I think Rios has earned the demotion. As bad as Neris was tonight, I think he may be of more use than Rios. Three walks so fat this inning.

This loss is on the bullpen. While the offense could have been better, the Phillies managed to put together a big inning. There’s no excuse for allowing nine runs in three innings.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-22 03:56:43 UTC #164

…..and the beat (down) goes on.

I was feeling pretty good when the Phillies took that 4-1 lead, but it just seems to have woken up the Nationals. It's been ALL Nationals since.

Kapler’s going to be really stretched to spin some positives about this game.

He can isolate the failure to one area. The bullpen. Total absolute failure by the pen tonight. Multiple pitchers all pitched poorly.

I’m hoping he doesn’t even go there. The bullpen wet the bed in an otherwise winnable game. There’s no way to spin that.

A very bad night for the Phillies.

Braves win, 6-1 over Pittsburgh.

Nothing good to say about the Phillies play in the first game of the series in DC.

Let's hope things go better tomorrow.

Lawman 2018-08-22 12:38:33 UTC #175

We all felt coming into this season that the Phils were around a .500 team. They sure are playing like it right now. They haven't won a series since earlier this month and their offense is (borderline) atrocious at worst and inconsistent at best.

Gotta love this headline:
