[quote name='tcrash247']Last night during the Braves-Phillies game, the Phils announcers kept talking about the strikeouts and were going crazy over them. Sure, it's great he had 16 Ks but he lost. In my eyes, everything is moot unless you win, I'd much rather have that than 16 Ks, especially against the Braves.
Lowe did look really sharp last night, too bad he had to come out with that foot problem, he was pitching a fantastic game. Props to that reliever after him that held the Phils to 2nd and 3rd with no outs too.
I want them to throw Baez out their bus window while driving over a bridge. Guy is
ing garbage. Hopefully the Phils extended bullpen game today goes ok, Kendrick has been really good out of the pen so I think he can give them 3-4 solid innings. Just keep Baez far away from this one unless we're getting crushed.[/QUOTE]
16 Ks is pretty ridiculous. The max amount of outs he can have in 7 innings is 21 and he had 16 of them by strikeout. He can't win the game if his team doesn't score him any runs. Also with Lowe, he would have came out any way. Even if he pitched through the seventh he would have been done. Its a shock if Lowe goes more than 6 these days. Once he reaches that 100 pitch mark he gets pulled pretty quickly.
