Comments on: Phils get no relief from line drives or their bullpen http://www.philliesflow.com/2011/07/01/phils-get-no-relief-from-line-drives-or-their-bullpen/ A fan's Philadelphia Phillies blog Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:04:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: DaMannse http://www.philliesflow.com/2011/07/01/phils-get-no-relief-from-line-drives-or-their-bullpen/#comment-55309 DaMannse Sat, 02 Jul 2011 18:35:50 +0000 http://www.philliesflow.com/?p=3934#comment-55309 I never thought I would live to see the day when a team would walk even Chase Utley, loading the bases with two outs, to get to Ryan Howard. Turns out, that is the right way to go.

This is the second time I have seen it this year that I can remember.

And the scouting reports that now say that this is the right way to go? I wonder if someone would be kind enough to mail Howard a copy.

If they have decided to play like this, which I have not seen near enough this year, then these guys are not going to be stoppped, or even approached. Man was this a good win.

On a slightly more serious note, I think the Phillies can’t count on Brown until he demonstrates he can be successful at this level. That might take a while, so I think they should keep giving him chances, especially if they keep on winning, but should be looking for other options for the stretch run.

So what you’re saying is Brown is getting better?
