PhilaPhans

Alvarado dispatches the Astros in the 9th.

No drama whatsoever.

Phillies beat two very very good starting pitchers this week who were mostly on top of their game (especially Kirby)

Thank the pitching and just barely enough clutch hitting for that.

A year ago, we would have had no issue if Alvarado was shot into the sun
Now, arguably, the best reliever in MLB

Above 500 - Yay!

"Need Pache to be OK"

Things I never thought I'd say.

Damn shame about Pache.

Don't like groin injuries.

Sadly has a knee injury - don't know how serious, yet

Great win..Nola terrific. Need Turner bigtime

I know. I was reviewing some posts (or maybe tweets) from this time last year and it was brutal. He is absolutely dialed in now. And he has ice in his veins, which I always thought was the problem with Dominguez as a ninth-inning guy.

Phillies have won 9 of their last 12.

Harper comes back in a couple weeks.

Me likey.

This time next week could be Harper in the lineup; I heard as early as May 5 is on the table, though I won't be sad if it's a week later.
