The more numbers I go through from the 2018 season, the more stunned I am that the Phillies won 80 games. They were one win shy of winning half their games! The one aspect of their game that has been a problem this entire decade has been their defense. More specifically, their infield.
After Philadelphia’s incredible run of playoff appearances from 2007-2011, the infield has been in defensive disarray since parting with “The Man” Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins. Yes, the Phillies have looked bad defensively, pushing us to the brink of madness.
