I guess Phillies are taking opportunity to give Nola & Wheeler their only long break of the year, but using Sanchez the first game out of the break when you could use anyone seems unnecessary.

[Christopher]

Next 13 games are trickier than they might have once looked.

San Diego still dangerous
Milwaukee is not bad
Cleveland is no pushover
Baltimore is legit good

8-5 in this stretch would be tremendous

----------

Then we hit a bundle of games against Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Washington where we need to make a lot of hay (plus a huge series vs. Miami)

Drawing a blank on what happened last time the Padres were in town.

Oh wait - is this it?

[Christopher]

Suarez hasn't even pitched for them yet this year, due to injury

[bigel57]

5 k’s in 2innings. This offense way overmatched by good pitching

[FolesMVP09]

Back to needing a 5th starter

and a less crappy offense

[Lipschitz]

I think the Phillies were swept to start the second half last year against the Cubs.

[bigel57]

I’m sorry ,Hall is nota major league player.

[wrench248]

Offense picking up right where it left off before the allstar break.
