00:00The rubber match of a midweek set yesterday in Minneapolis and it was a
00:07walk-off for the Twins. They win the finale 5-4. They take the midweek set
00:11over the Phillies. The Phaetons have dropped three sets in a row to the A's
00:15before the all-star break in their first two after the all-star break to the
00:20Pittsburgh Pirates and now the Minnesota Twins. The Arrested Phils had a 4-1 lead
00:24entering the home half of the seventh before Minnesota started its rally and
00:29then in the bottom of the ninth it was Trevor Larnach scoring the game-winning
00:33run. Max Kepler an RBI infield single. Are you concerned at all about the
00:39baseball you are seeing from the Phils following the all-star break? No because
00:43they're not really gonna get any pressure. You know it's the same way to
00:46talk about the Yankees like they're playing bad baseball and you still look
00:48at the standings like okay they're okay. Like if the Braves like made some
00:51unbelievable trades and won 14 out of 15 games you'd start to panic but the Braves
00:55think even worse at this time. So you know it's that human element that creeps
00:59in like yeah we're not playing good baseball but every time we look up the
01:01Braves are getting hammered. So it doesn't really creep into the Phillies
01:05have to hit the pedal. They'll be okay but those are the losses that really get
01:08you angry because you come into this three-game set. Game number one you lose
01:12but your two aces then take them out. Wheeler was fantastic. They bail out in
01:16the ninth inning three to nothing victory. You like that.
01:18Nola's going on the mound the next day. Clear pitching matchup. Nola was
01:21fantastic yesterday and the bullpen for the Philadelphia Phillies which has been
01:24so good for most parts of this season. These are the ones you get upset with
01:28Ben. Nobody's gonna have problems like you know what bullpen came in first four
01:31to five guys reached base because they've all had base hits. Hot base hits
01:34you know batting average against balls in play is up you just get a little bit
01:38unlucky but you can't do this. If the seventh bottom of the seventh inning won
01:41out nobody on. Walk, walk, hit batter. You're going to get beat doing that by
01:46giving teams extra free chances at the plate. Fast forward to the ninth inning
01:51when it was four to four. Gregory Soto comes in. How do you like to lead off the
01:54inning? Hit the batter. Pass ball. Man on second. Bottom over to third. Base hit.
01:58You lose the game. You gave it away. Sometimes it's okay to be like hey man
02:01it was two three run home runs there. What are you gonna do? Just great pieces
02:04of hitting. When you hand baseball games over when you're up multiple runs those
02:08are the toughest ones to take you. So when I look at that game yesterday
02:11really annoyed because that's one that you won that your bullpen just goes not
02:15so fast. We're just gonna give this to you twins and away we go in another
02:19series loss.
