Victorino especially, he's really looked like a high schooler up there with some of his abs. If those guys were able to get on and make those homers turn into 2 and 3 run blasts then the series would be 2-2 or even 3-1 right now in their favor. I honestly feel bad for Werth and Utley. They've carried this team so far and deserve a lot of credit.

Hate to quote myself but I think the top of the first just proved my point. Simple baseball. guys at the top of the line-up have to get on in front of the big bats.
