Baseball. When he decided that he was going to keep the same groups for batting practice, which was inside, so he was putting together his new list of groups to go up to hit in the cage, which isnt too far from where his locker is. One ball and one strike to herrera. And odubel went around on that. Its 12. John i could translate that, but id get fired. Tom phillies bullpen action. Benoit is warming up. And odubel strikes out. Ellis hangs on. Two strikeouts in the inning for ellington. No runs, no hits, and one man left. Onto the bottom of the eighth inning, the marlins in control by eight. As their youngsters embark on a swell future. All but one, that is. You see, billy thought itd be neat to try taco bells new boldly seasoned naked chicken chips dipped in a sinful side of nacho cheese sauce. By graduating to these crispy triangles of temptation, the only diploma billy will receive is a masters degree in being hooked. Actually its a bachelors in fine arts. And these things are aweso.

Com to check out tickets and get more information. Traffic is moving pretty good. John i hope its moving good when this ones over. Headed west. Tom well, here is marcell ozuna. Against joaquin benoit. A bouncer to third. Comfortable hop for franco. One out. The way the phillies have gone, we mentioned this the other night, these guys that are normally in the games at the end when theyre leading, which has been few an far between here in the month of may, have to get some work somehow, so theyre in there in these games when theyre trailing late. Tom neris got an inning last night, benoit is getting one day, off day tomorrow. The bullpen will be ready to dial it up on friday. Tom justin bour has two home runs today. First multi home run game of the year. Takes a strike. Its 01. Time now for our cold hard fact brought to you by clean, crisp coors light. And justin bour has moved into a tie with bryce harper and Scott Scheffler for the home run lead in the National League with his two home runs today. Couple of surprising there. John yeah, but weve been nice to all three. Tom very true. Very true. Outside. Its one ball, one strike. John bryce got a couple, scheffler got a couple. Tom very true. John bour got how many . Two today. Did he hit one yesterday . Or was i just dreaming . Tom a double yesterday. John oh, yeah, the double. Tom that bullet off the fence in right field. He certainly adds a little different dimension to this lineup that already has some pop. Man, if he got even a little bit of pitching. Outside. Harper has five home runs against the phillies this year. Scheffler has the two. And bours home runs are a w. B. Mason delivery of the game. John first one here off pinto, first pitch of the inning. Fastball, up out over the plate and then that was an absolute bomb off the Jeanmar Gomez sinker that stayed in the middle part of the plate. And those were our deliveries of the game. Tom lets hope he keeps a little quiet here in this atbat. 22 to him. Up and away. And its 32. By the way, some scoring changes. Marcell ozuna has been given an extra hit for his ground ball in the sixth inning instead of an error charged to Freddy Galvis. And Maikel Franco has been given a hit on his ball in the sixth inning that was originally scored an error to the shortstop. Nothing yet on ball ozuna hit earlier in the game, though. John so the marlins are going to lead the league in fielding percentage and hitting. Tom if the pattern goes as is. 32 to bour. Cody ross, the last one with three home runs in the game for the marlins. Got him. And bour strikes out. Second out here in the eighth inning. Every time the phillies pitchers retire the opposition 1, 2, 3, comcast will make a contribution to phillies charities. Dietrich today is 1 for 4. That one out toward third. And franco gets a little help from tommy joseph to throw him out and its a 1, 2, 3 inning. Eight straight retired by the phillies bullpen. On to the ninth inning. Phillies down 102.

Ty black will take the ball on friday night. Still waiting word who is pitching for the phils. Matt moore on sunday taking on jeremy hellickson. Guys, this one is not over yet. Tom there is jerad eickhoff. John did he do that from a helicopter . Gregg i have left the building. Tom hows the view from there . Gregg the roofs closed. John at least you got a head start out of here. Beat the crowd. Tom here is freddie dpal y who is 0 for 3, facing brian ellington. Out to right field. Ichiro, he got a late start and its over his head and a onehop into the bullpen. A ground rule double for Freddy Galvis that ends a 0 for 10 stretch. Thats his 11th double of the season. Well, that was a better swing. John yeah, its not an overswing. Thats where freddy gets himself in trouble a little bit is the overswing. But the balance was good, the head stayed on the ball. I think sometimes freddy gets a little bit long and too quick with that swing, trying to generate power. Tom i think thats why you would know better than i would, why you see so many foul balls off to the left side when hes batting lefthanded, over to the other teams dugout. John sometimes the harder you try to swing, the slower your bat gets. Tom brock stassi up for the first time. 0 balls, one strike to brock. Brock with 12 hits in 60 atbats so far this year. Ellington in his second inning today, his third inning in the last two days. He went one plus yesterday. John big plans for the off day tomorrow . Tom not really, no. Might do some work around the house, catch up on some things. What about you . John golfing. Tom all day . John no. Just probably, i dont know, till the kids get out of school. I havent seen them in a while. Tom you have no softball left . John no, were done. Tom 32 to stassi. And stassi is down on strikes, for out number one. What about summer softball, no summer softball . John no. Down here . Tom a little too hot . John a little warm. I mean they can play it. Tom youre just not going to coach it. John no. Tom heres cesar, who is 1 for 3. And its 01. Boy, this guys got a live arm. Everything runs toward the outside part of the plate. John youd have to think hed have difficulty getting a ball in on a lefty. He might be a guy you could just look away. Hes trying to come in here, but can he . Tom well, he does. John he does. Tom and cesar fights it off. John its nice, though, you get to fly home this afternoon, you get all day tomorrow. Tom phillies are home for just a brief three games and then back to the road after that. Atlanta, st. Louis and then boston. John should be cool in st. Louis and atlanta. Usually is this time of year. Tom get a chance to see atlantas new ballpark for the first time. John yeah. Tom out of play off to the left. And it remains 12. This weekend the phillies have a night game on friday, day game on saturday and then a concert afterward. Sunday the Maikel Franco batting gloves given out to fans 14 and under. So although its just three games, theres a lot going on at the ballpark this weekend. 