Season Finale Series. 1st pitch.

Once again, a subtle reminder that Marsh in CF costs the Phillies runs. He doesn't get to a base hit fast enough so it turns into a hustle double, the very next batter hits the ball up the middle where Turner would be at double play depth, instead, it's run scored.

Something is wrong with Suárez.

Very concerning.

Ranger clearly rushed himself back and is still not in game shape.

I think any hope of that first seed is gone.

How do you start him in the playoffs? Even as #4,what if they’re down 1-2?
Big big problem.

Dodgers up 6-1.

And that’s pretty much a wrap on the 1 seed.

Honestly, we should all be concerned about the Phillies going into the playoffs. Three months of basically mediocre play with too many of these uncompetitive games in recent weeks.
