Phillies Cubs gamethread - Saturday.

Hamels VS Arrieta. Hamels pitching against a team that may want to trade for him. Scouts will be on hand today to see if he can get back to form. The stress of being showcased could get to Hamels, or he may decide to bear down and block it out. Either way the Phillies need to give him some run support today.
GO PHILLIES!

How about that lardass! 3-run homer in the 3rd. Phils 3-0.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Hamels is happy with the homerun!

 

[jvett77]

Hamels has a 5-inning no-hitter going. One walk. This could be his last game as a Phillie. What a way to increase your trade value. He might go tonite.

 

[jvett77]

Into the 7th with the no-hitter. 9 Ks.

 

[jvett77]

Hamels strikes out the side in the 7th. 12 Ks! On to the 8th.

Galvis gets a bloop double, scoring Asche then the Cubs toss the ball all over the field allowing Galvis to score. lol. 5-0 Phils. in the 8th. 2 oats and Hamels on 2nd.

 

[jvett77]

Cesar single and Hamels to third. Odubel is up.

 

[jvett77]

Odubel flies out and Hamels goes back to work in the 8th. 5-0. This game is in the bag.

Odubel saves the day with a falling down running catch in near the wall. 2 outs in the 8th.
