[EastFallowfield]

Utley batting 6th.

[andyb]

When Utley started the first game it really looked like they were trying to get him 2 starts in the series.

[EastFallowfield]

Phils going with the 3 man bench today.

[andyb]

Probably makes sense to have an extra reliever that can throw a lot of innings on the roster for the next 2 days, especially not knowing what we will get with Suarez.

Our starters can't seem to get out of the first inning.

And the catchers are not helping.

[Patchmk88]

Knapp is one of the worst defensive catchers I have ever seen. Can’t catch or throw.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Sloppy inning. I guess you can partially blame the late night last night, but an all too common occurrence for the Phillies.

[donaldorc]

They always seem to be sloppier with Arrieta on the mound.

[LoneStarPhan]

Unearned run puts Phillies down a run in the first. Knapp with two errors in the first inning.

Shoddy catching has been and is a problem that they have to address this off season. I don’t know the answer to this problem.

Let’s hope we generate some offense today. I really want a series win. Both teams played 16 innings last game.

[EastFallowfield]

Knapp got one AB last night early on, they shoulda sent him home to rest up.
