Transcript
00:00NLCS rematch two teams trying to trend in the right direction
00:07down the homestretch of this MLB regular season and the Arizona Diamondbacks just keep winning
00:14games making 15 of their last 18 in the win column for Arizona including the final three
00:21games of this four-game weekend set against the Phillies 12 to 5 in the finale Arizona wins
00:28outright as an underdog Jake McCarthy four RBIs to pace that D-backs offense yesterday
00:34again a 12 to 5 victory well over a total of nine and a half yeah by the way you're taking
00:40a look at Merrill Kelly you know coming back to the Diamondbacks you're 3-0 now in the season
00:43with an ERA of 2.43 that's going to be a help down the stretch here but also the Phillies have
00:48been notorious for this as of late too first inning here Alec Boehm double in the gap two
00:52runners score still one out aren't able to push through any more runs but you figured that's a
00:57great start that's what you want to do and then just getting pummeled through the mid innings and
01:01a bullpen that was so spectacular to start the season leaking a little bit of oil but also you
01:06are going to hit malaise here sometimes in the dog days of summer because you saw when the
01:10Philadelphia Phillies were starting to get pushed by the Mets and the Braves what do they do hey
01:14let's win four out of five games here once everybody starts to lose around you look at
01:18the clock ah it's not so bad eventually we'll get back home we'll play easier teams but that's not
01:22the showing that you want you won game number one Arizona which means the next three games just win
01:26one more of those and get a split out in Arizona which is all you can ask for anything more than
01:30that would have been a plus but they just bottom out for three straight games was certainly
01:34embarrassing for the Philadelphia Phillies still 69 to 49 they're going to make the playoffs they're
01:38going to win the NLEs but it's not certainly showing signs of where that dominating force
01:43that we were in the first half now things could change over the next two to three weeks where
01:46they get their rhythm back or things could stay the same if the Braves and the Mets just continue
01:50to stink up the joint as well
