GDT 8/26/18 Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez) @ Toronto Blue Jays (Estrada)

[EDmuch]

For the love of Ty Cobb, the Blue Jays are loaded with infield prospects. Solarte, Diaz and Gurriell in MLB already with Guerrero, Bichette and Biggio in the minors. Plus they still have Tulowitsky (sp?) under contract. I could see Phils talking to Jays about Tulo if they lose out on Machado. I know, AF, I know, Tulo is old.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies get two baserunners in the seventh, but fail to score. Two more hits.

Inability to add insurance runs follows pattern we have seen of late.

Gurriel Jr.

Called strike (96.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (85.3 mph splitter)
Foul tip (86.4 mph splitter)

[LoneStarPhan]

Way to go.

Fourth hit today for Ramos.

[EDmuch]

Boy do they need to make sure to re-sign Ramos. A catcher as your cleanup hitter ?? Very nice.

[andyb]

Nice, short, compact swing. A month of watching Ramos go about his business will be good for Alfaro who really needs to shorten his swing.

Six run lead so of course the veteran reliever walks the first hitter he faces.

Sorry, that is not good enough. Should never have gone to a full count.
