After their worst defeat of the season, a 13-2 drubbing at the hands of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies are now a season-worst seven games below the .500 mark.
The odds are not only becoming increasingly stacked against the Phils ever reaching that .500 mark again this season, but the truth in the lack of talent and experience on this roster is becoming more and more undeniable.
Tonight, the Phillies threw Aaron Nola, the young right-hander who is supposed to be the best starting pitcher the club has to offer.
