It’s a mess. I think Dombrowski has been using this season as proof with Middleton that the core of this team needs to be blown up. It’s just a matter who they can let walk or trade.

Purely from a baseball standpoint I have to feel bad for Santander, especially given that he's not a Met or a Brave or somebody we should hate. He was a GG candidate last year and missed that ball by an inch. Then I looked at the box and he went 0-5. If you ever played? Man this is the pits.
But in the words of the late great Norm MacDonald..."Oh well."

Crazy in a way -- Wheeler had a very good start with 9 strike outs, 4 hits, and 1 earned run over 6 innings, but he gets no decision
Coonrod -- blown save
Alvardo -- win
Bedrosian -- Hold
Kennedy (with a 32 pitch 2-walk 9th) -- Save
Not an official category, but seems to me that the game was saved by Harper with his crucial assist to keep it 4-3.
Nola. Ugh. I hope he's been trying to pitch through a nagging injury this season. Otherwise his stuff is gone.
Phillies wake up and realize they may still be in a playoff race and score 5 in the bottom of the 3rd. Bucs still up 6-5.

were all those runs in the bottom of the 6th & 7th with 2 out? (I had to run to the store ... missed some of the details.)
crazy game, but Didi with a 3-run shot in the bottom of the 7th to give the Phils the lead again.
Padres defeated Atlanta in the suspended game that they completed this evening. √
Now those two teams will play the regularly scheduled game.

Fading the Mets on both of these cashes with over a week of baseball left to play.
The Phillies have blown 35 (!!!) saves and the over could hit today (-280 vs PIT). What a wild year. Would love to see the PHL edge out the Braves for the east. Not very optimistic, but going to be a fun final stretch.
It would be pretty historic to blow 35 saves and make the playoffs. That’s a damning statistic and a broken record fir several years.
I think it’s safe to say they have another couple blown saves left in them.
Ranger Suarez. The guy is killing it. Performance wise he's now the #1 or #2 starter. His run has been amazing.
Ranger 4H complete game, Phillies win 3-0
I've always liked VV but his inconsistency was frustrating. When he was on he was fantastic but he could only keep it up for two or three innings at a time. I hope he's lights out today.
He did his normal routine again. Looked dominant then blew up when one thing went wrong in the 3rd.
Harper is going to win MVP. Suarez will rightfully at least receive CY Young votes. Not many guys can pull what he has off midseason.
Yep. Second time through the lineup usually gets him. Which means he could have a hell of a career as a reliever. But he wants to be a starter . . .
What an efficient outing. Threw 97 pitches, struck out 7 and walked 0.
His ERA for the year is now 1.45.
Manny Machado just hit a grand salami against the Bravos. 7-3 Friars.
that was the bottom of the 5th. The Braves have put up 4 runs in the top of the 6th (Soler with a 3-run HR), making the score 7-7. After Freeman signaled after the HR, the Padres replaced pitcher Nail Crismatt with Dinelson Lamet.
Padres scored 1 in the bottom of the 6th, making it 8-7, Padres.
