GDT 9/5/19 Philadelphia Phillies (Vargas) @ Cincinnati Reds (Gray, S)

[Patchmk88]

I’m not saying they aren’t better, but when you throw them out there everyday the combination of tired arm, opponent seeing them multiple days in a row, etc. probably leads to using a lesser quality guy that doesn’t have these constraints.

Adam Haseley singles on a sharp line drive

Haseley starting to get in a groove. Need to score some more this inning

[zambonir]

I would agree Gabe is using them in tighter spots than I would like but that doesn't mean I'd want to see Davis or Pivetta or Garcia either.

Well, bullpens, they all stink fortunately.

This team's been toast for several weeks - arguably even since the trade deadline - as far as any serious playoff probability, but certainly time and opportunities are dwindling further. If form holds they won't win the series in Queens either and could be 5 out by then.

But, today's not over at least.

Needed a big hit

[EDmuch]

7th inning, one out. Tying and go ahead runs on base. Logan Morrison and Jay Bruce available to pinch hit. And you send out Brad Miller ???? Man, I just don't know about that decision.

[kikutaro]

Casali

Pitching Change: Nick Pivetta replaces Jared Hughes, batting 9th.
Ball (81.2 mph knuckle curve)
Called strike (95.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (79.9 mph knuckle curve)
Foul tip (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Curt Casali strikes out on a foul tip.

[LoneStarPhan]

Dickerson hit the ball but right at someone. Tough to leave runners on second and third.

Kapler seems to fail to comprehend that Vargas can give you a very good 5 innings but will end up giving up multiple runs if you push him much past that.

[kikutaro]

Lorenzen

Ball (96.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (80.9 mph knuckle curve)
Swinging strike (97.2 mph four-seam fastball)

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Turns out that Peraza is out at second after replay review!

[EDmuch]

IN a one run game, Kap leaves Irvin of all people in there and, thanks to Realmuto's throw, Irvin escapes.

[kikutaro]

Realmuto

Jose Peraza remains in the game as the second baseman.
Pitching Change: Robert Stephenson replaces Kevin Gausman, batting 1st, replacing second baseman Alex Blandino.
Ball (86.3 mph slider)
Swinging strike (86.3 mph slider)
In play, run(s) (96.6 mph four-seam fastball)
374 ft fly ball (exit speed: 99 mph, launch angle: 34°)

J.T. Realmuto homers (22) on a fly ball to left field.

Philadelphia Phillies 3 - Cincinnati Reds 3

[Patchmk88]
