Swap Rickie and Marco in the batting order?

Swap Rickie and me in the batting order.

[Eye Black]

Braun's career line against Cliff Lee is impressive (10 hits in 23 ab's with 3 HRs). Hope he adds to those numbers today.

[MVP2110]

That Phillies lineup looks a lot better with Utley in it

[topper09er]

That was the first inning this series, in fact since the 6th on Sunday, that we did not get a hit. 22 straight frames with a hit until now

[yfinn6]

I know it's going to be tough for Rickie to get into any sort of groove offensively with limited at bats, but he seems all out of sorts.

[topper09er]

Seems like Lee gets to 0-2 on everyone

[ELCABALLO45]

Rammy just smoking the ball early this year. Love it.

[ELCABALLO45]

Lucroy is such a stud

[liveforoctober]

Lucroy is just really, really good.

[yfinn6]

Segura doesn't seem to be driving the ball at all (so far).

[brewcrewdue80]

Marco on pace for 8ip. Seriously he's a great pitcher just fly baller in a hitters ballpark. Imagine if he pitched for Philly in that NL East? 2.8ERA 1.05Whip.

[yfinn6]

Man it's fun to watch this team right now.

[ELCABALLO45]

My god I love this team right now...

[brewcrewdue80]

Yeaaaah!!!! Khris Davis! That's a monster 2out insurance run off Lee.

 

Just to add, those two doubles very well may knock Lee out after 6ip. As he's now over 90pitches.

[ELCABALLO45]

Marco on pace for 8ip. Seriously he's a great pitcher just fly baller in a hitters ballpark. Imagine if he pitched for Philly in that NL East? 2.8ERA 1.05Whip.

 

Well Philly I believe gives up more homers then Miller Park, but I agree with your point.

[dlk9s]

The Phillies broadcast has been kind of entertaining. Jamie Moyer posed a trivia question to his announcing partner: how many father/son combos did I play with or against in my career? He actually didn't know the answer to his own question. They've been brainstorming for a couple innings and have come up with 16 so far.

[dlk9s]

It's weird. When I watch Khris Davis, I feel like he doesn't really have a good feel for hitting MLB pitching; he just kind of flails at everything. But when he's not whiffing, he's getting hits, so I guess he's doing something right.

No, last year it appears they did, but Miller Park gives up more historically. But I am surprised Citizens appears to be in the top 10 of HR friendly parks, I thought they were bottom half.

[brewcrewdue80]

Wow I jinxed it, going to be that inning huh? So much for 8ip.

[topper09er]

Weeks all top half, lunging out and pulling an outside pitch for a "hit"

[PrinceFielderx1]

Weeks got a hit?! No way...

[liveforoctober]

Hallelujah Rickie. Hopefully that gets him some confidence. Let's get that run back.

[liveforoctober]

We appreciate it fellas. I don't think "sac bunt" is in GoGo's arsenal...
