As I tweeted earlier, if I wasn’t already drinking tonight, I most definitely would have had to after tonight’s game.
Where to start?
The offense can’t hit with RISP to save their lives.
Ryan Howard can’t hit a breaking ball, as usual, but he’s actually been a bright spot in the two games against the Fish.
Cole Hamels was not the Cole Hamels that we got used to in October.
Chan Ho Park was the Chan Ho Park from early this season.
Overall, this loss comes down to the offense being terrible so far in this series. Everyone and their mother has been leaving men on base. You can’t win games when you go 2-17 with RISP. With Jayson Werth leaving six men on base, Raul Ibanez leaving two, Pedro Feliz leaving five, and Rollins leaving three, they’re not gonna win.
This series is very important for the Phillies. After losing the first two games, they need to come out and put on a good showing tomorrow. They could have come out this series and showed the Marlins who the team to beat in the NL East, but they chose a terrible time to shit the bed.
If this team doesn’t step it up soon, my liver is going to hate me.
