Bohm, quite frankly, is the Phillies best hitter.

Even if he isn't always the hitteenwith the highest BA, his approach, his mechanics, are top notch. He consistently will stay inside the baseball and drive that ball into the alley.

It's a beautiful thing.

Sanchez is getting hit around. Phillies offense will need to wake up

[wrench248]

Phillies hitters should take notes on the diamondbacks hitters’ approach. They are infinitely better than most of the Phillies hitters.

Looking like the Phillies will drop 3/4 here

A 4-6 road-trip and the collapse is on.

[BelmontShore]

The Diamondbacks just have their number, man.

Don't know what it is about this team.

Thomson better get the pen warmed up. Sanchez doesn’t have it.

They’re the better team. It’s that simple

[wrench248]

Fucking sloppy by JT there.

The biggest difference is strike zone judgment.

Opposing pitchers don't have to throw strikes to get Phillies' hitters out. Opposing hitters only swing at strikes.
