Postgame: Bullpen Better Than Masterful in 4-3 Victory Over Phillies To Open Series

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah Buddy!

[FishFanInPA]

I really like it when I don't have to worry about the middle innings. Vazquez did just enough to keep us in it.

[Bobbob1313]

I'm worried about Vazquez. Was his velocity good, at least?

[MiamiHomer]

No, 87 was his highest that I recall.

[Party]

Stayed in the mid 80s all night. He can't even spot the fastball. His most consistent pitch all year has been his slow rolling curveball.

[Chewford]

We have secured a winning record on this road trip no matter what happens henceforth. I approve of this road trip.

[Madman81]

LoMo really saved the game there in the 9th with those awesome catches

[Branch]

Were they really awesome, madman? What more proof can you offer other than your puny EYEBALLS?

EH??!?!?

[Party]

MiamiHomer, I believe the word you were looking for is orgasmic.

[Todd]

FIP, the biggest dipshit around, called me an idiot in the game thread. Cool.

This was probably the worst his velocity has been all year. I don't think he touched 90 once, and was more 86-87 on average.

More worrisome is that his control sucks as much as his velocity.

And 10 flyball outs to 2 groundball outs. Thank God the wind seemed to be blowing in tonight.

Statistically speaking, our bullpen is just awesome, right now. After tonight, I'm guessing it's the best bullpen ERA in the big leagues after 13 games.

Do you speak from personal experience?

[Branch]

He does not!

OK I'll leave now.

That's reserved for when they don't even allow balls in play.

I recall 4-5 flyballs on or near the warning track.
