Default Is this Septoria?

The leaves were spotted so I removed nearly all of them. Here's a picture of the brown stems. The fruit are unaffected.

In the second picture, taken from above, the flower stem looks really horrible. I shall remove it.

This is a (determinate) Moneymaker, so I will just grab the fruit when it has reached its full potential and run!

I think you have Septoria that has reached its full potential.
Pick them now, since it has virtually no leaves—what's the point of leaving them on the vine?

Thanks for answering Ray.

Some of the tomatoes haven't reached their full size. Am I crazy to think that they will continue to grow with no leaves left on the plant?

They may grow a little bit more but not much. Sun scald is a definite danger unless you have them under a shade cloth and even then you could get some.

Thanks Bill,

At least it's not so hot here right now. I'll pick the ones that are turning red and check to see if they are getting shaded by the plants growing on either side of them.
