GDT 8/26/19 Pittsburgh Pirates (Musgrove) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Vargas)

[LoneStarPhan]

Let's hope Neris can nail it down.

Great rebound thanks to the 2 home runs, but that doesn't negate the moves made by Kapler tonight. I struggle to understand his batting order and struggle to understand most of his in game moves.

[bkeich]

We have 1 real pitcher who has an ERA under 3.00

He was used for 1 pitch.

When was the last time the Phillies scored a run and did not immediately give up a run the next half inning?

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Ugh. Split left up too high in the strike zone (to Bell).

Typical Kapler and Rodriguez can always pitch.

[LoneStarPhan]

It’s interesting that the Pirates chose to trade Dickerson instead of Melky Cabrera. Maybe Dickerson makes more money?

!!!

Dickerson making over $7 million more this season.
