Welp nothing says Phillies like bats having holes in them like flyswatters
It's crazy-early, but this is going to be the narrative all season after the club did zilch to improve the lineup. They're paying Casty $20M to play for an NL rival and his replacement has eerily similar strengths and weaknesses. Here's hoping guys like Bohm and Stott step up and have big seasons. Crawford too.

Good grief, nice top of the first by Taijuan Walker. Down 4-0 already. Turner fly out first at bat.

Surely there's gotta be somebody better than Walker in this system. He's just so predictably bad.

They're playing like a bunch of chumps tonight. The free run during the double steal in the top of the sixth was garbage. Throwing through to second was a gift for the Nats.

The stars are all starting slow. Without a few big seasons from that group, this is a sub-.500 roster.

It’s very early, but they’re not good enough to overcome a big early hole, IMO.

The Phillies have managed to turn it around in the past few seasons, however, I do not believe this will be one of those seasons.

“Nothing is f****d” here”….😳
