Twins-Phillies Series thread.

Zack Eflin gets the start today. He pitched 5 shutout innings and struck out 9 in his 1st outing. I am hoping that this is
the new and improved Eflin. He has been prone to giving up the long ball in the past. However, striking out 9 batters in 5 innings may be a hint that he is ready to make his mark this season! GO PHILLIES!

Looks like Arrieta’s the man, today.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

18 pitches through 2 innings is a good start.

 

[jvett77]

A bad Friday night for old man Jake, I guess.

 

[jvett77]

Rhys!

 

[jvett77]

Saturday rally in prog.

 

[jvett77]

Slam would be cool.

 

[Retroram52]

WE need a FG right about now.

 

[Taddy Mason]

hey guess who continues to be 100% correct about Pivetta........this guy

my god he is trash

dude pitched in a monsoon, he's got the talent.

 

[Retroram52]

Arrieta's 1.3 swinging strike % today ties the lowest he's generated in 127 starts since the beginning of the 2015 season.

 

[Retroram52]

Nick Williams will pinch-hit for Jake Arrieta in the 7th. Arrieta's line this afternoon: 7 ip, 5 h, 3 r, 3 er, 3 bb, 1 k, 2 hr. Not too shabby except for those three runs he gave up.

 

[Retroram52]

We are running out of time and opportunities to at least tie this affair.

 

[Retroram52]

Bases loaded as Odubel gets a hit.

 

[Retroram52]

Come on Hernandez. Put the ball in play!

 

[Retroram52]

Way to go dumbass. Leave the bases loaded. That is a Phillies hallmark dating way back.

 

[BPNAZ]

my God enough with Cesar Hernandez he is fucking trash

either play Kingery more let him sink or swim or go get someone else

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Phillies will get them in the 9th inning!

 

[jvett77]

It will be up to Franco, poss Altherr, then Cutch.

 

[Taddy Mason]

It will be up to Franco, poss Altherr, then Cutch.

Realmuto up first.

let's just hope it's a one run deficit.

 

[Taddy Mason]

alright, up to segura-harper-hoskins....

 

[jvett77]

I believe we’re done, today.
