The Phillies offensive woes were on display in embarrassing fashion this past weekend when they managed just one run in their first two games against a pitiful Atlanta Braves team. Even a 13-hit, 5-run “outburst” in Sunday’s series finale wasn’t enough to mask the undeniable truth that the Phillies offense is an absolute disaster. The corner outfield positions have been among the weakest spots in a lineup replete with weak spots, but Tyler Goeddel‘s encouraging .366/.409/.585 slashline since May 8th have helped alleviate some of the concerns about that particular lineup black hole. Still, with the David Lough‘s 72 wRC+ and Peter Bourjos‘ impossibly low 37 wRC+, it wouldn’t take much to upgrade the Phillies’ outfield.
