Joe DeCamara admits he has two major macro concerns about the Phillies right now—outfield and bullpen. "The Phillies' outfield, as put together as Dave Dombrowski, remains weak. Of the five guys that play out there, there's really only one that I know I feel pretty good with. And even a guy like Castellanos can be up and down...But the other four—Kepler, Marsh, Rojas—and I love Sosa. But if we're going to start viewing him as an outfielder now, which he will be at times, you have to acknowledge the fact that he's an inexperienced outfielder and that did play a part last night. So the macro is the Phillies' outfield, for a team that is trying to win a World Series, is in a word: weak. That's a fact." "Number two...the Phillies' bullpen does not look good. And the two guys I'd say you'd probably feel, at this point, the most confident in have both really have had some struggles this year—Strahm and Kerkering. And they're the two guys I'd say most people probably feeling the best about."

The Phillies have won the first three series to start a season for the first time in 14 years
