A Phillie Killer is Born: Marlins 8, Phillies 4

Admit it - the thought crossed your mind last night, right? That nasty little brainworm that crawls into your head when the Phillies score double-digit runs. You know exactly what I mean.

“They’re not gonna score a single run tomorrow.”

Well, they didn’t quite fall that flat but they didn’t exactly save much ammo for Tuesday night either. Add in a career night for the Marlins’ biggest offseason acquisition, more poor baserunning and a timely missed call and you have the makings of an 8-4 Phils loss at the hands of the Fish.

In the 2nd inning, our old buddy Jimmy Cigs proved that he will always be one of us by making a hilarious baserunning blunder, seemingly losing track of a single to center that was bobbled by Christian Pache who nailed Segura at second by a good twenty feet or so:
