Losing mentality. Team got knocked in the face last night and instead of stepping up comes out with more losing baseball tonight.

Or, alternately, this will be no more significant than that Cubs series.
But... Nola?

After a complete game shutout his last time out, this is certainly disappointing. But Nola always seems to walk a fine line between hitting his spots and missing too much on the plate. Given his body of work throughout the entire season, I think we should cut him some slack. If Hoskins makes a play on the bunt, the inning would have turned out much different.
Or is this just a preview of September Nola?

Phillies are in a real bad luck streak. Snap out of it. Eventually the hard hit balls will go we’re people aren’t.
