One of the strengths the Phillies thought they could count on heading into 2022 was the starting rotation. Had someone looked at the roster before the season, glancing at the five rotation members would have had someone nodding in agreement if a fan had said “They might have a top 8 rotation in the game!” Prior to tonight’s game, the rotation was ranked 21st in the game with a 4.23 ERA. Each outing has felt like someone was “still going through their spring training” as no one had yet to go over 100 pitches in any game.
