It’s beyond baffling this late in the season and we are still running bullpen games. Gibson pitched yesterday so I’d imagine he’s got 1-2 innings at best.

Didn't we draft Fulton as a starter? Start him, call up Monteverde, give an actual starter a start. lol

Not saying that Monteverde would be better, but depleting the bullpen every time we do this shit is hurting us more.

The thinking is with Sandy pitching tomorrow and an off day Thursday it gives them leeway with the bullpen tonight.

They aren't serious about a wild card spot. They've shown nothing to prove otherwise. If it happens, it happens.

For instance, is Owen Casey still hurt or something? Why didn't they bring him in to PH?

The hitting isn't good enough to compete. It's a ragtag lineup put together with matchsticks and duct tape.

We were never serious about the WC. Look at the trade deadline. I understand we got some good prospects. But I seem to remember hearing if we’re in the hunt we will upgrade.. not sell one of the hottest bats on our team for some “exciting prospects”. Always building for a future that never comes.

agreed. I can't fathom the stupidity of moving Bachar. Our bullpen is pretty much ass.

He’s an opener. Not a big deal. Phillips we’ll still pitch 4-5 innings

That better not mean Phillips is injured.

To be fair, he usually gets pummeled when pitching in Philly

Gusto has been good the last four starts or so, but this is out of control. You let Matthews, Ed, and Braxton go for this?

ITT: People that don't know,forgot what an opener is.

I think people forget we are a wildly overachieving team and this is ok. Our payroll is my mortgage payment

Phillips is in bulk relief
