This team is so frustrating to watch. Can we please send Alvarado to Siberia?

How does a guy pitch arguably the best game of his life, go 9 innings, and then to the IL?
I would think they would have taken him out of the game if he was feeling discomfort. Hope they didn't mess him up by leaving him in.

Thank goodness for Wheeler's fine outing

What a disastrous day for the Offense. Despite 13 walks, the Phils left 13 on base and were 1-10 with runners in scoring position.

It does seem that their batting average with RISP is pretty poor for the season. It may be, but I couldn't find quick data for 2026 on that.

I did find the team averages for the season for runners left in scoring position, and the Fightins do rather well versus the rest of the league. Their average for runners left in scoring position per game is the 7th best this season in MLB.

1. LA Angels: 3.21
2. Atlanta: 3.24
3. Cincinnati: 3.28
4. Houson: 3.28
5. San Diego: 3.30
6. Seattle: 3.32
7. Philadelphia: 3.37
8. SF Giants: 3.37
...
29. Chi. Cubs: 4.00
30. Milwaukee: 4.05

I did a little more checking, and did find 2026 MLB stats for team average with RISP. It turns out the Fightins do pretty well. They have the 3rd highest team battling average with RISP.

1. Tampa Bay Rays: .286
2. Milwaukee Brewers: .275
3. Fightins: .271
4. Minnesota Twins: .267
5. LA Dodgers: .265
6. San Diego Padres: .264
7. Texas Rangers: .264
8. Atlanta Braves: .264
9. SF Giants: .263
10. Pittsburgh Pirates: .261
...
29. LA Angeles: .234
30. Cincinnati Reds: .218
