I cant do anything about it. The only thing I can do is pitch.The Phillies went 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position and are hitting .145 in those situations in the last eight games.FIGURE IT OUTInterim Braves manager Brian Snitker believes RHP Matt Wisler and RHP Aaron Blair will be back in the majors soon.Atlanta has a lot invested in Wisler, getting him in the trade that sent closer Craig Kimbrel to San Diego in April 2015, and needs him to command his slider better. Wisler was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett Friday after giving up 16 homers in his last 10 starts.Blair, acquired in the trade that sent Shelby Miller to Arizona and brought Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte to the Braves, has made two strong starts at Gwinnett after struggling earlier in his demotion.
