3/9 Phillies vs O's

[justD]

Announcers say Matusz started looking for the around-the-horn ball toss after one pitch thinking he'd gotten a K, only to then realize he didn't get the call. Sigh.

3-2 count then induces a well-hit fly ball, announcers say De Aza got a good jump on it to get the out.

Herrera hits one sharply to Cabrera and gets out of the box quickly, but the throw is also very quick, two outs.

High fly ball to center by Hernandez.

Three up, three down for Matusz.

Real good play by Cabrera for second out, fly to Jones ends inning

Now pitching for Phillies is Aumont.

Pearce hits a 1-0 Popup for out number one.

Davis 1-1 ground ball to shallow right for out number two.

Tillman's line: 2.0 IP, 1H, 0ER, 1BB, 1SO, 54 pitches.

54 pitches in two innings?

Jones his a first-pitch ground ball single that he then stretches into a double because the fielder spun around and did not get the ball back in quickly. Nice heads up, it sounded like, but Woody could validate that...

Jones hustles into second on a short gapper to right, Weiters grounds out 4-3

Maybe my eyes are bad, I'll recheck. I know it was a lot of pitches to get through the first.

Geezus. 32 pitches. Can't trust Gameday, sorry.

On Howard's swinging strikeout for out number two, announcers call it: "Whoo, filthy."

[PaulFolk]

The Phillies' announcers used the word "filthy" to describe a Brian Matusz pitch. Probably the first time that's happened since 2010 or so.

Matusz easily retires first 2 batters, Francoeur doubles to right

Francoeur opposite field 2-out double went over Davis' head in right field (he's been swapped with Pearce at 1B today, looks like a good idea to get him some practice lol)
