[HopeSpringsEternal]

My mistake! I thought yesterday was his 2-inning save.

[LoneStarPhan]

Neris was all set for the save in the bottom of the ninth.

[kikutaro]

Harper

Defensive Substitution: Willson Contreras replaces pitcher Brad Brach, batting 9th, playing catcher.
Pitching Change: Kyle Ryan replaces Brad Brach, batting 4th, replacing catcher Victor Caratini.
Foul (89. mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (80.6 mph curveball)
281 ft fly ball (exit speed: 91 mph, launch angle: 49°)

Bryce Harper flies out to center fielder Albert Almora.

[bkeich]

Neris got lucky. Absolutely grooved a pitch with an 0-2 count right down the middle of the plate, luckily it was fouled off.

Now we have to wonder if he comes out for another inning. Neris never seems to do well in 2nd innings from my (didn’t look it up) memory.

I wonder if Neshek is available

[LoneStarPhan]

Neshek was warming up earlier in the 8th inning.

[bkeich]

Yes, but the announcers speculated that maybe he couldn’t get warm when he didn’t come in.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Neshek is a big question mark in back to back games.

[kikutaro]

Hoskins

Ball (79.5 mph curveball)
Called strike (85.8 mph cutter)
Called strike (86.9 mph cutter)
Foul (90.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (81.5 mph curveball)
In play, out(s) (87.6 mph cutter)
341 ft fly ball (exit speed: 97 mph, launch angle: 37°)

Rhys Hoskins flies out to right fielder Jason Heyward.

[LoneStarPhan]

That fly out would have looked nice back when he K'd with a runner on third and one out.

[kikutaro]

Realmuto

Called strike (88.8 mph sinker)
Ball (89.7 mph sinker)
Called strike (86.8 mph cutter)
In play, run(s) (89. mph four-seam fastball)
377 ft fly ball (exit speed: 97 mph, launch angle: 29°)

J.T. Realmuto homers (6) on a fly ball to left center field.

Philadelphia Phillies 5 - Chicago Cubs 4

[LoneStarPhan]

Is one run enough? It could be.

Who pitches now for the Phillies?

[kikutaro]

Hernández, C

Ball (86.4 mph cutter)
In play, out(s) (90.5 mph four-seam fastball)
6 ft ground ball (exit speed: 61 mph, launch angle: -18°)

Cesar Hernandez grounds out, shortstop Addison Russell to first baseman Anthony Rizzo.

[Patchmk88]

Let’s end this boys!

[bkeich]

We really don’t have a closer. I am starting to wonder if every reliever will get a save.

[kikutaro]

Heyward

Pitching Change: Adam Morgan replaces Hector Neris, batting 9th, replacing pitcher Hector Neris.
Called strike (81. mph slider)
Called strike (80.1 mph slider)
Ball (81.5 mph slider)
Swinging strike (82.6 mph slider)

Jason Heyward strikes out swinging.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I’d be OK with that if everyone is successful when called upon to close. Not sure it works too well, though.

[LoneStarPhan]

Now Gabe is out taking out his most effective reliever this season who just got a K to start the inning.

Yet he left Dominguez out there after he walked two in his second inning of work.

I hope this works out but regardless, this game shows us some weaknesses this team has.

[kikutaro]

Almora Jr.

Mound Visit.
Defensive Substitution: Sean Rodriguez replaces pitcher Adam Morgan, batting 9th, playing second base.
Pitching Change: Juan Nicasio replaces Adam Morgan, batting 6th, replacing second baseman Cesar Hernandez.
Called strike (85. mph slider)
Ball (84.9 mph slider)
In play, no out (94.5 mph four-seam fastball)
291 ft line drive (exit speed: 91 mph, launch angle: 10°)

Albert Almora singles on a line drive to center fielder Odubel Herrera.

[Patchmk88]

The weakness is the clown we have managing. Guy has no clue.
