    I generally watch with the sound down, but I do like Bill Brown.

    After 3 innings of relief, Astros relievers have thrown 37 pitches. Phillies relievers 80 (not a typo).

    Phillies relievers are one strikeout pitcher after another.

    So the relief pitchers have combined for 9 innings and 2 hits allowed, with 12Ks in 5 innings for the Phils. That Bastardo lives up to his name.

    I'm sure our team is ready for a rest over 4 1/2 hours in. Hopefully Singleton can win the game for us and make this watch worth my while.

    EDIT: my predictive abilities are gone, unless Singleton bats again (which is very possible).

    I just don't get it.

    Why don't our batters have some patience?

    I think our players are extending the game to keep the visiting chef working.

    I hope we win tonight (or in the morning, whenever it gets done)

    And I know that 16 K's is not close to a record

    But we have had 10 different guys strike out at least once, wonder what the record is for that? Tried to look it up with no luck

    Keuchel was really good tonight, or last night, or whenever it was he pitched last

    No patience? Even with an 8 pitch 14th inning, the Phillies relievers have thrown 130+ pitches in 7 innings.

    The record for strikeouts by a team in an extra inning game is 26. I don't think we'll get that, thankfully. Our situation is bleak.
