Another GD ball that needs to be a few feet over 

so unlucky

I said they were going to score 2 runs that inning. They let me down.

Now comes the part where Thompson reminds me of Manuel...does he over manage or not.

Gotta believe realmuto is gassed right now. He’s 1 for his last 19 with 12 Ks. 

Want to say get Schwarber out of lead off but no one is ever on base after him anyway so... Eh.

I’m guessing it’s wheeler unless Alvarez comes up then they go to Alvarado who’s a lefty

Keep tacking on more please. Someone else needs a hero moment.

Thank you schwarber but if harpers was gone too that would of been huge

He's a professional hitter.  I can see Stott potentially taking over depending on how he progresses.

That was deliberate.

lol. that was like an Andy Reid challenge. Not even close to something that could be overturned.

What a waste of a challenge.

The struggles with getting Maldonado out this series…

He was definitely trying to get it, but I understand it’s tough to pull the trigger on that rule.

I doubt it in a one run game with the best part of the Astros lineup coming up. Don’t want to put the worst hitter on 

Didn’t even try to move. The cheaters perfected the lean into pitch.

He's talking about taking the pitch off the arm there.

Oh, I didn't mean the pitcher hit him on purpose. Just meant it looked like Maldonado moved his elbow into the pitch.

At this point I’d want the Phillies to try that cause it’s worth a shot. It worked for Roger dorn

I'd rather take the ball through the arms over taking it on the elbow like he did.

Ah. Gotcha. I mean i don’t blame him cause I’d try to do that too with how Wheeler has been looking 

lets not pull Wheeler just yet. 

Why rush to pull Wheeler?  Let’s see how this batter goes.

ok. now you ca pull him. 

It’s a good plan until you wake up with a hangover and if the news is bad 

 

Of course the inning the Phils take a lead they can’t have a clean inning.
