    Lol. I don’t see that many.. His worst **** up was the other day. He is actually above average at picking the ball imo. What you’re saying is that a bunch of grounders are going between Singleton and Altuve every game and it’s because Singleton can’t get to them. I just don’t think that scenario happens all that much.

    Should have been on an extremely short leash...it was obvious he'd lost it.

    Okay now Blanco needs to be taken out. Hope Neris doesn't give up a big hit here.

    Teams should be deducted runs for the idiotic gestures their base runners do when they get on base

    Holding this Phillies lineup to 2 runs in 6 is great (just like the starters dominating a great lineup like Baltimore for 4 straight games).

    Doesnt’ look like Ronel will get through 6 though.

    5 2/3 innings for another night in a tough spot.

    Espada still doesn’t know how to manage a bullpen

    No reason not to bring him back out, but the minute he's in trouble you have a guy ready to come in.

    I thought Espada learned this 2 months ago?

    You gotta have your finger on the pulse there.
    No excuse with the bullpen we have.

    Should've never run Blanco back out there this inning. He was sitting at about 80 pitches and going through the order for the 3rd time. The results have been quite predictable to everybody but Espada.
