Just when you think it's safe to relax without a nerve-wrecking night in front of the TV playing the Delaware Valley's new favorite game: "Which Phillie will come up limp today?" you were wrong!
Comcast Sports Net will be airing tonight's Class A Clearwater game at 7pm that features Chase Utley, Carlos Ruiz, and Roy Oswalt. Attendance and viewership are expected to be significantly higher than this week's Marlins series. Oswalt is scheduled to be back with the big club pitching on Tuesday and you can expect Ruiz to be called back up shortly due to the hamstring injury suffered by Brian Schneider today. Utley seems likely to make a return by the end of the month.
Not a moment too soon for any of these guys as the next 20 game stretch will require a healthy rotation and the fill ins at 2B and C aren't exactly pulling their own weight. As PhilliesNation.com points out, the combined OPS from Second Base (.547) and Catcher (.574) is less than what Lance Berkman is doing alone (1.131)!
