Rescheduled game from tomorrow, so attendance is likely to be low. Weather may not cooperate, either.

Lots of Terra logos out there.

Game

[Dave in Fairfax]

Nice catch by the fan.

Bad pitch by the professional.

[Dave in Fairfax]

1st inning and the pitching coach already has to come out for a visit.

Drink!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

good thing we have so many base runners that we can waste a couple against Realmuto.

Do you suppose they have a book on the Phillies?  Do you suppose somebody from the Phillies snuck into the clubhouse and swapped copies?

If Robles were a good base runner he'd have value on both sides.  As only a late inning defensive substitute it's  not sustainable.

Nice piece of hitting by Jayson Werth Jr.

Phillies clinch a playoff spot with a sweep and a Milwaukee loss tonight. Let’s hope the brewers game ends after ours

If we can play spoiler with the Phils, the season is a success

hard to sweep tonight.  Easier to mop up.

They’re magic number is 6 coming into todays games. So they would need a 4 game sweep and two Milwaukee losses.

not quite.  Their magic number now is is 6 because they have a tie-breaker.  It's a 162 game season, so 2 Phillies win and a Milwaukee loss only lowers the number to 3 (85 P wins and 74 M losses).

[JCA-CrystalCity]

LOO-EES!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

LOO-EES!

saved by the backswing.

[welch]

I missed the start-time. Looks like Fedde was a effective as usual.

[welch]

Abrams with a hit!

Brain fart. I thought this was the last series of the season. Wishful thinking I guess.
