GDT 5/11/21 Philadelphia Phillies (Anderson, Ch) @ Washington Nationals (Fedde)

[bkeich]

Still below the Mendoza line, but Herrera is clearly making a claim on the CF job that do many have tried so hard to avoid winning.

No protests that he is playing. No news stories on how horrible a human being he is. No backlash. Maybe the Phils management was a little too cautious with this (not to minimize what he did, but maybe he really did deserve another chance)

[LoneStarPhan]

I support Herrera getting a second chance. Nobody is perfect and we should not excuse the behavior, but he paid a hefty price with the suspension and evidently has shown growth through the various steps in the required rehabilitation imposed by MLB.

Philadelphia Phillies 3 - Washington Nationals 2

[zambonir]

Well, we can't know what would have happened if he had made the Opening Day roster in a normal season. Right or wrong, intentional or not, everything worked out rather well in terms of getting people used to the idea that he would play again. But it also wasn't wrong for Haseley and Joyce to beat him out, and to not use a 40-man spot on him at that time. It was obviously wrong to try Kingery first. (Edit: meant Moniak)

As Kruk said tonight, letting Anderson bat now looks dumb, he didn't get another out, allowed a run, and didn't help them score one.

(And now it's two earned runs.)

[LoneStarPhan]

Hard to disagree that a pinch hitter for Anderson last inning would have been a smart move.

[kikutaro]

Yan Gomes

Ball (99. mph sinker)
Ball (98.1 mph sinker)
Ball (97.6 mph sinker)
Called strike (97.3 mph sinker)

Phillies did get a couple runners on but again, left them there.

I hope the bullpen has a good night in them and can hold this slim lead.

[zambonir]

We're a home run team that doesn't hit enough home runs.

Just when you thought it might be a clean and easy inning.

Alvarado comes in. Double switch time. Bohm in and Miller also out.
