[Lucky_Beagle]

Apparently team really doesn't have enough relief pitchers, lol....3 man bench with an extra pitcher who sometimes plays the field!

[Philsmania]

Time to cut bait on Velasquez and Thompson.

Who is the imbecile who thought Florin would be betterrible than Flaherty?

[Dirk41]

This is gonna be fun

[zambonir]

Well, we can always redirect our laments to the hitting.

[julio]

Third game of the season, with 9-man bullpen, and we're reduced to using Pedro Florimon to pitch?

It's probably just as well they didn't mount any offense - they were out of pinch-hitters as well. They've run through a 9-man bullpen, and they don't have enough guys on the bench to pinch hit when they're burning pitchers. It's only a matter of time until we're in a tight game, and we're looking at a relief pitcher batting in a crucial situation.

You need a long man when your starting pitcher can't get out of the third inning. Hutchison would/should be that long man - but he was one of far too many guys used yesterday, for only two innings.

[allentown]

Just an awful game. Glad I abandoned it after it was 8-2. We should have won the series.

[zambonir]

Thompson's supposed to be the long man too, and he did fill the role (just not well). And Hutchison was only unavailable because last night went extras.

Certainly if the back of the rotation can't pitch five innings on merit it's gonna be a lot harder to voluntarily pull your good starters after five.

I'm not that worried, I guess because I didn't figure the team was ever gonna come out on fire. There was a lot of exuberance about Arrieta and talk of the weak schedule, but it's still a rookie manager, doesn't even matter what kind of manager (though certainly it matters that he hasn't been in a dugout in four years) and a young team.They're gonna have to learn, Kapler included. And if they were expecting the 7/8/9 innings to go easily with Hunter, Neshek and Neris, well...

Let's hope Lively has it.

[LoneStarPhan]

Time to cut bait on Velasquez and Thompson.

Who is the imbecile who thought Florin would be betterrible than Flaherty?

Maybe Flaherty doesn't pitch as well as Florin. But yes, I sure was wondering how they decided to let him go. He really didn't have a bad spring with the Phillies, although Florin had a very solid spring as well. Plus he is a SH and I guess plays more positions.

The really bad thing that occurred to me while watching this game tonight was that the pitching wasn't the thing that really concerned me the most. Sure, it was bad, but the Phillies showed so many other glaring weaknesses on offense and in the field.

Surprisingly, I remain somewhat optimistic that this season will get better.

[phillychuck]

Flaherty had a good series, he's not this good. I preferred him over Florimon, primarily based on defensive stats, but neither is going to help your offense over 162 games.
