Myers is awful again as Phillies fall 8-6 to Braves

By Paul on May 15th, 2008

Myers let up 8 runs including 3 home runs in 4 1/3 inning to continue is terrible pitching as the Phillies fell to far behind and lost 8-6.Myers has been pitching like a bad 5th pitcher not a number one. He has let up the most home runs in baseball and shows no sign that he will pitch like the Phillies believe he can. I still think he should be the closer and is mentally just not in starter mode.

The good news is the Phillies fought back with homers from Utley and Howard. They were just a few feat away from pulling out the victory. With 2 men on and two outs Shane Victorino hit a ball to deep right-center but the ball fell a few feet short. Chris Coste had 4 hits and continues to be a hitting machine who I think should be starting at this point.
