I meant to write about this on Monday, but there was whole MLB Draft thing going on. The Phillies lost their series opener in Cincinnati against the Reds 6-4. Cole Hamels started and pitched poorly for the first time since May 2. Meanwhile, the offense squandered plenty of opportunities against an unsharp Mike Leake.
The game featured two of my bigger pet peeves with manager Ryne Sandberg this season: Hamels was overworked, and reliever Justin De Fratus was misused yet again.
