If there was ever a game for a walkoff, this is it.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Vince with a highlight reel catch in LF for the final out.

[LoneStarPhan]

Velazquez is a good athlete and a good outfielder.

[Phanatical]

Our pitcher is in LF because one of our outfielders is pitching.

[Patchmk88]

What a joke. This game will go down into history as an example on how to not manage a game.

[LoneStarPhan]

A sad, disappointing loss tonight. A very poor game for the Phillies that wastes another opportunity to really make a move for the post season.

One hit in the final six innings against pitchers who still have 5++ ERAs even after their shutout innings tonight.

Six innings where a single run is a walk off win and they can't do anything. The offense is killing this team. The pitching tonight was pretty good. Vargas gave them a solid start. The offense couldn't get the runs needed to win.

[Phanatical]

ducks ...imagining CD throwing pots and pans...the clubhouse cannot have confidence in Kapler...

[Patchmk88]

Also the fact that Kapler is an absolute clown is no excuse for the way our players hit tonight. So many squandered opportunities in regulation and just plane crap at bats in extras. I have never been so embarrassed as a fan.

[bkox]

Vince Velasquez’s catch to end the 15th had a 15% catch probability. It was a 5-star catch (0-25% catch prob). It’s the #Phillies ’ first 5-star catch of the season (they were one of 7 teams without one). They had two all of last season.

[Austinfan]

To be fair to Kapler, I think he was gambling to win the game or lose it, that is, with Suarez unable to get loose (and he can't afford another bullpen injury) he was willing to lose with Quinn rather than push any of his pitchers, I mean he's scrapping the bottom of the bullpen barrel at this point. And he can't push his starters who struggle to go 5 innings with 5 days rest.

Not sure why Haseley wasn't asked to pitch given his college experience.

[zambonir]

Wow, missed a wild one. I tried to listen on radio but Sirius XM didn't have it, maybe it was on a national radio broadcast but I couldn't fiddle with the dial too much.

Given the Suarez situation I (surprise) am not inclined to get all excited about Kapler's 13th-inning bullpen management. He tried to win the game in 9 on a night where had neither Morgan nor Neris. Easy to say he should have gotten more out of Morin or Nicasio (or Pivetta) but they might have failed to.

Like it or not, this front office/manager (and many others in baseball) don't think it's a big deal to use position players as relievers, and by definition it isn't always in a blowout (since it often happens in extra inning games).

The Phillies don't win when they score 3 runs, that much we already know. In 9 or 15.

[kmc1019]

28 runners left on base.

Harper, Hoskins, Realmuto, Kingery: 2 for 24

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I thought the most foolish decision in this game was pinch running for Eflin in the bottom of the 13th. I’m pretty sure Eflin could have pitched more than two innings. There were two outs when Velasquez took Eflin’s place at second base. Both T Mac and Kruk thought it was a questionable decision on the TV broadcast.

agree, also why wasn't Quinn stealing is this situation, If you are bringing in a pinch runner why not a pinch hitter VV has to be a better hitter right?
How is it not a good idea to allow VV to pitch an inning but ok to have him throwing the ball from the outfield to home?
Regardless as I said in the 9th inning if they lose this game it is on the offense for not adding on when multiple times they had opportunities to add runs without even getting a hit.
