Some Phillies Links for You, May 10, 2010 - Perfect A, Jayson Werth Puns, So-So Cole

Spotty Hamels bailed out by Phils bullpen
Yesterday is Exhibit #4,598 for "Why Wins For Pitchers Are Stupid." Cole Hamels kind of stunk and his command was awful, yet he got a "Win." He was brilliant last week, and a no-decision.

Those two balls were crushed helluva far. I just about passed out.

LOL what

PhillyBurbs.com: Absolutely Werth it
At some point you have to stop extending your aging players. Unfortunately Jayson Werth seems like a much better bet to age well than Ryan Howard.

Amazing that this guy from Philadelphia traveled so far just to get Tasered in Florida.

R-Phils' big eighth tops Aeros
The Reading Phillies used a four-run eighth inning to beat the Akron Aeros 5-2 Sunday at Reading.

Dallas Braden, Perfect Game: May 9, 2010
Obviously the big story from the weekend. What I love is all the Yankees fans moaning about how classless, etc., this guy is for dissing poor Alex Rodriguez. I was really confused, I thought they hated "A-Rod."

any chance Dom. Brown could come up and fill in at short for a couple games? I mean…it’s not like it’s one of the positions that you can’t recover from having a shaky fielder there, right ?

Of course, Mother Nature is going to grace Denver with scattered thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow, then rain and snow Wednesday. Ah well, that’s what more clothing is for. It was a miserably cold, rainy day last time I got to see the Phillies play here, so no worries there. Just so long as the games don’t get postponed. =p

The wonderful thing about Denver is you can have 2 or 3 different days worth of weather in the same day. Hopefully the weather will be nice, and you’ll get to have a few beers in LoDo before heading into the park.

That’s a good park. Have a TorNaDough for me.

Forecast says 37 tonight. Poor bastards.

Are we sure Werth is that much better of a bet to age well than Howard? Because of Werth’s weird injury history, his B-R comps are kind of messed up, but still, none of them aged particularly well either.

by taco pal on May 10, 2010 10:21 AM EDT reply actions

It’s intuitive to me, based on Werth’s better-rounded skill set and higher degree of athleticism. That said, Ryan Howard seems like something of a historical outlier, so who knows.

by SethC on May 10, 2010 11:57 AM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, I don’t think there are a whole lot of great body-type comps for Howard. David Ortiz, Mo Vaughn, and Cecil Fielder don’t fit the bill, in my view.

by taco pal on May 10, 2010 3:40 PM EDT up reply actions

So they are both the same age? for some reason i thought werth was 36.

We’re ignoring his pre philadlephia injury history or just going on body type aging models?

by jemagee on May 10, 2010 1:18 PM EDT reply actions

His pre-Philadelphia injury history probably should be ignored, because it was all caused by a freak accident (getting hit by a pitch), not from normal wear and tear.

by taco pal on May 10, 2010 1:29 PM EDT up reply actions

I was just going to post something similar. His “injury history” is a pitch from A.J. Burnett breaking his wrist and tearing ligaments, which took multiple attempts to fix.

Honor is no substitute for victory.
