Walker bats right-handed a little bit. Nice.

Let's break it open.

Does this poor man ever take a good picture?? LOL!

Icing Conforto

[Edgy MD]

Good early opportunity to let Conforto prove himself against a lefty.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I like Walker so far.

[Edgy MD]

Well, he had the Conforto swinging with one hand, but the ball had a little too much plate.

Offense.

[Frayed Knot]

Walker & Conforto have the majority of this team's RBIs so far this season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

How many RBI was that, Team Conforto?

Stairs is a bit like Keith, not your classic smooth announcer type but very knowledgable on hitting and, IMO, a pretty good listen.
Also he's originally from Nova Scotia (an oddity in itself) and lived in Maine during his off-seasons where he'd spend his winters coaching HS ice hockey.

Point of clarification: It WAS De Aza initially announced. Then, once the Phils called for a lefty, Terry went to Wilma.

[Zvon]

On the whole Wright has been playing a great 3rd base. Back schmack. Even that errant throw was played nicely. Probably will cost us a run though.

[Zvon]

7-2 New Yorkers

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And there's that run.

Hansel is so flat right now.

[Edgy MD]

Quick pitch this guy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yay! Fundies!

I'm watching with the sound way down: Was that an infield fly rule double play???

[Guest cooby classic]

Yep!

[Edgy MD]

Wright lost the popup in the wind, and the runner, not realizing the batter was out anyway, broke for second.

Blevins magic.

Yup!

I pulled that off intentionally once or twice during softball games where I'd "miss" the pop-up and fool one of the runners who didn't know the rule ... but I'm not sure I've ever seen that in a ML game.

[Edgy MD]

Erik Goeddel's brother comes out to play the outfield for the Phillies.

[Guest cooby classic]

I've seen it in Little League once or twice

[Zvon]

Cespedes only wears the neck part of the turtle neck so we can still see his bling. How thoughtful

[Edgy MD]

Was that marathon they just showed with a pair o' ginger-haired twins on his lap?

[Guest cooby classic]

Oh I hope!

This is fun! I'm watching with four of my cats (they are watching with their eyes closed)

[Zvon]

Bastardo is not fooling me but he's certainly fooling them. K's two in a row.

[Frayed Knot]

And there was much rejoicing!!
