Maldonaldo pulled a fast one on that grounder that was bouncing foul and got a way with one.

Lohse has retired 13 straight. This is heading down the road of an extra innings game.

 

[Retroram52]

When we walk batters bad things happen. Hopefully our defense will pick up the slack.

Very nice sac bunt by Hernandez to get Rupp to second. Well done.

Let's go revere!

Moving Rupp to third on a nice sac base hit by Bennie and the Jets. Now's the time Jimmie, now's the time!

 

[Retroram52]

YEA BABY!!! THAT's THE TICKET JIMMIE!!

Cameron Rupp reminds me of Greg Ludzinski.

I missed that homer. But we're up 3-1. We're hot, .. so far. Get ready RP unless Hernandez can go all the way. Well I guess that's a stretch.

 

[Retroram52]

IDK, jvett. Hernandez is getting sides out 1-2-3 and this game is whippin by and now we have a 2-run lead. So Hernandez may be able to go the distance. He only has 63 pitches.

Howard is a paltry 2 for 24 on this road trip. Howard is definitely in a slump and may be showing his age.

 

[Retroram52]

Bring Franco up and sit Howard and hope somebody wants that ugly contract because Howard is not hitting like the rest of the club especially the old guys like Utely and Rollins.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice single by Byrd. Lets get some insurance runs here. Asche needs to start hitting as well. He is Ofer tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Shoot Byrd head to third dude!!

 

[Retroram52]

Hitting is contagious and the Phillies are feeding off each other. They definitely look different than a month ago.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh yeah, Rupp nails a RBI and we tack on a run. Asche is on third. Sweet!!

Bring Franco up and sit Howard and hope somebody wants that ugly contract because Howard is not hitting like the rest of the club especially the old guys like Utely and Rollins.

Love to see it happen but unlikely. This game is looking good. Nice blooper by Rupp.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep jvett. I am in fantasyland on Franco but I am hoping.

 

[Retroram52]

Less than 70 pitches in 7 innings is an excellent night for Hernandez.

 

[Retroram52]

Man these guys are clicking tonight!
