What was the point in using Joe Blanton and J.A. Happ in relief today? What was the thinking that went into that? I just don’t understand.
They weren’t asking somebody to go in there and pitch five innings. They were looking for a some outs and two innings at the most.
Why do you use two of the guys who you might ask to start a game in the series? I guess he’ll go to Pedro Martinez to start in game three and hopefully he’ll do a good job.
As for Cole Hamels, he couldn’t help but be distracted with his wife going into labor, but the Phils had their chances and didn’t capitalize on them as much as they could have.
