The last stand: Phillies vs. Rays series preview
Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports Will Vince Velasquez let us all down yet againAfter 57 games, what do we know about the Phillies? We know that their lineup and starting pitching can hang with just about every team in the majors. We also know that they’ve somehow assembled the worst collection of bullpen talent seen in the majors in quite some time.
