Jerad Eickhoff, like Adam Morgan and Alec Asher before him, did not have a good start in Boston.
This is the most late-season baseball tweet:
We're in the bottom of the 8th inning in Boston, and the Red Sox lead 6-1. Luis Garcia is in to pitch for the #Phillies.

It's late in the game; the Phillies are losing by an unmanageable margin; Luis Garcia is on his way in; at this point, we're just laying out clear-cut exposition: We're playing this game because the commissioner says we can't just put on a rerun of some loss from 1997, was the official word from Phillies HQ, I was told.
