Alright, we’ve seen what happens when the Phillies have struggling starters. In the case of Taijuan Walker, he was demoted to the bullpen. In the case of Mick Abel, he was demoted to the minors. Now, it’s starting to look like they have an issue with Jesus Luzardo.
Once the apple of the team’s eye, Luzardo has struggled recently to throw strikes. The issues he’s been having out of the stretch seem to be easily corrected, but why haven’t they corrected them yet? If we can see it all plain as day and the data is there to back it up, what is the team waiting for?
