Phillies vs. Red Sox

3rd & 7 37yd

Hamels gets Sandoval looking to end what is somehow the third inning

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 7:56:29 PM
The Rockies have scored 10 for Kyle Kendrick

by Tony 74 4/6/2015 7:58:36 PM
@Tony74: Apparently that was the key the whole time, give Kendrick a 10-run lead

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 7:58:53 PM
If you looked away for a second, you missed Freddy Galvis grounding out to start the bottom of the third.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 7:59:14 PM
We're through three innings. The Phillies are still looking for their first hit of 2015.

by Ryan Lawrence via twitter 4/6/2015 8:01:06 PM
The Phillies are a third of the way to getting no-hit on opening day

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:03:22 PM
So what inning do Phils get 1st hit?

by Tony 74 4/6/2015 8:03:52 PM
@Tony74: Let's say Ryan Howard bunts to the left side in the ninth but no one can get him around, also the score is 7-0 at that point

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:04:34 PM
Phils win this game 6-5

by jimp8514 4/6/2015 8:05:20 PM
Gonna be a long season Harry!

by Whitey 4/6/2015 8:05:34 PM
Utley's hit was ruled an error I take it?

@smartinupV2.0: Mm-hmm

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:06:47 PM
@JKlugh it still would be a close play at 1st.

by Dbo 4/6/2015 8:06:52 PM
As I tweeted earlier, Hamels has a 4.91 ERA in 9 career first starts of season. He also has a career 4.05 ERA in 37 career April/March games

by Ryan Lawrence via twitter 4/6/2015 8:06:56 PM
@Dbo: Yeah, and the guy bobbles it for a couple seconds, too

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:07:09 PM
Ben Revere, fielding the ball in left field, manages to hold the catcher at first #cannon

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:08:05 PM
@JKlugh hahahaha.

by Dbo 4/6/2015 8:08:07 PM
Hamels is a Cali boy - he thrives in the warm months.

by Dbo 4/6/2015 8:08:13 PM
Pretty nice play at first by Ryan Howard to help Hamels get out of the fourth inning. Nifty backhand throw.

by Ryan Lawrence via twitter 4/6/2015 8:08:57 PM
And just as I make fun of Howard for being slow, he snags a ground ball, throws it behind himself while going the other way to Hamels covering for the out.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:08:59 PM
And if that didn't make any sense, that's because it was insanity

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:09:11 PM
The lineup is weak no doubt, is it possible that the Phillies get no hit more than once this year?

by Joe 4/6/2015 8:09:15 PM
@Joe: I could see a "2010 Rays" scenario develop, sure

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:09:50 PM
I'm not able to watch the game right now but I'm being told Bucholz is filthy today. An opening day no hitter isn't out of the question. It might just seem fitting.

by smartinupV2.0 4/6/2015 8:09:55 PM
@smartinupV2.0: That and Betts homering off Hamels would lead to a week of smug Boston and Fangraphs analysts proudly touting their estimations that Hamels' value is lower than dirt

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:10:47 PM
@smartinupV2.0: Frankly that's not a world I want to live in

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:11:08 PM
So far this season is living down to expectations. What's the Vegas line for how many innings into the season before the Phillies have their first lead?

by OMG Hippies 4/6/2015 8:13:02 PM
Outside of Buchholz who do they really have that is a tough match up for opponents? Masterson? Looks like a mostly unproven staff so Boston fans should keep their smug comments at bay. Their starting pitching is their only question mark.

by smartinupV2.0 4/6/2015 8:14:21 PM
Herrera strikes out after bashing a pitch off his foot.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:14:58 PM
Which is not ideal

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:15:50 PM
Chase Utley strikes out as well, and everyone feels like they're drowning.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:16:36 PM
Ryan Howard doubles into the gap in left-center to break up Buchholz's no-no with two outs in the fourth inning.

by Ryan Lawrence via twitter 4/6/2015 8:18:30 PM
Ryan Howard busts the no-hitter with a lively stand-up double. A grateful city thanks him.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:18:43 PM
Does any other team in MLB have a #5 hitter that hit 6 HRs last year?

by OMG Hippies 4/6/2015 8:19:32 PM
@OMGHippies: Phillies home run stats will lead you down a dark road on which you best not travel, friend

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:19:56 PM
Chooch walks, and the Phillies have sent a strong message: We will take at least slightly longer to be defeated than a team with no hits.

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:22:15 PM
Clay Buchholz tries a spin move on bases stealing threat Ryan Howard

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:23:34 PM
Hey at least it won't be like one of the many times last year the Phils didn't draw a single walk

by OMG Hippies 4/6/2015 8:23:37 PM
Grady Sizemore grounds out to shortstop to end another scoreless, yet most successful, inning of the day for the Phillies

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:24:22 PM
Wow, we had people on base?

by Mydoghasfleas 4/6/2015 8:24:24 PM
@Mydoghasfleas: This game can surprise you

by JKlugh 4/6/2015 8:24:46 PM
Anyone bet howard would get the first double of 2015?

by PuttingFromtheKlugh 4/6/2015 8:25:48 PM
There is going to be a generation that grows up in the Delaware valley that aren't Phillies fans, sadly. This is going to be bad for a long time.
