Talkin' Phils with Little Chase (10-18-13)

Hi everybody,

Some Phillies news to report so let's get started:

Phillies Coaching News:

Juan Samuel and Wally Joyner will be returning to the Phils next season in their same roles.  Samuel will once again be the 1st Base Coach and Joyner will return as Assistant Hitting Coach.  It was reported that Joyner would not be returning but that was obviously not the case.

Roster Changes:

Four players were outrighted to Triple A yesterday.  The players are Casper Wells (Outfield), Roger Bernadina (Outfield), Cesar Jimenez (Left Handed Relief Pitcher) and J.C. Ramirez (Right Handed Relief Pitcher).  John Lannan was also offered an opportunity to go to Triple A but he declined the assignment and is now a free agent.

** Update:  Casper Wells, Roger Bernadina and J.C. Ramirez declined to go to Triple A and are now free agents.

Talk to you soon,

Longest game (time wise) in Phillies history at seven hours and six minutes. The Phils used their entire bullpen as well as today's starter Tyler Cloyd. They were forced to use outfielder Casper Wells and position player John McDonald as pitchers in the 18th inning.  I'm tired.
