Game 44 Rangers @ Phils May 20th

Andy Fletcher is behind the plate tonight and there have been three "discussions" from the Phillies already after the top of the second inning.
He's calling pitches that are below the knees for a strike and right down the middle for balls.
Ruiz already threw a ball down to third on what he thought was a called third strike followed by a lengthy discussion.

Someone might get tossed from this game.

No one was tossed it calmed down after all that.

Roy Halladay pitches another terrific game and only let's two runs in. Somehow the Phils manage three and are able to hold off the Rangers for the 3-2 win.
They only managed four hits but two of them went over the fence to account for the Phils three runs. Francisco hit a two run dinger and later Ibanez hit one out to right center.

Howard is zero for his last 25 or so and is now hitting under .240

Game ended on another screwy call by the home plate ump and the second base ump.
With two outs Dvid Murphy on the Rangers is trying to steal second. The pitch was right down the middle for a ball but the throw to get the runner was right on the mark for the last out.
Usually don't want to make the last out that way, especially last out of the game.

Mood hasn't changed much from yesterday because even though they won they still only had four hits.
A couple of moves today, they brought Dominic Brown up even after Amaro saying yesterdaynthat he wasn't ready to come up and added Herndon back to the team.
Victorino went on the DL and there is some discussion wondering why he was used to bunt yesterday instead of just gong right on the DL and back dating it.


Win 3-2
Streak 1 win
Record 27-17
