That was won helluva a shot by Utely.

Hernandez is pitching. Depending how he starts this side, we may survive or get killed like against Pittsburgh in the early innings.

 

[Retroram52]

Got a good start getting Gomez out with just two pitches.

 

[Retroram52]

Seven pitches and Hernandez retires the side in order. That's a great start.

My post was 5 seconds before yours, retro.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice grab by Segura.

 

[Retroram52]

Dude, I think we should play the powerball with that kind of coincidence.

 

[jvett77]

We need Brown and Asche to have a good night.

 

[Retroram52]

Brown strikes out. Not a good start for him but he is batting .296 versus righties so there is hope.

 

[Retroram52]

What a throw by Asche and catch by Howard. No contest.

 

[Retroram52]

That is the one weakness of Revere. His throw from the outfield just doesn't have a great deal of energy. That one hurt us. Tied game.

Not much on that toss for sure.

Lohse is heating up.

It looked like he was throwing a wad of wet paper. The ball just died when it reached the infield. The Phillies should really work on the cut-off throw to help Revere out because opponents will stash that away as a mental note and send runners from second knowing Revere can't get them out with the throw from the outfield.

 

[jvett77]

Revere owes us for that like an extra base hit would help. Roberto is doing good so far. If he could just go 3 innings with more of the same we have a shot at winning this.

 

[Retroram52]

This game is hinting like one of our many tied-extra-inning ballgames at this juncture.

 

[Retroram52]

Hernandez has a great pitch count going as well. This is a god thing for us.

 

[Retroram52]

Freakin' Overbay is killing us tonight. 2 for 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Man, when Hernandez is on, he is damn good pitcher. Who'd have thunk it.

 

[Retroram52]

That was a pretty 90 mph sinker.
