David Bote

Called strike (74.6 mph curveball)
In play, no out (91.9 mph four-seam fastball)

David Bote doubles (6) on a line drive to center fielder Brandon Marsh.

[Philsmania]

Considering how well the Phillies played in July and August, that previous Cubs sweep may well have been a blip at that snapshot in time. At this snapshot in time, however, it is par for the course and this Phillies team--again at this snapshot in time--just might be the worst team in baseball. I doubt we could even compete with the Nationals or Athletics at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't win another game this season.

After watching the hanging slider in the middle of the plate for strike 3, I would tell Rhys we are no tendering him at the end of the year.

I am so sick of him and Nola. Coming out of 2017, they were supposed to be the homegrown ace and star player we would build around. They symbolize the failure of this rebuild. Getting rid of them would lift a black cloud hovering over this organization.

Alec Bohm pops out softly to catcher Willson Contreras in foul territory.

[Patchmk88]

Our chase rate over the past 4-5 games has to be astronomical.
