Mike Martinez singled and stole 2B. His second hit of the day. Castillo stood up there taking pitches. He does that good. But alas, he gounded out as did Raul.

3-0 in the bottom of the 6th.

Herndon pitched two innings and gave up his normal two hits and a run in 2 IP. He's working on his slider as he threw it a lot. It's truly hit and miss.

Mathieson threw a 56 pitch scoreless inning. He walked three guys but got two weak flyouts. Then Schoppach hit a bullet on a 3-2 pitch that Martinez snagged.

Scotty was pitching kinda backwards. He threw some kind of off speed pitch. Maybe a slider that he took something off of. When he threw his heater, the hitters weren't catching up to it. But he had little command of his control and was lucky to get out of the inning. (He actually threw a tad over 30 pitches).

Phillies utility infielders continue to shine as Pete Orr hits his 15th triple of the spring.

Rest of the team can't hit at all. 3-0 heading to the bottom of the 7th.

Pete Orr is making Castillo look like a little leaguer. He did it by getting a ball out of the infield.

Triple!

Wow. Valdez pops up and throws bat in disgust right off the catcher's foot.

Not to be annoying, but Castillo is not exactly drilling the ball. Weak pop to SS ends the 8th for the Phils.

why, of all the stupid memes on this board, why would this one be annoying?

I guess that popup counts as getting out of the infield for Castillo.


OK, I'll stop. I don't want to do what many others do.

Oswalt's x-rays are negative. No skull or facial fracture. Good news
