Phillies 3-8-3
Marlins 2-8-0

W-Lively (2-5)
L-Dispagne (0-2)
Save-Neris (17)

No home runs today. Key hit was by Lively, a 2 run single to give the Phillies a 3-1 lead back in the 3rd, the inning the Phillies scored all three of their runs.

Hoskins goes 1 for 3 with a walk. Hernadez and Galvis had two hits each, each with a double.

All the way as in the original true meaning of the phase as often used back in the golden era of Phillies broadcasting.

A neighbor came over and I missed the 9th inning. Glad I did!

So I log on to read the game day thread this morning and I got a whole Bot of nonsense.

Lively is frustrating, those first two innings were scary, then he settled down.
He has a "live" 92 MPH FB and flashes a good breaking ball, teach him a better changeup and you have a keeper.
But his command is spotty, like a lot of Phillies pitchers.

I want to replace McClure with a PC who can teach young pitchers how to be more consistent.
Klentak is already focused on that with his draft, the one thing Howard and Seabold had in common was above average command.

Now if someone could teach Neris that "wild thing" is not the guy you want to emulate!

It's robot poetry. It takes a while to get used to.

The bot gets its info from ESPN. If ESPNs feed gets messed up then it messes up the bot. I used to use ESPN for my linescores and it seemed to mess up at least once a week and would throw me off.

So its not kikitaro's bot thats the problem, but the coding of how ever the info gets on ESPN thats the issue.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and free is free.

I hope most of you realize I was trying to be funny with a pun in my post. I am so grateful for the game day threads, living in Europe where game time is way past my bedtime.

FWIW, I thought your post was funny, and (attempted to) respond in kind.
