It was a good day to be a FLP - Joe Bisenius, Gary Knotts, Jason Jaramillo, J.D. Durbin and Brennan King all saw action today in the Phillies 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Let’s start with JJ - 0-2 with a K, but defensively he caught Doug Mientkiewicz stealing.  Joe Bisenius pitched a pair in relief, retiring 6 of the 7 batters he faced, giving up only a walk.  Third baseman Brennan King went 1-2 and scored a run.  Gary Knotts, being used in relief, picked up the win after giving up a solitary hit and no runs in his two innings of work.  J.D. didn’t have the greatest outing - 2 runs on 5 hits (including a HR) and a walk over two innings in a starting role.

There’s numerous other FLPs who had invites to Spring Training - I’ll look for their results later this evening or tomorrow.

Joe Bisenius - August 2007.

*** UPDATE ***

Our man in Florida, Bob Williams has a much more detailed review of the 11-6 loss than yours truly’s analysis of the boxscore.  Nice work! (and on a personal level, very gratifying to see the term “FLP” finding it’s way into the baseball vernacular)
