Phillies VS Rockies Gamethread. Monday.

Hamels VS Lyles. The Phillies have the upper hand with pitching in this one. Lyles is basically a number 5 starter at best. But it is Coors field where balls often leave the park. Look for Howard and Franco to hit some
bombs in this one. The win streak should continue!

I was hoping we'd get to validate KK's 6.70 ERA in this series but he's not on the menu.

Just imagine that the Rockies chose him to be their opening day starter! Tells you a lot about their pitching!

WTF? No Ruf? I think this would be a good time to give Odubel a night off and put in Ruf.

 

[jvett77]

He hit a homer and must be rested. You don't want to pressure the guy at this point. lol. They've done this a lot with Ruf.

Lame News Update: Phillies signed 31 year old, rhp, Chris Leroux, a 6-year, 6.03 ERA reject from FLA, PIT orgs. Sharing a rental in Reading with Jason Nix.

Hamels was fortunate to get out of a 2nd and 3rd jam in the 4th with his 4th K. So far the Phillies energy level has dropped a notch or two, plane ride, less oxygen, etc.

 

[jvett77]

Finally. Herrera doubles in Franco and Utley in the 6th. 3-1 Phils. Ruiz singles in Herrera. 4-1. 2 outs. Hamels up.

 

[jvett77]

Hamels strikes oat. Nice inning. Six in a row?

 

[jvett77]

Utley turns a nice DP from an awkward throwing position at 2nd. I guess he isn't injured after all like I thought during his slump.

Another Amaro tactic in order to block Nola from being called up to Lehigh. Leroux will take the slot
that belonged to Severino Gonzalez who is slated to replace Billingsley. Fire Amaro now!

We'll also get to see that slug, Aumont, soon since he's much improved on the farm recently.

Phils move into 4th place with a win tonite since MIA lost tonite.

Another move by the worst GM in baseball. This guy has an ERA over 8.00 in triple A this season. He will take the slot that Severino is leaving so he can join the Phillies again. Gonzalez will replace Billingsley. It is now time to call up Nola to triple A Lehigh. Someone please slap Rueben in the face!

Top o' the 8th. 4-1 Phils. Let's see if they can extend this to six-in-a-row.

 

[jvett77]

Scary rally by COL in the 8th after Franco drops an easy ground ball at third. He's been a vacuum all nite. Garcia blowing it after relieving Hamels with one out. Now 4-2 Phils. 1 out.

 

[jvett77]

Phew! Garcia gets out of it wit a K and flyout. On to the 9th.

 

[jvett77]

Pape on in the 9th. 4-2 Phils.

 

[jvett77]

Paps saves it. 6 in a row! Not since 2012. Snowing in Phila.!
