Quite the dual between Alcantara and Burnes.  Given how they lost the game before it would have been a disaster had Williams not slammed the door shut.  But he made it interesting.

Would not shock me to see the last WC spot come down the the last game of the season.  Seems like it’s headed that way.  Thankfully if it does we go with Burnes again.

Remnants of Ian causing rain delay in game 1.  Looks like it could be off and on showers all day in D C.

With this forecast Wed might not be the end of the regular season for the Phillies.

Williams is just not ready to be a closer.  You just can't miss by as much as he does and be an effective closer.   Should have used Boxberger in the 8th and bush in the 9th especially after the performace by Williams last night.

Good thing they got a guy back in the Hader trade in Taylor Rogers that could help a little bit this season. (SARCASM)

Why not bring him in after Williams struggled last night? Is he hurt?

Gasser and Ruiz better be really good.

I almost always lean on "trade the closer before it's too late", but mid season when you are in first place is still super odd (and I had hopes for a higher return, except the whole baseball world probably thinks the same of relievers as I do).  Hader has righted his ship after his fustercluck weeks and the Crew have lost waaaaaay to many games after the 8th inning.
