Rays clinch 1st seed in AL so will have nothing to play for when they visit CBP to end the season.

Arraez just had a horrible ankle twist avoiding a tag at first. Not good. Arraez was called out by the home plate umpire as out of the baseline and he was avoiding a tag on an errant throw. Ridiculous. This home plate umpire is a friggin tool.

Is Arraez ok? Was he able to walk off?

Limped off badly. Left ankle and leg got caught in the grass and it didn’t look good. If lucky, an ankle sprain.

UPDATE:

 

[rudedude]

Looks like the Phillies don’t want to make the playoffs and perhaps it’s better if they don’t. It may be the catalyst to change the team.

An Alvarado meltdown. It's hard to expect anything less. Someone should tell him he's not obligated to walk the leadoff hitter.

I really don't want to see him in the playoffs. If they get there.

Down 2-0 already, 5 hits, Sanchez may be washed and Phillies with only 1 hit. Going down in flames.

There is so much pressure on the starters to be perfect given the awful hitting.

Turner has a .673 OPS; OPS+ of 80. Dude is stealing money. -.2 WAR so even a bog standard replacement level guy is better. No wonder the Dodgers didn’t fight too hard to keep him

Realmuto is hitting like a 70s era NL pitcher in the 9 hole - no kidding. .207 BA, OPS barely above .600

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Sanchez did his job. 10k, scattered 5 hits over 7, 2ER allowed. The offense is just garbage. No life at all

 

[GSPVik]

Beginning to look like 1964 all over again.

 

[WestSideLion]

This team doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs. If they do, then it’s a waste of time. They’ll get swept out and be on the golf course in a couple of days.

the last 26 innings, Phillies score 2 runs....

Last 55 innings, 1 home run.

A September bookend to a season that started with a dismal April?

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

the last 26 innings, Phillies score 2 runs....

And not against top flight pitchers either

DBacks crushing the Padres 10-2, Ruh-roh!

The DBacks are on fire - they are scoring runs in bunches

Yeah, they've won 6 straight and scored 48 runs; the Phillies scored 18 runs over the last 6 games and won 2 of 6.

According to the ESPN standings, the Phillies now have a 68.5% chance of making the playoffs.
