I am really looking forward to seeing Hultzen and Walker, they seem like they'll do really well. And yes, Noesi needs to at least be kicked out of the starting rotation.

Thats fine, I can see when a Braves fan would be pissed at the Phillies since they have won the division 5 straight times and the Phillies B team swept the Braves in Atlanta and ended their season last year. I just wonder if 2 years ago you were calling the Phillies garbage when they were like 10 games out? Phil are going to get Doc and Howard back and they are going to win the NL East again.

Jason Bay scratched from lineup due to flu-like symptoms. and it starts! at least Hairston in there.
With Howard back in, the Phillies will get all those rbi's they were missing out on!
What a thief...

They definitely pulled guys during the last game at least.
talent on the field will never stop me from calling that franchise garbage.
Howard and Polanco were the only ones pulled, and that was in extra innings. Howard was after getting plunked, if I recall.
Also, you don't get to use the B team argument when Cole Hamels fucking pitched in relief.

Keith was gonna say sumthing mean about Zimmerman's throwing motion but said he wont because it might get tweeted lol
The way Dickey's balls have been moving so far has been magical.

That makes sense to me. I hated the Braves when they used to win the division all the time.
Wat.

Detroit finally getting a nice first inning lead. Wonder how we'll manage to lose this one.

How far is Oswalt?
He's making his second start today I believe. Will probably make 1 or 2 more starts in the minors after that.

But a 4 run lead is very much manageable.

Santana+Dickey. Best 1-2 in MLB.

I'll also agree the Phillies blow ass.
So wait, you're telling me Halladay, Utley, and Howard are going to somehow get MLB's worst bullpen to stop giving up tons of runs at the end of the game?
By the way, when the Phillies win 14 in a row, call me.

He's a bandwagoner. He doesn't have to tell you.

I dont think their bullpen is close to being the worst, plus if they start scoring more when Utley and Howard come back, and giving up less when Doc replaces Blanton or Kendric, then yes that will help them win more games.
Kerry Wood retired, didn't you hear?

... Utley and Howard may not be back until August. Or at all.

Utley will be back before Howard. I heard Utley was supposed to start rehab games shortly.
Leave him to his self-delusions.

R.A. Dickey is good baseball person.
In fairness nobody knows for sure because of the media blackout surrounding those two.

Davis needs to be sent down when Bay is activated. He's painful to watch at this point.

Where did you hear that?
Both guys are already playing in extended spring training games. Utley has actually swung the bat well so far and Manuel has said that he looks great swinging the bat. It is possible that if he comes back first he will play 1st until Howard comes back since Galvis has played such good defense. I think Utley will be back by the start of July and Howard not to far after, but obviously a lot can still change.

All Amaro has said definitively is that Howard won't be back before July 1. They are mega secret about everything.
Replacing one hole with another. The Met way!

Wasn't Bay already activated? He's just still sick from the illness he had since Sunday.

Not like they have a choice with Bay once he's healthy. There's no roadblocks to sending Ike down. Plus as much as we rail on Bay, he's never been as bad as Ike is right now.

TC takes Dickey out and R.A. leaves to a standing ovation. 24+ innings w/o allowing a run.

Byrdak may be spent, he's pitched a lotta innings the last few days.
EDIT: now Gary Cohen is saying R.A. might've tweaked something and TC is taking him out as a precaution.

I'm not comfortable with this!
