Chasing Eaton - Part III

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:35:00 -0500

Moyer has now started 19 games, the same number Eaton made in last season. Here's how their numbers compare.. Losses 8ERA 5.80WHIP 1.64BAA .310 Losses 7ERA 5.65WHIP 1.44BAA .296Moyer also has 9 wins and hasn't put up the absolute **** numbers that Adam Eaton did. Mainly because he has had 5 starts where he's given up 1 run or less. In the other 14 starts, however, he has a 7.55 ERA. Given that now we have a 75% chance that Moyer will give up 5 runs in 6 innings, I'm not convin...

Eaton Finds Another Sucker

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:07:00 -0500

The Colorado Rockies signed Adam Eaton to a minor league contract. Does Eaton think he can resurrect his career in Colorado? You bet.This is a good opportunity. I felt good in both Philly and Baltimore, but things just didn't work out. Pitching in the small ballparks made it tough on me too, confidence wise. There definitely is more of a 'pitcher's park' feel to [Coors Field] so I'm looking forward to pitching there.I'll start in Colorado Springs, which is nice. The Pa...

Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:18:38 -0500

Troy Renck at the Denver Post reports that the Rockies have signed righty Adam Eaton to a minor-league deal. Eaton was released in late May by the Orioles.Eaton, 32, posted an ugly 8.56 ERA and 28/19 K/BB ratio for the O's in 41.1 innings before being cut.

Good riddance: Adam Eaton is an Oriole

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:43:11 -0500

Philadelphia has lost another beloved sports figure! No, wait, it's just Adam Eaton. Lost in all the news about the Eagles was a move the Phillies made on Friday when they finally got rid of Adam Eaton. Despite owing him another 9 million dollars, the Phils chose to eat salary and waived Eaton, ending his illustrious Philadelphia career. Eaton spent two years with the Phils and finished 14-18 with an ERA in the high 5's. He played absolutely no role in the Phillies championship run. S...

Breaking News: Eaton Outta Here!

Adam Eaton has been released! I'm not sure what to say.

It Doesn't Matter the Level of Competition, Eaton Will Still Tank

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 19:32:22 -0500

Struggling pitcher Adam Eaton made his minor league debut last night. Eaton took the mound for the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Phillies Low-A minor league affiliated, and like he's done all season for the Phils, he got hammered. Eaton allowed four runs and five hits in three and two-thirds of an inning. He also was unable to establish a fastball, topping out at 89 MPH. Surprisingly Eaton was encouraged by the outing. "I felt good. The ball was coming out pretty nice. I was very happy with the way I threw." He was finished praising himself. "It seemed like a double or a home run on every hit," Eaton said. "But for the most part, things went well. I had good command." Besides losing the ability to pitch, has Eaton also lost his mind? It's bad enough he was forced to accept an assignment to the minor leagues for struggling against major league batters, but not to be able to get out players from the South Atlantic League? That's completely ridiculous. I'm not trying to take anything away from Sally League players, they are the future of the game. But they also have never seen major league pitching. There's no excuse for a major league veteran to not make it out of the fourth inning against players in Low-A baseball. Maybe Eaton wasn't really happy with his outing. Maybe knows he's collecting a paycheck until October of 2009, so he really doesn't care. Either way it's an embarrassment. While I'm sure this isn't the outcome or attitude management hoped for out of Eaton, maybe it's not such a bad thing. The worse he pitches, the better chance their is he'll never take the mound for the Phillies again.

Just Short- Phils

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 06:53:21 -0500

Phils tried to make a huge comeback over the Mets last night, but failed and came up just short (that's what she said). The comeback attempt was entertaining, but in the end it's still a loss and therefore doesn't really matter then. Adam Eaton was the main culprit for the loss. Stats since joining the Phils- 38 games started, 13-17 record, 262 IP, 309 H, 171 ER, 43 HR, 111 BB, 149 K, and a 5.87 era. Yuck! For the full article on last night's debacle and more ranting abo...

Tastes Great, Less Filling: Adam Eaton Elicits Memories of Bob Uecker

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 12:47:46 -0500

With baseball finally in full swing, and as Adam Eaton shows his mid-season form starting the game off today with 5 straight balls, i hear Harry Doyle's voice ringing in my head. "Boy, how can these guys lay off pitches that close?" To get me out of the inevitable funk I'll be in watching him pitch today, I'll likely have to drink several Miller Lites this afternoon. Let's take a chronological look at the best of Ueck, to kick things off...

What to Do with Adam Eaton...

OK Phils fans, let's have a little fun... what should they do with Eaton?

Angry Blogger Arrested

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:53:41 -0500

I spent last night behind bars because of Adam Eaton. Thank goodness for lifelong buddy Corey, or I may still be in the dank cell in Philly...he posted my bail. Don't worry bro, I'll pay you back later. Why was I arrested? How was it Adam Eaton's fault? Here's how the story goes... My ever mounting hatred of Adam Eaton reached its apex last night after allowing 6 runs in less than 4 innings. I couldn't take it anymore, the man is a disgrace to a Phillies uniform, he is ...
