Been looking forward to the series with the Braves. The rivalry is a great one and we should expect to be fighting them to the end.
Shutout ball from Ranger. Could have been more efficient, but the Braves' lineup is that strong. Lotta pitches, too - maybe the situation forced that, but looking at last year, there's reason to be concerned about his long outings.
The way Harper showed the pain when he was hit made me think broken bone for sure and the season lost - seemed to take a long time to get the good news.
I prefer Kruk in the booth. Has nearly zero media-style presence, just acts himself, huge fan. When there's TWO former Phils in the press box, it gets even better as it did recently with Hamels and Schmidt.
The Phils have the right idea with the ball girls, too - they can play and chase quickly. Contrast SF's preference for seasoned citizens.
