Phillies' 2023 GDT #137: 09/04/23 Phillies(75-61) @ Padres(65-73) - 6:40pm

[FolesMVP09]

Took a break from my loa to vent

Even if they hold on - a lot more negative than positive in this game

Offense needed to score more with their opportunities, but I can't kill them when they score 9

Problem starts with Walker - he is just getting worse every start. Outside of Wheeler, if they make the playoffs, they do not have the starting pitching needed

Soto has been bad more often than not this year and Bellatti is just dreck

Other than Hoffman, no one can be counted on right now in the bullpen

Either they score at least 2 more or they are looking at a loss that could start a downward spiral with their upcoming schedule

3 for 17 w/RISP

Marsh should be playing every day Pache/Rojas should only be playing when Bryce is at 1st

Kimbrel 2 days in a row - got a bad feeling.

game tying HR coming

[wrench248]

Kimbrel is clearly running on fumes.

game tying HR coming

or worse

We are heading to just a horrific loss

[FolesMVP09]

Kimbrel struggles to strike batters out - heading towards 30+ pitches

[wrench248]

Kimbrel escaped the problem he created.

An insurance run (or 5) would be nice in the top of the 9th

[FolesMVP09]

Kudos to Kimbrel for getting out of it - but that was ugly

Please score a few more runs

Hold your breath..Looks like Covey to close. WTF?
Check that. Alvarado.
