[zambonir]

Not sure why I'm watching at this point. Or why I didn't put on the Sixers.

Vinny in. I guess this would be a normal throw day two days before a start if they're going that way (they also may have no expectation of his making a normal start Saturday, could be planning on five from him and Hale combined).

[zambonir]

This team is in free fall right now.

Guess it wasn't Kapler. Or Klentak. Or Chris Young or John Mallee or Nick Pivetta or or or...

I'm not so pessimisic yet, like Andy said elsewhere they are playing like the 81-85 win team they probably are, but my god, I hope they can stave off the sweep and regroup at home.

Tough road trip coming up too. Teams aren't good but the travel won't be easy.

[LoneStarPhan]

Not nailing down that win in extra innings in game one of this series seems to have totally turned the momentum and the Phillies haven't shown much life since. While it appeared that the Phillies were in this game until late, that was probably just an illusion.

Like Nola last game, Wheeler pitched well enough to win many games, but with almost zero offense (3 hits), he had to pitch a shutout to get a win this time.

It is a long season and every team has ups and downs. Plenty of time to right the ship.

[Philsmania]

We're struggling all around right now, at the plate, on the mound and in the field.
