Nice outing for Hand

no blown job tonight for the phillies

Those backdoor sliders set up McCutcheon.

On the plus side of the prospects, Barrera's defense looks pretty solid.  If the bat stays anywhere near where it he's been hitting right now, that's catcher sorted for a couple years.

He's gotten robbed enough times this year.  It all comes out in the wash.
