Klentak and Phillies need to sell what they can.

Season starts 3-0 vs Braves, then 9-5, 24-16, 33-22, now 49-46. Treading water, but can't spurt...no big win streaks sustainable. Meanwhile Atl has went 28-10 last 38, and Wash is 31-12 last 43 games.

Injured, holes in lineup, allow egregious HRs by staff and pen. Starters sans Nola with inflated ERAs. Pivetta and Velasquez can't take the next step, just flashes of brilliance, and no consistency sans dingers.

Can't catch Atl, don't have as good a staff as Wash. LAD/NYY/Hou/Bost on another level to bother in 2019. TB, Minn, Atl, Cub, etc..better everyday lineups top to bottom, and overall staffs.

Pivetta is such a disappointment. I thought he was going to have a huge year this season. Statistics backed it up but it just didn't happen.

I’m not sure you can keep Houston in the “top rotations” category for now. They have no 4-5. There’s no prospects lined up. The original four is really a perfect long relief guy and he’s hurt. No one seemingly will step up and take the 5.

This pitching staff is in disarray at the moment. Hopefully we hear something sooner than later because if they keep fricking around with this nonsense, they’re going to let Oakland catch them.
