Well at least Hector will not be available this evening.
Also: the video evidence was indisputable. It was not a Homerun

Yesterday was the first day that the Phillies, Sixers and Flyers all won on the same day since April 11, 2012
Agree with most of your points, but Nola IMO is definitely a #1 starter and one of the better ones.
Just tonight, he pitched out of trouble in the 6th that few on the current staff could have/would have done.
And the Phillies bullpen immediately starts crapping the bed. hale —— bum.
The nightmares are going to return. This bullpen is still a huge pile of bullshit.
Coonrod is probably the best out there right now. One bad outing that I remember in the past month. The others are a grenade with the pin pulled. Not delighted when he was subbed for Brogdon last night but it worked out tonight, big picture-wise. Guess it'll be Hector again tomorrow. Or who knows.
Guys used to hang two or three inning saves on teams all the time. Now Coonrod struck out the side last night on 11 pitches and came out. I'm sure he was exhausted.
But nice effort tonight and back to level.

The Phils win 5-4. They had four hits with three of those coming in the first inning when they scored all five runs. One hit over the last eight innings and they still managed to win. I can't believe I'm writing this but good job by the bullpen.
Phillies Sign Ruben Tejada
The Phillies have signed veteran utility infielder Ruben Tejada to a minor league contract. Read more about the move at MLB Trade Rumors.

Well, just like I said, Cutch is over the hill, the bullpen is terrible, the starters are erratic, the outfielders can't hit, and Bohm makes too many mistakes at 3rd. Then we sweep a team with one of the best records in the NL. Please disregard all future posts of mine. I'm afraid I've got another case of terminal 1964itis.
What efficient work by Wheeler -- 118 pitches total, 80 of which were strikes. 3 hits given up and no walks.
Both Nola and Wheeler have very good strikeout/walks numbers. Drives me nuts when some of the guys out of the bullpen come in and walk one or two batters right away.
Someone needs to beat the crap out of the a-hole screaming every time Velasquez starts to throw an pitch. Bad enough with that stupid tomahawk chop crap.
VV doing well through 2 innings, as the Phils lead 3-0. He's thrown 41 pitches, so it doesn't appear he'll be going 9 innings. Hopefully, he can keep this going through 5 or 6.
Neris sucks. He gets 2 out in the bottom of the 9th (Phils leading 3-1), mostly with his splitter. Then he walks a man, and then Sandavol hits a pinch-hit HR to tie it up. Neris really missed his location on the fastball to Sandavol.
You just can’t make this crap up. Go up by three top of 12 and now facing a loss in the bottom. Pitching absolutely blows
I'd take Wayne Gomes at this point. The bullpen is so bad, so horrible if you were up 20-0 I wouldn't count it.
Tonight was unreal. The team, I reiterate, is shit. Never so pissed off. I know, nobody cares how angry you or I get.
This team is trashola. Tonight tells you all you need to know.

Better start by getting rid of Neris. This is at least the 3rd year he’s blowing saves left and right as the closer. NOTE TO THE FRONT OFFICE AND MANAGER: NERIS IS NOT A CLOSER!!!!!
What a psychological killer Neris has become for the team. Here they are gutting out wins...get on a roll. Velasquez pitches a good game. Mid relievers do their job....and Neris brings all that effort down in the blink of an eye. Losses like that make wins the next day that much tougher.
