Why the HELL waste him in a low leverage situation. IF they were to score, it might make sense to try and get a second inning out him. However, given he spent almost the entire year OUT, maybe 1 inning saves is the way to go, and using him in a nothing 8th inning makes no sense

What a game .... thank god the Phils didn't do a replay on that missed home plate.
Why? He went back and touched it, they still didn't have the ball, so what possible difference would a replay have meant

I think Roberts realized how big this game was. If Phillies win that means they have to travel back east into a hostile environment....I thought he actually should have thrown him another inning..

no surprise he was the MVP on this series
