Ibanez back and Holliday might go for St. Louis

In Tuesday’s Game 3 win, The Philadelphia Phillies replaced Raul Ibanez with John Mayberry, Jr. The St. Louis Cardinals had lefthander Jaime Garcia throwing yesterday, so they decided to use Mayberry’s right-handed bat. But, with righty Edwin Jackson throwing on Wednesday for the Cardinals, the Phillies have but Ibanez back in the lineup. In the [...]

Think BIG

It was about a year ago that I sat in OTR’s very own, Micah Warren’s German luxury car (Volkswagen Jetta). We were headed to the range to hit some golf balls when I suggested an interesting, yet unlikely scenario. “The Eagles should make a move for Albert Haynesworth.” It was evident that this guy was [...]

Victorino to the DL, Brown called up

The Philadelphia Phillies have a miserable outfield. So much so that the 610 WIP mid-day crew of Glen Macnow and Anthony Gargano were discussing the worst Phillies outfields of all time. You only do that when the current one is so awful. So, it doesn’t help them that the one good outfielder that they do [...]

Dom Brown is raking, could help Phillies poor outfield

At one point last year, Domonic Brown was rated the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball. When the Philadelphia Phillies finally called him up, he had a stellar debut and the fan base was energized. But, after that first game, things started to go downhill. Brown was pinch hitting because that’s what the team [...]

Hip Hop Fantasy Baseball Team Names

Every year, people cheat when it comes time to come up with their fantasy team names. Whether it’s football with names like “Forsett Down Her Throat” or “Somewhere Over Dwayne Bowe,” someone in your league will find these names on a website and use them. OTR thinks this is criminal because you should be responsible [...]

Phillies need lineup changes

The Phillies looked absolutely lifeless on offense on Tuesday as they dropped Game 3 of the NLCS 3-0 to the San Francisco Giants. Yes, Matt Cain pitched well, I get that. But, c’mon. The Phils scattered a few hits here and there and never put any pressure on him. As such, they need to admit [...]

Milt Thompson fired by Phillies

Of all the potential concerns that the Philadelphia Phillies would have this season, they didn’t include hitting. How would Cole Hamels do? Could Brad Lidge regain his 2008 form? Will the bullpen be able to get it done?

Phillies Dominic Brown is ready to play some ball

Philadelphia Phillies fans probably won’t see Dominic Brown play at Citizens Bank Ball Park this year unless there’s a bunch of injuries to their outfield, but this kid is ready to tear it up. Against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, the former 20th round (yep, 20th round) draft pick went 3-for-3 with two bombs and [...]

Raul Ibanez to the Mark Prior list

Great news for Phillies fans, one of the main guys that has been bailing out their horrific starting pitching this season is headed to the DL. What’s even better is that they aren’t sure how long he’ll be out. “We’ll find out as he goes through his rehab and does the things he needs to [...]

Why fans shouldn't vote in All Star games

I know that major sports leagues want to get the fans involved as much as they can, but can we please draw the line at allowing them to vote for All Stars? Raul Ibanez is surging in the votes and has taken the lead as the top NL outfielder. Why did he just take the [...]
