Series Thread: Phillies @ The Nationals - 04/16/15 - 04/19/15

I don't know if I can watch anymore of this bullshit but we come in 3-6 to take on the Nats in a four-game series.

We're going to pull it all together tonite, baby! Howard will hit one against Fukster. Nats are throwing all RHP in this series. I've decided to stay positive for a few more games even with Revere, Rupp, Ruf, Utley, Howard, and Sizemore well below the mendoza line. Holy shit.

I went to a game a week ago. They won. It was cool. Howard looked like absolute shit and Utley was swinging at everything so he didn't get walked and have to watch Howard strike out again from his view on first base.

 

[Retroram52]

Sounds very cool eaglesnut.

 

[jvett77]

I like tonite's lineup. Hmmm, cleanup looks different.

1. Odubel Herrera, CF
2. Freddy Galvis, SS
3. Chase Utley, 2B
4. Jeff Francouer, RF
5. Cody Asche, 3B
6. Carlos Ruiz, C
7. Ryan Howard, 1B
8. Darin Ruf, LF
9. Cole Hamels, P

Howard batting 7th! I suggested this in a previous thread. It is a step in the right direction as long as they keep him there. Ruf batting right behind him makes it even better since it will be a competitive situation. I want to see
if this will motivate both of them or at least one of them. The Phillies may have a chance to score some runs tonight! At least I am hoping!

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe Sandberg is reading our thread! LOL!

 

[Retroram52]

What a shot by Galvis and we tie the ballgame!

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels has four Ks already and we are in this one.

 

[Retroram52]

Francoeur leads off the fourth by getting walked.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche advances Francoeur.

 

[Retroram52]

Ruiz sends a nice pop fly to center and the dude drops it. Francoeur moves to third.

 

[Retroram52]

lol! They are going to walk Howard!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice deep ball to center by Ruf and Francoeur scores and we go up 2-1.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels now has 5 Ks.

 

[Retroram52]

They called Hamels on the balk. That sucked.

 

[Retroram52]

Not a soul near Harper at second.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels gets number 6 K

 

[Retroram52]

Of course we miss the hit by Ramos into center-left and Harper scores to tie the game again.

There must be some sort of glitch. Jeff Francoeur with a walk? No way!
