It's easy to say that the Phillies need to do something. Because they do. Their manager knows it. His boss knows it. And, most significantly, the boss' boss knows it.
The conundrum that they always seemed destined to confront is one that came into clear view on Tuesday morning — literally — when an enterprising Phillies fan in the vicinity of Citizens Bank Park noticed that the scoreboard was illuminated with a picture of Patrick Corbin in red pinstripes. This was a notable observation because Corbin, one of the top starters in the majors last season, is not now nor ever has been employed by the Phillies.
