[HopeSpringsEternal]

We are gonna get swept...

No Brad Hand, no Daniel Hudson, Nats will have to go with a reliever with little or no closing experience. Still hoping...

[Patchmk88]

Damn this is deflating. Really either need to come back here or win game 2z

[bkox]

2nd game could get.... interesting:

[LoneStarPhan]

Really need to win 2 today if we are serious about contending for the NL East.

[Patchmk88]

And we lose game 1. Have to win game 2z if we lose it, I’d probably see what I could get for players like McCuchen and Segura.

[LoneStarPhan]

Finnegin sets the Phillies down easily in the 7th.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Deflating. Only lead that the Phillies have had in the three games so far this series was in the bottom of the 9th inning of game #1.

[LoneStarPhan]

Hate the 7 inning games. Phillies were set to walk off in the 9th. But no, the game ends and the Nationals win

Boo!

[zambonir]

The "win of the year" seems like a million years ago.

Typically Phillies luck to get no benefit from the COVID absences, or the trade of Hand (though that could have gone either way), and to have to face Scherzer on top of that. So, was it a mistake to try and go ace-against-ace? Could have just as soon lost this game 8-2 and then come back with Wheeler, though I know they are worried the game won't be played.

[BaseballCat]

Scherzer may be headed to Padres now. Could you not have done this last night 🤨
