Open Discussion: Week of June 20th

Here’s the open discussion thread for Phillies’ talk and other topics.

The Phillies are 30-40.  They went 1-6 last week.  After winning the first of two games in Toronto, the Phillies are mired in a 6-game losing streak.  They split in Toronto, dropped 2 to Toronto at CBP, and have dropped the first 3 of 4 to Arizona in their current home stand.

They begin a 9-game road trip with 3 games in each of Minnesota, San Francisco, and Arizona.  SF could be Peavy, Bumgarner, and Cueto.  Ouch. Continue reading Open Discussion: Week of June 20th →
