Phillies win, but bullpen is horrible. By the way, for those that bet, the last seven games I have been to that Alvarado pitches, the Phillies have lost. Can we please throw in the towel on him ( and others). Might be going to Sunday’s game.

Tomorrow is a HUGE game.A sweep pulls the Fightins' within 6.5 of the wild card with 13 weeks to go.Pick up half a game a week and it's tied up.
The halfway mark is tomorrow.
I think the wild card path is more difficult than winning the NL East. We have plenty of games vs. the NL East to make up ground. Plus LAD, SD, SF are all better than ATL, NYM and DC and will be harder to catch.
Mets fan, here. Agree with both of these posts, except San Diego. Washington will be hampered without Schwarber, but they beat San Diego last night. San Diego is 4-7 against the NL East. SF and LAD will be tough for the NL East teams to pass.No weaknesses in this lineup now with everyone back healthy. We can score runs with timely hitting and each guy is very capable of doing that.
Why can't you mention Covid protocols?https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/phillies/alec-bohm-covid-protocol-phillies-redsoxI'm prohibited from mentioning the Alec Bohm situation on this board.
Ace is out like Bohm.The division is there for the taking with the addition of a couple of bullpen arms. Win today, and get into the break at .500 -- time for the ace to pitch like an ace.
Positive is 10 days. I think its 3 straight neg tests, so the rest should be back by FridayHow long is the time out for positive and for contact?
Man I wouldn't want to sitting in the stands right now. That sun is scoarching!Knapp to catch first game.Vierling up.He may be the 27th man.Brogdon still not back,Hammer time stays.Falter back.
Where do you live?I was there yesterday for every pitch. Third base side was in shade, but first base side was very hot and I saw people frequently go up into the concourse to get a break. I buy standing room so I was in the shade the whole time. Just a tip, if you stand near the Shake Shack dining area, they have air conditioning that comes blasting out into the concourse. Good place to stand. Also, remember the Phillies let you bring in water and soda as long as it isn’t in glass containers. Second game was bad, but I am always happy with a split in a doubleheader. Fireworks were very good too.
That a good ride for a game. 70 all the way in?Manchester
Certainly not? Not sure how you can make that statement. The Mets aren't a great team, and their best pitcher plus Lindor (supposed to be their best hitter) are hurt. Phils are 3 games out and will be buyers. This is far from over.Phillies not so good.
Certainly not catching the Mets.
He's a front runner fan, who when his team does something good comes out of the woodwork. He's been in hiding most of the summer. We've learned to laugh and deal with him and his minions. That fanbase is a bunch of Good Time Charlies, lol. The NL East won't be decided till the last week of the season. Notice how he didn't say $hit about the Phillies till after the fact.Certainly not?

It's a three way race, in no particular order- Mets, Braves, Phillies. Don't rule out the Nationals either.Certainly not? Not sure how you can make that statement.

Agree- tight race this year. No team playing well and all off us with holes.It's a three way race, in no particular order- Mets, Braves, Phillies. Don't rule out the Nationals either.
Mets could be a great team if their pitching staff stayed healthy, but despite losing not only deGrom, no Thor, no Carrasco, and I've lost track of who else is on IL, they continue to stay in 1st place. Not great, but good enough. The Phils (and perhaps the Braves) have the most potent offense(s), but they seem to find ways to lose--with the Phils it is the bullpen. And Lindor is by far not the Mets' best hitter.
If the Phils solve their bullpen issues, they can pass the Mets (who have a 13 game stretch against the Dodgers and Giants in August). Right now, it's anyone's guess.
