The thing is, time is running out. There are only 2 weeks left in the season and the Phillies have no margin for error. They still have 7 games left with the Braves, but unless they start winning consistently, it's not going to make a difference.
Some common themes returned in yesterday's loss to the Marlins. Runners left in scoring position, a shaky outing by a starting pitcher not named Aaron Nola, and an error that led to a run. They left 7 runners on base and were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. It's exhaustingly frustrating.
And on top of that, the entire region is going to be in a pissy mood because of the Eagles loss yesterday. People on the train will be surlier than usual. You can always tell how the Eagles did by the mood on the train the following morning. Even if you didn't know the score, you could try and find a seat and figure it out.
