Phillies@Cardinals 4-Game Series

[jvett77]

This is real good early season test of the young Phillies pitching staff. The Cards are batting .270/.346 with 35 homers vs the Phils pathetic .220/298 and 21 homers.

On the other side, the Cards staff has a 4.03 ERA with 187 Ks vs the almost brilliant Phils currently toting a 3.27 ERA and 254 Ks. Of course, it was only fair that I remove the poor contributions of lamers Stumpf and Russell which added .4 to the team ERA.

Tonight, it's Hellickson, 2-1, 3.81, vs old man Wainwright, 1-3, 7.16. Hey, let's get excited for a preview of this years NLCS. Go Phillies! You can't beat optimism!

It would be another step forward if we learn what its like to extend a winning streak to seven and even ten but this will be a test.

I'm a little worried about all the Cards lefty bats against Hellickson, but hey we're on a roll so who knows.

That will be a problem. The Cards can flat out hit. Jeremy will need a solid five innings.

 

[jvett77]

Hellickson gets thru the first. That's hopeful.

 

[Four4Four]

GOD, Matt stairs shut da fuc up about Molina. We get it, he can hit

 

[jvett77]

Yeah. he should zip it up.

 

[jvett77]

Got a chance here to get some runs early off Wainwright. 2 0n 1 out.

 

[Cedrique]

lets go Odubel

 

[jvett77]

Let's go Galvis. Slam!

 

[jvett77]

Only two run single. Shit. 2-0.

 

[jvett77]

Clear the bases!

 

[Four4Four]

Who is this team? I'm soooooo glad they're watchable again

 

[jvett77]

One for the home crowd, Howard!

 

[jvett77]

I didn't really expect this, a 3-0 lead on Wainwright.

 

[jvett77]

Hellickson is starting screw up.

 

[jvett77]

They got out of that? Wow.

 

[Cedrique]

This team has more lives than Wile E Coyote

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis and Franco with runs batted in and we are 3-0 going into the fifth. This could really be win number 7.

 

[jvett77]

Damn. Wainwright has power?
