    Maybe because I'm an overconfident troll, I think the Astros come out with 1st inning grandslam...which forces Phillies into a bullpen game. No rain delay will save their pen.

    No Mancini or Diaz means no noncompetitive auto outs.

    OK. I was confusing Mack and Angelos as the stories blended together. I had heard some people complaining about his (Mac's) political contributions.

    Angelos is just an idiot unless he doesn't have the staff to do the job.

    He can't do much worse than Diaz and Mancini who have been big zeros.

    Suarez is a good pitcher but this is not that meaningful of a stat.

    Framber had 25 quality starts in a row until he didn’t. Winning 6 home games in a row (while losing road games in between) isn’t that long of a track record of excellence.

    Hensley has had extremely competitive at bats down the stretch. I love his approach. He might not have the pop they have had in the past but at this point I'd love a single or a walk in some random inning and make the pitcher work.

    If he can even run up the pitch count that would at least be something. Anything will be an improvement over what we’ve been getting from the DH so far.

    Hensley at DH doesn't hurt anything. What can be worst than 0-16 and 1-18? Can only go up with Hensley. Here's to his (hopefully) slam.

    Yea, just solid professional ABs would be nice. A productive AB would be great. Hits would be like manna from heaven.

    Best way to shut up Philly fan is jump out with a few runs. Let’s see if Lance can dominate.

    I find this funny as hell because it took peña 1 year with the astros to win gold glove. Meanwhile, Correa took years to get it lol.

    Phillies averaged 28,000 for home games. Astros 33,000.
