What is that going to do?

[Philsmania]

The bullpen sharing the failure. Our best have been called on to pitch too often.

When your bullpen is only two deep....

Alvarado and Dominguez are TOAST.

[Dirk41]

3 runs is not insurmountable. But need to do like the Astros and get on by any means necessary.

Before the 6th inning, Framber Valdez and Jose Alvarado had faced 246 LH hitters combined this year.
