Lol, drives you crazy. I saw a four-pitch walk to #9 in some game last weekend, I couldn't believe it. Goes to illustrate the level of mental discipline a pitcher needs. It's not easy.Weird outing for Sanchez. It seemed like he was cruising in the bottom of the third. He had a low pitch count and got two quick outs. Then he issued a four pitch walk to the #9 hitter. After that the wheels really fell off.
The same old problems have caught them.Phillies choking away another one tonight. They can’t hit at all lately.
Seranthony gets his 1st save of the year, and the Fightins win 5-3 in 11 innings!
That was a feisty win. For a regular season game, felt like a World Series game inside the stadium. Hopefully, a step taken by Seranthony tonight. That was vintage Seranthon. Almost unhittable. Let’s get another win and get the squad back home with reinforcements coming.
I’d take 4-4. The schedule makers did not do these guys any favors, that’s for sure. They have travelled a lot and the pitching has been hurt by throwing these guys off schedule. People can’t appreciate how much routine plays into succes and how much their routine has been disrupted. Throw in an injury to the heartbeat of this team and they need to keep the fort down until the AS break. Hopefully, this is a 4 week thing with JT and he’s back right after the break. Turner and Marsh will obviously be back in the next couple of days.3 - 3 on this extended road trip so far. If we can squeeze out one more win in Baltimore, that would ensure us a 4 - 4 road trip.
I hope this game turns the corner for Seranthony. Maybe Rafael should be his designated catcher. We can't pitch Strahm every day.
Still in all, this is an amazing run with essentially one third of our starters and a key backup on the shelf (Turner, JT, Marsh and Clemens).
I say JT and Trey should take as long as they need to get healthy and be ready for August and September.I’d take 4-4. The schedule makers did not do these guys any favors, that’s for sure.

I still don’t know how that guy got to the dinger hit off Strahm. Marchan was almost standing up. That is one you just have to tip your hat to the batter.
Last night was a ton of fun. I think both fan bases seemed to enjoy each other and I think both teams want to measure where they are by playing each other. Seranthony was filthy last night. If they can get him back, their pen significantly improves.
Stay the course everyone. Like the goofy QB once said in Green Bay R-E-L-A-X.
Saturday's game:
He’s bad. The only reason he’s still a Phillie is that his awful contract made him impossible to trade. No team was taking on that millstone.Correct me if I'm wrong. Castellanos is the only player to play every game this season and he's hitting 208. Pathetic!
So who gets sent down?
A big one is in right field.There's cracks in the armor boys
He out and out blows.A big one is in right field.
Fire Thompson! Franklin to the Phillies!!Phillies pitching has hit the skids too. The Big 3 have looked human lately and I see a collapse on the way, unfortunately. Also, what is Thompson thinking batting the toreador second? That warrants being on the hot seat right now IMO
