GDT 6/6/21 Washington Nationals (TBD) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez)

[BostonRoss]

He did his job, he got the run home​.

[LoneStarPhan]

He did his job, he got the run home​.

Yes, but striking out swinging at a wild pitch really doesn't qualify as a good at bat.

[bkeich]

Lol, I can’t say anything correctly today. Yes, Joyce. My Wife is going to take me in for neurological testing if I keep this up

[BostonRoss]

And you are younger than many of us!

[bkox]

Lol, I can’t say anything correctly today. Yes, Joyce. My Wife is going to take me in for neurological testing if I keep this up

We are all Phillies phans.. Chalk any neurological issues up to PTSD.

[zambonir]

I'd say this is a good inning

[LoneStarPhan]

Just hope we can find a couple pitchers in the bullpen that can close this game out.

[BostonRoss]

He did his job, he got the run home​.

Yes, but striking out swinging at a wild pitch really doesn't qualify as a good at bat.

I was joking, of course, though I guess it was better than popping up!

[bkox]

2 hours and 10 mins and we are only in the bottom of the 4th..

[bkeich]

Finally hit a ball more than 100 feet (actually so did McCutcheon earlier, but still a weird big inning)

[bkeich]

Don’t see that box score often.

3 (consecutive) players on the Phillies have scored a run and have an RBI but no hit.

[BostonRoss]

Well, that was fun, but this game is not going to end up with a 7-3 score. C’mon, bullpen!

[LoneStarPhan]

Actually Joyce swinging may have caused the catcher to miss that pitch and let it go for the wild pitch.

A fun inning but we need to get good pitching from the pen to hold this lead.

[kikutaro]

Juan Soto

Pitching Change: Archie Bradley replaces Vince Velasquez, batting 9th.
Called strike (92. mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (86. mph changeup)

Foul (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (85.4 mph changeup)
Ball (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Juan Soto walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Get a nice lead and the one thing you do not want your relievers to do is walk the first batter up in this inning.

Terrible start of the inning from Bradley. Time for him to actually earn his salary.

[kikutaro]

Josh Bell

Foul (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (84.5 mph changeup)

[LoneStarPhan]

GET BRADLEY OUT OF THERE. NOW, please.
