Andrew McCutchen put it best. “We got our butts kicked.”

The Phillies got their butts kicked for the third straight game against the Brewers after winning the first game of their four-game series on Monday. This time, Milwaukee got off to a good start before piling on more runs when starter Zach Eflin was pulled en route to an 11-3 win over the Phils. Since Monday’s win, the Phils were outscored 22-6 by the Brewers.

The Phillies gave up at least one run in seven of the nine overall innings, holding Milwaukee scoreless in the second and sixth. Christian Yelich got things started with a home run in the top of the first before Jean Segura countered with a deep ball of his own in the bottom half of the inning. Ryan Braun singled in a run in the third before Segura and Rhys Hoskins both brought in runs on outs in the bottom half of that inning.

But the Brewers would score the game’s final nine runs to take the blowout win, with the crux of the scoring beginning in the seventh when Adam Morgan walked Braun and hit Mike Moustakas. He was pulled in favor of Seranthony Dominguez who would proceed to give up a three-run homer to Yasmani Grandal. An inning later, Edgar Garcia gave up a homer to Yelich, which was his second of the afternoon, as well as walking in another run. Austin Davis gave up one final two-run bomb to Moustakas in the ninth for good measure.

While the pitching had trouble, the bats were silent. Only four hits in all in the loss, and none coming after the fifth. Bryce Harper did record a hit and was moved up to second in the batting order. Nothing there.

That series is done. The Phils have a new one starting this weekend as they host the Colorado Rockies for a trio of games beginning tonight at 7:05 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Cole Irvin looks to carry over his success from his Mother’s Day debut against Jon Gray.

More Sixers talk to end your week. Why Philly’s problems with head coach Brett Brown are on a macro level.

Can Ben Simmons learn how to shoot from his brother and use that knowledge? From Philly Voice:

The Simmons family has long believed they are capable of getting through to him in a way others aren’t. When Howard Eskin or another obnoxious media type is flapping his gums at a press conference, it’s fairly easy to tune that out. When you are being confronted by people who love you and have raised you, it’s a little tougher to ignore. Their circle is a small one, but it is a tight one, and there are benefits to taking that approach that isn’t necessarily visible to the public.

“With the family, I think there is an insulation in a good way to call him out, to help him get into a gym. There’s not any sort of head fakes or fear of choice words to get into a gym and work, and to Ben’s credit, that hasn’t been pulling teeth, he has put in time,” Brown said this week. “Who he will be working with this summer is still being discussed… His brother will continue to work with Ben, I believe he said that, and I endorse it. I think that it’s a relationship that I don’t see at all harmful. In fact, I think it has a chance to be very productive.”

If that is to be the case, we haven’t seen a lot of visual evidence yet. Simmons’ mechanics are still mostly a mess in the shooting department, as it often looks like parts of his body are fighting one another instead of working in tandem. A flailing elbow here, awkward hand placement there, and inconsistent lower-body mechanics fuel theories like the popular meme that says he should begin shooting with his more dominant right hand and start over.

Might as well think about the NBA Draft with the season over.

On social media, did Jimmy Butler say goodbye to Philly? To me, it doesn’t look like it.

If you see “John Wick 3” this weekend, Boban will make a cameo. He had a hard time beating up Keanu Reeves’ stunt double.

When it was time for action, (director Chad) Stahelski directed him to kick Spidell. “Boban, being a nice guy, said, ‘No, no, no, you don’t really want me to kick him,’” Stahelski said. No, no, no, they said. That was exactly what they wanted. Only when they assured him that it was Spidell’s job to get kicked in the chest was Marjanovic comfortable mangling his friend.

“We had calculated the stunt man was going to land about eight feet away,” Stahelski said. “He landed about 15 feet away.”
