Doc ordered a perfect prescription.
Roy Halladay just got done pitching a perfect game! What was the score? Well the Philadelphia offense only mustered 1 run, perfect game against Florida, what did they get? Well a big fat 0 up on the score board. He has pitched the 2nd perfect game in Phillies history.
Score:
1-0 Phillies on top.
Defense:
Juan Castro playing 3rd base for the injured Placido Polanco. Polanco is still felling the effects of a swollen left elbow that got hit by a pitch from Tim Hudson of the Braves. He is under going a MRI on Sunday.
“It’s been bothering me ever since I got hit,” said Polanco, who feels the injury was made worse by coming back too soon. “It comes and goes. I’ve been able to play, but sometimes I swing and miss and it seems like I hyper extend my elbow, and then it feels weak and I can’t extend it, field or hit.
“It hurts there a little bit, too, just from the touch.”
“The MRI is going to be the answer to everything,” Polanco said. “See how bad it is and what it is and if it can get worse, or if it’s just inflammation.”
Playing at SS is Wilson Valdez, who is trying to stay up with the Phils. Valdez’s time maybe running out with Phils as Jimmy Rollins is expected to be back by June 6. Either Castro or Valdez is to be optioned to AAA ball. If Polanco is going on the DL both of them will stay up and play for a little longer.
“I don’t think about that,” Valdez said in Spanish. “What I have to think about is helping [the team], playing, doing my job, and for them to decide what they need to decide, because I can’t control those things. The only things I control are the games they put me to play in. They have their plans, and they know what they have to do. Not me.”
“I put him out there because he has talent, he can run, he can handle the bat,” Manuel said. “He was trying to hit that hole last night and hit that ball to right field, and that’s the sign of a guy who knows how to play.”
