I thought their defense was supposed to, like, suck or something?

And right on cue…
Stop trying to pull everything, Mancini.
Damn
Not even competitive
3 pitches? Why are you even batting right now???
Bottom 8.
Suarez pitching.
Bregman - bounces up the middle 1-3.
Tucker - fouls off inside sinker (breaks bat), fouls off another sinker, cutter low, lines FB to right. Single.
pitching change – Dominguez pitching.
Gurriel - fouls off FB, grounds into 5-4 FC. Tucker out at 2nd, Gurriel safe at first.
Mancini - swings and misses a slider, swings and misses another slide outside, same pitch, same result. K.
End 8. Phillies 5. Astros 5.
That’s entirely on Dusty

Hensley or Diaz have to be the DH the rest of this series. I wish they had a third catcher on the roster so they could use Vazquez in the spot.

Having Mancini bat in that spot is a fireable offense

Mancini has zero business on this roster.

Still walking. Still tied.
It’s like he’s just going to guess fastball until he gets one. And if he never does, he’ll just keep flailing.
Fucking noncompetitive. Sending him up these is conceding the inning.
Ok…9-1-2 for Pressly
You spelt game wrong.
I feel terrible for Mancini because he’s a great guy and a really good player and we all saw how elated he was after the trade and so on, but goddamn, man, just stop.

If he gets one he’s not swinging. Nola gave him a fat one and he watched it go by
You would think somebody would show him that he’s become Crawford Boxes’ happy. But, it’s far too late for that.
This ump…
Astros looking like a team afraid to win.
