[tom81]

Which Kevin is doing the radio tonight? He is by far my least favorite.

[LoneStarPhan]

In the first inning, Velasquez started off with a strike out and then the next four hitters hit ground balls. The Braves get two runs as the Phillies continue to show that they are not only not a good fielding team, they are a very bad fielding team. Add in mental mistakes and it becomes difficult to be a winner.

[Patchmk88]

Good inning. I’m not sure I agree with Altherr is starting against the RHP instead of Williams. I understand you want the better outfield defense but I would think Williams is such a better hitter against RHP that it wouldn’t matter.

In play, out(s) (88.8 mph two-seam fastball)
