Pedro pitched well. But AJ pitched better. That was the difference.
Pedro pitched well and in no way should this loss be hung around his kneck. Phillies made some bad play decisions - like not pulling Pedro sooner and not advancing the runners during the crucial play after we were given that gift call with Ryan Howard. GO PHILLIES! The Yankees won, but not with the domination we did. Them losing the 1st game at home is still awesome and we will prevail.
Might help if we score some runs. I don't care how well or poorly he pitched, unless it's a shutout, we lost the game scoring only one run.
ditto, Pedro pitched great. Our bats were cold. Actually, EYES were cold, you cant hit if you DONT SWING!!!! Never go down looking, swing!!!
No one expected a sweep. You just have to tip your hat to Burnett. When Pedro was signed this summer, I didn't think he'd be a factor in the postseason. So what he did last night was remarkable. Lastly, I really can't stand Tim McCarver. He's the biggest know-it-all in captivity.
Still like the Phils chances after winning 1 out of the 2. Did anybody really expect them to win both?
The difference in Burnett from last night to when he faced the Phillies back in late May was his fastball. His fastball in May was mainly straight and he gave up 4 homers.. Last night every fastball he threw had a nasty tail on it and he moved it around very well. His control was also excellent last night as he threw 1st pitch strikes to almost every hitter. We were fortunate to get the one run we did with a bloop that hit the foul line and a ball that Arod probably should have caught. Pedro pitched very well and made one bad pitch to Matsui. We're gonna need to find a way to scratch out a few runs off Pettite which will be real tough.
1st base umpire needs his eyes checked. Chase being out looked like a makeup call for the missed double play.
All we needed was one game in the Bronx. Two would have been a bonus. Now we have home field Advantage.
The Yankee$ didn't beat Martinez. Martinez beat himself. Like the namesake Yank-ee$.
Jeff Nelson gave Burnettand Rivera calls he didn't give Pedro. If Burnett or Rivera threw it and Nelson could see it, it was a strike. All in all, thsse hand picked veteran umps were no better than the LCS crews.
Just as in LA in Game 2 of the NLCS, Pedro pitched beautifully. But games are not going to be won with one run-- whether the opponent is LA or the Yankees. Too many Phillie strikeouts (some on questionable calls) and not executing when we had the opportunity to score runs and we find the Phils at 1-1. Let's hope Cole is up and sharp for Game 3.
i'm with you PJ's , I was proud Pedro was in a Phillie uniform last night, he was a Figthnin Phil all the way.. I would bet the house we score some runs tomorrow. The only thing is what Hamels will show up..
Losing Game 2 of a playoff series is a trend that has been working well for the past two years. 1-1 in Tampa, 1-1 with Rockies, 1-1 in LA. Won all those match-ups. Let's go Phils!
I hope ol' Milt will eventually tell the Phight'n Phils to swing at the first pitch after they see 11 or 12 strikes in a row the next time
