It was the best of times, ~~it was the worst of times~~… This is truly a special era in Phillies baseball right now. I can’t wait for tonight. Any word on J-Roll? Also, anyone know why they ripped Brandon Jacob’s helmet from that fan in Indy after he tossed it in the stands last night? Seems kind of wrong to me.

The mans on the teevee said yesterday that Rollins had taken BP from the right side yesterday (previously only from the left) and was out in the field during BP doing some shagging or work with trainers (can’t remember which), but that he hadn’t yet “sprinted or pushed off on it.”

That is the NFL aka the No Fun League, for you.

Apparently, Jacobs needed the helmet to play (although he never returned)… one of the announcers later joked that it was not a foul ball!

That’s an interesting story about Lidge. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard someone say, “Hey this guy needs to throw a slider!” as a solution to elbow problems.

It does seem like maybe he’s found a way to succeed while throwing his fastball 91. Fingers crossed…

Werth is all, “My junk is up in the air, yo.”

Josh Zeid can throw 96mph out of the bullpen in Lakewood? Wow.

by Wet Luzinski on Sep 20, 2010 9:15 AM EDT reply actions

also

In seven innings of relief against Greenville Josh Zeid did not allow a baserunner and struck out 10.

One of the many statistical morsels o’goodness from the memorable team article. I know you’re all locked in on the Braves series, but seriously, read what the Phillies have at the 19- to 21- year-old level.

Gotta be a good nickname in there somewhere.

(Zeid’s older than 19-21 though. He went to college. Tulane, I believe.)

His greatness is his Zeidgeist.

Brian Schneider has a funny facial expression in that pic. Remember the Numa Numa guy? That’s what it reminded me of.

Also nice to see Brian Bocock getting some time on the field.

Looks like he and Polanco are levitating Werth.
