Currently we don’t have a starter for Saturday. God help us if it’s a velasquez or bullpen game with Suarez starting

I don’t mind Suarez.  Guy is solid no matter what role he’s in.  Vinny would be a disaster

I would be fine with Suarez if Joe will let him go 5 innings or so. The 3 inning nonsense isn't going to cut it.

Lot of built-in pressure for a pitcher named Gibson...

Gibson is going to need to eat innings tonight to save as much of the BP for Saturday with Ranger starting and being limited to innings.  

Would be nice if they continue to hit like they did down in DC.  But this O blows hot and cold and on the turn of a friggin dime.

Exactly, don’t have the goal the Phillies winning anything and you won’t be let down.

Gotta love biggest game the Phillies had in a while and rhys has a sore groin and can’t play.

That was huge to get the double play with the bases loaded. Hopefully my theory holds where bases loaded 1 out or less and don’t score the next half inning your opponent scores 75% of the time. 

well dang

Gibson helps himself with an RBI single, after Jankowski Ks looking with a duck on the pond at 3rd at no outs.  He's at 88 pitches through 5 IPs so might only make it 1 more inning.  Eh, giving 3 IPs to this BP in a tight game is not a pleasing proposition.

F-ing Bohm.  I didn’t think we could see a worse fielder than Hoskins. But here we are.  

Segura saved his sorry ass.

You’re batting a 1.000 lately.  😀

I’m trying to be negative so it goes the other way. If i start being positive with them i fear they’ll revert back

Yeah he’s having arguably his best stretch as a phillie. If his RBI total was higher more people around baseball would be talking about his season. It’s pretty amazing that he has 19 homers and i think 15-16 are solo

So is this run real or just a mirage against a sheety division?

Mirage. They don't have enough pitching depth, both in the rotation and bullpen, to sustain anything. They also have inconsistent hitters, so you never know what you're going to get with the offense. Right now, Harper is on a hot streak. But the inevitable slump where he goes 7 for 40 with 20 strikeouts is coming. And when that happens, they won't be winning too many games.

Yeah, they might win 85 games. But they're just as likely to win only 77.

I'll still root for them, but my expectations are not especially high.
