There is no Eric Bruntlett. There is no Andy Tracy. There is no Clay Condrey. There is no John Mayberry. Dobbs had already pinch-hit earlier in the game. Paul Hoover does not catch for the Phils; Paul Bako does. You cannot put up a baseball blog and not know what you are talking about. I disagree with the Phillies Nation opinion about Manuel yesterday as well, but that is a more substantive argument for which there is room to disagree. Specifically, however, as to Feliz for Cairo, Manuel double-switched because he wanted to keep Blanton in the game for more than one inning. Unfortunately, the Phils had to pinch hit for Blanton after an inning, and that move didn't work out. Please, please, please...I beg of you...do your research and offer your opinions; presenting your own wrong facts intertwined with someone else's observations is not going to get it done.   Hi John;  I don't know what roster you are looking at, but here is the Yahoo.com Phillies roster url: <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/phi/roster">http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/phi/roster</a>    I see what you are saying visa vi the mlb.com active roster.  But why then do players not on post-season roster (according to MLB.com) appear on the depth chart (also MLB.com)?    Thanks for the comment.  Mark   Just a question…are you familiar with the Phillies post-season roster?
