Phillies Cubs Gamethread- Sunday.last but not least

[jvett77]

Well, this game is a done deal. Nola gets his first win and we sweep the Cubs at Wrigley. What more can we ask for. Later.

 

[Retroram52]

That's seven straight retired by Nola and a helluva a throw by Galvis to take down the side.

 

[Retroram52]

Later jvett. A very good series!

 

[Retroram52]

Nola has 9 in-a-row retired. This kid is really going to be a good one.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, we have outhit the Cubs 25 to 2!!

 

[Retroram52]

Pete Rose would follow that ball all of the way in even to the point of watching the catcher throw it back to the pitcher

betting or no betting I loved Charlie Hustle's approach to hitting and to the game

Same here Snowdog. Technique-wise in baseball, Charlie Hustle was impeccable.

 

[Retroram52]

WOW, what has gotten into Dom Brown. That is his third hit of the day.

 

[Retroram52]

Nola has 10 retired batters and he just gave a single that Franco almost pulled off the throw to first. Howard kept it from becoming additional bases.

 

[Retroram52]

Holy Cow, Howard nails a 2-run Homer and we now lead 11-2.

 

[Retroram52]

Galvis is on by walk.

 

[Retroram52]

Nola has thrown just 76 pitches in 8 innings.

 

[Retroram52]

That was crappy. Nola gives up a two-run homer late.

 

[Retroram52]

That'll be all she wrote for Nola. 7 and two-thirds is not too shabby with 4 runs given up. Phils lead 11-4.

 

[Retroram52]

Araujo is in.

 

[Retroram52]

Araujo walks the batter.

 

[Retroram52]

Araujo gets out of the side and the Phillies pitching today has 7K's.

 

[Retroram52]

Ninth inning and the Phils still up 11-4.

 

[Retroram52]

Hector Neris is now in.

 

[Retroram52]

Neris serves another homerun. 11-5 Phils.

 

[Retroram52]

Howard has had a productive week-end for the Phils.
