out recently but not DL'd. Both are possible for tonight and for the series. The other familiar face missing is catcher Brian Schneider So catching these days is the combo of Kratz (see above) and the just called-up Steven Lerud who actually hasn't seen action yet. 1B thru SS are the rejoined combo of Howard, Utley & Rollins with occasional helpings of Michael Martinez & Ty Wigginton 3B has been mostly Kevin Fransden who is somehow hitting .351/.402/.426 and the OF a mixture of Mayberry, Brown, Pierre and whichever Nix isn't on the Yanx And it should be noted that this crew just swept the Nationals.

Utley is still employed by the Phillies, no? yeah, but you don't need a sledgehammer for that one. Toss him a bag of flour and his knees will crumble like dust.

I know they can go phuck themselves, Victorinoless or otherwise.
