The vaunted “mop-portunity” was upon the Phillies as this Sunday dawned. Facing the possibility of taking a four game series from the National, Rob Thomson gave forth his Sunday lineup, one that featured several players getting a rest day. Taijuan Walker was on the hill, so confidence was low that the sweep could actually be completed, yet hope sprang anew with home runs from unlikely sources.
Yet in the end, a strategy taken by the manager time and again caused the team to lose (is there where the sarcasm font is supposed to go?)
Walker was actually not too bad today.
