[Patchmk88]

This games gonna be out of reach soon. We really can’t afford to be losing many games against the bottoms feeders.

[LoneStarPhan]

Second walk that has scored so far this inning. Phillies so far have had baserunners but failed to cash in with runs.

[Patchmk88]

Well this one is over. Not the way you want to start the 2nd half against a team that is over 20 games under .500.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Wow. This inning sure puts a damper on the high hopes I had for Gibson in the second half. Got to stop the bleeding now and try to chip away at the Cubs lead.

[bkeich]

Still confused why it wasn't at least Wheeler. Makes no sense to me that you start with the bottom of your starting rotation

[Patchmk88]

It’s time to cut bait with Femilia.

[Sabin]

Was Thompson waving the white flag with Familia? Can't imagine a lot of scenarios where it feels safe or justified to bring him in - it's pretty much down to big deficits or big leads. But do you need a one-inning arm for those situations?

[LoneStarPhan]

Dismal start to the post all star play. Once again, Phillies look bad against a team they have to beat.
