The Dodgers are having nice at-bats against Cole and driving up his pitch count.
We all know when Cole is really on, he gets a lot of swings and misses. But he's not on tonight because the Dodgers are fouling off a lot of pitches.
Remember the Dodgers had the best record in the National League so they're not going down easily. The Phillies are going to have to bury them and put together some more run-scoring innings.
By the way, congrats to Chase Utley for tying Boog Powell's major league record of reaching base in 25 straight postseason games.
I am getting a good vibe from this game so far.
Still a long way to go and not counting chickens before they hatch or putting the cart before the horse. lol.
Loney and Ethier have had the best at-bats tonight.
This will be Padilla's last inning of work.
