Zimmerman has to be on something. Or he's been replaced by a goddamn android. its ridiculous how good he's playing, but honestly its probably just "his time". look at the last decade of baseball....there are a bunch of guys who are consistent every year, Cabrera, Trout, Pujols during his prime, Bautista for awhile, Chris Davis....im just pulling random names but every single year there are a few guys who just get hot, and play out of their minds. sometimes its the start of a run, kind of what happened with Bautista, dude was aveage player at best all of a sudden he's mashing 40 home runs and is a feared middle order hitter. sometimes it's just a one-off baseball is such a weird sport, guys go on hot and cold streaks ALL the time....you can literally go 0-24 and then the next week you're 10-14 with 5 HRs. Yeah, could just be an incredible hot streak. It's gonna be interesting to see how much longer he can sustain it. Seems like he's always injured or banged up, so maybe he's just healed up for the first time in a long while. It kinda blew my mind that he's only 32 still. Feels like he's been in the league forever.

Are the Yankees going to make a roster move before today's game? You would think they would send down a reliever who pitched multiple innings yesterday and bring up a fresh arm in case things get ugly tonight. Tanaka is pitching, so he's probably good for 7 and Betances probably is available, but I'm going to say probably not for Clippard and Chapman. Warren might be, but no way on Shreve or Holder. One of them is probably going down.
I'd bring up Mitchell or Cessa just in case you need somebody to throw multiple innings, for either a good or bad reason.

MLB should have some kind of thing for teams who play long extra inning games, and then have to play the next day or night.
Lets say to be fair, you as the team, have to declare 2 players ineligible to play. And you get to bring 2 players from AAA up for one day to take their place. No roster move, nothing to worry about. Just a temporary hold on a couple guys and at least gives managers an option to either give rest to their offense or relievers after a game like that.
Its not like it happens all that much, but lets say any game that goes 13 innings or more. They basically played a back2back double header starting at 8PM

I'm glad the Cubs vs. Rockies game was postponed. The Cubs needed a break after last night's game against the Yankees.

I'm convinced a monkey could pitch a better inning than this bullpen.

Ryan Howie was released from his minor league contract with the Braves and this might be it for him. He couldve had a HOF career if he didnt tear his Achilles in 2011. I dont see any future Hall of Famers from the 2008 Philles championship team, but they should retire his #6 sometime down the road.

If anyone I'd say Chase but that's just me. Love all 3 of them... this is such a hard process to trust. I'm hoping Aaron Altherr can turn into a superstar.

I'm hoping Aaron Altherr can turn into a superstar. Chase is one of the all-time great Phillies, but his numbers are nothing earth-shattering. J-Roll's weren't really either, but he was an MVP winner and the Phillies all-time hits leader, and I think was a more complete player all around at his position. If Howard hadn't blown his Achilles, I think he had a very good chance of putting together a HOF career. I'm glad to see Altherr keeping up the hot streak. He's probably the most complete player the Phillies have right now on paper - good bat, great defender, good baserunner. Hopefully this isn't a fluke, like Dom Brown's All-Star season. I hope Williams can earn his way up here soon and do something similar.

The Phillies are just sad. I get that it's the best team in the MLB, but there comes a point when you just have to win one of these ing games.

Bu-bu-but Joaquin Benoit claimed that the reason the bullpen sucks is because they "don't known their roles!" I honestly wish they would just release him for that BS... if we had someone to replace him. Oh well. It'll all be good in three years, after we sign Harper, Trout, & Machado.

I see where you're coming from, but this bullpen scary bad. Supposedly our best reliever is Pat Neshek yet that happened. Granted he's had a good start so far, but what does that really say if Neshek is our best reliever? Lmao
