Series Thread: Washington at Phillies

[jvett77]

Philly fan energy is way up. It's the wave!

 

[Retroram52]

Burnett just walked Rendon. This is not good.

 

[Retroram52]

That is a good sign when the fans get the big e going. A win tonight would be great.

 

[Retroram52]

Jayson Werth. Frikin traitor!

 

[jvett77]

No worries, the savior is coming in with the heat.

 

[Retroram52]

Well Werth and LaRoche are on. You are right jvett, the Heatman is in with that rocket arm.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it! Zimmerman gets a double and Werth scores.

 

[Retroram52]

C'mon Asche, put one out of the park!!

 

[Retroram52]

Three outs and we take game one!

 

[jvett77]

This is good practice for Giles.

 

[jvett77]

One more out and we've gone from 12 out to 8 out. That's decent progress.

 

[jvett77]

Five in row feels good!

 

[Retroram52]

Another 5-game winning streak and I agree jvett. We are making up ground quickly. If we sweep these Nats we are right back in the hunt!!

 

[jvett77]

I always felt that when both ends of the lineup contributed, we'd get some wins, retro. Asche, Brown, and Rupp have figured into the past 5 wins along with the core players. I wonder how long they can play at this level. A month or 2 would be cool. Half of the remaining 70 games or so are within the division and I think the Phils will make it interesting. If they can only avoid those ruts they've gotten into in the first half. Well, tomorrow is a great match up with Hamels and Strasberg.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, they need to focus on consistency and I think they may be doing just that. I stated last evening after the Milwaukee series that this Washington series would give a clue as to whether or not the Phillies did indeed figure something out after that horrendous Pissburgh series. Preliminarily, it looks as though they might have but we shall see for sure in the next couple of games.

The Phillies will sweep Washington. Everything is clicking now. Both pitching and timely hitting.

 

[Retroram52]

Totally!

Is Fox serious with their graphics? "Phillies- Seeking their first playoff appearance since 2011." That's like saying "Ray Charles- Seeking his first glimpse of light since 1963"

 

[Retroram52]

LOL! Too funny WW.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels is starting slow and Werth got a batter home we are already down by one. His pitch count is already at 17 in the first and this is not good as these things go.
