I missed the game tonight. I see that Tommy won, so that's nice to see, and Philly going down always makes for a good night.

1:05 game tomorrow so hopefully Lowe and the bats take care of business.

Pitchers duel today, no score headed to the 7th. Wandy Rodriguez taking a page from Brett Myers philosophy last night. Throw a lot of breaking balls, of the 100+ pitches Myers threw last night, about 65-75 of them were breaking balls. During one AB to Hinske, Myers threw 5 consecutive curve balls.

McCann pinch hits in the 9th with 2 outs, works a 1-2 count, sends one deep to CF. Game tied up at 1-1. The AB before, Pence robbed Hinske with a jumping catch at the RF wall.

Great overall game.

Brian McCann was unbelievable.

Nemesis21 · Post #17 » by **Nemesis21** » Wed May 18, 2011 6:35 am

Mac became the 2nd player in MLB history to hit a pinch hit HR to tie a game in the 9th, and hit a walk off HR in extra innings in the same game. The other was also a Brave, Jeff Heath of the Boston Braves.
