The welcomed day off saw several of the starting lineup attending a batting clinic at Woodrow Wilson Junior High. The clinic, hosted by the Junior Varsity Phillies, gave all-stars Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Jayson Werth an opportunity to get some pointers from the youngsters.
13-year-old first baseman Joey Henderson said, “Hey, these guys could really pull it together if they could hone their swing. Ryan’s swinging early, Jayson’s swinging high, and Utley doesn’t swing at all. He just walks all the time. Which is nice, but it makes for boring baseball. This is a bad slump and we’re doing the best we can.”
The Phillies are set to play the New York Yankees on Tuesday. In New York. And with CC Sabathia on the mound. This does not bode well.
