Phillies give Christopher Sanchez a four year extension.

Well deserved.

He still hasn't reached his full potential. He has now mastered that change up against his 94-95mph fastball. Deadly combo because it's the same slot and arm action. He will next be able to add some kind of breaking pitch to add more deception and he's gonna be as nasty as Suarez. He's basically a 2/3 with Suarez and Wheeler as 1s. Nola is still in the 2 range with occasional 1 outings.

And Walker is a #8. When do they replace him in the rotation with Turnbull.

Show some balls Dumbo and Topper!

Turnbull hasn't looked very "Turnbully" recently but I get ya.

Schwarber with the rare leadoff HBP to get on base.

Hard to believe, Harry.

That's some nice situational hitting by both Turner and Harper to plate a run.

Bohm swings at garbage, so does Castellanos but at least he produces a sac fly to score Turner who has the best pop up slide in MLB. Thing of beauty.

Boy ,the bottom of this order is putrid. Pache and the catchers are minor league players

In all honesty, I thought they would keep Rojas and move on from Pache.
