His babip is still stupidly low. He will be fine. The fact that his OBP is so close to 300 despite not hitting shows how good a player he is.

While this is true, it doesn't diminish my disappointment with the results. I sure hope things even out and he goes into a really hot spell soon. I expect his numbers will improve but until they do, I will remain disappointed.

[LoneStarPhan]

Wondering if I missed something since I'm following without sound. Why pinch hit for Crawford? Seems foolish to me for two reasons. First, Crawford needs to play and it was not a critical situation with the game on the line. Second, do we expect Florimon to do better than Crawford? They also burn half the bench in the fifth inning. Doesn't seem sound to me.

[el-pietro]

I think the tv guys were asking the same. I wasn't paying full attention. Possibly injured?

[LoneStarPhan]

Ramos pitching for the Phillies in the sixth.

Not a great start for Pivetta tonight, 4 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks. He did have 6 Ks and gave up one home run.

[kikutaro]

I think the tv guys were asking the same. I wasn't paying full attention. Possibly injured?

I'm fine with it if there is a reason such as being banged up or whatever, but just to make the move if Crawford is okay seems foolish to me. We will probably see more on the move.

Ball (94.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball in dirt (84.8 mph changeup)
