Beer nuts: Fine-tuning wouldn’t hurt Phillies offense (Beerleaguer)

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:25:23 GMT

The Phils were shut out for the seventh time this season and managed just four earned runs in their series with Florida, if you take away Shane Victorino’s foul ball homer on Tuesday night. Minor changes should be made. For Charlie Manuel, answers haven’t come easy for his struggling offense. The sit back and wait approach hasn’t worked, so in the meantime, perhaps it’s time to maximize...

Take The Day Off...Not! (Swing and a Miss)

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Charlie Manuel has this habit of giving a player the day off only to summon him mid-game to pinch-hit. Thank goodness. Last night's beneficiary of a partial day off was Shane Victorino, who'd been hot as a fire cracker until an 0-for Saturday night. So what does Shane do on his day off? Pinch hits, what else! The first time he rode a fly ball deep to left center with men on. The...
