eaton with a good snag to get a rundown. Coste has to throw that and try to get the 3rd out.
For Who? My teammates.
For What? To Win.
How Much? Where do I sign?
I couldn’t see the whole field, but it looked like Coste was worried that Eaton wouldn’t cover the plate there if he through it to 2nd.

Stupid Grace comment #1
“Byrnesy does the right thing there. Once the ball gets by the pitcher, you have to go.”
I’ve lived in 5 different baseball markets and he is by far, the worst announcer of any I have had the misfortune of hearing.

Fancy glovework, boys.
NB those without the video, Ryan Howard is sittin’ this one out, at least until Randy Johnson leaves the game.

Phils tend to do well with him for some inexplicable reason. Players do strange things, like Feliz walking.

Feliz walks against Randy Johnson. I wanted to type that all out so I could read it a few times to let it sink in.

That’s not Feliz. Remember, the game in in Arizona. They don’t allow Latinos in this state. Afraid he will steal a job from a white player.

Getting a little political on us. I guess you are on the right web of blogs since we are controlled by the Daily Kos.

Not trying to be political, just trying to offer the most plausible explanation for a “Feliz” walk.

My understanding was that the border states are less anti-immigrant than other places just because you don’t have the same fear of the unknown, and that the really crazy stuff comes from the interior where nobody had ever seen a Mexican before. But I could be wrong.
Been here for about a year and a half and the anti-immigrant sentiment is MUCH stronger than southern Indiana. Just my limited perspective, though.

does this mean Arizona is more tolerant of players with low OBP, high K rate?

I am willing to bet it is much more polarized. In depressed areas the sentiment will be much worse than depressed areas in other spots of the country.

I think everyone needs someone to blame. In this part of the country, it happens to be illegal immigrants. In Philly, it’s front office management.

the same front office, btw, roundly and rightly abused for neglecting player development in Latin America.

The Phanatic was just spotted getting escorted off the field by ballpark security between innings. Now he’s headed for the pool. Hope they duck the big green furball.

Harry and Wheels now rhapsodizing about Chase. “Betcha they could put Chase behind the plate and he’d do a good job.” Reminiscent of SNL skit with Bears fans some years ago: “Is Ditka drivin?” I don’t disagree, just noteworthy is all.

Eaton weighs anchor at second. So let’s recap: lots of popups, Feliz walks, Coste hbp.
Eaton now at third after Bruntlett bunt.

if he can play 2B, Harry and Wheels say Utley can play 3B. And at long last, we’d have a replacement for Michael Jack Schmidt. Only took 19 years!

and paints the outside corner to get Pat the Bat. The top hitters have no chance against Johnson tonight. But mark this down: Brad Harman and Bruntlett are ticketed for multi hit games.

Hey, didn’t we already mention that Eaton is working on a 7-consective-starts-without-a-decision skein? We’re Phillies fans, don’t bother us with the leading stories on SportsCenter, especially from our organizational castaways.

man, isn’t this the second time this year that Floyd has taken no-nos late? we really got the shit end of the stick in that garcia deal… and it keeps getting worse…
I’ve always thought Gio Gonzales was the talent we needed to keep. Alas.

I had just flipped over to check the Indiana primary results. Still “too close to call” When I flipped back, I saw the ball flying over the wall.

No. They were very hot for most of the season and were cooled down since the Mets came to town. Eaton may help them heat back up.

there’s the multi-hit game for Bruntlett. Had Harman come through like he SHOULD HAVE in his last AB, this would be 6-4. Better get his ass in gear.

there’s so much wrong going on with his swing and demeanor, it’s difficult to begin. We’ve seen these ABs all season—taking the pitches down the pipe, looking like a plastic toy Transformer swinging at a breaking pitch away, then getting called on a borderline pitch. At this point, I think we have to wait for Rollins to come back and drive him.
