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 1https://t.co/ofZgrN0cx41 pic.twitter.com/hChbNkjP5k

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.)
Marsh now the only Phillies player (barely) maintaining an .800 OPS. Harper and Castellanos have really faded.
That will probably not happen any time soon, he is under contract until 2025. Longer than the manager. Not to mention it never matters.
Worst defense support behind pitchers, this year ...

I'm guessing that this goes a long way towards explaining Wheeler's:
2.97 FIP
3.23 xERA
...
4.04 ERA pic.twitter.com/NkGSkEnbdW1
