Phillies tie up series vs Reds yesterday, look to win series today!
The Phillies had a great team win yesterday. Ranger Suárez was solid for the Phillies like usual. The Phillies took him out after about 85 pitches and five innings of work though to prevent from overworking him which makes sense since last season he fizzled out in the second half of the year in a substantial way. He's earned a lighter outing and for once the Phillies helped him out! Four different pitchers came in from the bullpen, and all four pitched a clean solo inning, big shoutout to Romano, Banks, Kerkering, and Strahm. The Phillies won by a score of 5-1 where three different Phillies homered! Edmundo Sosa hit his 3rd, Alec Bohm hit his 8th, and Kyle Schwarber hit his 27th. Shoutout to Alec Bohm he's been really good the past two months.
So yeah, yesterday had great pitching, and great power from the batting order. Pretty good deal.
Today the Phillies look to go 16 games over .500. The Mets are still right on the Phillies tail though in the NL East and tomorrow the Phillies head west after this current home stretch so, there's a lot to play for! Games starting to get more and more crucial! Wheeler on the mound now!

not truly related to your post but I am curious about how you feel about Pete Rose and the hall of fame?
I think I lean towards inducting him but I'm not too passionate about the topic. Nobody is perfect and he messed up. If information/evidence is correct from what I understand he bet on the Reds and not against them so if that's true it's not quite as bad. Idk. Also, if they induct suspected steroid users, or EVER induct a confirmed user Rose should def be in. Additionally, if the baseball community deep down thinks they'll induct him after he passes, might as well induct him NOW while he can be there for the ceremony. Finally, his stats are stunning and he was banned a very long time already. All in all, I think yes put the guy in. I don't know all the details of the betting and I wasn't alive in his playing days but yeah. I lean towards putting him in.
