GDT 7/24/18 Los Angeles Dodgers (Maeda) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola)

[bkeich]

That was a truly wicked inning by Garcia. His slider was laughably unhittable, you don't see guys that overmatched too often.

Easy to forget just how good his stuff is

[Patchmk88]

Ok heart of the order to get us a run. Lets do it!

[bkeich]

Sadly our pitcher hits 4th, so if we get a runner on you can count on a walk to Santana

[Patchmk88]

We took Franco out?

[LoneStarPhan]

Need a smart Herrera at bat.

[Patchmk88]

Why the hell would you take your hottest hitter out of the game?

[DurhamBull]

Dang, these west coast games run late.

[Patchmk88]

Still can't believe you take your hottest hitter out of a tie ballgame.

[zambonir]

You guys love to be miserable, I think this game is fun. Both bullpens are great. Garcia has had a great season. The bench is terrible because Florimon and Crawford are hurt (pushing Valentin to the bench and Kingery to the starting line-up) and Altherr got replaced by Williams. And yet here we are in first place playing last year's World Series NL team in extras.

[LoneStarPhan]

I'm still scratching my head at Kapler taking Franco out of the game and playing Plouffe at third base. Sure failed miserable so far. Franco may well have made an out in that last inning, but I sure would have liked to see him get a shot.

As zambonir noted, this is some game.

[Jeff05]

It'll have been fun after the win.
