Read: Today, In the NL East

Phillies RHP Joe Blanton‘s ERA is over 1.5 runs lower with the Phillies than it was with the Oakland Athletics.  He’s walking more batters, but giving up fewer hits – sounds like the Phillies put a better defensive team behind Joe.

As the Braves get set for a double header today, 3B Chipper Jones is 7 for 16 in twin bills this season. He’s scored four runs and driven in two.

The Marlins claim they fixed the signs that caused both Wes Helms and Dan Uggla to make mistakes Monday night.

After nearly 140 years of professional baseball, teams should have this down.

Garrett Mock moves to the Washington bullpen, where his high strikeout numbers may be more useful. He has yet to allow a run as a reliever this season.
