Hail Rhys! Solid three-run bomb! I think we'll see many more of these from now on. Solid approach at the plate as usual.

Beautiful stop by Alfaro on the wicked grounder to first for the dp.

Having Joseph out of the lineup is a plus!

It was that bastard all along.

Liveley called up to start todays game. He could be one of our starters next year. I like
his style.

just nice to be able to watch Hoskins, Williams, and Alfaro regardless of how they do. It's a shit season that was going to be a shit season glad to see some of the new class is finally out there. Gives a reason to watch. Very happy to see how Hoskins taking his fair share of walks and a limited number of strikeouts. Would be nice if they could put someone behind him to protect him better. Fuck, how disappointing is Franco. Was hoping he'd eventually come around.

Hoskins is bright spot for the Phillies future. You are right about the need for someone to hit behind him.
Franco may never be that guy.

I only mentioned having someone hit behind him as I saw some to do between him hitting 3rd or 4th, I don't care where he's at, just put him in front of someone the opposition has to respect. As it were, we're no there yet, but we have some nice up and comers regardless. Let's not hurry everyone up, trade where we can and grow from there.

For a minute I believe I saw Franco relaxing at the plate before the pitch instead of his usual fidgeting around. Hoskins' calm style is contagious!

Could be he is weaning from over medicating.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Williams should be batting 3rd and Hoskins 4th. Franco is a bust. Idiot manager should not mess with Hoskins. He
has the most success batting 4th. Mack is clueless!

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Samuel sends another runner home. Result, he is out. We could have had runners on 1st and 3rd with one out.
I have seen this script too often.

Rhys Rules!

 

[Taddy Mason]

To think TJ has kept this guy from getting called up and then from being able to play 1B. Hard to believe, Harry

The beast strikes again. Let Joseph stay on the bench, we are doing better without him!
