Great job.

[willie key]

Hiura with a big hit and carartini too

 

[yourout]

No matter what the circumstances are......Beating the Cardinals is a good thing.

Big games tomorrow!

Let's have more Phillies sorrow!

[Matt Breen]

Well, 1/2 game back. Just gotta keep winning. Easier said than done with this team, but that's the truth right now. Let's just do it.

Wonder if they bring Burnes and Woodruff back on short rest, to avoid the the 3-4 bullpen games they’ll have between now and the end

Woodruff's next scheduled start would be Monday.  I am not sure the Brewers would go with Burnes with only 4-days of rest maybe but Woodruff should start on Monday that would give him 4 full days of rest and starting on the 5th day.  I don't see a need to bump Woodruff off of his schedule.

Adames is lucky they turned that DP. That glove hand toss was unnecessary BS. 

I was at the yard tonite. Was b****ing at Adames from the moment he released that "feed", if you can call it that. I never thought it possible to be so upset at a Brewer DP to get out of a jam. Wong saved the day, big time.

Great AB by Yelich from where I was sitting. Not easy to come back from 0-2 there, much less draw the walk. There's takes, and then there's really good takes.

Don't think I've ever been at a game where I saw so many combined good ABs by light-hitting catchers. Was actually surprised Williams struck out Knizner in the 8th. He was staying on the ball & driving it to the middle of the diamond all night.

I wonder if any fans asked for refunds because they didn't get to see any of the illustrious icons (Wainwright, Molina, Pujols) perform. I guess we should just be happy to be in the same building as such majesty.

Agreed. I don't think it makes sense to have Woodruff pitch on short rest. Pitching SP on short rest has proven to a be a mixed bag and the overall numbers are worse when SP go on short rest.

So StL idiotically brings in a RHP to pitch to Hiura, who rakes vs. RHP, and CC immediately PH's Yelich. It worked out OK, but it was stupid.

Knizner has 4 HRs this year, and 2 were hit in his last two games vs. the Brewers.

Keston Hiura's September OPS is .508. After a very good August, he's been absolutely ice cold. Yes, he had a big hit last night, but that move was far from stupid.

Maybe. I'm just ready to move on from the Keston Experience.
