We will most likely win the wildcard but let me be honest. Playing the Brewers who are the hottest team in baseball right now in the 1st round is not going to be easy. Especially, when u consider our sub-par pitching the 2nd half of the season(after all star).

Phillies vs D Backs or Giants

Terrific pitching by both teams. Just a mistake to Chipper was the difference. Very big win tonight.

Mike Minor was fantastic and so was the pen.

I feel more positive about Minor after this outing and I believe he needed the confidence boost.

Minor>>>>>>>>Lowe. It's what I alluded to earlier when JJ went to the DL, Minor is finally getting a chance to prove himself and he's making the most of it, if management keeps Lowe over Minor when we get get healthy then I don't know what I'll do
