[LoneStarPhan]

All five pitches to Knapp were balls but he swung at three of them.

Take the walk, get an RBI.

[BostonRoss]

Yeah, no reason for him to have been swinging there. Is the take sign still a thing?

Phillies bullpen doesn't seem so bad after all

Poor relief pitching and a key error by the third baseman. Funny thing is, it wasn’t the Phillies.

I am used to seeing this kind of bullpen performance, but I am much happier about it tonight!

Kintzler?

If the Phillies hold on, they will have a 4-1 record in games started by Matt Moore.

Poor relief pitching and a key error by the third baseman. Funny thing is, it wasn’t the Phillies.

Yes, it appears that the Phillies are not the only team with these problems. I was about to lament having the bases loaded with no outs and only getting one run, but shoddy fielding saved the day, this time for the Phillies.

Surely the bullpen can get six outs without giving up multiple runs.

[kikutaro]

Philadelphia Phillies 10 - Chicago Cubs 3

[LoneStarPhan]

So after two easy outs, why start off by falling behind in the count? I really don't mind giving up a home run, but I do when he falls behind in the count, 3-1.

Such potential. Can he ever develop the command to be a great releiver?
