Great start to the Mets series. Bad news is the Padres also won.
I watched most of the game on the Mets station and I enjoyed getting a different perspective on the game. I learned that the Phillies starting pitchers are quite the offesive force, they lead the National League in hits.
It was good to see Chase Ultey nback and collecting three hits. He is key in not only what he adds but that the players around him ( Ryan Howard ) will get better pitches to hit.
Did you know that Jason Werth is 9 for his last 9 AB's. He needs a hit in his first AB this evening to tie the National League record for most consecutive hits.
It looks like Freddy Garcia is done. He has a visit to Dr. James Andrews scheduled for Thursday and surgery is a real possibility.Russell ( hit or misss0 Branyan was designated for assignment yesterday to make room for Utley. Branyon and the Phillies hope that no one claims him so he can return to the team.
Let's mention the big elephant in the room. Tonight Adam Eaton makes the start for the Phillies. He takes his 6.36 ERA to the mound. The good news is that hee says his shoulder feels better than it has in a long time. I'll take his word for it and predict he gives up 4 runs in 6 innings and the Philleis win. I really think he willdo better but he is after all Adam Eaton.
