The season opening homestand didn’t go the way the Phillies hoped. The team declared they wanted to get off to a hot start, but 2-4 would not fit most people’s definition of “hot.”
Why have they sputtered out of the gate? While there have been some issues with the pitching staff, I think most of the blame lies with an offense that doesn’t have enough positive contributors at the moment. There are a few black holes in the lineup at the moment, and unless they’re going to get more three home run nights from certain players, that will need to change.
