Let’s talk about this game and what it means in the grand scheme of things.
First, we’ll recap: the Phillies sucked tonight. Their starting pitcher showed why they need to upgrade the rotation, their bullpen showed why they need to add some quality relievers and not continue to run out the quadruple-A dreck that is bottom feeding on the end of the 40-man roster. The offense could barely muster a pulse until the game was well out of reach, punctuated by a bases loaded, nobody out situation in which they scored exactly zero (0) runs. It was a miserable night that gave people the perfect excuse to go out and enjoy the warm night in the city doing quite literally anything else but watch this game.
