Game 61 Dodgers @ Phils

This was bar far the worst game of the sea on for the Phils.
The first inning was really a joke.
Victorino leads off the inning with a walk, great Polanco bounces one at the pitcher. Does Victorino wait for itto get through? No he head over to third and is thrown out by a mile. Polanco on first.
Utley walks, runners at first and second.
Howard week ground ball for a force at second, runners on the corners.
Raul dribbles to the pitcher for the third out.
AWFUL!

Then you see the Dodgers. A leadoff double to start. A line drive right at Utley, he has Kemp out to dry for a double play but throws the ball into left field. No error as he stays on third but should be two outs.
THen a walk for second and third.
Backup catcher Navarro hitting .196 singles and Kemp scores easliy from Second on a grounder through the hole because Ibanez has a noodle for an arm.

Inning ends on a DP. But they are able to get a leadoff double in or a run, something the Phils cannot do.

Then comes the Phils second inning.
I forgot to mention the starter for the Dodgers is a rookie making his first start ever in the bigs.
Rubby De La Rosa, pronounced like the gem.
Anyway Ruiz gets the Phils third walk already to lead it off.
Dom Brown walks. Four walks no outs in the second, two on no outs.
This guys all overthe place and getsto 3-0 on Valdez.
Valdez lines a single up the middle but no ne scores because these guys at the bottom of the lineup are as slow as anyone, so the bases are loaded no outs, Oswalt strikes out.
Victorino bounces a hard one at the pitcher who knocks it down and gets a force at home.
Polanco walks for the fifth walk so far to force in a run.
Right after Wheels says they need to make him pay for all the walks, Utley flies out meekly to right field.

This is the way the rest of the game went. This rookie walked five and gave up only four hits in his five innings.
The Phils only had five hits but left 19 on base with all the walks.
Utley made several messed up throws, Howard and Brown swung at balls that almost hit them in the back foot.

Mood is just miserable, I'm running out of adjectives to describe how I feel and how bad these guys are at the plate. Oswalt was just average he gave up four runs in 6 innings.

Loss 6-2
Streak 1 loss
Last 10 5-5
Record 36-25
