4/26/15 MLB GAME THREAD: Markakis still the MAN leading off

I think it's the right play to PH here, I just wish it wasn't Gosselin. We're trailing in the 7th. It's customary to PH to lead off the inning in that spot.

I think over the course of the a season a day off for the pen is more valueable than one AB.

Era well over 9...

About to be 0-3

Making $5.5m this year

Horrible with no inclination that he is getting better. No matter how many groundballs he generates. The Phillies are awful and shouldn't be scoring 4 runs on anyone

Yeah he needs to step it up. Since hitting with RISP is a skill that can be repeated I see no reason why he is struggling.

I see a guy pouting. I could be wrong. But, I don't see him busting his ass every day to play good defense, get timely hits and flash a smile to be a leader. He could be doing that, I don't see it and the facts don't state it. Frustrating.

they wanted that pick. They want a stupid amount of bonus pool money. I am interested to see what they do. I don't think it's pick the best guy you can each pick. I think they want to be able to go way over slot.
 
lose 5/6 to Mets and Phils....that is bad. Don't care what the Mets' record is, they are not that good. Really bad.
 
These games remind me when thethe was posting the first week of the season with "where are all the people who said we wouldn't be good?"

I think the 5-0 start may have filled some peoples heads with an illusion that the Braves arent horrible. They will be just as bad as the Phillies by years end.

Also haven't faced any good pitching yet

Managed to miss Harvey/DeGrom twice, and Hammels this series

Especially now that Teheran looks like he is a start or two away from surgery.
