Eaton

I love the Phillies new “day game” uniform. Very sharp, very old school. Love the cream color, the deeper blue and the multi-colored hats.

 

Adam Eaton just came in to pinch run for Pat Burrell at 2b after Burrell hit a double in the bottom of the 7th. Phils up 7-6. Howard went to 3rd on the double. I’m intrigued by the use of Eaton in that situation. Does he really have that much more speed than Burrell? Is this some sort of punishment for Eaton? Is this a statement of the value they put on their 5th starter? Why didn’t Burrell’s defensive replacement pinch run?
