[LoneStarPhan]

Back to back good innings from Kimbrel against the Blue Jays.

Maybe those calling for his release were premature.

I think the bullpen is going to be fine.

[zambonir]

It really would be nice to have a bench player with SB speed. Quinn is now available, can't hit but has the same utility that Pache did.

Quinn was never half the CF Pache is, and he's not young anymore either.

This Phillies team is almost as up-and-down as the Sixers-Celtics series.

[bkeich]

When Quinn was young I actually had hope for him. His first season with the Phil's he seemed to be able to hit and his speed would be wonderful now. That said, yea, he isn't young anymore.

Really i would just like someone "like" him on the roster for pinch running and defense, which was really how we were seeing Pache (defense first OF to compensate for our horrific corner OF defenders).

[Patchmk88]

Big time sweep. Great job by our staff in this short series.

[rkeden]

We got him-- He is playing center field at Reading and hitting .288. Rojas can run like the wind and play defense.I doubt the bat is ready for the BIGS.

[LoneStarPhan]

Great to pull out a win today. And while the series was only two games, they sweep the Blue Jays.

One of the best games from the pitching staff so far this season. Wheeler for seven and bullpen innings from Soto, Dominguez, and Kimbrel. Great day for the pitching.

Offense struggled but 3 hits in the bottom of the ninth tied the game and in the tenth, they got the ghost runner home without a hit. Turner working a walk was key to set up the two out throwing error that allowed Sosa to come home with the winning run.

Back on the road with a record of 18-19.

[zambonir]

Really i would just like someone "like" him on the roster for pinch running and defense, which was really how we were seeing Pache (defense first OF to compensate for our horrific corner OF defenders).

I think that is Guthrie, who is literally Pache's replacement (and predecessor). It could also be Cave, tbh (more so than Clemens whose brief time playing 1B seems to have ended with Harper's return). But Thomson just wasn't interested in the move today.

We all loved Quinn and we all wish he'd been healthier and a better hitter. But he was also never a great defensive CF, just, a CF (and a better one than anyone else the Phillies had except Odubel at his best, who was considered to be as good as Kiermaier for that brief stretch).

[schillingfan]

Blue Jays challenged (tag play), call on the field was upheld: Bryce Harper grounds into a force out, pitcher Tim Mayza to shortstop Bo Bichette. Edmundo Sosa scores. Trea Turner out at 2nd. Bryce Harper to 1st. Throwing error by shortstop Bo Bichette.

It’s a good thing I saw what happened, as that explanation is crazy!

For sure! I watched the video of the play, and the surprise of Bichette's routine throw going as wild as it did is lost in the strictly fact-based version.

[Austinfan]

We also have Muzzioti in AAA who's tearing the cover off the ball.

[Callison]

Where was Kimbrel against LA, a team that is surely going to the playoffs? I just want a piece of LA all day every day and I hate to see one player hand a tight game to them Yeah, he finally showed up yesterday - maybe the Phils know something after all...

OTOH, Stott has about stopped hitting...lineups with Schwarber leading off are still effective, but it would be nice to have a leadoff hitter with speed, like the rest of the league,,, for a while there I thought Stott would be that guy. Great glove.
