Harper celebrated @rudedude not watching the game by hitting a HR in the 1st inning -- his 1st since April 18th.

bottom of the 9th, down 2:





heading to extra innings, tied 8-8

Diamondbacks score 3 in the top of the 10th, Fightins score 1 in the bottom of the 10th. smh

What a shame, come all the way back to lose

Alvarado pitched very poorly. That surprised me. Had we got one base runner ahead of Schwarbers HR we win. Tough game to lose.

If only someone (JT) got a hit in the bottom
of the ninth with two men in scoring position, would have been a win.

Looks like @rudedude is the McAndrew Board’s equivalent to Annie Savoy in “Bull Durham.” (She couldn’t get any sex because it might screw up the team’s winning streak.)

So you really believe I haven’t been watching?!

Been watching my Knicks take two from the Celtics. How the Phillies doin’?

Well, well,well.....look at the red hot Phillies. The bats are getting hot as the weather warms and the starting rotation is the best in baseball!!!! Bring on summer!!!!!

Sentiment and nod to Walker acknowledged. That said, didn't initially click why this qualifies as a save considering his entry was apparently in the 7th inning at which time the Phillies already had a 7 run lead...apparently because he "pitched at least 3 innings" despite the lead. Surprisingly, but honestly, had never heard of that LOL.

From when I was a kid watching games, I seem to remember the three-inning save as being more prevalent then. It wasn't common but it wasn't unusual either especially in situations like Walker's. Of course, that was before specialization when there was a role for long relievers. Nowadays if a relief pitcher goes more than one inning it's noteworthy. My guess is the three-inning save was implemented to reward the reliever for pitching 33% of the game. That's a lot of work for a guy to get nothing.

It’s fun watching a ball game in George Steinbrenner Stadium. Wish I could get down there.

Would have been a nice trip to go down to this series in that park.
