Like Tom Petty- Let's get to the point, let's roll another joint. And the point is the Phillies offense sucks. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just being real. 21 runs in the last 10 games is bad, that's Dead-Ball Era bad. Aside from...

By losing Lou Marson to the Indians, the Phils are left with little catching depth, while Low-A handler Travis d’Arnaud arguably becomes the most indispensable prospect in the system. With a combined line of .228/.323/.365, Phillies’ catchers are already among the weakest-hitting...
