1-5 since clinching, we’ve not only allowed Baltimore to get back in the best record race, but also LA to get back in the NL homefield race.

Spare me the hangover bullshite, because LA has gone 4-0 since clinching.

Bullpen continues to be a huge problem

Pitching has just been horrible lately all around. Was really hoping to snag that one after tying it back up.

Of the teams either currently in the playoffs or no more than 2 games out of it, we have the second worst team ERA since August.

Hopefully can finish strong. Have about an easy of a finish as we can ask for.

Apparently I guess we think we are just going to flounder down to the wire and turn it back on in the playoffs no matter where/who we play. It just doesn't work like that

They're playing like a team who is going to get bounced in the first round again.

They are definitely playing like that right now, but that's not to say it's decided that's what will happen.

I will say though, if we get Philly in the NLDS again, we better be prepared to win at least one game on the road because I think there is a better chance that they split the first two in Atlanta than us taking the first 2, especially if Wheeler goes one of those games. He owns us in Truist.

7-9 since the Dodgers series with 3 series losses out of 5 in that span.

It's like we felt like we could coast after winning that.

I think we have 6 games against Washington and 3 against the Cubs. Hope the pitching gets worked out.

We literally beat him in the NLDS in Truist last year.

We’ve lost one game since clinching where we started a pitcher who will start in the NLDS.

I care very little about the Orioles. The implied probability of us facing them in the WS is about 8%. I guess it would be nice to get the 1 seed in the NL but there are clear pros and cons to 1 seed vs. 2 seed as we’ve been discussing for months.

Even finishing strong this next week and a half doesn’t seem to really matter too much as well then turn around and have another week off so I don’t buy that we carry good or bad momentum into game 1 of the NLDS.

I check the box score every day but keeping everyone healthy is really all that matters

I'm more worried about our pitchers getting beat like a drum than anything else.

Because Wright pitched a gem. Go pull up his career stats in Atlanta, especially since he joined Philly.

You're yadda yadda'ing a lot here.

That's fine, doesn't negate the fact that we had to collapse to let the Orioles or Dodgers back in... and look at that, we're on the brink of it.

Cool, so you haven't been watching the bullpen, I take it.

Yeah anyone who isn't concerned about the bullpen is lying to themselves.

Saying that we shouldn't worry because we've only lost one game that Fried, Strider or Morton have started is one of the more disingenuous things I've read regarding this team lately.

Strider and Morton are the only two that have pitched since clinching and Morton got shelled in one of them.

We have 150 game sample size on this team. 6-7 games of meaningless baseball should not alter anyone’s view on this team.

We have arguably the best offense in the history of baseball and 2 of the top 10 starters in the game pitching 4 out of the 5 NLDS games with 3 of those at home.

I’m not going to worry because Joe Jimenez or AJ Minter aren’t missing bats in mid September. I wish we had one more lefty who could get righties out and a little more velocity but we still have the best roster in the sport.

Wringing your hands because the bullpen has hit a rough patch through a few meaningless games in September is beyond stupid.
