The natural reaction to losses like the ones the Phillies had in Arlington this weekend is to freak out about what occurred. It was ugly, of that there is no doubt. The first games of the series, and of the season, saw one of the team’s aces meltdown like Chernobyl.
The second game....well....the less said, the better.
Since those games just so happened to be the first one the team played in the season following the unlikely run at the World Series, there returned the usual consternation and naysaying so commonly found on Phillies social media, it made you wonder where it had been all this times.
