Pickoff Attempt 1B
Swinging strike (96.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Jesmuel Valentin strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

Is there a good reason for Valentin to be in this game? Did I miss Franco getting hurt?

Why not a sacrifice bunt to move the runner to second?

Just my thoughts as I watch Valentin K again.

[zambonir]

Monday's doubleheader might be shorter than this game.

Philadelphia Phillies 9 - Pittsburgh Pirates 4

[LoneStarPhan]

Nice to see Herrera back on the positive side.

A couple base hits make the "not moving the runner" by Valentin a moot point.

Let's add a couple more runs here.

LHP Josh Smoker coming in to relieve what's his name (Neverauskas).

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Odubel getting his groove back? Hope so - he’s hit some balls really hard tonight.

I wonder if we’ll set the record for double switches in a game tonight.

[kikutaro]

Santana

Mound Visit.
Defensive Substitution: David Freese replaces pitcher Dovydas Neverauskas, batting 8th, playing third base.
Pitching Change: Josh Smoker replaces Dovydas Neverauskas, batting 4th.
In play, run(s) (93.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Carlos Santana doubles (17) on a line drive to right fielder Gregory Polanco. Rhys Hoskins scores. Odubel Herrera scores.

Philadelphia Phillies 11 - Pittsburgh Pirates 4

[LoneStarPhan]

Santana smokes Smoker's first pitch.

[zambonir]

Well, the bullpen usage should change considerably now.

Brewers up 5-4 on Braves in the 7th. (Too early?)

[kikutaro]

Cozens

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Dylan Cozens replaces Tommy Hunter.

Ball (94.3 mph four-seam fastball)

[LoneStarPhan]

I wonder if they considered letting Hunter bat and pitch a second inning?

If the Phillies lose this game, I'll walk home!
