Just looks like the same team we've seen on the road/against quality competition pretty much all the time (and especially in the past two months) really. Not to mention a team that's been on the road for two weeks.

Cardinals are also a lot better than they were in July. No moral victories, all that matters is showing up tomorrow. Otherwise, 2022 really is like 2007 (except with no young stars yet).

[zambonir]

Hey, let's watch the smack against back-up shortstops over there, pal.

I could have named names!

[LoneStarPhan]

Well Robertson gives us a solid inning, but I don’t fault using Alvarado in the 8th.

One pitch that got hit out. Can and does happen to every pitcher.

Last chance to score at least two coming up.

[Sabin]

I also think it is absurd to believe that the probability of Gibson as a 13th pitcher making a positive contribution over a guy who would be a left handed power bat off the bench is virtually non-existent

I don't think this post means what you think it means.

[kikutaro]

Rhys Hoskins

Called strike (99.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (89.8 mph slider)
Ball (99.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (99.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.7 mph slider)
Swinging strike (90.2 mph slider)

Rhys Hoskins strikes out swinging.

[bkeich]

Only 1 strike thrown to Hoskins, but they were tough to lay off

Realmuto needs to get on to give Harper a chance against the righty

[LoneStarPhan]

Just could not hold up on ball four.

[EastFallowfield]

It's not like the Cardinals have gotten clutch hitting from anyone except the one pinch hitter.

[kikutaro]

J.T. Realmuto

Ball (91.9 mph slider)
Called strike (100.3 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (90.7 mph slider)

J.T. Realmuto singles on a line drive to left fielder Lars Nootbaar.

[Sabin]

It's not like the Cardinals have gotten clutch hitting from anyone except the one pinch hitter.

... who entered the game with a goose egg in his HR column.

[EastFallowfield]

Yepez had 12 homers in 253 ABs this year?

[zambonir]

Bwahahaha

The Phillies have not scored a postseason run in 18 straight innings, going back to the 8th inning of Game 4 of the 2011 NLDS on Oct. 5, 2011 when Michael Martinez scored on a wild pitch.

[bkeich]

Chance to make disappointing season into a good season

[EastFallowfield]

Kinda wish Bohm was up now

[Sabin]

Yepez had 12 homers in 253 ABs this year?

Ugh... I think I fell for the postseason statistical refresh.

[gmwannabe]

me too, I see a twin killing.
