10th man to bat in the Phillies 7th.

 

[Retroram52]

That seems to be working for guys struggling Northeast.

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez gets a blooper to drop and it is now 8-0. I am loving this...

 

[Retroram52]

Asche has really improved a bunch.

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis gets the throw done and one away.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice close pitch by Ramos and the plate ump is telling Hale to STHU!

 

[Retroram52]

Very good command of that breaking ball by Ramos and Ramos takes 'em down in order.

 

[Retroram52]

Herrera with his 4th hit and he's up to .260. 14 hits in 7 games.

 

[Retroram52]

Joseph had better pick it up or he may be headed back down. Gets Herrera to third with the sac fly though.

 

[Retroram52]

Very nice bare handed throw from third. That was a thing of beauty. Looked like Miguel Tejada on that play.

 

[Retroram52]

Liner to Hernandez and two down.

 

[Retroram52]

Neris is beginning to give up hits.

 

[Retroram52]

To the ninth and we are still pitching the shut-out.

 

[Retroram52]

Well what do ya know. The local sportscaster calling this game said this: "Rupp has a lot of Greg Luzinski in him." " A modern-day version of The Bull."

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis' stance is really strange. Right foot starts on the batter box and toe taps over to the middle of the plate. This is just jamming himself. Is it any wonder we have poor hitting nights from Galvis with crazy shit like that.

 

[Retroram52]

Paredes gets a nice base hit. Not bad for a dumpster-dive product from Toronto.

 

[Retroram52]

Another single by Hernandez and Paredes goes to third. Asche up.

 

[Retroram52]

Man that was a deep ball Asche got on a golf swing. Wow.

 

[Retroram52]

Severino Gonzalez is in to close it out hopefully.

 

[Retroram52]

We take the shut-out at 8-0. Nice win!
