August 23, 20251 yr When you look at the way the Phillies got to being 20 games over .500 it’s interesting. they are really good vs the AL (outside of the white Sox and angels). Their record is 27-15 overall. Against current AL playoff teams they are 13-8. Against the NL they are 47-39. Overall good. they are 7-0 vs. the Rockies and just 40-39 vs. the rest of the NL. With a 14-12 record against the likes of the nationals, Braves and pirates who are the 3 worst teams in the NL after the Rockies. Then against current NL playoff field they are 11-13 with 13 more games to go against dodgers, brewers and Mets. if you include the reds who are just behind the Mets, it’s 14-16.

Better than any past years he's been a starter for them.Walker giving us 5 innings and 3 ER is fine. I’d have liked to see him go into the 6th at 79 pitches so we didn’t have to rely on the bullpen for 4 innings and he found a groove the last 2 innings. With Alvarado back it makes it more doable but in the playoffs you won’t have Alvarado for that. Issue last night was Duran got hit, JT made a poor throw to 3rd and the offense early in the game left guys stranded like they tend to do. Add on against a bad Nats bullpen they managed to score just 1 run

August 23, 20251 yr Well that’s good. Hopefully he has a better outcome for his career than Harvey and Strasberg who i believe had this same thing. Chris young and Merrill Kelly have did a good job coming back from it.

I will say that we're not winning anything this year now, and the window for this team probably just shut emphatically
