[ice grillin you]

this was only a practice game but still its really cool to finally hear some game reports on him.....gcl season starts Friday...cant wait to see what he does...kid wont be 18 until november

Jhailyn Ortiz made 3 catches out in RF.  Two were exceptionally good plays where he had to cover a lot of ground to make a catch – one on a shallow fly in RCF, and the other in shallow foul territory in what used to be "Utley territory".

Ortiz also had two solid hits, one was a double to LCF.

Enjoying St. Louis-Chicago right now.  Nice to see two teams that know how to play baseball.

Erik Kratz pitched better than the entire Phils' staff last night.

[ice grillin you]

he had the game winning home run the night before too

[MDS]

nick williams with a 719 ops against lhp. overall his 806 ops would be top 30 in all of mlb among of

jake thompson has given up 3 runs in 4 starts this month

jp's average (thats right, j, average) up to 210 after being at 153 a week or so ago. obp is 290, which bodes well when he starts hitting that he can be around 380-400 range.

secretly huge series right now

phillies will play the braves 100 more times this year, but this is their 1 crack to give the twins some wins. only a 5 loss difference between them, with tomorrow to go.

in the mean time....

How bad are the Phils? 

During the Phillies' current 6-25 stretch, they have a team on-base percentage of .216, a .217 batting average and a .630 OPS.

No wonder I keep changing the channel.  Though I wonder how a team can have a lower OBP than batting average.

[ice grillin you]

only three teams have a worse record

franklyn kilome pitches tomorrow on milbtv if anyone is interested

Hernandez is doing his impression of a major leaguer today.
