After a comedy of errors in the top of the first, Harper hits a two run homer.

Harper finding his power stroke is huge.

[BelmontShore]

Schwarber still refuses to change his 2 strike approach and still swings for the fences. He could have put that slider in play to LF but the bathead got out front.

[BelmontShore]

Walker fucks around walking a dude with 2 outs to face Pederson who is killing the Phillies.and now they trail, 3-2. Why would you walk a RHer to face Pederson, a LHer.

By the way, Pederson shows what happens when you swing appropriately for the pitch count.

[Lipschitz]

Castellanos just doesn't get on base enough.

[BelmontShore]

No home runs, no offense.

[Lipschitz]

Castellanos is going to blow past his career worst in strikeouts.

[BelmontShore]

Castellanos didn't swing at a single strike, just waving at shit not even close to the plate.

[bigel57]

Castellanos didn't swing at a single strike, just waving at shit not even close to the plate.

And now he blows a an easy out by not communicating with Marsh
These team is terrible at basic fundamental baseball. That is on coaching
This has to change next year

[wrench248]

So many swings for the fence.

Like clockwork for this offense
