GDT 7/23/18 Los Angeles Dodgers (Stripling) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Eflin)

[LoneStarPhan]

Walding pinch hitting.

0 for 12 with a couple walks.

Strikes out again.

Now 0 for 13.

Strike out #10 for Mitch, I believe.

I have to believe he is optioned out as soon as anyone becomes available for the bench.

[LoneStarPhan]

Carlos badly fooled by the knuckle curve and reaches for that one, outside and falling into the dirt.
Another missed RISP chance.

[LoneStarPhan]

Rhys does not fail to convert in the RISP at bat.

Really good to see Rhys getting the long ones after the break.

[EastFallowfield]

Seems like the Home Run Derby got Hoskins going again.

[LoneStarPhan]

Seems like the Home Run Derby got Hoskins going again.

It sure does. We have seen so much talk about swings being messed up by the Home Run Derby, but for Hoskins, he seems to have regained his stroke.

And how about Herrera!!!!!

[Jeff05]

Love the celebratory effects, LSP!

[LoneStarPhan]

Again, we see Kingery take a called strike right in the middle of the strike zone, then check swing at the 2-1 pitch, well out of the strike zone, but he is called for a swing. Might argue he checked, but the strike was rung up. Then he takes another called strike and doesn't even move the bat. He seems to swing at the bad pitches and take those in the strike zone. He is seriously messed up at the plate.
