I didn't watch the game today, but judging from the box score and the recap, it was not pretty to watch. Again it seems the Phillies were outhit and doomed by poor defense.-"Delgado led off the second with a bunt single against an overshifted infield." - That's ridiculous that they could let that happen, how do you not see that he would be able to lay a bunt down if you overshift too much.
-"Runners left in scoring position, 2 out: A Nunez 3, P Burrell 2
Team LOB: 9" - Again leaving people on base is really killing us.
-Victorino, Utley, Howard, Burrell, and Ruiz all struck out twice today. If you strikeout there's no chance for a ball to make it through the infield or for a fielder to make an error. A strikeout is a wasted atbat and our 2-6 hitters each had 2 today.
-Why was ol' Abe Nunez playing - he left 5 on base. I guess Helms isn't doing that well which is true.
All of this I noticed from the box score and a quick glance at the recap. Sad stuff. Hopefully the rest of the series doesn't go like this.
