GDT 4/3/19 Philadelphia Phillies (Nola) @ Washington Nationals (Sánchez, An)

[LoneStarPhan]

Another pitching change for the Nationals. Barraclough comes in to face McCutchen.

Phillies take a pair of walks to load bases with one out. Time to cash in some runs.

[LoneStarPhan]

2-1 pitch inside but called a strike.

[EastFallowfield]

CUTCH!

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Great slide by Kingery to avoid the tag!

[LoneStarPhan]

Looks like replay time. Kingery may be out. Probably not a good call to send him.

[donaldorc]

MAN! Ya gotta believe!

[LoneStarPhan]

Wow. Kingery just avoided being grazed by the glove/ball a couple times as he somehow went over and in to touch the plate. Just amazing.

Kyle Barraclough intentionally walks Bryce Harper.

[zambonir]

I hope that was sarcasm.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Great read by McC(l)utchen to score on that looper to LF.

[andyb]

Harper sure gets walked a lot for all the people that complained about how mediocre his batting average was last year (poor BABIP).

[kikutaro]

Hoskins

Foul (92.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (81.1 mph slider)
Foul (92.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (81.8 mph slider)
Foul (81.2 mph slider)
In play, out(s) (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Rhys Hoskins pops out to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the infield fly rule.

[zambonir]

I'd sure like to see Rhys do more damage but that .181 BA with the >1,000 OPS is okay too.

[LoneStarPhan]

Another pop up from the bat of Hoskins. Rhys needs to relax and join the hit parade. Infield fly rule called, two outs.

[Lawman]

Wonder if his shoulder is still bothering him.

Over time walking Harper to get to Hoskins will not be a good strategy. I do wonder if they will experiment with ways to get Williams in the lineup to potentially go LRLR in the 3-6 spots. Probably would sub for Herrera, so somebody out of Cutch and Williams and Harper would have to play CF, but it might be worth it against some pitching matchups.
