Gotta score 7 or 8 to win tonight I'd think. Hope Walker can eat some innings; if not, we are sort of short in the 'pen.

Not a good omen that Merrifield is playing if we need offense.

[zambonir]

It's an odd line-up. Kind of a Sunday day game line-up (which it was) and I assume Merrifield must have career success against Lynn.

It may not be pretty but Walker does usually give them length. And they've still got Strahm Hoffman Alvarado plus the short guys from yesterday could all go again (but then would be down tomorrow).

Would be nice to get the home sweep after the disappointing road trip and tougher stretch ahead.

[VoteForKalas]

Yes, 6-9 is pretty weak. Hopefully, the top can deliver some runs and Walker can have a good outing. Keep the ball down in the zone and throw strikes, please.

[andyb]

I think this is the manager getting Merrifield in the lineup for a game. Stubbs could be just to get a little extra rest for JT's knee. Bench players may not be needed too much in London so there could be some long gaps in playing time. Assume the other bats including JT are available to pinch hit tonight.

[VoteForKalas]

I believe if the Phillies win tonight, it would the best 60 game start since 1900.

[zambonir]

Of course our back-up catcher is now a positive WAR player (0.1) with a 1.100 OPS in the last 7 days (which is of course just one game, but he's batting .333/.718 OPS over his last three starts/14 days).

[zambonir]

Ah-ha

Kody Clemens has been scratched with back spasms.

The Whit Merrifield experience is coming to Sunday Night Baseball.
