Phillies -Rockies Gamethread Weds.

[northeastphillyguy]

Severino Gonzalez VS Butler. Both pitchers can be hit. The Phillies will need to score some runs. Ruf continues to get bench rot while Frenchy gets the start. Utley has been moved back to the three hole. Ryno is ignoring the fact that Utley has improved while batting 6th. I must stop complaining now so I can have a better outlook by game time.

 

[jvett77]

We'll score 7 runs off of Eddie Butler. The guy blows.

 

[jvett77]

Franco up with 2 on. Can he meet our demands?

 

[jvett77]

Franco hits soft grounder to pitcher who throws wildly first. Utley scores. 1-0 Phils.

 

[jvett77]

Francoeur singles. Howard scores. 2-0 Phils. Butler really does blow.

 

[jvett77]

Odubel walks and their loaded for Ruiz.

 

[jvett77]

Ruiz Ks.

 

[jvett77]

Excellent 3rd base plays by Franco so far.

 

[jvett77]

Howard pounds a 425 footer over CF wall. Phils 3-0.

 

[jvett77]

Franco grounds out to second. The bum.

 

[jvett77]

Francouer with a double as Blackmon cannot make the diving catch. Odubel up.

 

[jvett77]

El Toro singles to left to score Frenchy. 4-0 Phils.

 

[jvett77]

Ruiz walked intentionally after the bad pickoff throw to first moves Herrera to 2nd. Severino up. He grounds out ending it.

 

[jvett77]

Galvis makes the play of the game - gets a grounder to his right, turns and jumps in the air to make an amazing toss to first. Left side of the infield is best in the majors, perhaps.

 

[jvett77]

Utley, Howard, and Franco up in the 7th. Still 4-1.

 

[jvett77]

Chase grounds out. Howard doubles to right. Franco up.

 

[jvett77]

Franco grounds out. Francoeur up.

 

[jvett77]

Francoeur grounds out ending the Phils 7th. Very exciting.

 

[jvett77]

Confused Francoeur let's the fly drop in front of him. Runner now on third one out. Still 4-1 Phils.

 

[jvett77]

4-2 now in the 8th.
