[LoneStarPhan]

I am not really a fan of the pinch hitting for Haseley and for Franco, especially in this game.

Barring a major turn around by the Phillies in the ninth, this game goes down as a failure across the board: Nola's start, the relief pitching, the offense, and IMO the managing.

[LoneStarPhan]

Tomorrow is another day and a chance to win a ball game. Phillies didn't show much tonight. Davis and Garcia did okay in the final innings and they did hit two home runs, but with the early first inning runs for the Braves, the Phillies never seriously threatened in this game. It was pretty much over by the time the game day thread showed up.

[EDmuch]

Nola gets the loss. The guy we needed to come thru every time he took the mound.

[zambonir]

If Nola had pitched like he did last year we'd probably be in playoff position right now. But no one really expected him to repeat last year. The offense picked him up some early in the season when he struggled. They haven't lately.

[Austinfan]

Nola's tired, his velocity hasn't declined, but the last few games, even when he pitched well, his command has been off.
When Nola is on, he paints the corners and doesn't run a lot of deep counts.

[zambonir]

This stat is pretty compelling, if still not comprehensive.

It’s worth noting Nola’s lifetime numbers on four days rest and five days rest.

Four days — 23-22, 4.52 ERA in 56 starts.

Five days — 28-8, 2.60 ERA in 58 starts.

The thing is, that first pitcher is still probably worth having every four days over any of the other guys.

It's very old-school baseball, I don't think the numbers have ever favored pitching your ace on truly short rest in the playoffs either, but most managers still do it.

[Lawman]

I'm still upset that the offense only mustered 2 runs off of Foltynewicz.

[Patchmk88]

I'm still upset that the offense only mustered 2 runs off of Foltynewicz.

This is probably the bigger issue. Although sometimes being down 4-0 after an inning and a half takes some of the life or puts more pressure on the batters that wouldn’t be there if the score was closer.
