Tough night. Hanson, O'F, and Medlen all stunk it up.

Gonna go with O'F. Lost the lead before he got a guy out.

I started watching the game in the 5th, so I didn't see Hanson, but he probably deserves the GOTG. But I'm going with Kimbrel. He walked the first man on four pitches, and got a gift on that strikeout of Victorino. It could have been a bigger inning for the Phills.

Yeah, O'Flaherty. 2 run lead there and he blows it... to Ruiz (the Devil)

Hanson, but there was some good in his start. According to Fangraphs his fastball was the quickest its been so far this season (and tomorrow Brooks will probably have his average for the season close to last years since they've been correcting for the two seamer properly while fan graphs hasn't). It reminded me of when he first came up in that the stuff was there but he couldn't stay on top of the ball. So, GOTG but not discouragingly so.

That's good to hear. The very few times I paid attention to the speed of his pitches I saw 89 each time. But that was 2 or 3 pitches.

Fangraphs is wrong. I watched the whole game and Tommy may have hit 90 2 or 3 times at most. He was mostly 88-89.

Bourn, Prado, Freeman, Uggla, Heyward, Francisco, and Pastornicky.

7 way tie. I wasn't going to include Freeman, because he got a hit, but then again, he did pop out on the first pitch when he was leading off an inning when we were down by two....

I was premature. Take Bourn off my list.

So, it's Prado, Freeman, Uggla, Heyward, Francisco and Pastornicky.

6 way tie.
