Imo they need to go 6-3 at worse to have a chance at the end. Cause after these 9 they have 7 against atlanta and 2 against Toronto. I imagine with how the pitching is looking and hitting is going that 2-7 over that span isn’t far fetched Hopefully Wheeler and Seranthony are back by that stretch but I have my doubts they can even handle the Nats and Marlins at this point. The Nats just won 2 in a row against the Mets, and of course we are facing Alcantara again against the Marlins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave him 15 days and he still has inflammation of his forearm. I forget what beat writer was on WIP talking about it but he laid out with how the Phillies were talking and their past with dealing with injuries that he believes there’s more going on with wheeler then the Phillies are letting on. He thought this was an injury that potentially linger into the offseason. Tbh one of the reasons i really wanted them to make a push for another front line starter at the deadline is because i didn’t trust Suarez to hold up all year. he’s never thrown this many innings. Nola has always had struggles in September. Gibson is hit or miss. And eflin couldn’t be trusted even if he came back. Wheeler i thought would be a constant but his injury just makes me solidify my feelings that this offseason they need to get another Ace type pitcher. He’s getting older and not sure you can just rely on him being What he’s been and holding up. dominguez i think returns sometime this week which really helps give the Phillies at least their 8th and 9th inning guys. The issue is really finding other guys who can be consistent. Feels like it’s a crapshoot on what the hell you are gonna get from anyone not named Robertson (for an inning) and dominguez when healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheeler and maybe Nola would give them a slight chance but just Nola? Absolutely no way they even win a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discounting September 2020 cause they played 60 games, his era in 2021 was 6.19 and in 2019 it was 6.51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why i said slight chance with both of them in a playoff series, but with just Nola, forget it. That’s if they even get there which I doubt.

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Also where’s the power from Schwarber, harper and hoskins. Harper has 0 HRs in his last 31 at bats. Schwarber has 3 since start of august (103 AB). Rhys has 2 in his last 90 AB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they have no chance of winning (which I don't agree with but that's beside the point), why wouldn't you want them to make the playoffs?

Totally pointless Was that your attitude in ‘07? They snuck in and got swept. We know what happened the next year. Not saying they’re winning next season, but it’s dumb to say you don’t want them to get in just because they might get swept. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Next 9 games are everything. MIA WAS MIA. If they don't get on a run here, we're in trouble. Need a 6-3 or 7-2 performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gonna look even worse when relamuto really declines and they need a catcher. I really hate trading away good hitting catcher prospects. It’s not easy to find great hitting catchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
