The Phillies blew another one – this time to the Washington Nationals. Cristopher Sánchez barely got through 6.1 innings before being lifted in the 7th inning with two on and one out. Enter Jonathan Bowlan, who has been running on fumes for the last month. And on his first pitch…

Phillies lose. The lineup is back to what we’ve seen most of the season. And even the camera in the TV booth had enough of the Toyota Corolla Crossover:

Can’t blame the camera. It became sentient. Who wants to continue to hear about how bad the bullpen has continues to be or Bryce Harper going 0-4? Not that camera.

Respect to Tom McCarthy, though, who made sure he would at least get in a parting shot.
