Series Thread: Washington at Phillies

[Retroram52]

Hamels went 1-2-3. He is heating up. We need to get some runs soon.

 

[Retroram52]

Washington's defense is getting increasinglu stingy. We are going to have to come with some hits in the next 4 innings.

 

[Retroram52]

Rendon definitely had a huge jump. Glad Werth fouled off that ball.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

Hamels walks lead off guy. Not a good sign.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it!! Werth got all of that fastball. We are down 3-0.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche's defense is awesome. Second diving stop by the young third baseman.

 

[Retroram52]

Excellent. Back-to-back singles with Rollins and Utely and no outs. Here is where we need Howard to come through. Just put it in play and don't be a hero.

 

[Retroram52]

O.K. Byrd. Just put the ball in play.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh that is pretty. Rollins and Utely working the double steal.

 

[Retroram52]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!! Byrd put the ball in play with the double and two runs score.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's go Asche. The tying run is on second.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it!

 

[Retroram52]

Strasberg has pitched over 100 pitches and 30 alone in this inning. Rupp gets on by a walk.

 

[Retroram52]

Strasburg had retired 9 straight until this inning and then Rollins and Utely got the best of him.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't care if Seattle is interested in Byrd. He's a keeper because he has been an integral of our offense over these last five games and more.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels is at the century mark on pitch count and he gets tired pretty quick thereafter. Get the bullpen going.

 

[Retroram52]

Excellent play by Asche and we are out of the side.

 

[Retroram52]

C'mon Sizemore get the runner home. Nice deep sac fly to Gwynn to second.

 

[Retroram52]

Gwynn tags on the sac fly and he is into third. All we need now is to put the ball in play by Utely.

 

[Retroram52]

That is third time tonight the Phillies have stranded a runner on third.
