I believed that after struggling so badly through the first few weeks of the season, the Phillies’ bullpen would start to improve. I’ll concede that this isn’t the most talented group of relievers ever assembled, but I didn’t think they were historically bad. So it stood to reason that they’d start to pitch at least a little better at some point.
I was wrong. The Phillies relievers have somehow gotten even worse, and were the main culprits in the Phillies blowing two leads - one of them seven runs! - in the process of being swept in a doubleheader by the Blue Jays.
