COLE WAS BRILLIANT and JOSE CONTRERAS AND RYAN MADSON COMPLIMENTED HIM WITH EQUAL PERFORMANCES!

 

PHILLIES WIN ANOTHER 1 to 0 GAME >>>>>>>>>>>

 

PULL WITHIN 1 OF THE BRAVES ……………….

______________________________________________________________________

Cole Hamels was the real deal as he has been for some time now. Once again the OFFENSE does nothing behind his shut down performance!

 

 

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	PC-ST	ERA
C Hamels (W, 9-10)	7.0	3	0	0	3	7	0	103-70	3.18
J Contreras (H, 12)	1.0	0	0	0	0	2	0	15-9	3.02
R Madson (S, 5)	1.0	0	0	0	0	1	0	11-7	2.95

 

The only glitch for Sir Cole was a rising pitch count that stalled his dominance after 7 very strong innings. He was money and this was a gem. The offense however came up very lame and small.

 

 

 

Brewers starter Chris Capuano was very good but he was on the hook a couple times and the Phillies choked. The worst case was with the bases loaded and NO OUTS and Raul Ibanez looked like a chump flailing at garbage. Carlos Ruiz came up and ripped a line drive to second that ended up being  double play. In that instance you could not fault Ruiz or the runners. But Ibanez did nothing with a prime opportunity.

 

 

Overall the boys were a very disappointing 0 for 6 with men in scoring position.

 

 

 

• Phillies managed only 4 hits and 2 walks

• Utley had one of the walks

• Polanco went 1 for 3

• Howard singled

• Werth singled

• Victorino had an odd double and scored the only run

• Ruiz had the only RBI

 

 

The story of this game was pitching! Including the Brewers. Again the Phillies did generate enough chances to net more than a run but the Brewers pitching was very solid.

 

 

Hamels had electric stuff but so did Contreras and Madson. It was very exciting to watch. I mean as frustrating as it was to watch the Phillies bats be silenced there was no nervous feelings that the Brewers were going to do anything. The Phillies pitchers was just not going to let that happen.

 

 

The win was made more magical by the Braves loss to the Marlins!
