[LoneStarPhan]

Brogdon does okay but he's no Workman or Hembree. Need to have veteran presence in the bullpen.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I feel bad for Girardi. It has to be really hard to make decisions with the bullpen that we have.

Maybe Brogdon is making that decision a little easier. Glad that Girardi gave him the opportunity tonight (and really glad him came through).

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies go 1-6 in the last seven games, the critical end of a season where they have hopes for making the post season.

Phillies have their worst record in the last three years and now have gone nine seasons since their last winning season (in 2011).

The Phillies are not a good team, based solely on their record over the past nine seasons.

[xogfog]

Wow, what a disappointment this season continues to be. Giants win tonight and the season is over.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

So disappointing. Don’t know what to say. The Phillies have not played that well on the road all season, so this type of an ending is not totally unexpected. But 1-5 on this road trip is really a bitter pill to swallow

[xogfog]

And the Padres take a 3 -0 lead in the 4th.

[xogfog]

From Salisbury:

The Phillies lost for the 21st time after holding a lead at one point in the game. That's the most in the majors.

They have led in 49 of their 59 games.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Well, you know MLB Network is rooting for the Padres tonight to make their programming tomorrow more interesting.

[zambonir]

Looking forward to seeing some of those kids on the 40 for the first time tomorrow.

The Marlins series was the killer. 1 more win over Miami or 1 more win at home over the Mets and they'd probably still be going to the post-season, however feebly. But the Nats series was a shock. That's where the injuries really started to catch up with them compared to the other times they'd played the Nats (we were 6-0 against them at that point).

The first series of the season turned out to be the story of the season. Nola didn't pitch well enough to win Game 1 and the bullpen gave away Game 3. On top of that the COVID stoppage seemed to ultimately help the Marlins: the expanded roster kept them above water, the guys who missed time were sharper later in the season and a few of their replacement players turned out to be keepers (we probably could have put together a better bullpen from their back half of their 60-man pool than we did from those two trades).

I guess it would be nice if tomorrow's game counted.

[xogfog]

I'm almost hoping the Giants put us out of our misery tonight. I don't want to hear Klentak saying "I'm so proud of this team, we were in it until the last game of the season"

[zambonir]

If Bowden is right Matt won't be giving a season-ending press conference. Not even on Zoom.

[xogfog]

Padres still up 3-0 trough 6.

[xogfog]

Padres up 3-2 heading into the 9th.

[mdougherty12]

In the bottom of the 8th, the Giants loaded the bases with no outs and the heart of the order up, but only push 2 runs across.

[xogfog]

And the Giants lose. I think all that needs to happen tomorrow for the Phillies to make the playoffs to get quickly swept by the Dodgers would be to win tomorrow and have the Giants and Brewers lose.
