Phillies at Boston 3-Game Series Thread

[jvett77]

Battle of basement dwelling slackers where Phillies throw three young rookies, Morgan, Asher, and Eickhoff, at the Sox in Fenway. Boston's hitting .265 and have 4.52 ERA vs the Phils'.253 and 4.80. The Red Sox have only won 8 more games than the Phils. Phillies need a solid game from at least one of these young hurlers as they try to avoid a sweep and look forward to next season.

Tonite, Morgan 5-4, 4.06 vs Kelly 8-6, 4.94.

Complaints, gripes, and compliments welcome as the Phillies slide further downhill into position for the #1 pick.

Dom Brown is on the DL and done for the season. More playing time for Sweeney perhaps. Ruf gets the start at 1st tonight. They heard jvetts hollering!

 

[jvett77]

Dom really went out with a bang. Actually, he nearly broke his freakin neck.

 

[jvett77]

They still managed to get Howard in there with the DH despite the left hander, northeast. .136/.186/.253 with 3 HR, 10 RBI. Maybe we'll get lucky. lol.

The slaughter is starting early. Red sox taking batting practice in the 1st.

 

[jvett77]

Three solid singles off Morgan and 1-0, Sox.

 

[jvett77]

Sweeney just missed it. He does have some power.

 

[jvett77]

Ruf Ks against the lefty. He's .377 vs LHP.

 

[jvett77]

Woops. Kelly's a righty. Wtf. I'll get it right next time.

 

[jvett77]

Sweeney up with 2 in scoring position, 1 out in the 4th.

 

[jvett77]

Sweeney gounds out to first and a run scores. 1-1.

 

[jvett77]

Ruf infield single to left scores Altherr. 2-1 Phils. Asche up.

 

[jvett77]

Asche walks and Rupp is up with 2 on, 2 out. 3-run smash would be cool.

 

[jvett77]

Rupp Ks on the 3-2 pitch.

 

[jvett77]

Sox take the lead in the 5th as Betts doubles in a run and a sac fly scores another. Sox 3-2. 6 Ks for Morgan.

 

[jvett77]

Asche doubles in the 7th, Rupp hit by pitch, Galvis up. No outs.

 

[jvett77]

Galvis bunts a pop to third. What an ass.

 

[jvett77]

LH Lane in to pitch. Odubel strikes out.

 

[jvett77]

RH Ramirez in to pitch. Cesar up. He strikes out swinging. Wow, the young Phillies stink.

 

[jvett77]

Jackie Bradley HR over LCF wall off Morgan. 4-2 now.
