[zambonir]

No telling (I hope) what happens in this game where the Phillies did in fact score first.

Once again we take an early lead. Is there even a 10% chance that they can win?

The Phillies are actually 8-10 in games they've led after 1 inning, which, y'know, could be better, could be worse. Look at our record in the 7th through 9th inning and the bullpen hasn't blown nearly as many games as you'd think either. Trailing by the 4th, 5th and 6th inning is a far bigger problem, whether it's been the starters or the relievers (and it's safe to say it's been mostly the relievers in the 7th). Runs are runs, and win probability as games get later is still a real thing even when you have Brandon Workman on the mound.

[LoneStarPhan]

Only the second hit given up by Eflin and in spite of my comments earlier, he has only walked two as well. Two of the four were erased by double plays.

Just like losing after taking a nice, early lead, perception is not always reality.

For now, let's nail this game down as a win.

While I hope it is not important, it really pains me to see Quinn take that called third strike.