12 pitch. To left field and slicing toward the seats. John so the concert is on the second day of the home stand . So youll get to see them if you want . Tom yeah. I will probably stay and just give you a full report as whether you should use them as part of your song list. John yep. Tom hopefully the weather is clear. John well, ill be watching. Tom you know what ill do, ill periscope it so you can watch it too. John whats periscope . Tom another form of social media. John boy, i look forward to that. Tom i guess well have to show you how to use it first. Its like facebook live. John well, that narrows it down. Tom 12 to cesar. Way upstairs. 22. John tell you what, the crowds into it. Anticipating that third out. Tom honestly, these could be the three quietest crowds weve seen. John the loudest thing we heard was murph in the helicopter, the last thing he did. Tom three balls, two strikes. John how do you think Larry Anderson is handling all that crowd noise . Look at that, they got a thing, clap your hands. Tom not everybody is partaking in it. John must have been a golf clap. Tom another one down the left field line. Ozuna will give it a look and he made the catch i dont know how that one stayed in play and did not hit off the wall down the left field line. John i dont know. Cesar is telling them to hold up. Tom the third base umpire, doug eddings, went down. I thought it hit the wall, but it did not hit the wall. John it did not. Tom i dont know how that didnt get out of the ballpark. John you might challenge it, right . Tom its a crew chief review at this point so they would just ask jeff nelson, but eddings seemed to be pretty confident with it. No, theyre not going to ask. Well, thats two outs now with a runner at second. John im just disappointed that corey didnt ask for help tom from doug eddings . Juan nieves is going out to the mound. Theres a lot to talk about when youre up by eight with two out in the inning. John theyre probably telling him first sign after three, dont worry about the guy on second. Weve got to get the hitter. All the normal stuff they say. Johnny padres was the best. He was the most honest. He told a pitcher once, he goes i dont know why im out here. But jimmy told me to come out here and talk to you. He said you have nothing. But i dont know if he wants to keep you in or take you out, but he told me to come out and talk to you. Tom i heard another story where they said he would come out and he would say to i forget to whoever it was, i think youre throwing great, but jimmy does not. John oh, yeah. He told you what he thought would help you. We had one particular pitcher that finished his warmups. I could hear him walking in the dugout from the bullpen. I could hear pads, youve got great stuff. You take that in the game, youre winning today. Back in the tunnel sitting where its cooler, pads, what have we got today . A long game. This guy aint got, you know what. There we go. Tom one ball and two strikes to altherr. And aaron stays alive and pokes it foul. Phillies will wrap up the month of may with only six wins, as this one is popped foul. The worst may they have ever had in a long storied history of this franchise was 1928 when they were 322. John ouch. Tom this month counting the last two games, 622, which winning percentagewise is the second worst. One ball, two strikes to altherr. And 22. John wonder what were going to talk about on the postgame show . Tom anything you want to run out there . They could build a graphic for you. John im at a loss. Tom 22 to altherr. He pops that one up foul off the first baseline. John ive got nothing. I dont know what to say anymore. Tom well, the hope that you have is that something changes the way its changed this way. Through april the phillies were just a game under. 500. But this may has been wraught with poor pitching and poor execution. John the bullpen has been good, though. Tom 22 pitch. That one is popped foul just in front of us. It remains 22. Baseball is a game that is somewhat cyclical. But where will it come from . Thats the big question. I mean you have guys that are putting together months offensively that they have never seen before individually and hence the collective malaise the phillies have been in. John i was just explaining to someone that it was a malaise. Tom thats right. Strike three called. Altherr down looking and the ball game is over. The marlins have swept out the phils in this brief threegame series. Don mattinglys team limping going into their series against the angels have now won backtoback and five of six. Its their first threegame sweep since august of last year at pittsburgh, and their first threegame sweep of the phils since june and july of 2012. They win it today comfortably in the final game of this threegame series. The first month with six or fewer wins since june of 1997. When the phillies were 422. Dan straily today 6 2 3, 8 hits an 10 strikeouts. He was our chevrolet player of the game. He had it going on from the getgo. Not only with his fastball but also his breaking pitch. It had an awful lot of movement on it. Aaron altherr going fishing on that one. Howie kendrick tried to check and could not. Pretty Good Movement on the outside breaking ball. Went back to it a couple different times. Right there he freezes aaron altherr. I thought that was one of the best pitches of the day to Freddy Galvis. He was all smiles when Don Mattingly took him out, but he is our chevrolet player of the game. So the phillies lose it by a final of 102. The marlins sweep the series. Well be back to south florida to wrap it up right after this. Tom phillies baseball has been brought to you by xfinity. It will change the way you experience tv.
