More of the Same

You're down by 1 run in the 8th inning on the road in the biggest game of the season and you make the call to the bullpen for...a guy who has allowed 7 runs in his last 2 games?

What the hell was Gabe Kapler thinking? Luis Garcia was not the guy to bring in for that point in the game. He walked 2, gave up 2 hits and 4 runs. Game over. Serathony Dominguez or (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Hector Neris should have come in. All season long, Kapler said he was going to go with the best guy for the situation at hand. It wasn't Garcia. Ugh.

But the game was all kinds of ugly that we've seen all season long. Bad defense, bad baserunning, questionable decisions. We shouldn't really be surprised.

The Phils find themselves 6.5 games out of first with 10 games to play. They no longer have a slim margin for error. They cannot afford to lose again, otherwise, they're done.
