[LoneStarPhan]

Hard to believe. Is there a curse on the Phillies' bullpen.

Again, the 0-2 pitch.

I am at a loss as to what is happening.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Good grief. Finding new ways to blow a lead.

[LoneStarPhan]

Ruf got his BA up to .200 with the big home run. Dickerson gets his third hit and is now up to .239. Yes, the Phillies are getting beat by players who were not doing well until this series.

The season is still young but the multirun leads blown by the Phillies' bullpen is no longer small.

[LoneStarPhan]

Great start from Eflin wasted today by the failure of the bullpen. Eflin pitched six innings, one run on 7 hits, no walks, 3 Ks. Deserved a better fate but at least any loss will fall to someone else.

The continued solid starting pitching is encouraging. I would like to say the bullpen will be okay, but after watching the 2020 season unfold, I know that it is possible to see a bullpen never get things in order. That said, I do not think they can be as bad as last season, but this past several games suggest otherwise.

Joe takes the chance of not bringing in a fresh arm for the 8th, but rather going with the pitcher who got the last out in the 7th. Howard rewards the Phillies with a strong 1-2-3 inning, striking out all three.

My ideal outcome is for the Phillies to score in the bottom of the 8th and then have the bullpen set the Giants down in the 9th for the win. Let's do it.
