Every pitcher is gonna give up runs but I'm still dumbfounded by Nola's propensity y to give up home runs outta nowhere.

[wrench248]

Schwellenbach having the same success he has against the Phillies all season.

Lets see if second time through lineup can get some better swings.

[wrench248]

Castellanos can't help himself. Harper gets a single and the moron immediately swings at the first pitch that is closer to the dirt than the strike zone for the easy double play.

[Moviephreak]

Castellanos the momentum killer. Desperation swing at the first pitch and grounds into the double play.

[wrench248]

I can’t believe day in and day out, these hitters continue to chase off speed pitches. The league has adapted and is throwing them less fastballs. Not a single hitter on the Phillies has made any adjustment and they still continue to swing away at crap out of the zone.

For the supposed talent on this roster, the offensive ineptitude over the past 3 months is unacceptable

[BelmontShore]

Wow. Castellanos continues to come through.

Really remarkable.

New game. 2-2.

[wrench248]

Castellanos comes up big.

2 RBI double. 2-2

[Moviephreak]

Of course, as soon as we're done bashing Castellanos, he smacks a double and ties the game.

[BelmontShore]

They can look dead in the water.

Then, all of a sudden, they break out.

I just don't know how this works in a deep playoff run.
