[EastFallowfield]

Braves swept by Rockies at home in a 4 game series, so we start the game in first place tie.

[andyb]

Knapp added as 26th man for the day. Off day tomorrow so less need for an extra pitcher I guess.

[Lucky_Beagle]

Lawn Chairs were lining the banks of the dike outside Bowman field when I drove by at 3:30. It's about the only way local people can see the game. But that's a different story!

[Lucky_Beagle]

Knapp added as 26th man for the day. Off day tomorrow s

Why is an extra player added for today?

[EastFallowfield]

Why is an extra player added for today?

Haven't found a reason, just that MLB allows the teams to do it. St Louis added Piscotty last year and he actually started. Some sort of a union negotiation?

[zambonir]

I imagine it is a perk for the extra travel involved for both teams. If the union had anything to do with it, then sure, they got two of their members an extra day of service time too.

[EastFallowfield]

Phils flew in, that's gotta be a crazy short flight.

Funny, I would have thought the early game yesterday was so they could get out of town but I guess neither team wanted to stay in Williamsport's finest hotel.

Mets flew to Philly from Baltimore on Wednesday, presumably because of the day game/doubleheader.

[LoneStarPhan]

Although you never can rely on it, the pitching matchups tonight are more favorable for the Phillies.

Should be a fun night for the players who seem to have enjoyed the afternoon. At least, I've seen enough social media posts to suggest that.

[schooldoc]

Important game for the Phils tonight. Chance to win the series and, more importantly, take back first place as they head on the road to Washington and Toronto.

Let's get this one...
