Worried about the offense? Yeah, I’m with you.
It’s disconcerting the Phillies have lost six out of seven, including four out of five to the lowly Marlins and Rockies, with most of the blame falling squarely on the shoulders of an offense that was supposed to score runs as if they were bodily functions. And while the lineup hasn’t been awful (top-10 in batting average and OPS), they are struggling to score runs consistently. For a team whose sole design was to score enough runs to paper over some poor defense and a questionable bullpen, they’re simply not doing enough.
