The 33-Year-Old Rookie

A call-in from Phillie fan favorite Chris Coste was being hyped by the WIP Morning Show. They noted that the catcher "sniffs his own bat after a good hard hit." He's either got himself an interesting on-field habit or he is a sick well-endowed freak.

Always a Phillie

Picimg_mlb_apr_19_6f16
A few of the good guys from last year's championship team aren't in red pinstripes today, and they weren't in the Phils clubhouse for the champagne showers. One of them is Chris Coste, who as we all know suited up for the Astros in this series and had a great view of his...

Roy Oswalt Beats The Diamondbacks 1-0 On A 4 Hitter

Mlb_jun_01_77e0
Roy-O pitched to Chris Coste, who, in my opinion, is a MUCH better receiver than either Pudge or Q - very soft hands. He threws a TON of curveballs and that curve was most definitely working just FINE tonight - only one ball was well hit all night. Lance Berkman set the club record...

You make the call: Reyes out at home?

Watch the replay below of the supposed game-winning run scored by Jose Reyes. Did Chris Coste tag him before he touched the plate? Looking at the slow motion replay in the clip, I think it's close, but I really don't see Reyes touching the plate at all.

Could Marson Supplant Coste And Ruiz Soon?

If you noticed this weekend, it was Lou Marson playing the Friday and Saturday games, while Chris Coste stepped in as day-game-after-night-game backup. A sea change at catcher? The numbers will prove that might be possible: Chris Coste: 6-for-33, 2 R, 0 HR, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 9 K Lou Marson...
