Phillies Fans’ Response to Dan Uggla’s Grand Slam.
Yes, I viewed this game. Dom Brown hit a 3 run HR to go ahead in the 8th, 6-5. Rosenberg had just gave up 3 back to back HR’s in relief in the 8th. No pitcher since 1914 had allowed home runs to the only three batters?
Papelbon wasn’t available to close since he pitched 3 previous games. Really, making $13M in 2014, can’t close? He only pitched 3 innings in 3 days. Enter Diekman. He loads the bases.
The Braves Uggla (the Phillie killer) hits a Grand Slam to ruin the Phillies win.
Braves 9-6.
Enough said, but this game hurt this Phillies fan. ( I was texting my cousin Marjorie during the 8th until the end of game, another die-hard)
Bring back Charlie.
