“Nope. Nope nope nope nope. Nope.”
That was me Tuesday night while watching Luis Garcia surrender single after single after demoralizing single in the ninth inning. The Phillies nearly squandered their 5-1 lead totally, but then came Seranthony Dominguez, who finally got the outs necessary and secured the win for the Philadelphia Tightrope Walkers.
Aside from Dominguez (1.42 ERA, 22 K, 1 BB) and “Big” Edubray Ramos (0.75 ERA, 27 K, 10 BB) the Phillies bullpen has been a disaster lately. Hector Neris has a 5.01 ERA. Garcia is up to 4.74. Tommy Hunter has a 4.
