On today’s episode of “Here's The Thing,” Michael Chromiak, Thomas Arnone, and former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams take a look at the Phillies series against the Washington Nationals including the Little League Classic, the biggest concerns are heading into the final months of the MLB season, and their upcoming battles with the San Francisco Giants and St Louis Cardinals. Sunday night, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the final game of a 3 game series against the Nationals, lost the Little League Classic and thus the series. The Phillies, fresh off splitting the 2 game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, were hoping to keep some momentum alive. That would all come to a halt Friday when they lost 8-7. Saturday however, the Phillies exploded late in the game to win 12-3. With the San Francisco Giants and St Louis Cardinals lined up for the week, can the Phillies hold on to the 2nd palace spot in the NL East? September is right around the corner and the MLB Regular Season is coming to a close. In a week where the Phillies played only five games, they managed to put up 32 runs while their opponents could only come up with 21. Yet the Phillies still managed to lose 3 out of the 5 games. Not exactly the week you’d expect from a playoff bound team. It leaves us all wondering one thing. Is the Phillies pitching a bigger concern than the offense? Let us know in the comments below. Moving on from the past, we look towards the future. Tonight the Giants walk into Citizens Bank Park to start a 3 game series. Aaron Nola is set to take on Scott Alexander in game 1,while Taijuan Walker and Michael Lorenzen are set to start the following two games. Can arguably the 3 greatest starters on this roster set the tone and give our offense the room to breathe? Can Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Nick Castellanos get some fire under their bats and take some pressure away from the Phillies pitchers? To round things out, Michael Chromiak and Mitch Williams are going to have a catch. Not literally…but Michael will be throwing some questions to Mitch who will fire back with some raw thoughts.
