[LoneStarPhan]

Braves come into Philadelphia 2-6 in their last 8 games.

Phillies have just swept the Tigers two games in Detroit after taking 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh.

Perhaps tonight is just the inevitable evening out that often happens in baseball. Real test will come tomorrow and Sunday. Can the Phillies win two or even one? Certainly possible but will have to find a way to cut out the free passes and actually get some runs when they get multiple RISP early the game.

[LoneStarPhan]

It's only one game, but the Phillies were dominated by the Braves tonight.

Not much to say as a Phillies phan except let's do better tomorrow. We can still win this series!

[phillychuck]

One key hit when Soroka was on the mound would have changed the course of the game early...

[Austinfan]

What are they going to do with Arrieta going forward?

If he's limited to 60-70 pitches a game, is he even worth using as a starter/maybe starter/young SP (Pivetta?) combo every five days?

Or do you bite the bullet, have him get surgery so you can salvage one season off his deal?

[Lucky_Beagle]

Depends upon recovery time expected. If its 3 months and the injury isn't going to get worse let him keep throwing. If its 6 months and the injury can get worse consider shutting him down. Questions arise about is he throwing differently now as a result putting other injuries at greater risk of developing?

[Lucky_Beagle]

agreed, 2 additional hits at the right time and who knows what may have happened in the game.

[allentown]

Of course that's true in virtually every game.

[EDmuch]

Wouldn't it be nice if Dallas Keuchel was available on a one year deal for $13 million ?
