It’s looking more like last year’s NFC East, where you could have a losing record and limp into the playoffs.Fooled yet again into thinking a streak would stick. Nope. This is inherently a .500 team.
No more, no less.

This is a crucial weekend in San Diego.The Padres have a very difficult schedule the rest of the way.The wild card may be the only hope.Of course,the Reds are there as well.
What other team do we know that does that after any success? Hint: Begins with R and ends with U. (See MSU-NH ‘04, UL-Cincy ‘06, but that game gave us that sweet Devraun Thompson play at the goal line.)After putting Arizona over 40 wins by getting swept, I think our Phillies are done sadly. This past week it looked like they got too happy over the winning streak, and sadly gave it mostly back.

Ends with U?
RUEnds with U?
There is no reason for Nola to be in there that late. Bring in Kennedy and seal it. That’s why he was brought to philly.
He did have a one hitter but was also starting to go deep in counts and I believe he had a walk or two by then. I just think that bringing in Kennedy would’ve been a smarter move to just shut it down. It is what it is, Nola threw one heck of a game! But I agree with your other statements. We need the W today that’s for darn sure!Pretty sure he had a one hitter at that point. You can't take him out with a 1 hitter and 100 pitches in the 9th. That was just bad luck.
Worse is playing Didi who isn't hitting his weight - play Torreyes there if you have to play him, Knapp had one good year (last year?). The Torreyes hot streak is over play Bohm. Let Torreyes play in the 8th and 9th if you don't like Bohm's glove. And the same with Brad Miller. The hot streak is over he's back to being a AAAAA player.
This team and manager are done for the year. Nice to see Nola step up for 8 2/3.
And as much as I like Cutch he's a 4th OF now. I'd rather they played Haseley - which brings me to my next question, WTF happened to Haseley? He never proved he couldn't play to me.

Another good point.I'm not sure I'd say there's no reason for him to be out there, especially when you consider the Phillies bullpen this year. Heading into the 9th, Nola had 100 pitches through 8 innings, 1 hit allowed, 1 walk allowed, and a 12 pitch 8th inning heading. Certainly justifiable to have him come out in the 9th to try to finish it off.
It really wouldn't surprise me if the 3 batter minimum rule is the reason why Girardi didn't go to the bullpen to lead off the 9th. You have a starter pitching a hell of a game and if you go to the bullpen to start the 9th and the reliever clearly doesn't have it after the first 2 batters, you're still stuck with him for one more batter with the winning run at the plate.
I thought I was going to hate him but I actually don’t mind him. But no one compares to Kruk and his commentary.Ruben Amaro is only great if you are Adam F. Goldberg. Have Kruk or Schmidt do it remote. Please get him out of there.
I think with Rhys back the Phils realize a lineup with Segura, Harper, JT, Rhys, Didi, Cutch is enough veteran offense if it means Toe at 3B making the plays that Bohm does not. You have to figure this is the end of the line for Didi and Cutch with the Phils, so I’ll assume Bohm is competing for the starting 3B job come Spring. This demotion is just a speed bump, no reason to totally give up on Bohm.
Since 8/1 he's batting .217Bohm sent to AAA today despite hitting .291 since 8/1. And the Phils kill another young talent.

I'll take you word for it but elsewhere on the web says .291.Since 8/1 he's batting .217
I grabbed it from baseball reference, has him at 10/46 for .217 average, .280 OBP, .283 slugging since the start of the month.I'll take you word for it but elsewhere on the web says .291.

He's not fully healed and they plan on sitting him a few times a week, from https://theathletic.com/2786058/202...ndrum-protecting-rhys-hoskins-2022-questions/And where the hell is Hoskins today!!??
The Phillies are planning to ease Rhys Hoskins’ workload when possible; he will play the remainder of the season in some pain because his groin injury has not fully healed.
The Phillies lifted Hoskins in the eighth inning of Sunday’s win against the Padres. They will have to maintain caution.
“We’re going to do that to protect him,” Girardi told reporters on the postgame video call. “Sometimes it can be just one play that grabs him.”
Whatever it takes. The Phillies need Hoskins in the lineup as much as possible. If it means sitting him twice a week, then so be it.
