Phillies-D'Backs Gamethread - Friday

Garcia strikes out first batter on 96 mph pitch. Prospect Yasmani Thomas up. He grounds out. One to go.

Garcia gives up a single up the middle. One on two outs.

Garcia strikes out Pollock to end the game Phils win 4-3! Satisfying win after coming from behind. 3 wins in row.

This is a sign of things to come. Galvis continues to impress! Franco tried too hard today, but he will improve.
3 wins in a row is a positive sign. The starting pitching is improving. Time to give Nola a start in the bigs! Moving UTley to 6th was long overdue. Galvis should never bat 8th again. Ryno takes a while to figure things out but still lacks common sense.

Three-in-a-row. What is the world coming to these days.

I didn't see the game tonight. Did I miss something? Garcia came in for the save? Aren't they paying Papelbon a lot of money to do that?

 

[Cedrique]

Also, if Papelbon is unavailable wouldn't Giles be the next in line?

 

[jvett77]

Neither Paps nor Giles was available because they made a certain number of appearances in the previous few days or week. So it was good that Garcia was on his game for the last two innings.

Phils are beginning their '15 run a little early. lol.

Franco had good at bats and had no trouble making contact except one K. Galvis is the Phils' MVP so far. If he stops hitting the Phils will lose 190 games this year.
