I’ll (we’ll, because Phillies fans rule) always appreciated what Wertz did for the Phils during his time here, and am hoping for a speedy recovery. : ( Also: .GIF from MockSession via my homeslices at The 700 Level

The world chimes in on Hamels beaning Harper Not surprisingly, Cole Hamels admitting to hitting Bryce Harper in the first inning Sunday night has caused a little bit of backlash in the baseball blogging world. Hardball Talk says Hamels “decided to open his big mouth after his outing.” The Outside Corner calls out Hamels on his logic behind the decision to plunk Harper while Big League Stew is still trying to figure out the thought process, referring to Hamels as a Jedi at one point.

Waking up this morning still in some awe over the performance of Joe Blanton yesterday. After 400 pitches were thrown Wednesday night in an extra innings offensive explosion, Blanton managed to get through a complete game on fewer than 90 pitches .

“You just knew Joe Blanton was going to be the first pitcher to throw a complete game this year,” Chris Wheeler said toward the end of the game. Of course it was Joe Blanton, the most maligned pitcher on the staff entering the season who picked up the three-hit shutout in his first complete game as a Phillie early Thursday morning. Of course the Phillies take a 2-0 lead in to the ninth inning after dropping a gut-wrenching 15-13 decision almost 12 hours prior.
