Game 78 A's @ Phillies

I'm not sure what's going on with the Pils tonight but Coco Crisp went to third on a fly ball to Shane Victorino. Crisp got to third after he faked tagging up but Victorino double pumped and then just lobbed the ball in to third. Crisp went over on the lob throw.

Then just now Dom Brown leads off the fifth and hits a ball to the second baseman Weeks. He bobbled it but Brown did not run out of the box and was thrown out. He easily would have beat the throw if he ran hard from the plate but he didn't even run hard to the bag.
He hit another ground ball to Weeks again in his next ab and he didn't run hard on that one either. He should have been benched after the first one but they Phils are running on smoke and mirrors right now.
Half the bullpen is hurt, Gload is hurt and still keeps getting pinch hits but they have to put in a runner for him every time.
After they won seven in a row they are 4-4.

Mood has me a little worried. Oswalt is out for awhile. The pen is short and they have stopped hitting again, only four hits today and another loss for Hamels with him pitching another great game.

Loss 4-1
streak 1 loss
Last ten 6-4
record 48-30
