i think tommy joseph has to play every day. ryan howard will be left-handed pinch hitter, occasional starter. that is how it will even. i don't think they will release him. rest of the season will be sort of like that. and rather than release him which i think would not be the right thing to do considering what he has done in this town, he will play out string and play out the four months. >> i agree. >> tommy joseph will likely start tomorrow with the cubs a begins john leaster, joseph a big part of the five run fifth with the phillies fifth today. nearly goes yard. rbi double. phillies up four to nothing. next batter, jimmy parades, no doubt about this one, three run home run. phillies go up seven to nothing. next batter cameron rupp goes back to back. yes, phillies go back to back for first time all season. they have scored more than three runs in an inning for the first time all year, too. phillies winning big eight-one. finally some run support for aaron nola. >> it was awesome, i mean guys hit incredible today. couple hom

. >> last night here's howard playing the role of mentor to tommy joseph who will take his spot in thee up for a while, with or without howard, phillies are struggling. that is wilson ramos with the three run home run off adam morgan, and nationals with just too much fire power, last night, to the ninth spot in the game david le making a nice catch but they need runs. phillies lose seven-two. that is six straight losses and back under 500 for first time since april 24th. as for howard situation it is a tough thing to watch as fan favorite and one of the the key pieces of the world series run goes out this way. mackanin is making right move by benching him but this need to be long term. howard is no longer a viable option, to be more than pinch hitter, and phillies need to see what tommy joseph is capable of. you hate to see an important philadelphia philly go out this way but it has been a long time coming since he tore his achilles, it has been a decline downhill. all good things must come to an even. >> do they always have to. >> it is the worst. >> i didn't make it up. >> yes, you l

this is only highlight right now for phillies, has been tommy joseph. pete mackanin says he will be the new every day starting first base man, hitting over .300. is this the right decision going forward, or still give howard some work. >> i think fact that joseph has been so successful you have to play him every day now and see what he is. they have to decide who their first base man of the future. could it be? i didn't think he would be able to hit home runs, to be considered for that spot but he has a lot of pop and he can be a 25 home run guy. if he can do that, then he is their first base man of the future but right now they are playing it right way. ryan howard with the occasional pinch hit and start. you have to keep joseph in the line up. >> even though you are paying howard 25 million and face of the franchise and on the first base, that is enough. >> i'm not saying release ryan howard. keep him on the team. spot him. he seems willing to accept that role as well. and he has been a pro bit. of course if i got paid 25 million-dollar i might be a p
