Jonathan Broxton comes on in the ninth and gets two ground outs and a Chase Utley fly out to end the game and even the series at one. Utley gets the goat horns in this one as his throws are deteriorating. This series won’t be a sweep!
Overall, very good pitching today as the [...]

If the Dodgers get leads to the bullpen they will feel real confident about winning games. Jonathan Broxton has been a lights out closer all season for the Dodgers. But in the post season, Broxton has not had great numbers. Broxton has pitched in 10 games in his post season career and [...]

Jonathan Broxton gives up a hit but no runs. The Phillies take an 8-6 lead into the bottom of the ninth with Kemp, Blake and Loney due up. Kemp and Blake are a combined 1 for 8, but Loney has three hits, including a rare Dodger Stadium home run.
Update: Lidge is on for [...]

More precisely, it was Chase Utley's errant throw on a taylor-made double play that greased the rails for a two-run rally when the Phils should have been four outs from heading home with the pennant locked in a vice grip. All the meetings, international flights, scouting reports, negotiations, warm-ups and maneuvering that went into bringing once and current titan Pedro Martinez...

I find it interesting that when the Phillies talk about Chase Utley’s throwing problems in the first two games of the NLCS they concentrate on the errors:
Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa, who managed Utley when he first came up in Philadelphia, doesn’t buy it.
“No, no, no,” Bowa said when asked if Utley’s issues [...]

Second baseman's throwing error in Game 2 opens the door for the Dodgers to win the game. The throw mirrors his bad throw in Game 1.

It’s tough to say this, but Chase Utley is to blame for the Game 2 loss to the Dodgers. That’s not a statement often heard in these parts, however, it’s the truth.
Utley’s eighth inning error, on what looked to be a sure double play, cost the Phillies the game, and possibly, momentum. The blunder was [...]

Los Angeles led the NL in team batting average, but Philadelphia -- with Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and more -- can overpower pitchers.

We lost - and inspite of a great effort by Pedro, Chase Utley cost us the game. Utley's head has been up his Buttley (2 nights in a row????)! I also took Jeff from a great appetite to turning down one last meatball...Read the full article on Bleacher Report...

Cole Hamels may have come away with the win tonight but his behavior after Chase Utley’s 5th-inning throwing error was disturbing.
After Utley failed to complete a double play Chase threw his arms up in the air and stared in Utley’s direction. Not extremely demonstrative and I can understand his frustration, but you do not show [...]
