Do you remember these guys? Roy Halladay took big bucks and moved south to join them and I am sure he is wondering what happened to them? Earlier this season he pitched a no-hitter and the other night he pitched a great game against the Marlins (except for a sacrifice fly and one pitch that got away), he held the Marlins to just two runs. Two more than his compatriots plated that night.One of the most powerful batting orders in the major leagues is nearing dormancy. Pitchers like Halladay and Jamie Moyer are pitching some of the best games of the season and collecting losses. Tonight as I watched my Tigers on computer (who seem to be flirting with a little plate impotence, as well), the Phillies are now down to the Boston Red Sox 12-1 in the bottom of the fourth! Except to kick over a club house television (actually I am exaggerating, he only ordered it turned off), Charlie Manuel seems to bereft of motivational or line-up solutions.
Is it too early to be worried? Depends on how hot the Braves remain, or how much more the Marlins' pitching improves.
Anyone have any managerial advice for Mr. Manuel?
