GDT 9/14/20 - Touki returns

You underestimate the ability of our starters to get outs

Getting outs is sort of like pissing your pants—Touki needed to see other young guys do it before he realized it makes you cool.
 
Marlins are beating the Phillies again, and are on the verge of taking the 7 game series 5-2.

Phillies might be in trouble. They don't look very good with both Hoskins and Realmuto out of the lineup with injuries. Then Wheeler is also out with an injury, as well as their rookie starter Howard.

The rest of their schedule is no picnic either. They face the Mets for 3 and have to go against DeGrom and Lugo (both of who we miss). They've also got 4 left vs the Blue Jays, 3 left vs the Rays, and 4 vs the Nationals.

So they likely miss out on the 2nd place spot just by looking at that schedule. Still a really good shot at claiming the 7th or 8th seed. Which puts them in play to face us.

Oh, no. We're going to face the Marlins and Sixto Sanchez is going to take the first major step in becoming the successor to Pedro Martinez. And the streak will continue. Most likely forever.

Phiiiies are only 1/2 game ahead of SF in the 8 spot. Phiiiies could end up in 8th or not make PS at all.

That would be kind of a dream for me. Odd season, so making the playoffs isn't necessarily an indication of greatness or futility, but the Phillies keep spending money and not getting the results they expect.

I absolutely love the fact that the Nationals are struggling.
 
The sooner Touki stops throwing that flat 4 seamer so often and gets back to throwing the sinker as his primary fastball, the sooner he will enjoy success. When he first came up he featured the good sinker, and has since abandoned it for some unknown reason.
