Framber should thank his lucky stars he's not playing at the Bank.

[el-pietro]

.... that was agonising. The way Alvarez was moving I was convinced he didnt have it.

[Patchmk88]

Man we just can’t catch a break the last few games.

[LoneStarPhan]

The park gets bigger to left center. So far, Phillies have 2 reach base in each inning. But no runs.

[el-pietro]

99MPH that first pitch

[kikutaro]

Alex Bregman

Called strike (98.7 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (98. mph sinker)

Alex Bregman grounds out, shortstop Edmundo Sosa to first baseman Rhys Hoskins.

[bkeich]

So,you guys don't know me, but I have lived in 20 states and 5 countries. That said the WORST place I have lived is Houston. I hated that town.
That said, if my Phillies were to lose a WS, which I hope they don't, I would be glad it was to Dusty Baker.

Dusty is NOT a good manager. He is not good at game time decisions and he is horrible with pitching staffs, but that said, he truly changed the game as a black manager. He is important.

Wheeler looking good. He just has to not hit the leadoff batter and let the wheels fall off. Fortunately, he's a small target.

[EDmuch]

Frustrating to watch.

[Dirk41]

Are these pitches hittable? They seem to be right down the middle

[LoneStarPhan]

Two called third strikes and one swinging. Hope Valdez is not now going to sail through the next several innings without baserunners.
