Can't win em all.

[Philsmania]

So, the best we can do on this cupcake road trip is 7-4.

[LoneStarPhan]

Not beating up on the bottom teams can come back to haunt you. Phillies clearly continue to get outstanding pitching, but have had a few games where the offense just cannot get a run. Shut out for ten innings in the series ending loss in NY and now held to 2 runs in 18 innings against pedestrian pitching in Miami. Phillies out hit Marlins 8 to 4 and had the only extra base hit in the game. Phillies need to find ways to get runs home.

Atlanta loses, Washington loses, falling under .500. Phillies hold ground but miss chance to move further ahead. Hope for a win tomorrow to go into the break.

Record 53-41, slipping back to 12 over .500

[allentown]

Santana is seriously slumping. It seems not much more than 2 weeks ago that his OPS was over .800.

[Patchmk88]

It is hard for this team to score runs when not he and Herrera are slumping. I don’t believe Hernandez has been all that good as of late either.

[zambonir]

That's the thing, it seems like it's the lack of slug or clutch hitting that's hurting them, but it may actually be the two OBP engines idling

[EastFallowfield]

There are only 7 games left on the schedule when the Phils will play a team that currently has a better record, so we have to get used to disappointing losses unless we win out.

[Patchmk88]

Definitely. Still having your ace against a guy with a plus 5 ERA on a team that may be the worst team in the NL and losing is always going to be a tough one to swallow.
