    To be fair, the guy that bunted has the lowest ops of starters. I didn't like bunt though

    Welp...completely erases the good work done in the last two series. We should be 2-1 in this series. Ouch.

    I wonder how the brass can sit there from their catered suite and contiunuously watch this montrosity of a bullpen that they just put band aides on at the deadline....

    Colorado is also in the WC race so another team gaining on us in that and passing us. Terrible managing of a key series, esp. tonight.

    So was Brach unavailable by one of Snit’s random decisions or what? Why isn’t he the go-to righty there?

    The Phillies have been scuffling a bit and we’ve done nothing to make up for it. Hell, we’ve shot ourselves in the foot.

    We’re very obviously the better team in this series right now.

    The bullpen is fine, if Snitker would just use them properly.

    They did make changes, though. The issue is bullpen management.

    How many pitches does it take Davis to go 1-2-3? Over/under 10.

    We will get a winner on and then swing at everything in the dirt.

    you shouldn’t, ever. Pitching is hard, we know that. But that’s about as easy as it gets for a pitcher.

    Yes.

    In all honesty, Minter was probably actually hurt. No, he's not the Craig Kimbrel everyone is fond of, but unless you just consider him as due for a meltdown, he isn't as bad as tonight. He's a 2.5-3 ERA pitcher in reality, respectable, but everyone is preferring better as closer.

    Now for the 10th...someone tell me why Luke Jackson was in a game that was really needed? Biddle had enough rest to where it should've been him.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I keep remembering Acuña's double that only missed going out by a couple of feet.
