I was just gonna post that it was nice the bullpen held 'em at least.

Ricky Bo said the same thing Path did, the rest may have been overkill. OTOH maybe it still pays off in two months even if you lose this game working off the rust.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Braves sure do have a lot of very good young players. Phillies have a long way to go to get at the same level they’re at.

[bkeich]

It seemed odd to me to start Gibson after the break, it seems worse now. Nola was not sharp tonight, I can't help but think that 8 days off was not smart.

[LoneStarPhan]

4-8 in the last 12 games. Definitely a rough patch. A win tomorrow to win the series would be a step in the right direction.

[EDmuch]

This one seems to be on Nola. He was not sharp.

[zambonir]

Cards lost 10-3 in Toronto hopefully they will cough up another one without their anti-vaxxers tomorrow.

I wouldn't put it on all on Nola. They probably lose that game 2-0, they only started scoring after it was out of reach (granted, that is also on Nola partly).

[zambonir]

Thomson just said what I did, that the extra rest was still what they wanted for Nola in the long run. Not like he can get that extra break in September (and he has folded most Septembers lately no?)

[Sabin]

Thomson just said what I did, that the extra rest was still what they wanted for Nola in the long run. Not like he can get that extra break in September (and he has folded most Septembers lately no?)

Well, not so much 2020 (3.57 ERA), but I don't think that counts. But since we're currently battling them for the final wild card spot, it may also be worth mentioning the Cardinals ripped off 17 in a row last September, and carried a .555 winning percentage in September of 2019, so they're not exactly September slouches.

Point being, while it would be beneficial having an effective Nola on top of a returning Harper in September, if they aren't in realistic striking range going in it likely doesn't matter that much.

[zambonir]

Well, they haven't fallen out of striking range while going 4-8 (helps that they got some of those wins against the Cardinals. But it's the Phillies overall, not just Nola, that folded last almost every season since 2018. But I like where they are for now - Segura back, trade deadline, Harper. You can't say they haven't met if not exceeded expectations without those two guys and two SPs. Bullpen deeper than anyone would have imagined if not perfect, and Bohm and Stott, both question marks - if even on the roster - in April - actually coming around.

And of course if the Cards do go on that kind of run we won't even be competing with them, but the Brewers will be the problem.
