Disappointing to only get two but much better than nothing. Shut down inning time.

4 walks and an "error" give the Phillies 2 runs... batters (and runner, Bohm) do their best to not score

I hate when you say that (because it so rarely happens!)

Four innings is still a lot.

I know it sounds crazy, but yea, I would send out Walker for 4 innings. It would give us a huge advantage in game 5, almost insurmountable. I know Rob will not.

zambonir 2023-10-21 02:19:53 UTC #166

Pretty sure Walker can't throw 99. Of course these guys who throw 99 walk people too.

zambonir 2023-10-21 02:20:41 UTC #167

It wouldn't be insurmountable after Walker gives up eight runs (which is what his ERA says he'd do in four innings).

kikutaro 2023-10-21 02:21:01 UTC #168

Christian Walker

Swinging strike (99. mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (98.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (98.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Christian Walker strikes out swinging.

LoneStarPhan 2023-10-21 02:21:22 UTC #169

Any pitcher who doesn't start off with a walk would be an improvement.

Brashin 2023-10-21 02:21:46 UTC #170

I know right, it seems like an automatic anymore from anyone coming out of the pen

kikutaro 2023-10-21 02:22:00 UTC #171

Pavin Smith

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Pavin Smith replaces Tommy Pham.
Called strike (98.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (98.9 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (89.2 mph slider)

Pavin Smith singles on a ground ball to right fielder Nick Castellanos. Gabriel Moreno to 2nd.

bkeich 2023-10-21 02:22:44 UTC #172

Well, he has been much better than that all season. Yea, I know it is a risk, but assuming he can pitch “reasonably” the move would end the series in 5 games.

MichaelJackSchmidt 2023-10-21 02:23:10 UTC #173

Pavin Smith is the new Greg Gross.

God no

Patchmk88 2023-10-21 02:23:31 UTC #175

The damn walk is going to come back and get us

EDmuch 2023-10-21 02:23:42 UTC #176

I am soooooo sick of Siranthony

zambonir 2023-10-21 02:24:35 UTC #177

Just wait 'til we have to see Soto. Or Kimbrel again. They got who they got.

kikutaro 2023-10-21 02:25:31 UTC #178

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Mound Visit.
Ball (91.6 mph slider)

Foul tip (98. mph four-seam fastball)
Batter Timeout.
Ball (98. mph sinker)
Called strike (98.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (98.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. called out on strikes.

zambonir 2023-10-21 02:25:36 UTC #179

I am starting to see the argument for Walker or Lorenzen merely because somebody has to soak up an inning. But outs would also be required.

Seranthony was so good last round.

Lucky_Beagle 2023-10-21 02:25:53 UTC #180

0-2 late on fast ball, so through a slower pitch and speed up his bat.... who calls the pitch?
