Nice win! Definitely wasn't expected after the start we had. Sunday Night Baseball next! Can somebody please tell me the last time we won on Sunday Night Baseball? Have we ever won on Sunday Night Baseball?

7 saves already.  Just lights out.

Do we have to keep throwing Cain out there and how and why is McCutchen in there every day regardless of the opponent. If the idea was for him to help against lefties who he hit very well last year it was a defensible signing but he can't hit righties at all at this point in his career. The fact that he is hitting cleanup and we really don't have any better options tells you how bad this lineup currently is.

If Hiura is halfway back to his rookie year performance, he and McCutchen would make a helluva platoon. But Counsell doesn't even seem to know that Keston has reverse splits, or that McCutchen is abysmal vs. rhp.

Hey, a win in Philadelphia. Couldn’t manage that in 4 tries last year. .

Levering: "Very nonchalant call"

Rock: "Yeah, well..."

The implied "it's Angel Hernandez" was pretty funny. 

 

Guaranteed Angel wasn't even paying attention.

If Rowdy and Renfroe heat up at the same time this lineup will have some good thump in the middle.

I was pretty confident Renfroe would be fine in time, now I hope Tellez can keep hitting.
