Have you ever seen that Lady Gaga meme, where the pop star rattles off all these great adjectives? The center field situation for the 2021 Philadelphia Phillies has been the complete opposite. It isn’t “brilliant,” “amazing,” “incredible,” nor “show-stopping.” It is, however, an unmitigated disaster.

Pretty much everything that could go wrong for the Phillies in center field has gone wrong so far this season. Roman Quinn has started five games in center, while Adam Haseley has started seven.
