Phillies offense doing pretty well so far this game but the strikeouts continue to be a concern at least to me. So far, 15 Ks by Phillies at the plate today. Alfaro has wiffed 3 times.

...and Santana makes it #16.
I know an out is an out except it really isn't. Put the ball in play and multiple things can happen.

Final
Yes. I just came home and watched video replay. Crawford had a great jump. He was almost at 2nd by the time the ball was out of the IF. Pirates 2B handled the replay and wasn't focused on him. Wasn't even close at the plate.
Had ‘em all the way, Harry! Trust the Process!
Arrieta looking really good tonight going a very strong 7 innings.
A great way to start the homestand. Winning is fun.
On the other hand if you get called out taking a borderline pitch some of those pitches will result in walks that might otherwise have resulted in weak outs. I think the early evidence is encouraging that their philosophy has resulted in many big innings and a plus offensive performance.
JP would have scored even if the guy made the relay quickly and threw a strike. He was running on the pitch and flying! Enjoy
