GDT 8/3/18 Miami Marlins (Richards) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Velasquez)

[Lucky_Beagle]

so a poor defensive play leads to the removal of the starting pitcher who was cruising along, which leads to the LOGGY not doing a productive job, which causes another call to the pen

[LoneStarPhan]

Well that flopped brilliantly.

Loup now leaving the game.

Velasquez pitch count was only 85. Velasquez had retired Bour twice.
I think Kapler moved too quickly on this change, but of course, it is always easy looking back.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Clutch strike out by Arano!

[zambonir]

Didn't we just read that they are deliberately keeping the pitch counts under 95 for the young pitchers?

Amazing, historic first appearance by Loup though. L0OGY

Arano gets the job done and looks very good doing it.
Not going to third on the ball to Kingery made the inning much more difficult, but in the end, it worked out okay.

Let's hope we remember the HBP in Loup's first outing because he goes on and is lights out shut down great from here on through the season and post season.

I don't disagree that keeping pitch counts for the starters on the conservative side is a good idea as we move into the last months of a long season with the hopes of post season play looming for October.

[EDmuch]

Watching Scott Kingery strike out (again) is becoming one of the most boring activities of this summer.
