Phillies Phodder: Weekly Report - 5/16/1988
Record: 14-22, 5th 10.5 GB (1-5)
Power Ranking: 22nd, 60 points
Fan Interest/Loyalty: 70/Below Average
Owner Mood: Satisfied
Attendance: 22,610 per game

Injuries:

SP Paul Gibson, elbow strain, out 2-3 months.
RF Chris James, strianed ab muscle, out 4 weeks

Notes:
We started the the week by losing two fo 3 to Cincinnati, the first game a 7-6 loss in 18 innings. The Reds scored in the top of the 14th, 16th and 17th and we matched them every time. Then we finally lost in the 18th. Our 1 win was a 8 inning 2-0 gem by Steve Cummings.

Then we were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing 14-1, 4-2 and 7-3. We committed 7 errors in the series including 5 in the finale. In the blowout, Bill Krueger gave up 4 runs in 5 IP; Jesse Orosco 4 getting no outs and Steve Howe gave up 6 in 2 IP. Bad pitching and bad fielding not a good combo. Paul Gibson has an elbow strain and was placed on the 60 day DL. I was deciding between Kevin Appier, Greg Hibbard and Tom Newell and went with Tom Newell because I went the other get more seasoning before coming up this summer.

We are 9th or worse in every offensive category. Trading Juan Samuel hurt, but Von Hayes injury hurt even more. Chris James had 4 of the teams 18 HRs when he got hurt. I brought Kevin Ward to take his spot.They may be some more roster changes coming soon.
