Jeff05 2018-06-29 02:01:52 UTC #103

In other words, too many. Gotta look to improve the pen, not ruin our starters.

LoneStarPhan 2018-06-29 02:02:23 UTC #104

Looked like a hit off the bat but a great play by Difo to spear the liner. Franco looking good at the bat tonight.

Wonder how many runs the Phillies lost by batting Kingery before Franco tonight?

I also think Nola may have been better served if he were pulled after 7 innings. OTOH, he probably will be fine and had he had a clean inning, it would have been a reasonable pitch total.

tough statement to make when it took about 15 of those pitches on the last batter he faced. Did you want them to pull him mid batter?

LoneStarPhan 2018-06-29 02:05:00 UTC #108

Tommy Hunter coming in to pitch for the Phillies.

kikutaro 2018-06-29 02:07:32 UTC #109

Jeff05 2018-06-29 02:08:15 UTC #110

I wanted him pulled after seven, Lucky_Beagle.

EastFallowfield 2018-06-29 02:08:16 UTC #111

He gets an extra day rest before next start.

LoneStarPhan 2018-06-29 02:08:43 UTC #113

CHANGE PITCHERS NOW. Please!

Lucky_Beagle 2018-06-29 02:10:57 UTC #114

It is truly unbelievable that the bullpen can't seem to get through a game with out it seeming like they are trying to lose it.

kikutaro 2018-06-29 02:11:01 UTC #115

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Adam Eaton replaces Pedro Severino.

Adam Eaton grounds out to first baseman Carlos Santana. Michael A. Taylor to 3rd.

EastFallowfield 2018-06-29 02:12:52 UTC #116

Time for a lot of talk about sunk costs and Hunter.

LoneStarPhan 2018-06-29 02:13:24 UTC #117

Another failed outing for Hunter.

Dominguez coming in. Kapler again bordering on over using the one reliever he seems to trust.

EDmuch 2018-06-29 02:13:28 UTC #118

It seems Kafkaesque how even decent relievers turn to jelly when they r added to our pen.

EastFallowfield 2018-06-29 02:14:21 UTC #119

If we believe in stats Seranthony should not be pitching tonight

Jeff05 2018-06-29 02:15:23 UTC #120

Thanks for the info, EastFallowfield. Pitchers have thrown many more innings on less rest; but in the little time that I've followed the game (compared to everyone here), it seems that the form of pitchers declines after long outings.
