Yes. Hope Hicks is ok. Obviously if he has to go on IL would think McKenna is back. 

Yuck. Would rather have Stowers than McKenna. He can't play center, but if Hays can, then shift him over to spot Cowser as needed. Could be a blessing if this gets Cowser in the lineup every day enough to find his groove by playoffs.

It was a late slide, that's why his foot kicked off of the bag so high. Plenty of videos on the internet if you would like to view them yourselves. Of course, he was trying to break up the DP, I do not think it was intentional but sliding that late, bad things happen.

Yes, poor form and risky, but not trying to hurt anyone. I believe we would want our guys to play the game the same way.

Who closes tonight if it stays close

If Schwarber and Harper are due up in the 9th Perez might be good.

Westburg is quietly killing it defensively.

Not sure I would like Colton as the long-term CFer. Glad we have a bunch of other guys in the org who can play there.

One plus was that he hit the cut off man. So many times, we don't see that.

That pic is BS. Dudes foot hit the bag and then popped up and caught Mateo in the shin. 
 

You’re also not seeing the baserunner try to catch Mateo on the way down and apologize to him. 
 

But hey, let’s all believe that he got spiked intentionally because….why?

I don't need to see video, in fact, I didn't even need to see the picture to know that is bush league. I know the situation, runner trying to break up the double play. That's not the right way to do it. Of course he would apologize after the fact. He doesn't want to take a fastball to the ribs.

I guaranteed to my wife that someone would say this in the game thread.  

[eddie83]

I assume Realmuto is like Adley? Just a day off. 
 

Phils have a heck of a bench tonight. JT, Bohm and Marsh.

The secret sauce of this Orioles team is clutch defense.

[Roy Firestone]

Cowser still struggling...

You in love with Frazier?  I will have to remember never say anything against Frazier for you and never against Mountcastle for Can of Corn.  

Anyone else have a favorite....tell me now.
