[FLYguy3911]

You gotta love baseball.

Better to be lucky than good..

I’ve been saying for weeks how f***ing useless Knapp is.

Aide from giving Alfaro rest, he’s completely useless.

Defense aside, his swing is a mess. He was always going to be a bat first catcher. They have no one even close to big league ready at the position.

did Gabe say excellent win? lol

 

[FLYguy3911]

I get enjoyment over old school baseball guys losing their shit over teams not using a traditional closer.

Need a closer and a catcher who can play some defense. Knapp is brutal. But it is still a win.

 

[Cody Webster]

Could you imagine the outrage for Gabe if it was him that put the game winning run on base via intentional walk

 

[FLYguy3911]

Rob Ellis sounds like a Muppet tonight. I mean he usually does, but it's extra noticeable tonight.

 

[deadhead]

Grullon is playing well at Reading, he's only 22, a couple years away but an excellent defensive catcher starting to show some serious powr.

 

[montreal]

Watched Clearwater tonight, first time seeing Adonis Medina, he was on fire as he racked up the K's. Impressive outing for sure despite giving up a couple hits. With him and Sixto they have two major arms that might not be too far away.

They also have Kilome, who's ceiling isn't as high as those two I believe, but I think he's got some stuff.

I've seen Kilome live, haven't seen too much of him this year but haven't heard good things as most seem to think he's a pen arm. When I saw him with Lakewood I thought he was too skinny, looked like a bean pole as he's tall but lanky. It will be interesting to see what he can do if they have him repeat Reading next year. Having Sixto, Medina and Kilome would be fun to watch.

 

[FLYguy3911]

It's hard to evaluate pitchers in Reading. Everyone but Nola has gotten bombed there.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

What the hell is up with the commentary tonight? Who thought putting them in the stands and all this other shit was a good idea? Just call the damn game.

 

[Rebels57]

This HAS to be the worst bullpen in Phillies history.

Yeah...I can't even blame Kapler. There just isn't anyone to put out there besides Seranthony

 

[Rebels57]

Tommy Hunter is out there throwing BP.

What a total bum.

Kapler should have stuck with Vince.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

My god..

 

[wankstifier]

They'll somehow win 6-7

 

[wankstifier]

It grinds my gears that Crawford isn't still in

 

[FLYguy3911]

Rhys is locked in.

 

[SnS]

It grinds my gears that Crawford isn't still in

He got hurt in the 4th inning, I believe.

Ive been watching here and there. I think he was hit by a pitch.
