This will be the game Mancini pinch hits and goes yard.

And if I'm Dusty I'm starting Vazquez.
Maldy needs to be better. We tout him to be this manager on the field but what he called tonight and in JVs start is baffling. Throw in that he never once called time to visit Lance is not good.
I'm sure a lot of that is pregame strategizing but a lot of it is also inexcusable. Start Vasquez and get his offense in there.
I think it is not a bad use here. He could go long and he finally gets his feet wet this postseason in a low stress situation. It is not if he is done for the rest of the Series.QRI-Ag said:

Seriously, how did they only win 87?
They only won a total of 87 but they were a damn good team after firing their manager.
Don't know the exact record but they've been a roll for the entire 2md half.
This didn't just start out of nowhere.
Look at what their deadline acquisitions are doing vs ours
Marsh, Thor, & Robertson?
no I'm blaming it on the stupid scheduling. Waiting a week to get started then random off day in the middle of the DS followed by almost a full week off for both teams before the WS. MLB is ****ing with the teams this year.jkag89 said:I guess we should have lost a few games in the ADLS & ALCS. Or are you blaming this on the rain out last night?JohnnyTexAg1995 said:
It's almost like playing 9 games in a month doesn't allow you to get in any type of rythmn

17 HR is 6 home games… how many do they have on the road
True, but big difference is we hadn't used Framber yet in that series, and only way he goes again in this series is if we find W the next 2 games in PhillySW-14 said:
I remember last year's ALCS. Boston kicked our ass in games 2 and 3, and yet we bounced back. I'm not panicking…yet.

Sounds like their crowd really does matter! It obviously spooked LMJ

You don't think playing extra stressful games every ****ing year doesn't wear on you?BCEDAg said:

Harper got the first tipped pitch, zero doubt. Then he ran to the on deck guy to tell him what to look for. He got him next. It was a quick 3-0.
The rest has just been wrong-way momentum in a hostile environment. Can't spot a momentum team that lead.
That bad news for the Phillies is that winning by a lot doesn't count for more wins. We tie it back up tomorrow.

What's special about their crowd? Why didn't New York, Seattle, Chicago, and LA spook him?

Notice how most of the teams that have won recently weren't in the playoffs the year before or didn't make a long run the year before?
Nobody ever said postseason baseball since they went to divisional play was fair.TayTrox said:
Best overall team running into a hot team. Same ****, different year. Yay baseball.

Okay if they score two more I might have to call it a night. I think anyone here right now has pretty thick skin, but IMO they score again and it's over.
Still have hope I'd we can get out without a run scoring.
