September 9, 200521 yr Luis Castillo, 2B Jeff Conine, LF Miguel Cabrera, 3B Carlos Delgado, 1B Juan Encarnacion, RF Damion Easley, SS Juan Pierre, CF Matt Treanor, C A.J. Burnett, P Jeff Conine has crushed Lidle in his career (Over .500 batter average- I think) so I dont mind that Hermida is having a day off :thumbup
September 9, 200521 yr At some point, Andino has to get a start. Easley's going to cost us a game with his glove sooner or later...
September 9, 200521 yr Plus I'm not so sure that you want to throw Hermida to the wolves that are fans in Philly. Let him take it in for a day, and hopefully Conine'll swing a good bat tonight.
September 9, 200521 yr I wonder why Willingham doesn't get a start at catcher..... I'd like to see what he can do in a starting role...
September 9, 200521 yr Author I wonder why Willingham doesn't get a start at catcher..... I'd like to see what he can do in a starting role... 936755[/snapback] I would like to see Willingham but this series is too important to put out a rookie catcher that pretty much came up from AAA. Treanor has been working with our pitchers for about a year and I trust him alot more than Willy right now. I rather have a catcher who is familiar with our pitchers than a catcher with some pop.
September 9, 200521 yr On days facing leftys, if Delgado needs a day off, you could have a combo of LF Conine/1B Willingham, LF Willingham/1B Conine...and it would be good to rest Dook for a week or so, so Willy might get a start at C this week.
September 9, 200521 yr wished easley could show some pop 936765[/snapback] If there's ever going to be a ball-park...this is it.
September 9, 200521 yr Now watch Conine go 0-4 today, i just see it. 936770[/snapback] but he's a phillie killer :mischief
September 9, 200521 yr Phillies fans still have nightmares about that Wednesday night game at the Vet in late 2003 where Conine just went nutso against them. Had a big HR, and made at least 2 spectacular game-saving catches. The Phillies fear Conine. As they should...
September 9, 200521 yr you have to play 9er against the Phils, he is the official Phillies-killer. We all know how their fans hate him. :lol
September 10, 200521 yr So something has to be done about this defense. It hasn't been that great all year, ranking 23rd in outs per balls in play, but with Easley out there and Conine and Pierre to a lesser extent we're giving away too many hits.
