In the same game that John Maine left after suffering an arm cramp, Ryan Church took an early exit, due to dizziness, reported SNY during Saturday’s game. The dizziness may be a symptom of Church’s concussion syndrome. Marlon Anderson came in the game to replace Church in the 8th.

It was obvious that something was up, because as the Phillies’ announcers mentioned, Anderson is hardly a late-inning defensive upgrade over Church. Hopefully, it’s nothing too serious, but it’s a real shame that Church’s 2008 season has to constantly be in this flux because of the team’s ill treatment of his condition.
