Not really. A Phillies loss tonight and a Brewers win puts us tied and we would only need to make up one more game with them finishing against the Astros.
Looking like a must-win tonight. I get they have Alcantara pitching, but Burnes is just as good and is facing the worse lineup. Time to put up or shut up.
No. Counsell made the right decision because Hiura is highly likely to strike out. If he does that, then a double play the next batter leaves you with nothing.
