The point is not that the Phillies are a bad team or that they can't win games.
The point is what is being done to be better, to improve on the flaws of the team and thus maximize our chances of success in achieving the end goal everyone - fans, players, coaches, management - wants to achieve.
Their offensive issues have been clear since at least 2022 yet all I've seen is them doubling down on making it worse not better. The pitching is terrific. The pen, albeit a little less known this season, should be fine. But the offense is the same.
Hoping they do better after seasons of evidence to the contrary and that the ball bounces our way one of these times is.not a worthy plan. It requires decisive action after fully understanding the problems and acknowledging they are problems.
DD has rearranged the deck chairs for the third straight season. Should we be surprised this same group may continue to struggle when it matters most? Meanwhile, they have boxed themselves into a corner payroll wise amd refuse to take steps to admit the mistakes and clean up with better choices..
Again, I'll state if the Harper era ends without one ring, it is a failure. Winning is great, but winning rings is what the real goal should be always.
The Eagles know it after being fine with winning for many years, but never getting the parade. You think the Dodgers believe falling shortl is acceptable? Not by their actions. They already won it last season and they worked extra hard this off-season to get even better..
