His ERA is 1.49 and he has struck out 40 while walking only 15 batters.The rest of the bullpen has not contributed consistently however as they are tied for third with 15 loses in the bullpen…Overall D 5.

See: At this rate, Kendrick will be closing by mid-May.

I just heard that Madsen wants two days off because he’s tired. It’s April. Am I missing something here?

Charlie is the hitting guru. I would love to have a stream of consciousness print out of his brain about now.

Hmm. I stand corrected. JRoll it was. Kinda makes it worse, huh.

I thought it was JRoll they walked to get to Howard. I was laughing that the guy that doubled his RBI total earlier that game was being walked to get to the guy that’s actually (somehow) leading the league in RBIs. Didn’t work out well for the Pads, either. (The ball should have been caught, but it would have been a HR in most parks.)

It seems like Milt shouldn’t have anything to do with it, but it’s possible that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part. I’m sure Thompson is willing to take one for the ex-team.

I think everyone’s noticed what the Phils aren’t doing anymore. For those who haven’t, it’s hitting.

Oh. Yeah. Mull this one over for a second or two. Saturday night, the Padres walked Polanco to get to… wait for it… RYAN HOWARD. Anyone here think baseball has not noticed what these guys are not doing any more?

Personally, I like the idea of firing Milt Thompson again.

But do not worry, guys. Its a long season, a marathon and not a sprint, and things will just fall into place. Magically. These guys are seasoned veterans and they will work things out and everything will be great. Besides, we are in first place, aren’t we? No one in th elocker room is panicking. Just relax.

If the paragraph above makes you crazy, it is your fault. Really. Our All Star pros are on top of it.

No, Really.

Given the woes of the offense, I think we’re better off hoping that the people who have demonstrated they can hit already start to hit again than hoping the people who haven’t demonstrated they can hit yet (at least not in the majors) start to do so. Basically I think it’s more likely that Ibanez becomes a solid corner OF this year than Brown, even though Brown has a lot more upside.

Still, not time to be picky. Anyone besides Polanco who wants to show up offensively would be more than welcome.
