Like so many games this year, the Phils score early then the offense simply shuts down as the opposition takes over in the late innings, and we waste a good pitching effort. Very frustrating.
That is exactly what has happened the vast majority of this season. Chollie seemed to have an effect on that pattern but now his influence appears to be fading like a really bad cheesesteak.
Nice win but we ain't going to go very far going 6-4 in the last ten. WE are 3.0 back of the Nuts and 9.0 back of the Bitches. We are simply going to have to go 8-2 or 9-1 in a 10-game stretch to put the pressure on those two teams above us.
