Alec Bohm is 9th in MLB with a 988 OPS

Castellanos with 6 outs today in 5 AB. Horrendous game. If Pache was playing better he could have stolen his spot in the starting lineup.

Back to back, well earned loses for the Phillies.

Phillies outplayed by the Reds and IMO, outmanaged by the Reds as well.

Positives tonight include a solid 5 innings from Turnbull and a hot bat from Bohm.

Seranthony is a key cog, and he was obviously bad tonight (with help from Strahm). Soto has had a blowup game previously, too. Your bad bullpen outings can't be giving up 3 or 4 runs in an inning, it pretty much determines the game outcome in one inning. I don't know if the bullpen is overrated per se, or that bullpens in general have a really high variance from year to year and rating them is subject to lots of statistical variability.

On another note, I would DFA Pasche and start platooning Castellanos with Clemens when Harper returns. He's really a rally-killer right now.

Is there any way Dominguez can be sent to LHV to work on things? Options? It worked for Alvarado a couple of years ago.

It might be time (after a few easy outings) to get Kerkering into some higher leverage situations.
