"Walk"

Guess Nick Mahrley has money on the Tigers tonight because he has been squeezing Cristopher Sanchez the past couple of innings. #Phillies

A perfect throw and a perfect tag

Tigers are bringing in a lefty and Phillies will not pinch-hit for Marsh, but will pinch-hit for Kepler. Bader on deck.

It's Alumni Weekend, so Ben Revere is shooting hot dogs at people with the Phanatic. It's 1-0 Phillies through five.

White hot Kyle Stowers...

Contemplating whether it's time to pitch the "well, here's what has to happen for the Marlins to make the playoffs" headline

I’ve talked to a few people here in Italy who said they had cancelled plans to go to the US.
