Ugh, top of the 5th, Fightins get guys on 2nd & 3rd with no out. Schwarber with a long at-bat, but he struck out on a nice pitch (fastball, just outside the zone, that he couldn't take with 2 strikes), then Harper pops out to short right field on the 1st pitch. Then Marsh gets a strike on him because he wasn't addressing the pitcher in time (seemed weak), then he took the next pitch for a strike, and then struck out on a slider (I think) that was low and outside. How do you not score a run there when your 2, 3, and 4 hitters are at the plate?
After blowing a bunch of opportunities to tack on more runs, JT goes yard for a solo HR against Kershaw in the top of the 8th.
4-1, Fightins, with runners on 2nd & 3rd, and 1 out.
And Turner with a single, to make it 6-1.

The Phillies have been a streaky team so hopefully this begins a long streak.
Now bring it back to the bank
Instant observations: Kyle Schwarber, Phillies come alive to win Game 3, extend NLDS vs. Dodgers
Kyle Schwarber homered twice, Ranger Suárez was aces in relief, and the Phillies are still breathing.

Now THAT is what the top of the lineup should look like…..
With where that ball landed, he had time to stop and tie his shoes.
I rarely watch any of the network pre/post game shows. I saw some of the TBS postgame last night and never realized Jimmy Rollins was in their studio. Dude does an excellent job.
...and the Flyers open their season against the Stanley Cup champs. Is it too much to ask for a sweep tonight?
And then Andrew Painter becomes the next homegrown beast in the playoffs the next six years.
I can dream.
