Matt Vierling will start in center field in Game 1. Cardinals are starting lefty José Quintana.
Vierling against lefties this year: .760 OPS in 135 PA
Marsh against lefties this year: .486 OPS in 105 PA
Have to reluctantly agree with this move.
I want to give Marsh a full shot next year, but the biggest factor for him will be making enough progess that he's not an automatic out vs. LHP
Probably going to be 2/3 Lefties in the series if it goes 3
I am very worried that the offense is going to be non-existent.
Phillies with an awful September finishing the season on a 10 game road trip where they went 4-6, and just enough to clinch. Then right off to St. Louis.
These boys are beat. As much as I would like to see them make this a competitive three game series I think the Cardinals blow them out in 2. Hope I am wrong.
Absolutely do not understand Kyle Gibson as the 13th pitcher on the wild-card roster. It's three games. He's trash right now. Would have rather had one more bat. This is entirely a move made so they don't hurt a guy's feelings. Stupid.
