[Patchmk88]

Totally agree. Valentin is just dreadful.

[LoneStarPhan]

The bench is a weekness but I think a four man bench is just plain inadequate.

[Lucky_Beagle]

checking out for awhile, guess I will read about the results in a couple of hours, not feeling confident after the wasted opportunities

[zambonir]

Valentin is a rookie utility guy who isn't really supposed to hit. We've been spoiled by Florimon (and before that Blanco). But it's true that with a four-man bench, carrying that all-glove guy seems less viable. If there are no trades and he stays after Crawford comes back that will only be because Cozens isn't that great either.

[kikutaro]

Hoskins

Pitching Change: Jeurys Familia replaces Robert Gsellman, batting 7th.
Ball (87.7 mph slider)
Ball (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (96.0 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (96.4 mph sinker)

Rhys Hoskins pops out to second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera.

[kikutaro]

Herrera

In play, out(s) (97.3 mph four-seam fastball)

Odubel Herrera pops out to shortstop Amed Rosario.

[LoneStarPhan]

Altherr has had some big hits but overall, his numbers are not good either.

[donaldorc]

Just what we need. Extra innings and a double header.

[LoneStarPhan]

Good two innings from SD. He had 1-2-3 ninth.

Phillies really need to score here. Tonight is not the night for multiple extra innings.

[LoneStarPhan]

Why bunt if you get a force out at third.

Was Franco’s fly deep enough to score a runner from third?

[Patchmk88]

Yes it was. We have wasted too many opportunities this game. Really disappointing.

[LoneStarPhan]

So frustraing! First two on base in tenth and leave them on first and second.

Phillies do have little threat from the bench. Knapp failed bunt killed the inning.

[zambonir]

One way or another this game should have definitely ended. Lots of times.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

And that’s all. PH homer by Flores to end it.

[Patchmk88]

Well we can’t beat the damn Mets even when they try to hand it to us. Disappointing loss!
