Open Discussion: Week of April 27th
Here’s an open discussion thread so the minor league posts don’t get cluttered with Phillies’ talk and other topics.
After 19 games, Papelbon has made 7 appearances, 6 games finished (4 saves, 2 others). He gave up his first earned run of the season today.
Some other random stuff to light the fire –
- Chase Utley .121/.206/.224/.430 (worst among Phillies’ starters)
- Phillies .214/.272/.323/.594 (worst in NL)
- The Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright could miss the rest of the season after suffering an Achilles injury.
- The Tigers’ Joe Nathan will undergo surgery for a torn ulnar collateral ligament and a tendon in his right elbow and miss the rest of the season.
- The Red Sox starting rotation has a 5.77 ERA (Kelly 4.08, Bucchholz 4.84, Masterson 5.16, Porcello 6.48, Miley 8.62).

J.P. Crawford Update
J.P. Crawford went 3 for 4 as DH in XST today. He pulled a routine ground ball to first base in his first at bat. He lined a ball back up the middle that ricocheted off the pitcher’s foot for a single in his second at bat. And, he lined a drive over the second baseman for a single in his third at bat.
Crawford’s fourth at bat was high drama. He took a called strike, and didn’t like the call. He backed out of the box and was admonished by the umpire to get back in the box. Crawford slowly placed the arch of his left foot on the chalk line, then removed it and stepped back. The umpire immediately told him to get back in the box, again. One of the Phillies’ bench coaches (Williamsport Hitting Coach, Ed Dennis, I think) yelled, “Let him get ready!”. The umpire responded, “It’s a rule!”. Meanwhile, Crawford took his position in the box. Later in the at bat, he slashed a line drive over the shortstop into left center. He busted out of the box and hustled into second ahead of a weak throw for a double. This at bat came against a LHP.
No word on how quickly he will be activated.
