If the Philadelphia Phillies‘ record and position in the standings is any indication, this is a club that needs to make a lot of corrections moving forward.
Coming into the season, the thought was that the pitching would excel while the offense struggled, and while that has been true to a certain extent, it certainly has not been the entire story early on.
The offense has struggled. That is an undeniable fact. Players that we thought would have minor roles have stepped into the spotlight and excelled, but that is a small majority compared to the players who have fallen flat on their faces early in the season.
The pitching staff needs to make a few corrections as well. After often appearing superhuman, Roy Halladay needs to make an adjustment. The bullpen has been in shambles in the middle innings, an the wheels are starting to fall off the rest of it.
Simply put, this is a team with plenty of corrections to be made, but it is still early in the season. There is plenty of time to make those changes, but here is what the team will need to do.
