The Phillies Finally Won A Series

This season it is no secret that the Phillies have been awful. I thought they could fall off some from last year, of course. Age is catching up with them, but no way did I anticipate them being in last place.

There is too much talent there for them to be so bad. The whole situation is weird. Something seems off in general with baseball this year. The Mets are even worse, and that shouldn’t be the case either. Trust me, it pains me to admit that.

The Phillies starting pitching was supposed to be a strength for them, and it has been atrocious for the most part. Many of the hitters can’t hit for shit this year. Marsh, who struggled so badly last year, has been one of their best this year. Baseball is weird like that.

In the past it was easier to tolerate the awful seasons. There were many years that the team flat out sucked. There was when Ruben extended old guys for too long and traded away the farm. The 90s were particularly not fun to watch aside from 1993.
