Thanks for the heads up! He's getting ready to pitch the bottom of the 8th!

He serves up a home run with his first pitch of the 8th.

Hits a guy with a pitch to lead off the inning. yeah! you teach him to lean over that plate! thats YOUR plate frenchy! edit - i missed the HR, so it was retaliation! even better!

The bases are now loaded in the 8th, with only one out. The score is currently 18-3 - a game where Phillies ERAs go to die.

OMG - the bullpen phone was literally off the hook, so the manager couldn't call the pen!

"Hi, guys. It's Jimmy. Jimmy Rollins. How you doin'? Where am I calling from? First place! That's where!"

Francouer had actually pitched in 8 games in AAA last year with an idea of extending his career that way if the hitting thing continued to not work out - kind of a reverse Rick Ankiel. Plus, it's always been known that the guy has an arm.

Saw some of this, & the post game. Man, the Phils really, really, really suck. How ironic. The post game show especially trashed how Frenchy was used for 2 innings.

They mentioned another player pitching one inning, an infielder, and supposedly Chase Utley chewed out the Phils pitching coach on the mound for keeping Frenchy in for so many pitches. I don't know how they know that's what Chase was saying (he was flapping his gums) and if that was just speculation (they didnt report it as such-but again,not paying full attention).

Utley didn't want Francoeur unusable for today.

This is just awesome. When do they play the Phillies again?

Edgy MD Jun 17 2015 07:20 AM Re: Jeff Francoeur is pitching the 7th for Philadelphia!!

Here's a pretty good summary. I'm curious about Utley's semi-regular attempts to countermand his manager and coaches and wonder when it's going to come to a head. Nothing in particular against Sandberg (though I was never a fan), but I would love to see Utz end up becoming a player-manager.

The Rays used two position players last night too -- infielders Jake Elmore (the Blues Brother?) and Nick Franklin -- and Nats catcher Wilson Ramos homered off both of them. That HAS to be a first.

And I would love to see him fail, and bump up against a veteran who's just as much of a know-it-all priaprism as he he's been for the last decade.
