Morgan can throw strikes to the opposing pitcher.

I do not understand why Velasquez had a problem throwing strikes to Eovaldi. I don't think he is a good hitter. Velasquez handed the Red Sox 3 runs tonight, and it all started with 3 balls to start the at bat of Eovaldi with one out in the 3rd inning.

It was great to see the Phillies come back to tie the game up. Kudos to Ramos for the key double and Santana for the RBI hit to score the 3rd run.

I really find it hard to get used to seeing what have been routine outs for the past sixty years going for easy base hits of late. Have to hand it to the players who can adapt and take what is handed to them.

Tommy Hunter into the game to try to get the third out here.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-16 01:23:16 UTC #72

Fielding failures again give the lead to the Red Sox.

Replay saves the day.

Maybe not. The replay shows that Bour’s foot was on the bag.

Lucky there is replay. It really has helped the Phillies this season.

On first view, it really looked like the throw drew him off the bag, but Bour had the ball and his toe scrapped across the bag. Good call. Game stays 3-3.

EDmuch 2018-08-16 01:28:18 UTC #77

You know Bour is close to the same age as a lot of our core. And maybe he fits in better than Santana for the next stage of the franchise's development. Heck of a defensive play by Bour.

DurhamBull 2018-08-16 01:29:14 UTC #78

Sounded like Hernandez make a great play to get the ball to Bour, too.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-16 01:29:54 UTC #79

It really was a great play by Bour and his height helped him reach the ball while still in contact with the base.

I really hope he is retained for next season regardless of what they may or may not do with Santana.
