Phillies' 2023 GDT #71: 6/17/23 Phillies(36-34) @ A's(19-53) - 4:07pm

Braves are fantastic at taking care of business.

Not really worried about Atlanta or even Miami.
What I'd like to do is pass San Francisco and then put some distance between us and them.

THEN we can worry about catching either Miami or the NL West second-place team.

Since they swept the Phillies, Giants have been on fire

Frustrating offense today, but nice win

Well, we need to hope that:

1. One of Miami or San Francisco is not sustainable
2. OR We can outplay San Francisco by 2 games OR Miami by 4 games between now and the end of the season.

Not exactly a dire predicament yet.

I think there's also a chance Arizona falls back at some point.

As far as the logjam right behind us (Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Chicago, New York), I actually think it's the Mets who could end up posing the biggest threat, as much as they're struggling.

I don't understand the Dodgers at all.
The only way their decisions of the past 2 years are maybe justified is if they give $600M to Ohtani this offseason
