I'm at the Phillies game today, filling in for the esteemed Scott Lauber, and I must say that Pat Burrell is quite slow. I was also at Monday's game. Each game, Burrell hit a one-hopper to the wall, and each time he rounded first and headed to second thinking he had himself a double, and each time he was thrown out. So now you know why Shane Victorino pinch-runs for him late in games.
What's it going to take for Burrell to hit a double? It would probably have to be a ground-rule shot. A triple? Forget it.
Also, did you see Cole Hamels' line from his Triple-A debut earlier today? 7 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 14 STRIKEOUTS. Incredibly, he threw just 98 pitches. Paging Gavin Floyd, paging Gavin Floyd, you have about 3 starts left to prove you belong in the big leagues. The clock is ticking.
