Game two of a four-game series against the Pirates! Friday night! Baseball!
Gametime: 7:05 p.m.
The lineup:
- Hernandez – 2B
- Santana – 1B
- Herrera – CF
- Hoskins – LF
- Altherr – RF
- Knapp – C
- Franco – 3B
- Lively – P
- Crawford – SS
Pitchers: Ben Lively (0-1, 5.87 ERA) vs. Ivan Nova (2-1, 4.88 ERA)
Why do I get the feeling that a lot of runs will be scored tonight? Andrew Knapp is in for a scuffling Jorge Alfaro, and he’s up in the six-hole, which is interesting, but probably more to get a lefty option a little higher in the lineup. At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
Your Gameday Beer: While Ivan Nova is Dominican, the name Ivan is most synonymous with Russian tsars. So, yeah, let’s go with a Russian imperial stout. How’s Dark Lord from 3 Floyds? It’s a good one, folks. Grab your finest imperial from the beer fridge for tonight’s game. Chill out and enjoy.
Go Phillies!
