So my guess is Roy Halladay had last night's bullpen debacle front and center in his mind when he took the mound tonight against the Braves and figured he would just go out and throw another complete game and not take any chances. Then again, this is what Roy does, he shuts teams down. The result, a 2-0 shutout and a much needed night off for the bullpen. However make no mistake this wasn't a one man show. The Phillies flashed more leather than the Sons of Anarchy, high lighted by a Troy Glaus homerun robbing Shane Victorino in CF, a crucial bases loaded doubleplay to end the 7th inning and a great diving stab by Ryan Howard.
2 games, 2 top notch pitching performances from the starting staff but only 1 victory. Jamie Moyer goes for the Phils in the rubber match on thursday which means, even with a great Moyer outing, the bullpen is likely to get its 1st shot at redemption. They could have gotten that shot tonight, But Roy "Doc" Halladay had other plans.
