Eickhoff is better than the numbers make him out to be. Unless Anderson pitches a Quality start, I expect the Phillies to win this game behind Eickhoff's pitching. Don't be surprised by a 10k performance by him.

Ryan Howard has been benched to "clear his head." As Davey Nelson put it, he's "struggling like a duck in a desert."

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Can we finally get rid of Windmill Sedar?

[burnzy24]

That wasn't even close at home.

[AKCheesehead]

I've been hesitant to pile on Sedar in the past but sending Luc there showed a complete lack of awareness.

[adambr2]

He's safe.

[adambr2]

Can we send Scooter back to the DL?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Great to see the Big Man hit the home run. Bit of a golf shot. Just kept carrying. Surprised a bit here in the ballpark.

[jerichoholicninja]

I've never understood the point of the delayed steal. I remember when I played in high school and college we practiced it all the time but never once actually did it.

[jerichoholicninja]

So what exactly is the logic behind bringing in a lefty who doesn't do great against righties to face the best RHB on the other team with the tying run on base? Sure, it worked but it makes no sense.

[jerichoholicninja]

Carter is starting to look like Rickie Weeks at the plate. He's getting good pitches to hit but isn't doing anything with them.

[TGOTJ]

Is there a delay? GameDay has stopped.

In the Braves series, one of the Braves TV announcers made an interesting observation about Carter (don't know if it's correct, but it seemed reasonable). He said Carter basically swings on one plane and has trouble adjusting if the ball is not on that plane. When the ball is on that plane, though, watch out.

I was wondering the same thing. Bases loaded with Carter up is not the spot I want the updates to freeze.

[sdcheezhd]

They called strike 3 on Hill even though he fouled it off. Not reviewable and that's it.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Blew a huge opportunity: bases loaded, no out, and don't score.

 

Really need two perfect innings from the bullpen now.

[jerichoholicninja]

Hey look bases loaded, no outs and we get nothing. Haven't seen that before.

 

And at least put up a fight Craig. Ya, they're not going to change it but act like you give a crap.

[sdcheezhd]

Before that Carter fouled off a couple 3-2s and Kd and they forced Gennett at the plate on a bouncer.

I'm not totally buying that. He doesn't look like he can handle the high pitch that well but belt and below he seems fine with.

[adambr2]

Please stop striking out looking so much with RISP. It is beyond frustrating by now.

[FVBrewerFan]

Scooter with bad lead off 3rd then late break cost a run there.

[jerichoholicninja]

Maybe he's got promise but Broxton is by far the worst hitting position player I've ever seen.

[adambr2]

The harder we try to 'manufacture ' runs, the harder they come.

Enrique Cruz for me. He was worse than a pitcher. He was overmatched in every AB.
