[Patchmk88]

We win but I have no idea why Neris is throwing a fast ball with two strikes to multiple different batters.

I look forward to seeing the MLB video of that play. Sounded exciting on radio! Nice win Phils

[BostonRoss]

Great pitching all around on a day when the bats were relatively quiet.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies handled things in the field very well after that lead off double. Well played.

Nice save for Neris. Solid start and win for Nola. Kudos also to Morin for closing out the 8th.

Good offense in the first inning but a pathetic performance after that. Phillies win thanks to some great pitching tonight. The offense needs to get going and continue to show more consistency.

But it is a win. Good start for this road trip but they need to keep winning.

[DurhamBull]

Nice win!

Why does the Bosox SS have the highest OPS in their lineup? Nobody on the Phils has an OPS like that...

[BostonRoss]

I found that game very enjoyable to watch. I had the Red Sox TV feed since MLB TV is blacked out here for these games. While I am not as down on the Phillies TV broadcast team as some, the Red Sox team is very good. They're rooting for the Red Sox, of course, but they're not blatant homers. Dave O'Brien is a smooth old school professional who knows the game, and Jerry Remy is one of the best color commentators anywhere. He has some amazing insights. Tonight he was noting how even if a hitter isn't able to look back at the catcher to see where he's setting up, at Fenway he can see the catchers shadow due to the light tower placement. Remy also was knowledgeable about the Phillies, including Nola and Neris.

Tomorrow I won't get to watch it on TV because I'll be at the game! Look for me in my McCutchen jersey near the right field foul pole (the "Pesky Pole").
