I knew he was going to help us when we signed him.
Lol the Phillies have 4 homers in this game and they are down by 11. I love it. That defense is gonna be a problem for them. It is horrific.
They have been Ramos’dQuote:

While I praised their Ramos pick-up, who isn't playing in this game, I also mentioned that their defense is bad and that their pitching has been able to overcome that so far. Obviously, ten unearned runs today shows that bad defense finally caught up to them.Quote:

Apparently the record for unearned runs in a game is 16. The Mets have 11 and have three innings to go.
Well the 16 unearned runs may be the most without giving up an earned run...The Mets were involved in that game too.
I never said he was a savior, smart ass. Nor is he even playing today. Ramos is a good hitter and won that game vs Boston yesterday for them, had they not activated him yesterday they lose that game 3-1. His two doubles and triple were huge. He had three RBI's and three runs scored. Further, I also mentioned their defense being bad, it caught up to them this game obviously with ten unearned runs on 4 errors.Quote:

What I expected after Hamels did similar and even admitted doing so and got only 5 games.Quote:

Obviously I agree with them on Ramos, but that isn't saying he is savior. The main point is adding him and Cabrera could solidify that line-up that lacked balance offensively. That along with bad defense was their main weakness before adding them and Bour. Now it's mostly just defense. Even adding Cabrera could hurt on defense, if they play him too often at short.Quote:
