Counterpoint: you have to believe that you’re closer won’t walk a man. I think they said that was only his 4th walk as a Phillie

[Vanimal46]

Dodgers decided they had 15 SPs signed entering the season let’s pitch all of them now 

[mrtwinsfan]

Philly--- no one to blame except there Hitting this game

Strong disagree. Your can't give up a run on a walk with a base open. You can this way.

Does LA grow these pitchers in a field out there in their lovely climate?  It's just a parade of great arms year after year.

So. That is EXACTLY why they traded for him. To handle AND succeed in that spot. Relief by definition. Great 8th though.  

[h2oface]

REAL baseball in extras!

[Aggies7]

How terrible would it be to have the manfred rule for the postseason

They also got Harper to not hit .200 in the playoffs. Baseball is hard

Exactly. But it doesn’t mean that one should acknowledge walking in a run by any pitcher as acceptable or even an excuse. But shrugging the tough spot is OK if it works for someone. Heroes step up, especially in the playoffs. A blown save was this result, and it was only on Duran and not batter heroics, unless not swinging is considered heroic, which it may be. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Wow==   last chance Phillies 

[Vanimal46]

Was Luzardo going to be the game 5 starter for Philly? Gotta throw the kitchen sink tonight in an elimination game 

[Vanimal46]

Funny how LH on LH matchups are thrown out the window in the playoffs eh?

[h2oface]

Umpires……..   Schwarber is pissed! Wasn’t even kinda close.
