But Adam Eaton threw six innings of one run baseball and lowered his overall ERA to under 5 after the Phils 6-1 win over . Congrats to the Phils and Adam Eaton. It's about time he started to earn his salary of $24.5 million over three years.
Finally, Uncle Cholly has figured out how to use this guy. He is strictly a six inning pitcher. If he gives you a strong six innings, you have to gladly accept it and get him out of the game quicker than Joe Banner says no to a contract re-negotiation. It seems that the Phils have figured this out and realize they need the bullpen ready to roll on nights he pitches.
In any event, it looks like the Phils are starting to put things together at the right time as the first place Marlins are coming to town for a weekend series. We are about to learn a great deal about both teams. (As an aside, I just hope we get Hanley Ramirez out a few times. He is the biggest Phillie killer playing today.) If the Phils can take 2 out of 3, I'll start feeling pretty good about this squad.

You are excited about Eaton's only win of the season? Weren't you excited about Kris Benson too?
they can do no wrong right now. they're a 93 win team period. question is, who/how will they play/fair in the playoffs.
No blogging from the race track in Dover?
