He was pretty good in the early on against the Mets last week. GKR said that originally they were going to pitch Asher on Friday and have the 'bullpen game' on Saturday. But then they moved Saturday's game to Fox (because of the keen national interest in the Phillies). Pete Mackanin didn't want to be an embarrassment by throwing 9 innings of bullpen on a national broadcast, so he'll probably pitch Asher on Saturday and strike the match on his bullpen game on Friday instead.
