Davey Lopes started things in the fifth inning Tuesday with a simple question for Cole Hamels: When was the last time you slid? “It’s been a long time,” Hamels replied. Hamels, who was on first base, knew exactly why Lopes was asking. He wanted Hamels to steal second base.


Lopes has been the Phillies’ first-base coach since 2007 and is a major reason why the Phillies have been the most successful basestealing team in the Majors. The Phillies have stolen 85.1 percent of their bases the past three seasons. No other team in the Majors is better than 79.2 percent. Lopes is good because he has a knack for picking up a pitcher’s tendencies, much like a poker tell. A shift in body weight, a simple head movement, can tell Lopes if a pitcher is about to throw a pitch, which means a baserunner can take off without fear of being picked off. He also instills confidence in his baserunners that they can steal a base if they want.

If the Phillies cannot trade for Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee or Jarrod Washburn before Friday’s Trade Deadline, they will have to rely on what they have to try to win a second consecutive World Series.

That means they need Cole Hamels to be Cole Hamels. Hamels has battled injuries and inconsistency for much of the season, but lately he is looking up to the challenge. He allowed four hits and one run, striking out nine in eight impressive innings in a 4-3 victory Tuesday over the D-backs at Chase Field. The victory maintained the Phillies’ seven-game lead over the Marlins in the National League East.

If Cole Hamels gets on track, the Philadelphia Phillies will be even more dangerous.

Hamels pitched seven effective innings, Jayson Werth and Pedro Feliz had three hits apiece and Philadelphia beat the San Diego Padres 9-4 in a makeup game Thursday night. One day after their 10-game winning streak ended, the NL East-leading Phillies moved 6 1/2 games up on Atlanta and Florida with their 15th win in 17 games.

The Phillies continue their pursuit of Roy Halladay before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline because they obviously feel they are a much better team with a formidable 1-2 punch atop their rotation.

Cole Hamels hopes to get back on track after rain shortened his start Friday in Florida, where he allowed one run and four hits in five innings. It looked like Hamels was turning a corner after what had been a rough July. Hamels is 1-1 with a 5.74 ERA this month. He allowed seven runs in four innings July 1 in Atlanta before he allowed one run in seven innings against the Reds on July 6. But then the Pirates scored five runs against him in six innings on July 11 before his rain-shortened start after the All-Star break Friday.

To repeat, first-place club’s starting pitching must improve

The Phillies enter the second half of their season Thursday in Florida in first place in the National League East. In many ways, it is easy to see why. They have one of the best offenses in baseball and have played great defense. Five of their everyday players earned a spot on the National League All-Star team: Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth. It was just the fifth time in franchise history the Phillies had five players at the All-Star Game.

The Phillies’ pitchers head into the all-star break off their best 10-game stretch of the season, illustrated by the 2.70 earned run average during a 9-1 homestand they completed yesterday with a methodical 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Nonetheless, the staff obviously needs to be anchored by Cole Hamels, whose first half of the season almost defined inconsistency. Hamels’ shaky performance Saturday night was overshadowed by the dramatic five-run ninth inning that gave the Phillies an 8-7 win. But he gave up five runs in six innings.

Chase Utley, Shane Victorino and Greg Dobbs went deep, Cole Hamels ripped a two-run double and Jimmy Rollins crossed the plate twice — just in the first inning alone.

By the time Jayson Werth circled the bases after hitting a grand slam off an infielder, the Philadelphia Phillies were on their way to handing the Cincinnati Reds the worst loss in team history. Utley hit a three-run homer and Victorino and Dobbs each had two-run shots during a 10-run first, leading the Phillies to a 22-1 victory over the Reds on Monday night.
