The Phillies are going to lose a lot this season, and they aren’t going to have a precise explanation for each and every L. There will be dropped balls, missed locations, and days where they just don’t show up. But some games aren’t worthy of analysis; you are just going to lose 60-90 times a season, no matter who you are. On occasion, you’ll just be throwing yourself onto the gears of baseball and getting ground into mush.
The idea is to have as few of these losses as possible. You want to know what went wrong because then you can fix it.
