Of course that would happen to the Phillies and harper 

Of course Dominguez Fing implodes tonight. Quit Fing using him in the 8th. JFC let him have one damn role 

Is Thomson sleeping through this Fing game? After Dominguez walks the last batter get him the F out of the damn game. It’s a one run game still and he had absolutely no control. Now it’s two and you saw Dominguez was terrible.

Yeah. Idk if he’s that good. When he’s on he’s really good but he just isn’t consistent enough. 
 

Seems like In the huge spots he keeps coming up a bit short. Not saying he sucks, he’s definitely a good piece but idk if he’s all he’s been hyped up to be.

I look at it this way. Robertson and Dominguez are more comfortable when they have a known role.  playing games with them and not knowing their role doesn’t allow them to get into a grove or get comfortable is the same crap we did with gabe and it Fed with guys in the bullpen cause they didn’t know when they were going to be used. guys complained about it. There’s no reason to change what was working before Dominguez got hurt which was he was the de facto closer unless he couldn’t pitch that day. 

let’s add in a two run game bringing in freaking Nelson. 2 runs isn’t the end of the world. It is when Nelson implodes and gives us 3 more.

Well they’re 6-6 against the Braves this year so I’d say they’ve already shown they are capable of hanging with them. 

Yeah, I don’t care about the games back in April.  The Braves have the best record in baseball the last few months.

Dominguez pitched in the 8th plenty of times this season.  He just crapped the bed tonight.

The problem right now with the Phillies is the hitting is super inconsistent. They’ve scored three or less runs in the month of September the same amount of times they’ve gone over. Also, Brandon marsh over his last five games is batting 526. I don’t give a crap if Nolan Ryan is on the Fing mound. You have to start him when he’s that hot. we did the same thing with stott a couple games back, and fortunately sosa stepped up, but stott had been hitting .304 vs. lefties for 4 month. Forget this BS lefty vs right matchup. Play your Fing best players. There’s 18 games left. 

also, I hated when Gabe Kapler was here and we didn’t do well with all the bullpen guys and the rules. Have them have a Central at the end of the year. I want Robertson being the eighth inning guy and I want Dominguez being the 9th so they can get comfortable in those roles and just know when they are going to pitch. This whole BS we’re gonna match where they are in the lineup tends to cause more issues and guys ****ed about it with gave.  the Braves lineup is good throughout so I didn’t make a difference whether you came out of the eighth or 9th. You’re facing a good Fing lineup throughout.

Before he got hurt after they acquired Robertson they basically moved him to the closer role and Robertson to the 8th. He was rolling at that point til the injury. Furthermore, the Braves lineup is so good. It doesn’t matter whether or not you bring them out for the eighth or you bring them out for the 9th to try matchups with that lineup. That lineup one through nine with albies back is explosive anyways. So you’re not really helping Robertson cause if dominguez gets a 1-2-3 inning, Robertson is facing Riley, Olson and d’arnaud.

Don’t get me wrong. Dominguez was got awful tonight. The fact is he should’ve been removed from that game as soon as he walked the better with two outs. It’s still a one run game at that point. You bringing Robertson and if he can gets the out it’s only 3 to 2 and we still have a chance to win. Instead, I don’t know what the F Thomson is watching. Dominguez was horrible From the first batter. then he brings a Nelson like that’s gonna solve the Fing issue.   

Brewers down 5-0 come back to walk off the yankees to win 7-6. Down to 3 games over the brewers and 1.5 over the padres. 

I still think the Phillies will make the playoffs, but I think it's clear that the Phillies will just get a playoff participation award.  Every team other than the Padres is better than them.

They really need nola to step up and have an ace like performance. Really not holding my breath on that one as nola has had some clunkers in September in the past. Plus he has had 3 starts against the Braves. First one he was dominant. The next two he gave up 4ER in 7 and 5ER in 6. 

A fun ride but it is downhill from here.

I think the odds are in their favor but if the Phillies pull what they did on the Az and SF road trip the next 8 games vs. Braves and blue jays i think there’s a chance they could miss. Brewers schedule of Yankees and Mets looked harder a couple weeks back. But the Yankees are playing poorly right now and the Mets are also playing pretty mediocre. There’s a chance vs. the Mets they avoid degrom, bassitt and scherzer. If the brewers get out of these two series 4-2, their schedule really opens up outside of 4 games with St. Louis who might clinch by the time they face them for the last 2. The Phillies would really help themselves if they could just go 4-4 over the next 8.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

There is a better chance of that happening than the Phillies making it  past the first round

If they set this up better could’ve had wheeler on Tuesday and then had him pitch last game vs. Braves. 

 

About to be 2 games by the end of the night as apparently we can’t hit the Braves worse starter and nola struggling in the 3rd.

Personally I’m shocked 

Absolutely can’t wait until Hoskins and Nola are gone.  Need another top starter.  Would love Trea Turner.  But until some of these losing players are gone this team is going nowhere.

I said that at the deadline they should be trying to get another Ace or Frontline starter. I preferred that over a Soto trade. They need another top end of the rotation guy. First, nola is a free agent at the end of next year and really in September for much of his career he hasn’t been that great. So I don’t know how you trust him going in the postseason if we make it. Just assuming he’s as could be as good as he was the first five months when the last month of the season he’s tended to struggle. Add on Wheeler’s not getting any younger. So you needed another guy when you look around the league almost every other rotation that’s World Series champion contenders has three legitimate guys at the top of the rotation.

Yup…that’s the biggest thing they need for sure

After that they need some bullpen arms and a 5th starter with gibson and thor FA. I’d frankly use painter if he’s ready. Kids been dominant in the minors at every level. 

second base I’d probably just bring segura back on his option. In 2024 when hoskins and segura come off the books try to get a big time hitter
