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

[Retroram52]

Better throw by Asche this time.

 

[Retroram52]

That was just about a homerun by Zimmerman.

 

[Retroram52]

The Nats player left too early and we didn't even ask for an appeal.

 

[Retroram52]

Five down and we are still down by 3.

 

[Retroram52]

Swing and a miss by Francoeur.

 

[Retroram52]

Well time for some dinner. I doubt this outcome is going to be any different except maybe the Nats will add some more runs. 3-8 and a 6-game losing streak on the way.

 

[jvett77]

Well, no overachieving tonite. Looks like Howard contained his power stroke since no runners were on base when he was at the plate.

 

[jvett77]

Woops. Last gasp in the 9th. Howard drives in a run with a single for old times sake. Ruf Ks to end the slaughter.

 

[Retroram52]

Just as I suspected. Nats add some runs and we lose. Onward we go for perhaps getting swept like the Mets did to us just several days ago.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, we got out of Washington with out getting swept with a 5-3 win over the Nats. We leave 4-8 and 1-3 in the series. Onward we go.

 

[Retroram52]

Sorry, I must of confused dates. We have one more game today against the Nats before we leave. With the win yesterday, we won't leave Washington getting swept.

 

[jvett77]

Still behind 3-0 with only 2 hits off Stras. Francoeur just flied out with 2 on to end the Phils' 6th. I would rather have seen Ruf in that situation but he needed to rest today. After all, you don't wanna put too much pressure on the kid.

 

[Retroram52]

Heading into the bottom of the seventh with the goose egg still up there.

 

[Retroram52]

Werth gets a sac base hit to get the runner in scoring position.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice catch by Revere hunting down that fly ball.

 

[Retroram52]

McGowan serves up another base hit and the runner scores for a 0-4 lead.

 

[Retroram52]

There stands Howard running his mouth. That's about all he's worth. McGowan serves up a deep ball to Ramos.

 

[jvett77]

Looks like a typical lost cause, retro. But there's always the bench. lol.

 

[Retroram52]

And McGowan outdoes himself with the dirt ball and the runners advance.

Yep jvett. This one is pretty much toast. I think I'll go watch some racing before too long.
