That’s the sign of a non winner. Winning teams win the close games. They should have the two games they lost
It could be a sign of a team that struggles in the clutch, but it's much more likely bad luck over a small sample size. Baseball is the sport that by far has the biggest luck factor.

If you look back at May and June, you will see that the Phillies won a number of 1-run games.

I certainly agree that luck plays a key role in winning. Their stupid base running and striking out have nothing to do with luck. As an old timer I still have nightmares of 1964

I may be off on my judgement, but it looks like to me the Phillies are flaming out post all star game. Errors galore (ahem, Turner) and anemic bats. Wheelers getting shelled tonight too and his defense sucks.

smh. Fish score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to win 8-7. Really didn't see that with Duran in to pitch the bottom of the 9th.
