Just in case anybody is curious as to how Eyre’s recovery is going, he gave up a homer to the first guy he faced tonight.

I don’t think this is about the Phillies not having faith in Carrasco… it’s just that they probably want him to stick in the rotation for good once he makes his debut. Also, imagine if he gets shelled on Friday, he’d lose a lot of trade value and, possibly, no longer be officially considered as our top pitching prospect.

I don’t think its clear why Ibanez isn’t playing. Is this a precautionary thing, or is he sore still?

Maybe if we sweep the Mutts this weekend we can convince them that they should be sellers and they will give us Johan. He is way too good for that team to begin with. Btw, Lopez is a righty. It will be strange to see another righty out there besides Country. The pressure will be on because we need that game on Friday in the worst way. Need to kick the Mets while they are down and win some damn games at home.

Oh come on! The Phils probably don’t feel Carrasco has had enough development to promote him to the majors yet, people may think he’s been around for ages but he’s still a kid who insiders say has great stuff but is still learning to pitch. Lopez might be a useful guy, he might struggle through the start but it’s one game and the Phils don’t know what they have at their disposal until giving a couple of the guys they’ve signed a chance.

Geoff you need to grow up, your posts just make you look like an idiot.

The Phils really don’t have a lot of faith in Carrasco.

Via Todd Zolecki on Twitter: “The Phillies have RHP Rodrigo Lopez starting Friday night against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. That’s a no-go for Carrasco or Carpenter.”

Rodrigo Lopez is your Friday Night starter, via Zolecki (twitter).

We can all put aside our wishes for Carrasco.
