[LoneStarPhan]

Okay, that's more like it. Phillies take game 2 to even the series. Good pitching and good offense wins most every time.

[phillychuck]

Found the right role for Nicasio, finally--multi-inning reliever in blowouts.

[LoneStarPhan]

To be fair, Nicasio did well tonight. He must have shown some promise in the past since it seemed that multiple teams over the past couple years have taken a chance on him. Of course, teams also let him go but we can hope he put things together and provides some solid innings out of the pen this year.

[zambonir]

I mean, Nicasio was supposed to be the 7th or 8th-best reliever to begin with, despite his late-inning salary. But no Arano (then or now), no Hunter, no Robertson, and suddenly he (and Ramos) are in meaningful games. There wasn't even supposed to be room for a mop-up guy (the Anderson/De Los Santos spot), Arano was supposed to have that sole optionable spot, but now that they have injuries they have more of them.

Supposedly he had great peripherals last year but I still think the Phillies just took him because it made the Santana money work. Fungible is fungible, if you can afford it.
