[bkox]

Now Hoskins cant hit or play defense.

[LoneStarPhan]

So after back to back walks, Neris gets the DP ball and Hoskins can't catch the throw to first. Replay shows the ball right on line to Hoskins.

Horrendous error allows the Pirates to take the lead.

[LoneStarPhan]

Neris walked the two that were on base and that is on him. Still, the inning ends if Hoskins catches a throw to first that was not high, not low, and not off line.

Phillies also failed to score lead off doubles in the last two innings and had numerous runners not driven in earlier in the game.

Plenty of blame to go around in this one.

One more chance to right these wrongs.

[Patchmk88]

On Hector? He was out of the inning and our first baseman dropped the ball.

[LoneStarPhan]

Once again, the Phillies lose to a last place team. In this one, they handed the win to the Pirates with an error. Of course, they also failed to convert multiple chances to score more runs before the ninth inning.

A sad, disappointing outcome to a game the Phillies could have and should have won.

[schillingfan]

Nice job by Ranger again. Who is Jared Hughes? They acquired so many nonentities at the trade deadline, I can’t keep the bullpen straight.

[zambonir]

Yeah but he put the run in scoring position. He needed luck and he got it...and then he didn't.

[Philsmania]

Like I said, they play to the level of their opponent.
