Pirates-Phillies series Gamethread.

Let’s go, Kraut!

 

[jvett77]

Hard hit ball to second, but it appeared Altherr was loafing to first.

 

[BPNAZ]

Nothing like protecting your best fucking player with a guy hitting .090

SUCH A GOD DAMN JOKE

its one thing to even fucking play that POS in the first place, and entirely different kind of pathetic to bat him 5th in the lineup

 

[jvett77]

We win this in 8th or 9th on a homer. No doubt about it. Pirates suck. What are they doing in first.

 

[jvett77]

Now, we’re talkin! Triple for El Torito! 2-1 Phils.

 

[jvett77]

C’mon, Hoskins, you’ve been fuckin up lately.

 

[jvett77]

Gotta be a Kraut homer here.

 

[jvett77]

Unbelievable!! Hoskins caught off first, gets in rundown, then Odubel picked off trying to score, lol, then Hoskins out trying to make it to third! Two coaches, two player caught sleeping.

Now, if only Neris can hold the lead.

 

[jvett77]

Only one out to go!

 

[jvett77]

A Win! Luckily. Pitching saves us.

Pitching is our strength! Gotta love it!

Pitching is our strength! Gotta love it!

Yeah. It's early but we have three starters under 2.50, Arrieta, Nola, and Pivetta. Three relievers under 1.50 Arano, Rios, and Ramos. Overall, Phils have a 3.26 ERA.

Might yet be towel waving if they can keep it up. And the 12-7 looks cool. 2 games behind Mutts.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Nola pitching today. Phillies will support him with runs. At least 2 home runs for the Phils today!

 

[jvett77]

Beautiful day to be at the park! The ball will be flying out for the Phillies! 4.74 Braun vs 2.22 Nola. Today’s lineup:

C. Hernandez 2B
C. Santana 1B
O. Herrera CF
R. Hoskins LF
M. Franco 3B
S. Kingery SS
A. Altherr RF
J. Alfaro C
A. Nola P

 

[jvett77]

Nice play by Santana on the hard grounder with solid toss to Second to complete the DP. I still remember the days when the big piece could not make the throw to second.

 

[Retroram52]

A couple of nice wins with the Bucs and we are two back of the Muts. This is a good development.

 

[jvett77]

Wind is blowing left to right field most of the time.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Are you at the game jvett?

 

[jvett77]

Are you at the game jvett?

Yep! See that last play where Cesar went out for the fly in center and Odubel should have called for it and the ball was dropped, allowing a run to score? Immature play again by Odubel. Damn!

 

[jvett77]

We need Hoskins to bang it into the seats here!
