Neris is not a closer. The Lefty Alvarado should be closing games for the Phillies.
The only highlight of the night was Freeman's wife and sister.
And I wish I could x3 like any post that says Neris is a killer. He has never been not consistenly horrifying even when he does his job. I wish he would stop pitching.

The guy was 7 for 9 coming back from the injury list and gets pulled as part of a double switch for Scott Kingery. SMFH.
They’re trying to save Kingery’s career to show that the previous 2 GMs got at least 1 draft selection right. To repeat: do NOT allow any Ivy Leaguers (Klentak) into your baseball organization. They rollout their fancy analytics when drafting and developing players and you get a starting 8 with 2 home grown (Hoskins and Bohm) players who might be average if you’re lucky.
Phils vs. Nationals. Herrera with a HR in the top of the 9th to tie it up, 2-2. Then in the top of the 10th, the Phils scored 3 runs to make it 5-2. Can their bullpen get thru the bottom of the 10th?
Herrera knocks key HR in win: 'He's a Phillie'
He knew he did something great the moment he hit a 0-1 hanging slider from Nationals left-hander Brad Hand with one out in the ninth inning Wednesday night at Nationals Park. It is not easy to hit Hand. He had not allowed a homer since September 2019. He had not allowed a homer against a left-handed hitter since September 2018.But Herrera hit a game-tying solo home run to center field against Hand to propel the Phillies to a 5-2 victory in 10 innings.
The Phillies won their first road series (minimum three games) since Sept. 17-19, 2019, against Atlanta. They can sweep their first road series since April 13-15, 2018, against Tampa Bay with a victory on Thursday.
“I feel really good, really excited because I put the team in a good way to win the game,” Herrera said...
“He’s been good,” Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper said. “He’s been playing the game hard, playing it right. He’s one of us. He’s a Phillie. He comes in here every single day and prepares to play hard. I think you’re seeing him get more comfortable with us -- get more comfortable with the team and in the batter’s box, as well. It’s a tough game to take time off, not being able to play, and then come back and get thrown into the fire. I think he’s getting more and more comfortable every day as you can tell by his at-bats....

Odúbel Herrera let the bat fly. He knew he did something great the moment he hit a 0-1 hanging slider from Nationals left-hander Brad Hand with one out in the ninth inning Wednesday night at Nationals Park. It is not easy to hit Hand. He had not allowed a homer

Don't forget the clusterf$%# fly ball that he should have caught where he wound up colliding with Harper. But I think he's the best option in CF right now. In a lot of ways, MLB has become the NBA where posturing, taunting, and showboating are as important as winning the game.
At this point, Odubel seems the best of some poor options for Center Field. Streaky hitter and has power.
It was nice seeing them come from behind late and win a game as opposed blowing a late lead and losing.
I was like...is this really happening?!? Still mad over the blown game against Atlanta.
Did anybody catch the stat McCarthy threw out last night about games in which the Phillies had leads? At 20-17 they've had the lead in 32 of the 37 games. Unknown how many wins were comebacks, but to be 3 over .500 at this stage, (which is OK on its own I guess) and knowing they surrendered the lead that many times it gives one pause.
On the other hand, maybe they're just lucky to be 3 over.

Road sweep again slips through Phils' grasp
The Phillies felt pretty good the moment Andrew McCutchen stole home in the first inning Thursday at Nationals Park. They hoped to sweep their first three-game series on the road since April 2018 against Tampa Bay. Remember that one? Jake Arrieta, Edubray Ramos and Yacksel Ríos got the wins at

To be honest, I was expecting Neris to blow the four run lead. When he hit the leadoff man, I thought "Here we go." Happy to be wrong but his inconsistency is maddening.
Well, that was an atrocious game last night. Playing in a minor league park, they played like a bunch of guys in A ball. I do think the lighting is bad. It seems like our guys had trouble picking up the ball on offense and defense.
Long road trips ends today. Time to get back home, take a day off and start putting together some W's.
