Glad to see David Wright was able to contribute.

Probably last year Dickey reached the summit of his career. I wish him the best.

It’s tough to identify rhythm in a knuckler. Could be he just didn’t have it. But you’re right, there was definately something not working for him.

Dickey looked like he let himself fly open. It didnt look like the same rhythm he had all of last season.

Dickey got shelled and Wright had the first RBI for USA. The Mexican team can pitch.

Off Topic: TeamUSA loses tonight to Mexico 5-2. Dickey didn’t quite have it unlike Gallardo who had Phillips swinging in the dirt. USA must win later today to have a chance at advancing.

It was a Phillie coach comparing physical attributes not actual game play based on having seen both men but yeah you just did the same thing.

I know Bench was 19 and Travis 23. Additionally d’Arnaud stats were in PCL.

Compare Minor league stats Bench with Bisons and d’Arnaud with 51′s

You seriously gonna sit there and compare Centeno with Yadi? Facepalm.

Okay, I think we’re done here.

Not according to the Phillies. The poor Phillies are tired of getting plunked:

‘Fightin’ Phils tiring of watching their hitters get drilled’

u know who else had a weak bat with lil power and strong defense in the minors….

Yadi Molina…aka the best overall catcher in baseball

For all those traits, d’Arnaud will still be better & Centeno will be a backup on another team in 6 years, unless there’s another team with ragtag catching depth as the Mets. Probably the Astros.

healthy back
