The Phillies are 5-1 but can’t score in the game’s first three innings. Go forbid they load the bases either. No team has it worse than the Phillies right now.
In all seriousness, there were plenty of good signs through the first week of the season. They will be tested against an undefeated Dodgers team over the weekend but the Phillies are off to a hot start.
Jesús Luzardo
Jesús Luzardo’s first start as a Philadelphia Phillie was a rounding success and proof of concept for what the Phillies envision. While Luzardo won’t be the most efficient starter in the world, he offers the high-end stuff to complement the rest of the rotation.
