Start of a 4-game series. It's a windy night at Wrigley. 6.33 Velasquez vs lefty 3.54 Brett Anderson. We need it to blow in for Vinnie. Whoopie!

Vinnie has developed a new pitch during the rain delay. It's called a snowball. It starts out big when he throws it, but by the time it reaches the plate it's the size of a pea. It might work if he throws it in the strike zone!

No respect for this future Cy.

It's about time, Joseph! 4-0, Phils.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Nice start coming off the dodgers series.

 

[jvett77]

Vinnie! It's looking good. 7-0 Phils.

 

[Taddy Mason]

The Altherr up there. Watching that develop I thought that was going to bounce past him and end very poorly.

 

[jvett77]

Beautiful 37 pitch inning, Vinnie. At least you left them loaded!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Vinnie has one more inning to go. 81 pitches so far. Phillies will need insurance runs when the bullpen takes over.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Nice start coming off the dodgers series.

I agree!

 

[jvett77]

I would Vinnie do another inning at least despite about 100 pitches.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Vinnie gives us 5 quality innings. 98 pitches means he will be yanked. Phils need more runs to hold the lead for the pen. GO PHILLIES!

I'd feel at ease with 10 more runs. 8-1 ain't too bad.

10-1 even better

Mack finally uses Neshak in the 9th. Neshak has not allowed a run this year. Mack has no common sense.
He could have used Leiter tonight as well. Pitch well, and get bench rot while other relievers get bombed.

 

[jvett77]

Why couldn't we do this at In LA?

Two words, no three words. Neris, Gomez and Mack. We should have won two out of three in LA.

Helickson gets the start tonight. Phillies looking for two in a row. GO PHILLIES!
