@Jimmy….My guess on that….your question of the ‘brush offs” by Baurer; I assume the manager has given him this priviledge for his first game so he pitches to his comfort level.

JJ is looking really good tonight. Locating all his pitches.. Still not where he needs to be at velocity wise but he’s pitching smart. Mixing in offspeed pitches with his 89 mph fastball.

The Phillies are making Jim Thome available to American League teams in need of help at designated hitter, two AL executives tell ESPN’s Jayson Stark. Ruben Amaro didn’t confirm that he was shopping the veteran slugger, but said “if there’s a situation out there that benefits both Jim and the Phillies, we’ll try to put something together.”

@gene,
If it just takes a nasty hop then I think it should be a hit, but if the fielder doesn’t follow it all the way through into their glove should be an error.
