    He only went 5+ but I was happy with Aaron Nola’s fight tonight. Good to see.

    I think last night was the first time I've ever seen the Phanatic wear a powder blue jersey.

    Also congrats to Media, PA in advancing the LLWS. Only about a 3 hour drive to Williamsport for them.

    Tried for Union vs Messi tickets at the 2pm drop today.  Was in the queue but didn't get them.  Not sure I would have gone but they are going for a grand each for good seats.  Dizzam.

    Yeah it will be pretty cool to see Delco represent in Williamsport this year. 

    Folks, I gotta be honest..I'm kind of done with the powder blue jerseys. They looked better when it was switched to gray in '89.

    Alumni Weekend is always awesome. Phils do such a great job of honoring their history.

    My biggest problem with the powder blues is they're road unis.

    Did not foresee losing 2 of 3 to the Twins. And enough with Jake fucking Cave.

    That old logo and maroonish color is great though plus I love the home pinstripes--they should wear those since, as JP point out, the blues are away uniforms anyway.

    Bad weekend. I will take a 6-4 homestand though. 

    It's cliche to complain about the umps, but come on. The Bohm at bat was a travesty.

    At that point - 3-2 count, 2 outs, base loaded, the umpire just has to get that call right. Ridiculous. Bring on the robots - these guys are horrible.

    And they would have been down one With Harper coming up in that situation. Completely altered  the landscape of that game. 

    They should at least be able to challenge balls and strikes

    Nah just get rid of them. So many jobs have been replaced by technology. I don't see why home plate umpires are exempt from being replaced.

    Pretty sure they're already doing this in the minors?

    I'd think it would be hard to get rid of them since they have a union though, right?

    I should clarify, don't get rid of them, but the home plate umpire shouldn't be calling balls and strikes. As they've tested out in the minor leagues, just have someone in the booth monitoring the "box" that represents the strike zone, and he can be in the home plate umpire's ear to tell him to call a ball or strike.

    Have the umpires keep doing what they do but give teams 3 ball/strike challenges per game. The review should be instant and on the scoreboard, like line calls in tennis. If you get all 3 right you can keep challenging until you get one wrong.

    I'm here solving all the world's problems, tip your waitresses.

    A friend of mine just told me today that he read that the Robo ump is 98% accurate on Balls & Strikes in the Minor Leagues.

    So does the home plate umpire just do check swings and other "out" calls?I could see that working in the majors.

    Phills needed a day off. I think they have another one on Thursday as well. Should be a good series against Toronto.

    3 game losing streaks suck but when you log onto twitter it's as if the sky is falling, again. 2nd best record over last 3 months or something. They'll right the ship. Go Phils.
