We knew the Phillies would struggle to score runs this season. We knew their starting rotation would be vulnerable and potentially among the worst in the National League after Cole Hamels.
But we didn't know the defense was going to be THIS bad.
In their ghastly 9-1 loss to the Miami Marlins on Thursday, the Phillies committed another two errors, bringing their season total to 17.
That's 17 errors in 16 games. In fact, the Phils have almost twice as many errors as they do home runs (9), and their 17 errors ties them with the Washington Nationals for the most in baseball.
