Awaiting Cole
We should be talking to Cole Hamels a little later today, so we’ll pass along what he says then.
In the meantime, here’s today’s lineup against the Blue Jays:
1. Chase Utley, 2B
2. Miguel Cairo, SS
3. Greg Dobbs, RF
4. Jayson Werth, CF
5. Matt Stairs, LF
6. Pedro Feliz, 3B
7. Chris Coste, 1B
8. Ronny Paulino, C
9. J.A. Happ, P
Todd Zolecki
Showcasing Stairs again. Maybe there will be some interest due to the basestealing skills he showed yesterday.
Happ’s going to kick butt today.
Giving Ibanez and Howard the day off (I think it might be Ibanez’s first) Interesting having Coste at 1B. Glad to see Utley & Pete Happy aka Pedro Feliz in the lineup. Looking forward to the Hamels update later.
Heard that Charlie Manuel is having some health concerns. Any info you can share with us?
The Inky said that Charlie was having a colonoscopy and routine stress tests. Said he’s a good health
Glad to see Chase had a good game yesterday. Even though he’s still hitless, he drew a couple of walks, hustled from 1st to 3rd, scored a run, and…….made a diving catch! Now, he just needs to get his swing back.
Any clue why the Blue Jays are using a DH, but the Phillies aren’t?
Todd, how’s the competition between Paulino and Coste looking?
Looks like I was wrong about Happ. He gave up a couple of dingers and three runs in four innings. Little opening for Park, IMO.
Jason Werth will make us all forget about Pat the Bat if he keeps hitting like this.
