Defense and pitching, folks
During Tuesday's workout day at Citizens Bank Park, Brewers manager Dale Sveum was asked about playing the first two games at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park.
Sveum spoke about the power hitters on both clubs, but added that "pitching and defense" wins in the playoffs.
I bet he's thinking that right now.
Rickie Weeks, not known for defense, dropped an easy play on a Cole Hamels sac bunt. After Yovani Gallardo retired the next two batters, Chase Utley smoked a ball to center, a normally sure-handed center fielder Mike Cameron took a bad route to the ball.
Cameron, a former Gold Glove-winner, still nearly caught the ball. But almost doesn't count in the playoffs.
2-0 Phils... and they're still rallying, as Gallardo has shown absolutely no interest in giving Ryan Howard anything to hit today.
