John Kruk Blasts Phillies Amid Terrible Astros Series

It's hard to blame Kruk when the Phillies' offense, through three games and 27 innings, scored just one run, and it was on a sacrifice fly. But, as Kruk alluded to, the Phillies' pitching was great.

The starters and the bullpen during the Astros series allowed five runs total, yet the Phillies were swept. Ranger Suarez, Christopher Sanchez, and Zack Wheeler all had great performances, but were either on the hook for the loss or had a no-decision since their offense couldn't get anything going.

When the Phillies did score in the third and final game, it wasn't meaningless, as it tied the game 1-1. Kruk's reaction was felt by plenty of Phillies fans: "Holy (expletive) we scored!!!"

Unfortunately, the very next half-inning, the Astros retook the lead. Kruk shared his reaction to the Astros retaking the lead: "Son of a (expletive), that tie game didn't last long."

The series against the Astros went about as poorly as it could've gone. Despite great pitching performances, the Phillies' offense was nowhere to be found. Every run the Astros scored was a mountain the team had to climb, and they couldn't manage to do so more than once.

It was a complete disaster of a series for the Phillies' offense, and Kruk blasted them for it. He called the offense awful, was surprised when they scored, and also called the offense painful to watch.
