Enyel De Los Santos.. former Phil... is 9-1 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.075 WHIP in 2 seasons with Cleveland
Not surprising.
Good game by Wheeler, hopefully they can do something to make it into a win for the team, he certainly doesn't deserve a loss
Relievers, man! Hector Neris is pretty good too (obviously he was much more proven). And we just watched Hoby Milner.
There are other guys I thought would end up being something who really aren't though. Yacksel Rios, Eudabray Ramos, Edgar Garcia.

Final
Lifeless.
Tough game to watch. A difficult loss to swallow, given the way that Wheeler pitched. Defense failed us in the sixth inning. Bats are struggling
This is what I have the biggest problem with. Marsh has already pulled up and given up on making the play, and he throws his hands up like “not my problem” … That just cannot happen, especially when it’s clear your second baseman wants nothing to do with catching that ball https://t.co/ofZgrN0cx4 pic.twitter.com/hChbNkjP5k— Mitch Rupert ( @Mitch_Rupert ) July 23, 2023

Four in a row.
No chance tonight. Can’t win without scoring at least one run.
No future with no offense. Defense continues to cost runs.
Wheeler deserved better.
Defense failed. What else is new? They botch plays that cost runs and some games on a consistent basis
Remember when they were winning on the road?
Phillies have lost four straight but Marlins have lost eight straight. (Looks like Reds passed us for WC spot too.)
I am on the fire Long bandwagon.
By Wednesday, the streak will be eight. We are witnessing the knockout punch of the 2023 Phillies
Marsh now the only Phillies player (barely) maintaining an .800 OPS. Harper and Castellanos have really faded.
