I disagree these games are meaningless. The #1 seed and HFA would be huge for the Phillies. If they cannot get up for that, that is troubling.

Juan Yepez

Ball (93.6 mph sinker)
Swinging strike (85.5 mph sweeper)
Foul (87.3 mph sweeper)
Ball (82.3 mph curveball)
Ball (95.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (86.3 mph sweeper)
Called strike (86. mph sweeper)

Juan Yepez called out on strikes.

[EastFallowfield]

Home field didn't do Jack Schmidt against the D'Backs, last year, or for the Cards or Braves or Padres in 2022. Maybe the players aren't as concerned about a possible 7th game in LA as we are?

[kikutaro]

Dylan Crews

Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Orion Kerkering replaces Zack Wheeler.
Called strike (86.1 mph sweeper)
In play, no out (86. mph sweeper)

Dylan Crews singles on a fly ball to center fielder Brandon Marsh.

[owaistabish]

Hugely concerning to see this lackadaisical performance right before the post season by the hitters. Awful again.

[LoneStarPhan]

Important or not, the Phillies have been disappointing these final two weeks of the season.

[VoteForKalas]

HFA is never a guarantee. There is no such thing. However, the stats are clear that we play better at home in front of our fans. Putting the team in the best position to win is the goal.

[kikutaro]

Joey Gallo

Ball (85. mph sweeper)
Phillies challenged (tag play), call on the field was upheld: Dylan Crews steals (11) 2nd base.
Called strike (86.3 mph sweeper)
In play, out(s) (86.1 mph sweeper)

Joey Gallo flies out to left fielder Weston Wilson. Dylan Crews to 3rd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Looked to me that Crews was out at second on the steal but they didn’t reverse the call on the field.

[kikutaro]

Jacob Young

Ball (85.7 mph sweeper)
Foul (95.7 mph sinker)
Ball (86. mph sweeper)
Ball (85.7 mph sweeper)
Ball (86.3 mph sweeper)

Nasim Nuñez

Ball (96.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Called strike (86.3 mph sweeper)
In play, no out (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Nasim Nuñez singles on a bunt ground ball to catcher J. T. Realmuto.

[EastFallowfield]

Been seeing more 2 out bunts than usual lately, must be analytics or just lousy hitters.

[kikutaro]

Luis García Jr.

Ball (86.8 mph sweeper)
Ball (86.9 mph sweeper)
Mound Visit.
Foul (97.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (97.6 mph four-seam fastball)

Kerkering gets out of the inning without letting a run score. Results count but not an impressive outing today.

Why can’t the Phillies bunt like that? Beautiful bunt.

Can the hitters score today?
