It’s why those 2007-2012 teams were so fun. They didn’t get like lights out starting pitching besides Hamels until they got Lee then halladay then Oswalt and Lee. Bullpen was good throughout. I don’t know what to make of their pen this year. I think it’s going to be boom or bust.
July 24, 20205 yr Aaron Nola looks filthy tonight. More like 2018 nola then 2019 my bad i spoke too soon

It was ashame we didn't have the hitting when we were loaded on pitching with Halladay and Lee 1 minute ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: Aaron Nola looks filthy tonight.

It was ashame we didn't have the hitting when we were loaded on pitching with Halladay and Lee We did they just were so streaky and Howard was never the same after the Achilles and utley began breaking down. The biggest shame in all of it was amaro trading away cliff lee when he acquired halladay. That 2010 team would have been devastating with halladay, Lee and hamels then acquiring oswalt. Would have two big time years of 2010 and 2011. It’s a shame 2011 they matched up with the cardinals in the first round and Howard just wasn’t the same with his Achilles all season and it finally snapped.

Well that's what I meant, Howard and Utley were declining.
July 25, 20205 yr Doesnt matter if Nola is on or off, his delivery always looks weird and akward from the back.
July 25, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Bwestbrook36 said: Well that's what I meant, Howard and Utley were declining. Howard’s wasn’t completely unexpected. Howard was already 30 when 2010 hit. I remember saying don’t give him an extension cause you are going to massively overpay once he hits his massive decline. The injury really accelerated it. But really you saw 2011 his body was beginning to break down cause of his body type.

I remember Schmidt commenting on it and offered advice and Howard wasn't hearing it

July 25, 20205 yr As happy as I am, that the game is back, Im not digging the lack luster offense. The fellas are just going through the motions so far. They got to get something going.

I remember Schmidt commenting on it and offered advice and Howard wasn't hearing it You knew his decline was going to be rapid just based off the fact he was a power hitter and a big guy. Once his bat speed left it was not gonna happen and he was too prideful and too much success to change it. That was Reuben tomorrow’s biggest mistake. As much as I loved Ryan Howard for those five years he was incredible you didn’t need a pay him because he was going to be like 31-32 when that contract started. It absolutely killed the Phillies along with Lee and halladay’s massive fall off the cliff 2 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: I think Hoskins is broken. Needs to be 6 hole. I was for trading him this off-season. And just having bohm play over at first base. And then when kris Bryant becomes a free agent go after Bryant or trade for Bryant have him play third

July 25, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: Nah. Resign JT. Have him ready to take over at 1st in a few years. Bohm should be up now. I still take kris Bryant if they could get him. I can allow Bryant to be a DH in a few years and still have Realmuto play first, catcher and some DH. Even could make Bryant play first. Have bohm at third. Frankly I’d have tried to trade segura too. I just don’t think he’s a good team guy but the reality is i think there’s a big reason the mariners were willing to unload him.
July 25, 20205 yr I really think Didi is going to make himself a ton of money playing in this park. I hope they can re-sign him. He’s a good player but even better off the field.
