Phillies Blog \| Thoughts, theories, pure fan-driven love for the Philadelphia Phillies
Friday, May 21 posted at 10:50 PM As painful as late-game losses can be, come-from-behind wins are just plain delicious. They're like coming home to a Thanksgiving turkey filled with crack-cocaine and hundred dollar bills. Right. Anyway, the Phils have won four in a row, after rallying tonight in the 7th and 8th to come back from a 3-run deficit against the Padres. Tasty. Definite standout player tonight was Chase Utley. Homerun in the 1st. Double in the 7th. And a single in the 8th to put the Phillies ahead. Altogether, Utley knocked in 3 of the Phils' 5 runs. And on Sunday, the Phils will probably have no choice but to send him back to the minors as Polanco is reactivated. And this is truly unfortunate as Polanco, who was hitting .223 with 1 RBI and 1 HR in 112 at-bats, will surely need a few weeks to get back into a hitting groove he never really had in the first place. As a point of comparison, Utley is hitting .297 with 3 HRs and 13 RBIs in 37 at-bats. But what can you do? Polanco will come around eventually, it's just a matter of when. Who would you say is disposable to keep Utley on the roster? What do you guys think? In the meantime, this homestand looks great so far. Tomorrow night's game could be interesting as two pitchers fresh from the minors head to the mound against each other. Courtesy of MLB.com 0 comments	Subscribe!
