Past few days
The Phils beat the Blue Jays on Monday, team Canada on Wednesday and then loss to team USA today.
John Mayberry Jr. has continued his hot spring. He had another home run today against team USA. If he continues to play like this it will be tough to keep him off the 25 man roster.
In the 5th starter race the candidates are starting to become clearer. Happ had an okay outing against the Jays allowing 2 runs in 3 innings. Carrasco let up 5 runs in 3 innings during the same game. Kendrick retired the first 7 of 8 batters against team USA today, and looked to be in control. Then he blew up and ended up allowing 4 runs in the 3rd inning.
In other news around the clubhouse Chris Coste has been nursing a hamstring injury. Hopefully this won’t affect him getting a roster spot come April 4th. I would hate to see him go back down to the minors after all he has done.
Jayson Werth has been taking it slow with his shoulder injury. He plans on taking BP today and being in the lineup tomorrow.
That’s all for now. Now that Spring Break has finally started I hope to have some new material on this blog. Stay tuned for in depth looks at each position and also a closer look at the 5th starter race. So make sure to bookmark this page and continue to check back to see whats new.
Recap of the last 5 days
I’ve been busy with work for school so I haven’t been able to update this in a little while but I’m going to catch you up on the last 5 days.
The Phillies went 2-3 in the past 5 days down in Florida. Beating Tampa Bay yesterday and Atlanta today. Solid play so far by Raul Ibanez and also a pleasant surprise in John Mayberry Jr.
To the delight of many Phils fans Adam Eaton was released on Friday. He was also picked up by the O’ s today and signed to a minor league deal worth $400,000.
The Race for 5th starter is still up in the air. Carrasco and Happ and solid outings this week. Kendrick also had a solid outing despite giving up a home run. Park threw a perfect 4th inning in today’s game.
Also, the battle for 2nd base is heating up. Jason Donald has flashed the leather a few times this week while Marcus Giles had a great day at the plate today in the win against Atlanta.
Not only will Pat Burrell be honored at the on deck series on April 3rd but he will also be at the ring ceremony. Phillies have a day game that day while the Rays have a night game in Boston. Pat will be at the ceremony then jump on a plane right back to Boston.
That’s all I have for now. Should be another big week for the Phils. I have another week packed with school work so I may not be able to update again until Thursday.
