No Trades & A Terrible Loss
No Trades & A Terrible Loss
Well the trading deadline has come and gone and for the first time in years, the Phillies made no trades. That is probably not the worse news, to top off an uneventful trading deadline, the Phillies lost to the San Francisco Giants 9 to 2. The Phillies looked awful and it didn’t help that Kyle Kendrick did his best Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels , Chad Qualls impersonation giving up 7 Runs, 6 earned over 2 innings. The only two highlights of the night was Cody Asche making his first MLB start at third base dove for a ball, that Michael Young probably would not of gotten, and it stopped from the Giants from scoring more runs. The talks of Chase Utley getting an extension may have helped him drive in the Phillies only 2 runs and one was his 14th HR of the year. The Giants out hit the Phillies last night 14 to 5. The Phillies coming off a great win Monday night, looked flat and came out stiff. After the game Kyle Kendrick spoke about his poor performance, “I have to make better pitches, that’s what it comes down to,” said Kendrick, whose ERA rose to 4.29. “They found some holes, and It was a frustrating night for me” (1). The Phillies continue their series with the Giants tonight, and celebrate the career of Brad Lidge who will retire tonight as a Phillie. All fans will receive a free Brad Lidge photo. Cole Hamels get the nod and looks to help the Phillies win their first series since the Chicago White Sox win on July 14th. Matt Cain gets the start for the Giants. The game starts at 7:05pm and the Brad Lidge festivities will start pregame.
