15 day dl could have been worse. Kinda wanna see what charlie does to the lineup now. Like I said before I'd leave it the same inless castro is killing us there.If he is then I'm all for shane moving up to leadoff,but I'd give castro a shot so we don't disrupt the lineup if we don't have to.

this offense is awesome and not even in the hot weather yet. the Utley and Howard deep flyouts would have been homers in the summer. so much fun to watch this team.
as bad as the non-Halladay starters have been the bullpen has been pretty damn good so far. not exactly playing the yankees yet but are kicking ass and taking names - i love it.
I had tickets for friday and saturday this coming weekend. Decided I was gonna pick one game to go to and sell the other game. Saw Halladay was pitching saturday, so it was a no brainer. Put my Friday night tickets on facebook and they sold within an hour. Then last night I hear fucking moyer and halladay switched turns and moyer is now pitching saturday.

"They've both fallen in love with their cutters," he said.
n that the cutter (a variation of the slider) is the kind of pitch that tends to detract from the rest of a pitcher's arsenal if it's thrown too often. Specifically, he said, he thought it was hurting Kendrick's sinker and Hamels' curve.
That theory took on a little more gravitas when Kendrick went out shortly afterwards and was tagged for six runs on six hits and three walks in 1 2/3 innings.
Which, in turn, triggered a memory of what 283-game winner Jim Kaat said this spring when asked about Hamels, an eerily similar observation.
"I read where they were going to teach Cole Hamels a slider," he said. "I was a [Twins] teammate of [manager Charlie Manuel] and I follow the Phillies. I just kind of wanted to warn him that I learned early in my career, actually from Whitey Ford, it's very rare, if at all, that you find a pitcher who has a good curve and a good slider. They have one or the other.
"If they have a good slider, their curve, most of the time, is a mediocre pitch, and vice versa. Cole Hamels has such a good curveball that I just didn't want to sit back and not say that to him. To me, the best way to pitch today, particularly if you're a lefthander, is fastball-changeup-curveball. There are more sliders hit out of the ballpark, particularly in late-game, game-on-the-line situations, than any other pitch. I know in my own career, when I started minimizing my slider and going to other pitches, particularly in the late innings, it was more beneficial to me.
"The problem with a slider for me is it's a very fickle pitch. It's an easy pitch to learn, and you fall in love with it because it's easy to throw for a strike. You'll throw three or four that are really good ones that have a lot of bite, but then that one mediocre one you throw [gets belted]."
Well, everybody has an opinion. Especially when things aren't going well. But consider this:
According to the pitch-by-pitch breakdown on MLB.com, Kendrick has thrown 107 pitches this season. Almost a third - 33 of them - have been sliders. And, coincidentally or otherwise, his sinker has been staying up in the strike zone and getting tattooed.
Hamels has a 5.06 earned run average. Daily News Phillies beat writer Dave Murphy figured out that the lefthander has thrown 27 cutters to this point of the season and has had a lot of success with it: 20 strikes and just two hits.
The flip side, though, is that he's having little success with the curve that was supposed to be the key to his season. He's thrown only 11 so far (out of 212 total pitches), just two for strikes.
Maybe this is an answer. Maybe not. But it's certainly worth considering.
what is wrong with Kendrick? he stinks - what the heck has this guy ever done to warrant talk in the same sentence as Cole Hamels? Kendrick is a border-line major league pitcher - nothing more nothing less.

what's wrong with kendrick? i think it's the era over 17 in 2 games verses one of the worst teams in the league.
jim kaat was not comparing him to hamels. he was comparing the fact that they both are experimenting with cutters for the first time. did you read the article?

Jaegs was just referring to Kendrick comparison's in general not the article in particular. the amount of talk about kendrick and how well he pitched in spring training and was following Halladay was nauseating. the guy is a border line major league pitcher and is all he will be.

apparently blanton is back next week. kendrick is gone, so everyone just chill out. and hamels will be fine
the nats offense isn't as bad as people think. they will score some runs this year. their pitching is what sucks
Surprised no douches outside of the Philly area - or within it for that matter - have brought up that piece of garbage that puked intentionally all over an off-duty cop and his two daughters. I personally looked this guy up on Facebook with the intention of curbing him. Anyway, can't believe I haven't gotten any "You stay classy Philadelphia" lines yet in here like I have on FB.

A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers

'http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20100416_Paul_Hagen__Philliedelphia__Cutter_could_be_culprit_for_Cole__Kyle.html
EVEN BEFORE Kyle Kendrick got blasted in his latest start, a scout who followed the Phillies closely late in spring training and in the early days of the season offered an interesting insight about Kendrick and Cole Hamels.
"They've both fallen in love with their cutters," he said.
n that the cutter (a variation of the slider) is the kind of pitch that tends to detract from the rest of a pitcher's arsenal if it's thrown too often. Specifically, he said, he thought it was hurting Kendrick's sinker and Hamels' curve.
That theory took on a little more gravitas when Kendrick went out shortly afterwards and was tagged for six runs on six hits and three walks in 1 2/3 innings.
