GDT 5/4/17 Phils at Cubs Eflin vs Lackey

[donaldorc]

Agree. But we were really in every game.

[Patchmk88]

I guess that's what makes it painful to me. We should have won 2 or 3 more of these games.

[EastFallowfield]

Top 3rd

Galvis flies to center, Almora has to battle the sun, but gets it. 1 out.

[EastFallowfield]

Eflin K's, Lackey mowing 'em down.

[EastFallowfield]

Cesar bunts for a hit down 3b line, catcher fields but no play. 1 on, 2 outs.

[donaldorc]

True, but he is up to 46 pitches already and we're onlyi in the third inning.

[EastFallowfield]

Cesar steals 2nd, throw sails very high into right center, of course Cesar doesn't notice and is stuck at 2nd.

[EastFallowfield]

Altherr singles to left, Cesar is able to score just ahead of the throw, 2-1 Them.

[EastFallowfield]

Odubel flies to center, mid 3rd, 2-1 Cubs.

[EastFallowfield]

Bottom 3rd

Now Bryant gets his lucky hit on the ground, broken bat soft grounder thru the nearly empty right side of the infield.

Rizzo grounds to Joseph, they get force at 2nd, but throw goes past/thru Eflin covering. Ball hopped as Galvis threw it from a kneeling position. Runner at 2nd, 1 out.

[EastFallowfield]

Russell out 5-3, Rizzo holds at 2nd, 2 outs.

[EastFallowfield]

Montero out 4-3, end 3, 2-1 Cubs.

[donaldorc]

A one pitch out. That's what the dr. ordered.

[donaldorc]

Ding, ding, ding!

[EastFallowfield]

Top 4th

Franco, long drive, deep left field that ball is OUTTA HERE, home run Maikel Jack Franco, and we're tied at 2.

[Patchmk88]

Franco is seeing the ball better again!

[EastFallowfield]

Franco hitting ball hard a lot, lot of bad luck (look it up).

Saunders flies to center, 1 out.

[EastFallowfield]

Joseph HBP on his back, 1 on, 1 out.

[EastFallowfield]

Rupp half swing K, 2 outs.

[EastFallowfield]
