Vasquez being this effective was not on my bingo card.
One thing the Phillies have done well the past few years is combing the waiver wire and finding/improving pitchers on the fringes of the roster.

August 2, 2022: Selected off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies from the Toronto Blue Jays.

August 17, 2022: Selected off waivers by the San Francisco Giants from the Philadelphia Phillies.

November 9, 2022: Selected off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies from the San Francisco Giants.

It does not seem to take much to turn the Padres back into a headcase.

A loss for them tomorrow may push them into sell mode

[Christopher]

Can probably Covey the 9th.

Great job getting the sweep today
Now let's win the series tomorrow

[Christopher]

Three options for how we feel at the end of the day.

1. Happiness and sweet relief
2. Treading water, panic averted
3. DOOM

#1, though of course being us we will find things of concern.
The other thing that makes today good is that they gutted it out in the heat. The Padres ultimately wilted.

If we end up with the Mets and Padres joining the other obvious sellers (Cardinals, Cubs, White Sox, etc.) it could tilt it toward being a pretty decent buyers' market, especially for secondary parts like platoon OF, fifth starter, bullpen...

We're still a game out of the wild card even with today's sweep.

Three spots available for Marlins, Diamondbacks, Giants, Phillies and either Reds or Brewers

[BelmontShore]

Still in ASB mode.

Sleepin' in the field and at the plate.

6-4 win?
9-4 win?

LMMFAO.
Without fail.
