[HopeSpringsEternal]

Decent Phillies debut for Walker Buehler. I think I’d trust him in a long relief role in the postseason over Taijuan Walker (but SSS, so may need to see more).

[Docs]

Nice five inning set for walker

[kikutaro]

Max Kepler

Called strike (83.9 mph knuckle curve)
Ball (92.8 mph sinker)
In play, no out (86.4 mph slider)

Max Kepler singles on a line drive to center fielder Kyle Isbel.

[zambonir]

Probably wouldn't feel that way if he'd pitched for us for the last two years.

Also probably doesn't matter. Buehler' World Series history is a lot higher-leverage. If we need long relievers we're already in a bad spot.

[kikutaro]

Called strike (94.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball in dirt (83.8 mph knuckle curve)
