After an unsuccessful West Coast swing, the Phillies will head back to the East Coast to take on the Boston Red Sox. Many of you are likely thinking: If the Phillies couldn’t beat the lowly Padres, what chance do they have against the mighty Red Sox?
If you’re feeling pessimistic, then I have to ask: Have you not been paying attention? All season, the Phillies have suffered bad losses, and each time, they’ve bounced back nicely. It was only two weeks ago when everyone thought the Phillies were in a tailspin, only to see them win five in a row.
