GDT: 09/18/2020 GAME 2 Blue Jays (Stripling) at Phillies (Hale)

[LoneStarPhan]

Looks like no GDT for game 2.

I guess the bot doesn't do double headers well.

I'll put this up for any comments anyone wants to make on the game.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Just tuned in. Glad to see the good mojo continuing in game #2.

[LoneStarPhan]

After 3 innings.

Blue Jays 0
Phillies 2

Phillies in first: Harper singled but was out at second. Bohm walked, stole second, scored on Gregorius' single.

Phillies in third: McCutchen home run. Harper double. Moved to third on ground out. Unable to score from third with one out.

Phillies with two runs; two more that might have been but weren't.

Weird to hear Ruben Amaro doing color.

2-0 Phils after 3, very nice work from David Hale who is coming out for the fourth has thrown 29 pitches. As usual, Phils have left a few on base (including Harper stranding himself the first time by getting thrown out at 2B on his first hit. Good play by the OF though).

[andyb]

Anything going on with Haseley?

[zambonir]

Hale leaves one up for a solo home run with 1 out, can he make it through the 4th? Romero now up.

[LoneStarPhan]

Batter after the home run doubles sharply to left. Hale being lifted after 3.1 IP.

Nice outing for Hale who probably just reached the limit and had become ineffective in the fourth.

Jojo is on with runner on second, one out.

Is Amaro any good?

The implosion has begun.

[LoneStarPhan]

Is Amaro any good?

I'm not listening to the feed tonight but though he was okay the few times I have listened in the past.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Just tuned in. Glad to see the good mojo continuing in game #2.

Gosh, maybe I need to tune back out.

[Patchmk88]

Team just can’t get it done. Sad sad sad.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies going back to the pen to try to get the top of the 4th over.

David Phelps the new pitcher.

[zambonir]

I may have misheard, but I don't know who it is.

Or I guess it is him, I just heard McCarthy say "Craig" but he maybe said "Gregg," for Murphy, who is doing his usual role.

Every reliever is gonna have three or four bad games in a season with 40 appearances. Ours are just having five or six in 10 appearance. But hopefully in JoJo's case it's just a bad day.

It was Ruben in game 1. Not awful but pretty conventional in his commentary.
