Tuesday September 21: a bullpen game in Philly on the last full day of summer

[Il BuonO]

I don’t like Girardi, but that’s a good move. 

[SilverRocket]

Actually going with Valdez? I don't know if I like this.

[SteveA]

Here we go.  Valdez trying to get a save.

[Frobby]

Not thrilled to see Valdez here.

I told ya, there’s a plan.

Alternatives are:

Wells for a second inning on his 2nd straight night 

Sulser for his 3rd straight night 

Kriske 

Baumann (normally a starter, pitched 3 days ago so on "short" rest, and probably being saved for some bulk innings after Akin tomorrow.

Not a lot of good choices.

I know you didn’t mean to be funny, but I had to laugh.

[Il BuonO]

That’s some funky stance....

[Frobby]

Nice pick by Martin there.  

[Il BuonO]

Still gotta bring ‘em in. 

[Il BuonO]

Real tough hop, though. 

[luismatos4prez]

Nice play by Martin. Great K by Valdez!

[Il BuonO]

Thanks, Jean. 

[SteveA]

Wow!  Huge K.

Awful at bat by Segura.

[Frobby]

Wow that was a terrible at bat there by Segura.
 

And good decision to skip Harper.   Not that Realmuto Is any piece of cake.
