Phillies vs Dodgers game thread

We need to take advantage and hopefully widen this to a big ass lead.

There's too many games left to call it. You guys know crazier things have happened.

That said, I think everyone is "all in" on the Dodgers.

Thats why I refuse to say it is over yet.

An 8.5 game lead at this point in the season is nothing considering how the tides can turn. It's certainly better being the team with the lead, and I'm pretty confident that the Dodgers have the team capable of winning the Division.

Now they need to concentrate on playing for the best record in the League.

 

[LASports96]

I only want the best record if STL wins the Central, if not.. I don't want best record

 

[besaesa]

I think if we play at least 500 the rest of the season it will still be hard for az to catch us. Im just concerned about a long slump and collapse

"King Kong" Uribe does it again! I almost want this guy to stick around just to see the team go nuts and make fun of him whenever he does something good. Almost being the key word though haha. Had fun watching the game today, now League needs to try not to give up a home run.

 

[besaesa]

League had a nice ninth to close it out! I honestly liked Don's decision making after Uribe hit that bomb. We need to rest Kenley and did not need to use him tonight. Now if league had gotten into any trouble I would have had a quick hook but I don't find fault with how Don managed the pen tonight. Great win and now were guaranteed this series

The Dodgers keep rolling. Tonight was no surprise with Kershaw on the mound. Philly must feel like they've been bushwhacked facing Greinke then Kershaw.

Is it possible the Dodgers keep Uribe for next Season? There seems to be a dearth of 3B available. It could happen. Got to give Uribe credit for turning his game around after what he did his first two years with the Dodgers.

Will Nolasco be able to keep things rolling tomorrow? Hamels is no slouch. Let's hope the Dodgers magic continues.

I wouldnt mind bringing Uribe back on a 1 year incentive laden deal. I like what he is doing but remember this is a contract year for him.

Looks like Gonzalez and Crawford are getting the day off. Time for the bench to step up in their place.

Hanley blew it today

 

[Silas]

The Dodgers won't win them all and these games will come from time to time. Great Series overall as the Dodgers took 2 of 3. Nolasco pitched well. Things just got away in the 9th. A new streak should start tomorrow.

One thing the Dodgers have going for themselves is their pitching, which should translate into a lot more wins and the unlikelihood of any prolonged losing streaks.

On to Miami.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I'm looking for Hanley to have a big series.

 

[besaesa]

Hanley blew it but with the streak we are on I am not TOO upset by the loss. We just need to go in Miami and take 3 of 4 ideally and forget about this loss.

 

[LASports96]

Don mailed it in today with this lineup, jeeze, and ultimately it hurt us with Hairston playing 1B in the 9th

Ugh, it's only 1 game, moving on

 

[besaesa]

Its one game and hopefully we get the win today against Miami. I hope AZ loses too.
