Phils acquire AAA pitcher Mazone; callup forthcoming?

The Phillies have acquired minor league pitcher Brian Mazone from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team confirmed. Mazone is a former Phillies farmhand, and the move could very well be intended to plug a hole in the Lehigh Valley rotation if/when Carlos Carrasco, Drew Carpenter or Rodrigo Lopez is recalled to start Thursday or Friday or whenever they decide to use a youngster. I wouldn't be surprised by an announcement on that later today. Mazone, 32, is 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA in triple-A this season.

But then again ... Gary Matthews instead of Chris Matthews, Ryan Howard instead of Ron Howard, Mike Schmidt instead of Burghart Schmidt, Chase Utley instead of Garrick Utley, Steve Carlton instead of Carlton the Doorman, Cole Hamels instead of Cole Porter ...

GoPhilsGo, That makes no sense at all. At least El Zorro was able to cite pairs of baseball players! You're just talking gibberish.

Great banter! Mazone...who...this is a headline? Nice ERA, by the way...should fit right in.

Wow, this sure will seal the repeat deal, I'll tell you what though, a fin for a pepperoni p'zone is the deal of the summer. I like how they have those unbreakable fountain cups for the cola, akee.
