[Lucky_Beagle]

Maybe the Phillies should have out bid the Nats for KC's closer

[EDmuch]

Oh please, not Morgan.

I was wondering why they replaced Ramos after only 9 pitches.

Philadelphia Phillies 4 - St. Louis Cardinals 3

[LoneStarPhan]

And a run scores as the batter K's and reaches first.

Sloppy play strikes over and over with this team.

[EastFallowfield]

Arano Ks 3, But no save.

[EDmuch]

Wild pitch, of course. And Adam Morgan enters the game .......

[EastFallowfield]

Who's due up in the bottom of the 10th inning? Smells like a walkoff.

[Patchmk88]

Knapp has to do a better job blocking that ball. We need to find ourselves a better backup catcher.

[LoneStarPhan]

The bullpen needed 5 outs and they get 5 strikeouts and it still is not enough.
I agree that Knapp has to get that ball knocked down. I thought he was going to block it but it just went by.

[EDmuch]

This is truly agony.
