Ummm, we really don’t need to make sure every starter goes 100 pitches. Perhaps in the 3rd trip through the order we can be a little faster with the hook

[billgtrman]

Really a good performance by Sanchez just two HRs by PEDs Olson and the error by Turner which led to the first run. I can’t believe that the Phil’s haven’t scored a run against Morton. 15 innings in a row no runs. Just wow

[Patchmk88]

Last 5 games against the Braves before this one we have scored 1, 0, 1, 3, and 2 runs. Just absolutely owned by this team.

[owaistabish]

Its the offense to blame. Pitching has been great and kept us in the games. Very hard to watch this team when they play like this.

Foul (81.3 mph curveball)
Ball (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (81.9 mph curveball)

[Philsmania]

Bryson Stink is up.

There are so many things wrong with this club it’s hard to pick where to begin. A team’s second half of a season is usually a predictor of the next season’s start. One thing that is starting to show is that age is catching up with some of these guys. Middleton and Dombrowski have their work cut out for them to re-make this club. If they don’t, next year could get ugly at CBP.
