  • Phillies score only 1 run in four consecutive games

    It is going to be a long season for the PHillies. This week they had 3 outstanding pitching performances and only gave each pitcher 1 run of support.

    One thing I have noticed about teams that stay on top for long periods of time like the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Braves is that they know when to let aging veterans go. Not the Phillies, they sign them to long contracts and go out and get other aging veterans to join them!!

    I think a big reason why the Phillies organization often holds onto aging players is for the fans and lack of faith in their farm system. Why else did they sign Howard, Utely, and Rollins to multi-year deals for arguably too much money?

    Having a front office that believes the ability to get on base through walks is an almost worthless ability isn't a good sign, either.

    I'm probably wrong, but that's my theory.
