Phillies Braves Gamethread Sunday.

Hamels VS Miller. Tough game to call. Miller is pitching well. Hamels will need run support but that doesn't happen much. Brown and Howard will be back in lineup today. But why? Cut Brown now. He can't hit or field.

 

[jvett77]

Brown's batting 8th at least. I was hoping they might try Ruf at cleanup but they feel his .150 vs RHP this year doesn't cut it vs Howard's .247.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Brown should not be playing while Revere sits. Revere has been benched for the last 4 games while Brown gets the starts. Revere had a hot June and then gets benched?

 

[Retroram52]

Brainedead formula: Players get hot=benching to play total stiffs.

 

[jvett77]

They just said that Revere has slight ham string - you know, it's the hamy thing. I believe it. I don't think they'd bench Revere now at .291 in favor of .186 Brown.

 

[jvett77]

Geez, Ruf knows how to strike out twice and I'm bored watching Howard do it. wtf.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know if I even have the motivation to watch another crappy game.

 

[Retroram52]

Seriously. Extra innings of this stuff?

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Hard to watch knowing that the Phillies will lose this game in advance. There is a lack of character on this team. But one has to wonder how Hamels feels. They never give him run support.

Those are the only kind of games left on the menu. lol.

 

[jvett77]

Looks like Phils can win it here with 2 on, no outs and Franco and Howard up.

 

[jvett77]

They walk Franco. Howard can't strike out here can he?

Hamels did well today and increased his value for this month's trade.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard would not be Howard if he wasn't whiffing.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Bring in BLANCO to pinch hit for Howard!

 

[jvett77]

Sac fly to right by Howard. Phils 1-0.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard hits a sac fly and Herrera scores and there is one out. I must be just not awake yet.

 

[Retroram52]

Holy cow, Ruiz hits a deep double to left and two more score. Phils up 3-0.

 

[Retroram52]

Ruiz to third on the sac hit by Asche. Galvis up with two outs.

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis singles and Ruiz scored. Phils up 4-0. WTH?
