After taking 2 out of 3 against the Jays, the Phillies travel to Florida for a 3 game series against the Fish.

Pitching Matchups:

Tuesday May 22nd--- Cole Hamels vs Scott Olsen--7:05 pm CSN
Wednesday May 23rd-- Freddy Garcia vs ?Byung Hyun Kim----- 7:05 pm CSN
Thursday May 24th--- Jon Lieber vs Dontrelle Willis --7:05 pm CSN

Players to watch:

Philadelphia:

RF Shane Victorino continues his great base stealing, now in the top 5 with 16 SB.
1B Greg Dobbs has been great since he filled in for Ryan Howard.
RHP Brett Myers has been lights out as a closer allowing only 2 ER since his move to the bullpen, lowering his Era down to 4.58

Florida:

2B Dan Uggla is coming around after struggling in April, now tied for the team lead in homeruns with 8.
3B Miguel Cabrera is a threat any time he steps up to the plate.
SP Dontrelle Willis is hit or miss when he faces the Phillies, he's 8-5 with a 3.78 Era in 18 career starts.

Weather Forecast for Miami:

Tuesday May 22nd--- Scattered Thunderstorms High 83
Wednesday May 23rd--- Partly Cloudy High 84
Thursday May 24th--- Isolated Thunderstorms/Wind High 84

I think Thursday is a tough matchup, but hopefully we can hit Kim and Olsen hard.

im not too worried about willis sometimes we really get to that guy

all4phillysportsfan · 05-22-2007, 11:13 AM

Yeah it seems he either pitches a 3 hit complete game against us or he is wild and gives up 5 or 6 runs.

exactly

What a game. Phillies blow a 4 run 9th inning lead. Charlie and Rod Barajas get thrown out after Hanley Ramirez slid underneath Barajas's tag.

Barajas's tag.

I agree. Jason Jaramillo or any one of our minor league catchers wouldn't have made this mistake.

fire_bettman · 05-24-2007, 10:34 PM

2 more bone head plays he has to go

all4phillysportsfan · 05-25-2007, 10:50 AM

Barajas needs to go for sure. Keep Coste up here.

fire_bettman · 05-26-2007, 11:37 PM

and he gets the start today (sat) after blowing off his mistake to the media as no big deal because we won the game anyway
