Jayson Werth Goes Commerical

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:47:00 -0500

I know you probably hate the Free Credit Report.com commercials...I have grown tired of them myself. Something about that lip-syncing fruity French-Canadian singer that irks me. Anyway, pay particularly close attention to the drummer of this tenuous threesome and you will find none other than Jayson Werth. Werth looks like he likes to rock, but I figured him more of the Motorhead or AC/DC breed, not some pop-a-licious jingle band. Other Phillies to go Commercial:~Carson

What's happened to Howard in the World Series?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:59:03 -0500

Beerleaguer hands over the morning post to a long-time reader, who offers his insights into Ryan Howard’s slump. Howard regressed in hitting left-handers in 2009, with a drop in OPS from .746 in 2008 to .653 this season. This, despite the fact that he had better protection in Jayson Werth and should have seen better pitches to hit. So a steady diet of lefties from the Yankees will certainly have an impact. Yet in his seven plate appearances vs. righties,...

Southpaws Gone Fishin’

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:06:16 -0500

The top of the Phillies lineup went 1-for-14. One for fourteen. Aside from Jayson Werth, the Phillies offense couldn’t figure out Andy Pettitte after the second inning, as he kept the Fightins’ left-handed hitters silent and collectively 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts. Cole Hamels, meanwhile, failed to get back on the post-season success wagon as he failed [...]

How to Slump and Still Create Runs

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:52:15 -0500

Jayson Werth is in a slump that has encompassed his last 35 plate appearances. He looks completely lost at the plate, having notched only one hit in that span and struck out 14 times. There’s no way Werth has helped the Phillies at all during his slump, hitting fifth in the lineup, right? Well, yeah, there [...]

Jayson Werth Speaks Highly Of The Philadelphia Fan

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:39:42 -0500

It’s a given that everyone who has a rooting interest in the Philadelphia Phillies appreciates the daily effort and gaudy numbers that Jayson Werth has been putting up since joining the team, and I kind of figured that the feeling was mutual, but I never really knew. Until today. ESPN.com writer Jerry Crasnick (sorry, I couldn’t [...]

At BDD, I explain just how valuable Jayson Werth has been to the Phillies. While Jayson Werth thanks Dr. Michael Peterson for saving his career, the Phillies are thanking Jayson for his contributions to last year’s championship and their MLB-best defense, and for this year’s league-best offense.

Jayson Werth named Phillie/NL Player of the Week

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:10:00 -0500

Jayson Werth was the clear choice for this week's Macho Row Phillie of the Week. Of course, how could I argue against Major League Baseball, who just within the last hour or so named Werth as the National League Player of the Week.Over the past seven days Werth has record a team high eleven hits, seven runs and five home runs. Yesterday Werth hit a three run homer in the first inning to get the game started. His slugging percentage is 1.160 over the last seven days, not including today...

Jayson Werth Has Some Good Ideas

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:09:07 -0500

Per Jayson Stark, ESPN: “I don’t know what those guys get if they win [the Home Run Derby],” Werth told Rumblings. “But I think they should get a bag of cash.” Wait. A bag of cash? Like what, a shopping bag? Full of $20 bills? “No, of hundreds,” Werth said. “I’m talking about a sack full. Maybe a [...]
