Another game against the Miami Marlins. Another nightmare finish.
Phillies fans are fed up and for good reason. This tired act by the bullpen stopped being annoying weeks ago and has became flat-out infuriating as Tommy Hunter and Brandon Workman blew a three-run, eighth-inning lead in the Phils’ 7-6 loss to the Marlins last night.
These two teams will play another six games over the next four days, and this was not how the Phillies envisioned kicking things off.
Back on August 21, general manager Matt Klentak swung two trades, one with the New York Yankees and one with the Boston Red Sox, for relievers David Hale, Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman.
