What a pathetic show. These guys are great, but you can't have such crazy highs and lows.

I was just about to say that. What is it about Philly teams choking away Game 6s at home? If they don't win tomorrow, this will be right up there with the all time worst choke jobs in Philly sports history which is definitely saying something.

Just like last year. Games 3 and 4 of the WS were absolute night and day. It will be extremely disappointing if the Phils lose tomorrow. If not for Kimbrel this series would have been over already.

Choke job complete.

This team lacks speedy but patient small ball players the way AZ does. That's what did them in last year in the WS. Dombrowski has lots of work to do in the offseason.

Nola deserves blame too - dont see him returning, either....

True, but with the exception of the one bad inning by Nola in Game 6, their starting pitching was quite good this series. It was their hitting (or lack thereof) that killed them in games 3, 6, and 7. Kimbrel not coming back pretty much goes without saying. Fortunately, they'll have Painter healthy next season to potentially replace Nola if he leaves. If I'm Dombrowski, I'd try my hardest to bring back Suarez next season who has shown that he can turn it up a notch in the playoffs.

Would also like to see us move on from Hoskins (not his fault he got injured before the season but IMO he's the most expendable of their power hitters) and Bohm.

I was screaming to send him. Awful move in a game like this and in a series where the Phils have been terrible with men in scoring position. Their outfielders' arms are not good, so taking the extra base was always the right play.

Who put Kimbrel in game 4? That guy should take a lot of blame. In fact he should be fired.

Turns out they were more like the Sixers than everyone thought.

Bummer, I thought for sure we'd take it this year.
