Hell of a day! Pick up two wins get back over .500 and gain 1.5 on the Cardinals! Now we get to host Miami for 4 while the Phillies bats are due to wake up and go home to face the Cards for a 4 game set.
In my former life, i taught high school. The English teacher was next door. Everyday, he would at various times say, "people are nuts." He was right most of the times.
Dusty led us to nearly 100 wins last year. That is all (and he really bugs me sometimes, but people are nuts )

You obviously don't know me very well. For one thing I have way too big an ego to "pile on". For another, I like the way Baker/Price use the bull pen- they're right a lot more often then the second guessers here are. But tonight was a mistake. Broxton could have used a blow out inning. It would have taken nothing out of him and it would have gotten him back on track for when it really counts.

I would never have considered that having a starting rotation that was pitching well and eating up too many innings would be a problem.

Broxton's bad outing begs the question of underwork or just didn't have anything. Assuming it was lack of work is an assumption, not a fact, so making a decision now based on "needing work" as a prudent decision is also not a fact.
