| Even Loss |
| 2012-05-23 09:06:12 |
We faced good pitching last night, and we lost. But I should qualify that by saying that the starting pitching was evenly matched. It was very evenly matched, actually. The problem was the relief. Let me explain. Doubront faced off against Brian Matusz. Matusz gave up one run on two hits in six and a third innings while walking [...]...

Buchholz seems to have returned to his usual, inconsistent self. Or rather his usual, consistently inconsistent self. Or rather his usual, consistently mediocre self. However you word it and no matter how you look at it, the result was still the same: we won, but we could just as easily have lost. And that should [...]...

This one was pretty straightforward. We won. And this time we get to thank everybody. We thank Beckett, whose solid start kept us very, very much in the game at all times. He went seven and two-thirds innings and gave up only one run on seven hits. He walked two and struck out five and [...]...

Better. Much, much better. I would have preferred a more lopsided score in our favor, but a win is a win and this will do. Our pitching staff held its own for the most part, but unlike Friday’s game, the offense brought it yesterday. You can tell a lot from a game’s final score. If [...]...

When I envisioned the start of Interleague play, I obviously envisioned us winning. I mean, we’re an American League team. We should be cleaning up with National League teams. Except that the Phillies are the Phillies, and when a National League team has an American League closer that you yourself trained, it represents a special [...]...

Again, the teams were fairly evenly matched. Fortunately, we came out on top this time. The final score was 5-3, but a lead is a lead, and whoever holds on gets the W. I n this particular case, we almost didn’t, but in the end the day was ours. It was another combined team effort, [...]...

That’s a tough loss to take. We pitched well, we defended well, but unfortunately we did not hit well by any stretch of the imagination. We collected a grand total of seven hits, and we worked a grand total of two walks. Fortunately, the two teams were very evenly matched, so we can take pride [...]...

Well, would you look at that! Not only back-to-back gems, but back-to-back wins as well! Is this us turning our entire season around? I’m wary to say, since there have been times when it looked like that might be the case and then it turned out that it wasn’t so much. As I’ve been saying, [...]...

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I would say that I don’t even know where to start, but the truth is that I’m going to start where it’s obviously proper to start: Jon Lester. This, unequivocally, was one of Jon Lester’s best-pitched games all year so far. The start to this season has taught us that, as [...]...

We won yet again! And we did it facing two of our former pitchers: Justin Masterson and Dan Wheeler. Each of them was credited with a half of our run total. It’s always a pleasure to see old friends. It’s also always a pleasure to remind them what a great place to play they left [...]...
