Weekly Awards

This week its short and sweet:

Player of the Week - 2B Chase Utley: After suffering through a brutal slump for most of June, Chase Utley righted himself this week with a 10 for 27 (.370) performance. He led the team with 6 runs scored and 20 total bases and played the role of table setter for Pat Burrell and Ryan Howard who both had solid weeks as well. Utley's line: .370 avg, 4 2B, 2 HR, 6 R, 4 RBI, 1 SB, .414 OBP, 1.155 OPS.

Pitcher of the Week - SP Cole Hamels: Cole has simply been a workhorse this season and this past week was no exception. Hamels went 2-0 on the week winning both his starts while posting a 2.87 ERA. Simply put, he dominated for the week and fully demonstrated why he is the Ace of the Phillies staff. His line: 15.2 IP, 2.87 ERA, 11 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 15 K, 0.96 WHIP.

Goat of the Week - SP Brett Myers: Brett had such a good week that he is now an IronPig. After another of his pathetic little league esque performances, Brett (and the Phillies fateful) was put out of his misery with a well deserved demotion to the minors to "work on his mechanics". In his one start Brett lasted all of 2 innings allowing 5 H, 5 ER, 1 HR while walking 4 and recording 2 K. That was good for a 22.50 ERA on the week. Good luck in Allentown and good riddance.
