The Phillies lost yesterday — which came as no surprise to most. We all knew that a team who hadn’t seen in-game action for 8 days going up against the best pitcher in baseball and his terrifying band of power hitters was not going to end well.
In fact, some of us were so confident in the loss, that it started to feel a bit like we might actually pull out a win before the day was done — but that didn’t happen... or did it?
While, yes, the Phillies had the loss tacked on to their record, setting them at a disappointing 1-3, there were a lot of intriguing aspects of yesterday’s game that I feel are worth pointing out, so let’s dive in.
