They're going to have to use Alvarado for 1-run saves & for tough spots in the 7th and 8th.
Kimbrel will have to close when it's a 3-run lead.
Soto is going to get a chance very soon for key innings.

The Phillies as constructed just aren’t good. My gut is that they will be functionally eliminated by the time Bryce is back.
Gotta keep an eye on Milwaukee & St. Louis. If they're both 90-win teams, the path to the playoffs becomes extremely narrow. Basically Phillies or Mets for last spot.

Gibault is not great. Let's see if we can last-gasp something here.

Also it’s a lot of money being paid to starters that are not really delivering much.
4 and 2/3 is not good enough from your starter.

Also that Castellanos contract. Yikes. He still looks like shit.

Very true. Need 6-7 inning starts from Nola, Wheeler, Walker.
The sad reality though is that baseball is shifting toward 6-inning starters, at best, until it's crunch time.
Bullpen looks a lot more reasonable if you only have to get 6-9 outs from it, but alas.

With tomorrow being Strahm vs. Alcantara, this was a game we needed.
Now we're staring at 3-7 by tomorrow night.
They're going to spend months digging out of this.

Some of these pitchers were not prepared for dealing with the pitch clock
