Game 34 Phils @ Marlins May 9th

A few notes.
The Phils have won 6 in a row in there and are 17-3 last 20 and have 22 home runs last six games.

Ok good start, Rollins hits one out in left that just barely gets over the fence and actually ticks off the edge of Stanton's glove, the 36th career leadoff homer for Rollins. This also puts him 5th all time in lead off hr's one ahead of Bobby Bonds.

Howard doubles with two outs and Ibanez gets a hit but Howard was out by 30 feet at home so I'm not sure if he ran a stop sign or if Samuel sent him, but if he sent him why do that it wasn't even close, very odd.

Ryan great throw to second for double play in the first. He usually wings that ball ten feet off line or right into the outfield.
Four hits in the third to get one run, then Raul pops up for the second out.

Ross Gload comes through big with a hit that gets one home as Polanco stopped coming around third. But the throw was airmailed to the backstop and the pitcher wasn't backing up so Polanco heads home and he's going to be out as the catcher throws it back to the pitcher covering home, but he drops it and Polanco is safe.

Blanton just back from the DL is serving up BP. Ramierez is hitting under .200 but now he's 2 for 2.

Pete Orr hasn't shown that he can hit yet but he has shown that he can turn a double play as well as anyone I have seen on this team in a long time.
He just knows how to move off the bag and get out of the way when he Gets the throw. He protects himself with the bag and gets to the right side of the bag on his throws so he doesn't get blown up by the runner, he also makes very good throws to first as he's getting out of the way of the runner.
Four double plays through five for the Phils defense.

Only division with more then one team of 20 or more wins (3).
I think at this point we can call this the league's toughest division. 

The question I have is what is the plan for Vance Worley. He is a starter and pitched two great games in place of Blanton.
Tonight he comes in out of the bullpen and throws three innings. Gave up a HR but was very good again. I just don't want them to mess around with this guy. Don't put him in the pen and have him lose his starting ability for the season.
Send him down and let him pitch or put him in the rotation up here. Don't screw around with him.

Mood is up again after yesterday's panic due the them not getting clutch hits. Tonight Gload had two RBI's and two clutch hits.
It took four singles in a row just to get one run but they did get a few more in the inning after that.
Oh, can't Forget about the throw to start a DP by Howard.

Win 6-4 Blantons first W
STREAK 1 win
Record 23-11 best in league
