CJ Abrams scratched apparently due to jamming his finger on the slide last night.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Nunez starting for Abrams. Is this his first start?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I'd say pretty righty heavy, but no Adams. Might have been a day to give Gallo time off.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Nunez starting for Abrams. Is this his first start?

Yes. 9th inning substitution in his other games.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Nice quick 11-pitch inning for Irvin.

[Slateman]

Nunez starting for Abrams. Is this his first start?

As a Nat

[welch]

Jake got through the first inning without a run...

[welch]

But then...

[Natsinpwc]

I still want to call him Brad Marsh. 

Phillies left lots of runners in scoring position yesterday with no bad effect.  Another one now. 

And what was Lane doing out there on that hit by Bohm?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

But then...

Bohm, pronounced Boom in this case

[Natsinpwc]

Bad at bat by Young. Jammed on a 92MPH fastball on a 2-0 count.

The problem with matchup decisions: walk to get to Realmuto, and bam!

Miserable freakin' day at the Park. 

Not only that, it's windy, cloudy, really cold and full of philly fans...

Bad day at the park is better than a good day at work, don’t ever forget that

You near our seats? The Phillies fan is Scott. His office is next to me at work.

I'd reckon it had more to do with Irvin's stuff...

Not really...209 E on that aisle.  The entire row is empty except for us...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Gallo #200! Lefty lefty too.

[welch]

Joey Homer...not so bad!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

be sure to go into the club. it'll be like watching on TV with concessions.

[NatNasty]

Take away the cold and you'd be in hell

Too old...can't remember crap...especially what it was like to work...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Thomas 2 for 2 with a double hitting leadoff.

Hmmm . . .

Just saying.
