The Phillies place Domonic Brown on the 7 day DL for a concussion. They have called up Steve Susdorf to take his place. Susdorf is a great story, he is average to below in all tools except a plus hit tool. He will make solid contact in almost every at bat. His major league stay might be brief and his impact little, but he certainly deserves his moment. He is likely a better option than most of the OFs on the roster waiting for him.

Box Score Recap – 7/24/2013
Not a lot of excitement. A fair line from Mitch Gueller in a 6 inning CG, and a nice spot start from Chris Nichols highlight a WIL doubleheader split. Cody Asche 2-4 with a double. Tyler Cloyd pitched a real nice game, spoiled in the 8th by the bullpen and 3 passed balls from Steve Lerud. Jose Pujols went deep, his third of the year. And be sure to cue up the circus music when you read Ethan Stewart’s line. How he managed to get out of that without giving up a half dozen runs defies all logic.
And finally, Kyle Simon allowed all three base runners he inherited to score – that probably ties a record.

Or the same inning, I suppose. There’s a research project for all of you. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 7/24/2013
Hot or Not
A look back at the week of July 18-24. Quick thoughts…when your team is struggling offensively as much as the Phillies, dont you find a way to get Cody Asche into the major league lineup? He won’t fix things, but will at the very least add some energy. (Ruf to LF, Brown to RF, Young to 1B, Asche to 3B)…Cameron Perkins has really struggled since coming off the DL with his broken wrist…Ethan Martin has been pitching extremely well over the past two months and may be positioned for a September call up…I am getting pretty excited about Kenny Giles again.
Hot Hitters: Cody Asche (.429); Cesar Hernandez (.390); Gabrial Lino (.364, 4R 2HR 5RBI); Matt Tolbert (.364); Angelo Mora (.350); Albert Cartwright (.346, 7R, 2SB); Maikel Franco (.333); Jiwan James (.333); Honorable Mention: Greene, Cozens, Dugan, Morelos Continue reading Hot or Not
