No one is happy with the Phillies.
There are a multitude of reasons why Phils fans are annoyed with their baseball team. The offense has been maddeningly inconsistent, with strikeouts galore, an inability to hit with runners in scoring position, and streakiness running up and down the lineup all season long. Two big league veterans brought in to pitch in the Nos. 4 and 5 spots in the rotation, Matt Moore and Chase Anderson, have been brutal. Injuries and a lack of depth throughout the organization have prevented manager Joe Girardi from making smart baseball moves and have actively forced him into making dumb ones, such as asking an injured Bryce Harper to risk further injury to a sore shoulder when he ran out of position players in Sunday’s series finale to the Blue Jays.
