After Danys Baez pitched 5 shutout innings out of the bullpen, the PHILLIES 4-1 had no more pitchers going into the 19th inning .......... so they called on 2nd Baseman Wilson Valdez to pitch a scoreless inning, so his teammates could win it with a sacrfice fly in the bottom half of the inning.

Fixed that for you.

Baez went five scoreless....that means I could have gotten guys on the Reds out last night. They'll start swinging the bats better soon!

Honestly though, I love games like these. Wilson Valdez has more wins than any of us will ever have in MLB. He'll have a great story to tell his grandkids.

Did anyone else see the end of the game? I was about to go to bed and noticed this game on in the 18th inning and decided to watch.

Valdez was naturally a little wild, but the guys in the booth were impressed by the fact that he was throwing 87-89 mph with his fastball throughout the inning. It was probably a combination of fatigue and the hopes of clobbering a non-pitcher, but it seemed to me the Reds batters in that inning were all swinging for the fences. All three of the outs took mighty swings and hit pop-ups.

Well, Votto's pop up went to the warning track in center. I thought he hit it out when it left the bat. It was a great ending, though, especially with that poor Reds reliever throwing 90 pitches in his first game up in the majors this year.

Actually, it was his 4th appearance in the majors this year...... but as to your point, his (Carlos Fisher) overall statistics actually look great, and I'm sure that he impressed his manager with 5.67 innings of shutout ball in crunch time (extra innings) before the winning run scored on the sac fly. His ERA for the season is now 0.87, and I'm guessing that his gutty performance garnered a lot of respect from both his teammates and his manager. :)

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
