Todays game was part of the annual tribute to the Negro League. The Phils and Braves wore old uniforms of teams from that league.
The Braves wore the old Atlanta Black Crackers jerseys and the Phils wore the jerseys of the Phila Stars from 1944.
I love the red pockets on the back side. Very nice job with the replica uni's
As for the actual game ugh.
I only watched the first three innings then went to a family graduation, listened to the rest on the radio.
Big Joe Blanton started today. He is just not ready yet and
It was clearbn the first few innings as he was getting knocked around. Without a few outstanding defensive plays he would have given up more then just the two runs in the first. Btw those two runs where two long home runs by the first two batters of the game for the Braves.
the bigger story is, surprise the Phils couldn't hit again.
Jurjenns, took a perfect game 2 outs into then sixth inning. The Phils rule five guy Martinez singles and Rollins doubles him home but was out trying to get to third.
This got it to 2-1 but then Kendrick came in and gave up three.
The Phils somehow managed two more runs to get to 5-3 and almost tied it but Rollins hit a screamer to left that was caught. That would have knocked in two and tied it but that was it for the Phils and the game was over.
Once again they gave up a hit to the opposing pitcher and for good measure they also walked him.
A controversial safe call at second that should have been the second out, gave the Braves a chance to score a few runs and they did.
So I guess yesterday's missed strike out on Victorino just got evened up.
Victorino also left the game in the seventh with a tight hamstring so he might end up on the DL too, plus he lost his hit streak at 15.
Mood is bored and a little concerned. I'm bored, team is boring, they don't score runs which is boring. Concerned because they keep getting hurt and because they need to score more runs.
Loss 5-3
Streak 1 loss
Record 25-13
