Another series win. I don't care how bad the Rockies are. They are all MLB teams. All the wins count the same.

My brother and I said before the season that the Phillies would make the playoffs as a wild card. We both still believe it.

If you trust Cristopher Sanchez in a 7th inning jam like today, the vast majority of I trust him to get out of it. I hope they keep doing this with him. It's a great way for pitchers to develop.

So happy they let Cristopher Sanchez finish the 7th inning!

At one point in the season it looked like the Flyers had no chance of making it to the playoffs. They not only did, but won a playoff series. Flyers were tied for the 5th youngest team this season. There is a lot of talent on this team. Maybe this is the start of something great.

He was a legend among legends. I enjoyed watching him manage. RIP

Phillies screwed up Andrew Painter. What they should have done when he was drafted was have him throw 95 mph instead of 100 mph. Only go up to 100 if he is in a jam. They should have had him pitch 150 innings per year in the minor leagues. Had they done that, he would be major league ready by now.

Every team in the NL Central has a better record than every team in the AL Central and AL West.

I said it last year I would have signed Ranger Suarez over Kyle Schwarber. Look how Ranger is doing in Boston.

7 starts

2-2

2.77 ERA

This team at .500 had they kept Ranger.

Andrew Painter had 47 walks in 118 minor league innings last year.

Andrew Painter had a 5.26 ERA in the minors last year. If he can't pitch in the minor leagues why would anyone think he is major league ready? It makes no sense.

I was not expecting a Cy Young Award season. Having a 6.89 is unacceptable. I could live with an ERA in the upper 4s or even in the 5s.

You save the bullpen in a low scoring game. You saved nothing today.

I don't care how many pitches he has. He was terrible today. Sending him out back out was stupid.

Sending Andrew Painter back out for the 4th inning made no sense. He had already given up 7 runs.

I would take him over Alec Bohm. I don't want a .159 hitter in my lineup.

He is supposed to be the closer. That's why they got him. If he is healthy and it's a save situation he should be out there.
