Junior goes 2-4 with a double (his sixth of ST) and a stolen base. Loving what he’s been doing.

Stairs, Jenkins and Coste go a combined 0-10 with 5 LOB… remind me why we’re keeping any of them?

Also to those who don’t follow the Phillies everyday and not give reliever Clay Condrey his due credit for last season. Here is a news item that includes the manager’s (Manuel) comments :

” Condrey’s role was important for the 2008 world champions last summer.
In his third season with the Phillies last summer, Condrey was 3-4 with a 3.26 ERA. After April, he had a 2.83 ERA for the final five months of the season.
“He throws better than what people give him credit for,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He was a staff saver for us.”
When Manuel thinks about last season, the Phillies manager often brings up the bullpen fairly quickly in the conversation. In that bullpen, Condrey rose to the challenge in the latter stages of the season—he had a 1.04 ERA in nine games in September as the team chased down their second straight NL East title.
“I think in the last couple years, Condrey has done a heck of a job for us; he got some big outs and some times it goes unnoticed,” Manuel said. “But he pitches in games that really meant something during the season last year, down toward the end, and he did a tremendous job.”

BTW, Condrey in today’s game pitched two more scoreless innings of relief to lower his ERSA to 1.23 for Spring exhibition games.
