"There's no question — Jimenez should start in Tuesday's All-Star Game," the veteran broadcaster said Sunday on the phone from Anaheim, Calif. "That's an easy call for a manager."

I just hope he's not rushing back again.
Sam Donnellon: Phillies' rotation has quite a one-two punch, even without Lee
Hamels has now pitched seven innings or more in six of his last seven starts and has allowed three or fewer earned runs in 12 of his last 13 starts. His record stands at only 7-7, but like Halladay, he has deserved better. Twice in the last 7 weeks, he has allowed two runs and lost; another two times he allowed three runs and lost.
I dream of a day when we don't even have to discuss win-loss records for pitchers.
MLB: Right-hander allows just two hits while striking out six in eight innings - The Daily Breeze
(Vicente) Padilla, who held the Cubs hitless through five innings and only gave up two hits and a walk while striking out six in eight, hit former teammate Marlon Byrd in the back in the top of the seventh. Byrd responded by staring at Padilla and walking slowly to first base.
And this certainly doesn't fit into an already established behavior pattern for Mr. Padilla. What a ghoul.

Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips spent Thursday morning in Family Court battling one of his baby mamas, a local woman with whom he has a 4-year-old daughter.
I wish he hadn't used the term "baby mama." I really do.
Brown makes mark but leaves game
Domonic Brown said he simply felt some tightness coming out of the batter's box on an infield single in Sunday's Futures Game, and that he did not want to push it.
Even if it were more serious, eh? Sit him until August. He has nothing left to prove.

Cool stuff for Trout, who hails from Millville, NJ, even if he had to replace an injured Domonic Brown.
