It’s all over.
The vibes? Gone.
The talent that led them to a division crown? Gone.
The bullpen’s shutdown ability? Gone.
What looked like a promising season for several months has vanished, trampled in a cloud of emojis and Grimace dust. The Phillies are done, the 2024 dead and buried. Questions are going to be asked, hard questions that will make many people on the roster very uncomfortable. Questions that need to be asked now, questions that may have been delayed a season too long.
All thanks to a team that completely collapsed at the worst possible time.
