It is Time for the Phillies to Send Antonio Bastardo to AAA Lehigh Valley
Antonio Bastardo had two decent starts before giving way to Cliff Lee in 2009, but my earliest memory of Bastardo came in the 2009 NLDS when he came in to face left-handed slugger Jason Giambi of the Colorado Rockies.

There are a bunch of reasons to love Antonio Bastardo, from his bubble butt to his funny delivery to the incredible amount of joy I got from calling him “Tony No-Dad” all year. But the 26-year-old lefty, who was a middling starter prospect back in 2009 (which seems like ancient history), was quite possibly the most electrifying Phillies reliever ever, out of nowhere putting...
