Phillies | Manuel impressed by Bastardo
Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:23:40 -0700
Andy Martino, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Phillies SP Antonio Bastardo impressed manager Charlie Manuel with his six-inning, one-run outing Tuesday, June 2. "It wasn't like his command was great," Manuel said. "What happened was, he had stuff. He was up and down, and he might just have been wild enough to be effective. But now his fastball is definitely good enough. He surprised me with his fastball. I didn't realize he could throw that hard. I saw his slider in spring training. He's got a good slider, and he's got a good change-up." The Phillies aren't sure what Bastardo's role will be in the future, though they haven't ruled him out as a reliever. Pitching coach Rich Dubee said Bastardo's 95 mph fastball and effective slider could make him an effective reliever.

Phillies | Myers meets with manager, pitching coach
Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:38:26 -0700
Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee talked to SP Brett Myers Saturday, June 28, one night after being pulled from a start against the Texas Rangers, in which he allowed five runs in two-plus innings, according to The Associated Press. "I talked to (Myers) for quite a while. He's struggling and trying to find it. Whatever he tries doesn't seem to work," Manuel said. "I'll think about what I want to do the next few days and we'll come up with something. We don't have a lot of options." Dubee said Myers' struggles were a combination of mental approach and mechanical problems. Because of an off day Monday, June 30, the team could skip his next turn in the rotation Thursday, July 3, against the Atlanta Braves, or they could move RP Chad Durbin into the rotation, while moving Myers to the bullpen. However, a move does not need to be made before Tuesday, July 1.

"He may want to look into something that's definitely going to keep his core stronger, and long-tossing is one of them."
