Connor Brogdon has a chance to become the first 30 game winner since Denny Mc Lain.
I wonder he if plays the organ or has aspirations of running a gambling site.
Looking at him,you know that he doesn't drink a case of Pepsi every day.

Except for the 1962 Mets,{40 wins}, Tommy Lasorda once said, every team will win 50 games, lose 50 games, so it comes down to what you do with the other 62 games!
I'm with you. I'm suspicious of the bullpen's ability to throw strikes and to avoid leaving pitches out over the plate. Alvarado, Neris, Brogdon, Hale and of course Velasquez have these problems. Maybe Archie Bradley and Kintzler will prove relia

5-1, sweeping the division champs and then taking the series from a team who many “experts” see as a playoff team. O really hasn’t gotten going yet and still scored 5, 4, and 8 vs NYM. Day off today for the surprisingly good bullpen and JT to rest, and then another big series @ATL and then @NYM. Would take 4-3 over the next 7 games knowing we only see Nola once in that stretch.
They are limiting Howards innings this year by using him in a mixed roll and are trying to "save" those innings for the stretch run. From this Athletic article, https://theathletic.com/2481194/202...plicated-situation-the-bullpen-makeover-more/ :
Disturbing to see Wheeler so inept and then a weak mental error by Alvarado. Pitching awfulness makes the team lose faith mentally.
Well the Phils just got a gift run in the top of 9. Umps and review totally blew a tag play at home. Bohm never touched the plate. I can't believe the review didn't see it either. If I were the Phils I'd give the run back. Winning like that sucks. (If they hang on to win)
Then again the Braves weren't giving back any Greg Maddox's 10 years of fake strikes so maybe I don't feel that bad.

Vince was the brother,not Dom.Vince still holds the Phillies' record for most grand slams in a season.
That volcano erupting on St.Vincent may be an omen:The Phillies won their only two titles after Western Hemisphere volcanic eruptions,with Mt.St.Helens in 1980 and the big 2008 one in Chile.
Really I always heard it was Dom. Thanks for the correction. The Phils have had a couple of crappy brothers of great players.
Well I had second thoughts after considering the Greg Maddox issue but no, he was obviously out. There used to be this thing called sportsmanship, yeah I'd give it back. The fairest thing would be a do-over but that's even less likely to be figured out then giving the run back. Not sure there's even a way to do that in MLB.
This outfield needs help.Cutch may be done.Quinn cannot hit.Where is Haseley?Where is Moniak?

I think they're giving Quinn a chance to win CF because Hasley started off poorly at the plate. Let's give everyone until the trade deadline before we start cutting folks. Cutch has started very slow and so has Haseley. Let's see how it plays out. I'm more concerned with Neris as closer. We already know he can't close.
Agree with all the outfield hate, they probably have the worst CF situation in the league. Don't think Quinn, Haseley, or even others like Moniak or Herrera are big league starters at this point. I love watching Cutch, but he's on the downside of the aging curve and is what he is at this point.
Every team has lesser players somewhere in its lineup, but they usually bury him the 8-hole. Ours bats first. That's a big issue for me. CF is a completely different topic. Odubel is clearly the best hitter of the 5 candidates. The whole spring tryout was disingenuous.
This comes down to bad drafting. Yes the Moniak year was a bad draft, but picking first you need to get much more value than a 4A extra outfielder. The Phillies should do whatever they have to not to play a doubleheader again. After yesterday's damn disgrace, this team needs a long winning streak pronto.
Maybe too many team members were mean to him after he gave up on that catchable ball in front of him last night.
I kid. Hopefully it’s not too serious.
