Damnit. Cowboys take the 17-10 lead in the 4th.

We will see what happens tonight but with their defense leaving RISP is going to cost tbe Phillies

FWIW... I think Marsh is a better corner outfielder than Pache.  

This would be a spot it would be nice to have Rhys Hoskins available to bat.

This is where you try to steal.

Yes but I don’t want to take Rojas out of center for the 9th…

No, if he is out then Harper may not bat

Not sure you can take Rojas out right now. Might need him defensively with kimbrel on the mound.

Agreed... but Pache as the defensive replacement you don't lose a ton.

 

 

Rojas has made good contact tonight.   Only 1 hit to show for it though.   That catch the other night might have ignited something.

Some good infield play the last couple of innings. Can't buy anything.

All academic... but if you can get a blast for 2 runs... it's worth it.

Dbacks can pick it.   Phillies... 😬

Tbh feel like the odds you get a 2 run homer from Rhys who hasn’t played in 6 months is far less likely than needing Rojas in center. I just think they’d rather have Rojas in the outfield in a 2 run game then hoping Rhys goes yard.

I hated starting an at bat with off speed pitches.  At a lower level, most hitters won’t catch up to a good fastball…off speed just gives them a better chance to hit it.

Depends what my pitchers second pitch is. 

fireballer? Sure bring the heat. Again depends on the batter. Can do alot to manage the hitter, as you know.

too bad all you pitchers were head cases that i had to manage…

Unless you are the Phillies and the pitcher throws it to center

dbacks fielding has been insane.

Well... I haven't been watching him in BP.    

They got this. 💪

Managing a pitcher’s psyche is a catchers toughest job haha.  I’d get sent into orbit with the universal catcher settle down sign with the downward glove pump.
