Halladay got hit pretty hard.
Although he only gave up 2 in 5 innings and pitched out of trouble in spots, there were a shitload of ropes, and he needed good defense to keep it to 2.
Threw good off speed stuff and cutters, but doesn't look like he can throw a fastball past guys, even in favorable counts.
Looks to me that he either has to change his approach or find some velocity.
Kratz was throwing bitches out ... got both Reyes and Bonifacio attempting to steal second, and those guys can run.
Phillies looked like shit against Brandon Morrow until the 6th when they scored 3 to take the lead (including a 2-run homer from Utley).
Then the bench guys who will on the roster lit up their closer for a 7-2 final.
Good to see them hit real pitchers in their last tune up.
Papelbon had an "eh" ninth against three scrubs, despite 1-2-3, with a grounder to second, deep fly to left, and hard line out to center
Saw the buses leave for the airport ... they're headed north.
