00:00Phil's trying to battle for the top spot in the National League.

00:06They get a victory yesterday in Atlanta.

00:10It wasn't easy.

00:11It was low-scoring once again.

00:13It's a 3-2 win for the Phil's over the Braves.

00:17Aaron Ola solid for Philadelphia.

00:19Max Fried solid on the other side for Atlanta, but it was only

00:23Orlando Arcia that could scratch across a run, a two-run home

00:27run for the Braves.

00:29It was Brandon Marsh in a pinch-hitting spot in the top of

00:32the eighth, and RBI's Zach Fly.

00:34That was the difference.

00:35That was the game winner for the Phil's.

00:38Yeah, after Arcia's home run, I shut the game off.

00:40I couldn't take it anymore.

00:40Just watching again, the Chipotle Brave being the better baseball

00:43team over the Phillies.

00:44And you take a look at, you know, Trey Turner 0-3, Harper 0-4,

00:48Boehm 0-4, Castellanos 0-3, Ramuto 0-2.

00:52That's the middle of your lineup.

00:53And that is a lot of big paychecks on the line right now

00:55that are not performing.

00:57But Aaron Ola did what he needed to do in that game.

00:59Keep the Phillies in it.

01:00The bullpen, even though they slipped up late in the ninth

01:02inning with Estevez, they still were able to get the victory,

01:05which is the most important thing.

01:06But this should be a coronation series for the Phillies.

01:09They should be wiping the floor with the Atlanta Braves and

01:11the same structure that's coming back that what we saw post

01:14All-Star break is still here.

01:16The team just cannot hit and the biggest players on the team

01:19not stepping up right now.

01:20And still they're able to win.

01:21Why? Imagine if the Atlanta Braves were fully healthy yesterday.

01:24Braves probably win that game 11-3 and pace the Phillies,

01:27but they have I mean the lineup that they're running out there

01:29and still being competitive.

01:30That's admirable.

01:31It really is for the Braves as they try to hang on to that

01:33final wildcard spot.

01:35But even though the Phillies won and it's nice, it's just not

01:38a good performance though.

01:39That lineup needs to perform and it just hasn't done so after

01:42the All-Star break.
